Birthdays, iMacs, and the end of Ramadan

Hi!
No, I didn’t forget that I had a blog! I have just been so overcome with ‘real’ life, that I haven’t had the urge to blog, and also I was happy to keep the post about awareness always and the contest on the homepage for the week. I hope that everyone is being more aware!

My first born is now officially 5! Yay! I missed doing an officially 5 post for him, sadly. I guess that’s ok because he has become almost unbearably mean to his brothers, now that he has official “big boy” status!

In other, most joyous news, yes, almost more joyous that the momentous occasion of my first born turning 5, I finally got myself a Mac.

Now, I am a designer and as such, working on a “windose”, as the Macophiles like to call it, machine was my secret shame. So far the Mac has certainly lived up to it’s reputation!

What I did not realize was that it would be soooo cool, and fun! I would seriously recommend the switch to anyone! My kids had much fun using the built in camera and apple’s Photo Booth software.

It’s the last few days of Ramadan and we are trying to get in some extra prayer and meditation.

Eid is the celebration that comes at the end of the month of Ramadan and is celebrated much like Christmas, with family, friends, food and festivities, and this year I thought that I would share my celebrations with you. So, I am going to be video blogging our Eid live! Well, delayed live, at least. Look out for my updates throughout the day on either Friday or Saturday. See you then!
