Letting go.....

Liz Akhavan - Loved and Lost with lyrics

mood: Not really ready... But, doing it...
craving: Not forgetting anything!

There comes a time in life
when you have to let go of
...all the pointless drama
& the people who create it
and surround yourself with
people who make you laugh
so hard that you forget
the bad and focus solely
on the good. After all,
life's too short to be
anything but happy.

final whisper: I will miss you A LOT

Ohh how I love thee..

mood: =)
craving: NY.NY

Salam Alykom my brothers and sisters in Islam and hello to all my non-Muslim friends and family. I'm sooo lazy to write in my blog. I've been soooo busy lately and haven't really had time to come and blog. Today is busy, as my kids and I are going out to lunch with one of my closest friends and then shopping. :) Tomorrow one of my friends is coming back from Saudia Arabia. Her and her brother are studying here in San Antonio. :) I've missed her so much. They've helped me and my kids in more ways than one with us moving here back to Texas. I just can't wait to see her and hug her. <3 What else? Hmmmm. I guess that's it. It's rainy and cold here. I'll try to be a little more creative with my next blog entry. :D Have a wonderful weekend. :) 

I would always  rant and rave about NY and tell my girlfriends I was gonna live there someday.  I looked at NY when I was younger with WIDE EYES, always wanting to go there and live the fast life.

These days we travel around Germany and it often reminds me of NY. The architecture of the buildings, the way people don't really use cars to go down the the market, the riding of the bikes everywhere, the homes so close together in the city.

Ah, I think I'll keep pretending to myself, pretending I'm in NY. Cause I never got to live there. After all, my heart will always be in America and a tiny piece will always be in NY. But, I can imagine can't I?

Texan in Texas? LOL  My birthday was nice, my son and I spend it together with some of my Muslim sisters.

The other news in our household Is, I  was the last in our house to get the flu, so one of the sisters (mama sara) took care of me. Thank God for her. Other than that, we are doing well, alhamdulilah wa mashallah. Just living one day at a time. I'm looking forward to the new year and God's willing this new year will bring me much happiness and success for my family and I. :)

It's almost been one year since I've started this blog, I hope to continue on with it and make a different blog theme. Until then, I'll think of something catchy. <3 This post was very random and I'm a random kinda gal. Until  next YEAR. Have a happy new year everyone. :) :) :)

He climbs on the high bed and watches me get ready;

I know his love is unconditional, and his love is true
Since the day he was born he has never made me blue;
The only love that will never perish. I love u.

The love of my life, my son.

Tell me a secret Thursday...

mood: tired

craving: a long nice swim in the sea

Salam Alikom (Peace be with you)  to all my Muslim readers and Hola to all my non-Muslim readers. It's the weekend here in UAE, I can't wait to spend some time with my family. I hope all of y'all have a blessed weekend. To those in the west, one more day and your week is over.. Hooray! Now, on to my post of the day. This should be a lot of fun.

{idea brought to you by another blog I read and love}

Welcome, to the first round of "Tell me a secret Thursday"

Here are the rules, here's how it's played:

This is your big chance to anonymously share some secrets you've been keeping to yourself. I think it would be really interesting. They can be small secrets, big secrets, scary secrets, juicy secrets, depressing secrets...There's no judging, anything and everything is valid.

Here's how it works:

1) This is open to anyone who wants to participate, from regular follower to casual visitor.

2) Post a secret anonymously, no names please.

3) I don't plan to censor content or language. However I do reserve the right to remove anything which appears to be posted with the sole intent of offending.

4) I am doing this because I know we all have secrets to hide, we all need someone to listen, and we all need to know that someone is going through something similar.

5) and remember... one of these secrets, will be mine.

So leave your secret below... for everyone knows, we all have secrets, big or small.

final whisper: Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Little red....

mood: happy craving: driving in my old little red car full of my besties She was known as Little Red. She always took me from A to B and was very nice to me and my friends. Her reliability was the most significant thing for a teenager. I was thirteen when my dad got her, and I had no idea one day she would be mine. My mom taught me how to drive a manual transmission car. I also taught most of my friends how to drive a standard. It was so much fun driving her around like there was no tomorrow. If she could speak, she would probably have said something like, "Can you please stop teaching your friends how to drive me? I'm getting tired of all these gear shifts!" While Jessica and Renee wore their nightgowns, I hopped into Little Red and sped down the Allies fast! It was a chaotic scene among the girls. They screamed, laughed, and yelled. The nightgowns they wore are still fresh in my mind! Light blue and light pink stripes! As we rode down the Allies, it was like a scene from a funny movie! The girls looked like maniacs in their matching nightgowns, screaming and holding on for dear life to the hood. I was like the crazy teen speeding in my trusty Little Red. We were the most ideal trio, ready for any adventure that came our way. A car full of my friends drove us to the lake down Avenue "F" while we screamed and danced to loud music. Occasionally, we would go to Mexico, but we ruled the lake and Del Rio. Despite getting married, Little Red stayed with me. Eventually, I sold her to a small car lot because I got a new car. I didn't know who her true owners were until I drove along Avenue F one day and saw her. She was old and beaten up. It was a race against time. I skipped a beat and sped up, passing every car in my path just to catch up to her. Eventually, we were next to one another. To my left, I saw her, orange as ever (the red faded), and the license plate said, Ciudad Acuña. It seemed like she had been through a lot. Just thinking about the memories and laughter she brought me and my friends brought tears to my eyes. Like Little Red, no little car will ever steal my heart. Those were some fun years. I guess you could say it was a love affair... of the vehicular kind. final whisper: My years with you, Little Red, are treasured. You are just as loved by Renee and Jessica. ~Zoom Zoom Zoom~
