I just don't know..
There is an option on blogger to "email" your posts to your blog. So all you have to do is open a blank e-mail page, insert your blogs email address, write the post and when your done click send. Usually I'll do this instead of logging into the blogger website-its easier and I'm not too fond of blogger.com. Today I decided to post through the blogger site, this was about 45 minutes ago.
When I logged into my account it displayed all of my blogs for me, some of which I had almost forgotten about. I went through a couple of them reading both the published and unpublished posts. It was like a rush of memories. It reminded me of when I was unpacking my room. It took me almost a week to unpack because, among other things, I would go through EVERYTHING before choosing where I wanted to place it..and everything had some sort of memory attached to it.
That reminds me, I have pictures of my room at different "stages" that I'm not sure if I want to post or not. Untill today I haven't totally finished organizing it. There are a lot of reasons why, but the end result is that it needs a little more work..inshaAllah soon. For now I'll stick to writting papers and eating chocolate :D. I replenished my supply of chocolate yesterday.. let me tell ya'll the story!
Yesterday was the "womens", i.e. auntie's and khala's, Eid party/get-together.
Actually before I go on let me complain about how unfair it is. The kids, the women, the guys, the men, they all have there Eid things going on but the teen girls are always left in the dark! And its been like this for YEARS.. ahh khair.. so back to my story.
While the women were out in the activity room area having some sort of Fiqh Quiz I was chilling with a couple of girls in the musalaah. My mom comes and is like "do you want to run to the store and buy drinks? It doesnt look like there are any". I wasn't really "feeling" the whole party and was happy to be granted the chance to leave. While I was in the store I happened to pass by the candy aisle and figured "hey! why not?".
When I got back to the Masjid I took the things to "our corner" (the back of the musalah and went out to see what the girls were stairing in awe at, lets just say I was beyond surprised. This one auntie, khala Summayyah, had organized "games" for the moms to play..she had them playing catch with water balloons and balancing baskets on their heads, I kid you not! After one particularly "heated" match of "balance the basket on your head and transfer as many of the balls as you can to the other side of the room" between khala Aisha and Maysa's mom (both pali's, go figure!) it got really intense and almost resulted into a, "lets take it outside", type of fight, with Maysa's mom leading the way.
After watching this take place for a while all of us "party poopers" who refused to participate decided that we had seen enough and that it was time to go chillax. Lets just say all the junk food came in really handy while we tried to overcome the shock that we had just sustained. I'm not saying I'm against the parents having fun, no by all means, its just that.. uhh nevermind. I think I'll just stick to making cotton candy for the kids with a garbage bag over my abayah :P.
But dude, like seriously all jokes aside, I just haven't been feeling it this Eid. I mean we've done some ok fun stuff but I'm not so sure I've enjoyed myself much. Like I said before, on the first day I stayed (and skipped class :P) to help out with the kids party thing till about dhuhr and had a pretty good evening-minus the wind storm. The second day of Eid we had guests coming over for dinner so I was busying cooking with my mom till around 3 when I had to go to school.. I spent 4 hours at school and ended up coming back with all the guests still here! I babysat untill 11 and then cleaned and slept. Thursday we had guests over again for a while and the net came in so I was busy with that and ya, I just said how Friday was. We might go up to portland on Sunday for some thing they're having but I don't even feel up to doing that! I guess khala Summayyah was right, I am a party pooper :P. Oh ya, I was invited to a party today but I'm not going couse its one of them music filled parties..
Ok, I guess thats enough of me and my random rants and topic jumps. Make duaa that I finish all this stuff before tommorrow :(. I miss taking pictures, I need to charge my batteries.
