A Quick Post Before I Go To Bed Of Which Will Be In List Form Because I'm Too Lazy To Write Sentences

My very sloppy post b/c I am so tired from treading around cold, snowy Oakland County, MI in the midst of a snow storm just to go to work and go get educated.

1. I think I have an addiction to liquid gel Advil. I take it after work and my joints feel warm and smooth.
2. I was wiping my shelf thingie and I realize my Quran(s) are very dusty. This is not good. I'm slacking. I have a slip of paper of where I left off reading - I need to get back to that. [p.s. I have two Qurans, one for reading as in to inform myself and one for recitation. please make note and don't piss me off by saying something rude. k? k.]
3. I have a senile, liberal, Isreali Jewish 74 year-old teacher for English this semester. Yes, it is as controversial as you may think, but she thinks I'm clever. Shows how much yall know. lol
4. The past 3 weeks were filled with hot, steaming dog poo. I am drained. I'm retiring from life.
5. I may be considering writing a novel. Not like, 'I'm bored so I stole the idea from Ange', type of thing, but like, 'Ange makes me realize how lazy I've been with my talent that I've been blessed with and I should get back to that at some point before I realize how much talent I've wasted writing papers for teachers who don't give a fudge' type of thing.
6. I am not a hijabi yet. That's my fault. End of story. Will I explain? No.
7. Good night. I will post soon. maybe with paragraphs. maybe with pictures. who knows

Salaams and stay snuggly.

Love,

Dedra

TA-DA!!!

I hope you enjoy the new template! A friend of mine decided to take a look at my blog and I hadn't updated since 2009 I think and I felt all bad because I had been neglecting my blog and my readers and what not, but I figured that I'll change the template before posting so my creative juices can start flowing. I dont know what that lil pink thang is but I thought Mr. Pink Guy was cute, so I went for this. Enjoy!

Insha'allah, I'll be posting soon, but no promises.

I'm very tired.

Sleep.

Whats a girl to do?

What does a Muslim convert do Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

GO TO THE MOVIES!!!!

I'm Feeling Lazy, It's November now, and blah blah blah poop

The title should say it all. Right now, its 8:16am and I woke up at 7:30am - which is quite early for me - so I could get ready for work and actually be on time. *sigh* I want to go back to bed. I didn't trick-or-treat on Saturday, so my lack of free candy and possible change kind of has me cranky. I want some effing skittles and chocolate.... hmph.

I got zero work done this weekend, BUT I kinda caught up on some sleep alhumdulilah, but sleep doesn't do your Astronomy quizzes for you (it totally should though). Its effing November and wallah, my mind still thinks its July<<<>

I'm actually very hapyy, but I can't express it via words or facial expressions or voice inflections or exclamation points. why? Because I'm lazy and its cold. yea, that's it.

I feel completely non-excited about school/major and I want to change it and when I voiced that to father dearest, it was like I told him I was marrying an ex-convict.

BUT SERIOUSLY... there are some very very very happy things going on!

1. MY GOD-DAUGHTER/NEICE WAS BORN ON THE 21ST EARLY IN THE MORNING! AND SHE'S THE CUTEST BABY IN THE WORLD! AND SHE'S GOING TO BE A BABY MODEL FOR GAP BECAUSE I SAID SO AND BECAUSE SHE'S THAAAAAAAAAT CUTE!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY! only thing is I tend to have nightmares of dropping newborns because they are so fragile and you have to hold them appropriately. So, I tend to freak out a lil... just a little. *awkward*

2. A FRIEND OF MINE TOOK HIS SHAHADA ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!! W000000000000000T!!!!!! I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR HIM AND I KNOW HE HAS A TON OF QUESTIONS!!!!! ITS SO EXCITING AND HE'S EXCITED AND YAY! MASHA'ALLAH!!!

So, yea, this post makes negative sense, but I still hope yall drinking the orange juice.... i know someone's daughter who just got the "swine" flu... I'm not saying go get the vaccine, but ummm don't be disgusting out here either.

Love,

Dedra

P.S. I missed you blog.

I do still love you!

So, clearly I haven't been blogging as much. I've been really busy with work... not so much school :( which has been really frustrating me. NOW, I'm starting to feel ill and I'm not very pleased about that because there's so much for me to do!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I plan on blogging a little bit more regularly in a couple weeks, insha'allah.

DEDRA'S ADVICE OF THE DAY:

Drink some damn orange juice. Too many germs flying around. I don't want my precious readers to get sick. Take some vitamins or something. Stay healthy. The flu is on a rampage!!!!

SALAAMZZZ!!!!!!!

YES I'm still alive and NO I haven't been abducted by creepy old folgies

Hello, readers!

I hope all of you are doing well! Its been I'm not exactly how long since I've posted anything without very large angry words so lol I'm here to let you know I'm alive and kicking alhumdulilah. I've been having a very poopy week and insha'allah it will get better? I don't know, whatever I hope so because I think I'm starting to loose my sanity.

Heres this week's events:

1. I puked 4, count that, 4 times this week! why? because I clearly thought I had an adult system and thought I could pull off take Tylenol extra strength when I can't take anything over 250mg anyway! lol yeaaaa it was pretty sick... lol I was at work sweating and shivering and poopin' and pukin'!! lol {this should totally be an ad to get married right?}

2. I effing forgot about an astronomy quiz that was due on this past Saturday! totally discovered that this morning along with discovering that I have 2 quizzes and an exam due as well... yeaaa online classes can kiss my happy black ass, okay? okay.

3. BABY SHOWER THIS WEEKEND!!! YAY! So, I had bought all of these super cute baby clothes until I realized people were getting things off of the registry, soooo yeaa took then back and Friday I'll go to Target and find some AWESOME! and super adorable... :) yay! a lil cutie!

So, there's an update on my happy lil life (totally not sarcastic here), insha'allah I'll be posting a few more times within the next 70 - ish hours so, enjoy today because you never know-- you could be poopin and pukin and yelling in pain at work, embarrassing yourself in front of patients!! lol yall know that was funny! you can laugh, I'm alive so its all good!

Salaam!

My way of dealing with fasting this Ramadan [LOTS O PIX]

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW:

1. I'm in my mom's room. It looks like a teenager's room with all of the wretched pictures on the closet doors.

2. I'm not a niqabi nor a [full-time] hijabi [yet], I did this strictly for privacy. Some of you know who I am, some of you don't, but for those who don't or are "secret readers" you'll see my face when I'm ready to let you see my face! lol :) seriously.

3. If you remember, I said that because I LOOOVE snacking in the middle of the day, I found myself at the mall trying not to break fast. So, when I get bored, I do things like stimulate the economy. lol Just to clarify that I'm not materialistic or throwing these things in other women's faces. Plus, WHO DOESN'T LOVE ACCESSORIES!!?!? I obviously do... 

ON WITH THE SHOW!!!

The rings:

The shoes:

Yes, that is my eye showing through the shoe... I am a lame. 

I also got a super cute wristlet, but the stupid picture didn't want to cooperate. stupid technology! 

That's only a tad of the shopping adventure I had during Ramadan. lol I also bought this laptop I'm using now. But I totally needed it... I used to blog at work :) 

BUT THAT IS ALL! I'M SURE MORE EXCITING THINGS WILL BE POPPING UP! OH I WILL BE CONTINUING PRODUCT OF THE WEEK THIS WEEK!!! 

YIPEE YAY!!!!

SALAAMZ YALL!
