Just a random post. I just felt like sayin stuff

Buenos dias -

Its a gorgeous day in Royal Oak and the perfect day to be off from work. We had some intense storms that past couple days and most of Royal Oak is out of power. Insha'Allah it won't be long before DTE can get everything up and running. I'm appreciating the daylight because I'm terrified of the dark. Call me childish, but umm let me tell you what happens in the dark: bugs attack, monsters attack, and not to mention there are plenty of child molesters that may be taking advantage of my very dark and scary complex. Just sayin, darkness = scary things happening.

I figured since I'll be in complete death defying darkness later, I'll run some errands... the fun errands. The errand that includes going to Ulta to find a manicure kit to fix my jacked up cuticles. I also need to go grocery shopping, but Ulta seems like more fun.

Oh, I wanna propose a question: me and a friend were discussing racism the other night and want to know, do you think people spend too much time saying whose racist instead of focusing on each others being? I think so. I wanna hear what you think.

Salaams.

To make up for lost time, there's Henna :)

SALAAMS READERS,
sorry I've been extra M.I.A. lately. I've been working really hard with school and work and haven't had much time to blog or think about blogging, but all break all I could do was think about blogging/writing.

So, just to make up for lost time... I have henna pictures!

yesterday, I got together with a good friend whom I haven't seen in oooooh 2 years and we caught up over giggles and henna. She's an amazing artist and she's one of nicest girls I've ever met. She also didn't make me feel stupid when I told her I was a convert.... YAY!

So, here they are... enjoy and Insha'allahyou'll be hearing from me more often.

Salaams
Dedra :)

Random Ramadan post: partie un

So, I'm sitting on the phone on hold for the past... *checks phone*... TWENTY MINUTES, so i figured I could make a quick post since the state has me on hold all day like I have unlimited day time minutes.

*eye roll*

anywho, I feel like this Ramadan has been extremely difficult for me. I don't know why. It's like I've lost all of my patience. *sigh*

.... the state finally answered the phone!! what took so long!

sorry... lol... continuing, I feel really bad b/c I feel like I've lost grasp on the patience i worked so hard to attain. Maybe it's psychological. Another strange thing is that my LOVELY hayfever has decided to come into play. I've been try to drink all of the water and tea in the world during suhur and iftar, but ummm, nothing stops my throats of itching and my weezing coughs. It drives me insane. Maybe I should get that allergy shot. I heard it's amazing. hmmmm. until then, I guess I'm stuck get very expensive allergy medicine because it's the only kind that stops me from coughing and itching and looking perplexed.

this also means that i must avoid all germinating and dying plants and dusty things and moldy things and smoky things and whatever else makes me sound like a man in the morning.

this also calls for a cleaning binge. i'm a bit excited.

So, I'm curious to know if anyone has been having some troubles during Ramadan? please, don't tell me i'm the only one.

salaams.
good fasting.

ummm.... Ramadan Mubarak?

So, I realized it's been a very, very, VERY long time since I've even said 'hello'.

I apologize. Do forgive me. Life has been being life.

I decided that during a forced relaxation period, that I should at least tell you all Ramadan Mubarak. I hope you all have a fulfilling and uplifting Ramadan and may Allah (swt) accept all of our prayers.

I hope to blogging again soon, insha'allah, but until then I am being forced to rest and not think about life (long story).

See you on the flip side.

Salaams.

Dedra

Mutant mosquitos and MAYSAA

HELLO ALL!

Its another warmy, toasty day in the Midwest. I think Michigan finally made up its mind about whether or not it wanted to stick to warm weather. thank God because I neeeeeed my dose of sun otherwise I'll be sad and cold all the time. I'll also be stuck wearing stiffling socks that inhibit me from enjoying life because I'll be think about how uncomfortable my toes are.

*sigh* Anywho, I've been so busy with work lately and we finally hired a new lady. alhumdulilah. maybe some of the stress will trickle away from the office now because people were getting OUT OF HAND.

I have a list of random things today that I wanted to inform my beautiful readers:

1. I killed this BIG MUTANT mosquito in my car last night. I'm horrified to go in there now. i don't even know how it got in there in the first effing place!!!!! Luckily i had a box of dyer sheets that came in handy. :)

2. MAYSAA is finally about to crack open in a week I believe. if you have NO CLUE of what I'm talking about check here. She's an amazing designer/blogger and you should check her out. she's starting a nice modest line (of which is amazing and I have been waiting for months to come out).

3. That's all I really had. lol

I must go now lads (is that the right term?), I have to go to work. Enjoy you day if its warm and get a pizza if its cold where you are.
Salaam.

ALL MY BABIES!
