My life in points

1) Getting ready for Blogher – slightly nervous – please send me some good vibes so I do not totally suck!!

2) I read a novel for the first time in about 10 years! Like an actual novel with no pictures and hundreds of pages… I was shocked that I actually managed to finish it in 3 days, as opposed to the last book that I attempted to read, which has pictures, and I still haven’t even gotten half way, even though it’s been about 6 months!

3) I have tremendously ugly feet! Seriously. I feel you should know that. They are so ugly that my sister “lovingly” refer to them as shrek feet! BUT, let me say, that regardless of the appalling nature of my feet, my 4 year old remains unphased (is this a word??) by them, and still prefers to forsake the “prettier” feet of my mom or sister to stroke and caress mine! I love that he plays with my feet – it feels awesome – however, yes, it is slightly disturbing that my 4 year old has a foot fetish!

4) Kickboxing totally rocks!! I am really loving it. Although, my knees feel like they are slowly dying, and I look quite uncoordinated and awkward when I’m in a class with a lot of seasoned (and slimmer) kickboxing gals, but you know, it’s all good! It still rocks! Thanks iMuslim!!

5) I feel like I need a new bag – any ideas? I don’t really buy bags all that often, but it may be the one thing that I buy the most, and every time that I buy a new bag my 5 year old always asks me why I needed a new one and then tells me that I should not buy so many bags – he’s probably right!

What’s going on in your life these days?

Thoughts from Dahlia

Hmmm, a bag, huh?  Well I guess it depends on the type of bag you are looking for: a small purse (with three kids, you are probably saying “hah!” right now), a casual tote, a business tote? 

I like to go to target and explore, because their bags are cheaper than regular stores, but they are so cute - and even if you end up not liking any of them, you can get an idea of what you are looking for!

Oh, and don’t worry about the 5 year old, I bet he never has enough cars, trucks, robots, action figures, etc!

Thoughts from Cynthia

Sending you lots of positive vibes. I know that you will do well at BlogHer.

I love the header!

There’s much to be done on my end but these days I am so tired. Continuing to workout, not so much with an aim to lose weight but to stay healthy. Some days I am more enthusiastic than others.

College is closed until the end of August, so at least I don’t have to think about that kind of work for a while.

Thoughts from Achelois

Foot fetish - haha!

Thoughts from koonj

"unfazed” (from the persnickety language-fanatic). Thinking of you much.

Thoughts from shaz

Dalia - sadly, we do not have target here in canada… yes, i know, we are deprived. i would really like any type - as it’s not something i “need”, just want!

Cynthia, my dear friend, thank you! I hope that you enjoy your time off! I was going to say that at least it’s summer, but then I remembered that you’re in Barbados! I still have to answer your WordPress question, but I’ll say that since your blog is so popular, if you do decide to go onto your own host, I am sure your traffic will really increase.

Achelois - i knew you would appreciate that!!! hahah

koonj - thank you dear - i knew you would know that i was using it wrong!

Thoughts from iMuslim

My feet are also terrible… tbh, I don’t think KB will help our feet become more beautiful!

I haven’t been KB in weeks… I quit my old class, and wanted to start a new one. The first time I went to the new place that week had been cancelled, and then I have been too busy every since. Insha’Allah, this weekend!

Thoughts from Nelly Trovao

REALLY, how would you know??????????

Thoughts from shaz

iMuslim - tell me about it! my feet are getting mucho uglier thanks to kickboxing! still, i love it.

Nelly - hahahah… dude! i sooo go to class, its not my fault that you like to take the dumb-ass sunday class instead of the much more fun Friday and Saturday class… you know, with the punching bags and killer kicks!!!

Thoughts from Nelly Trovao

Oh my gosh you just made me laugh, ahahahhah

I love that class don’t knock it I’m going to have killer abs by the time I’m 99

ok about your feet I’m going to have to check out the shrek feet next time I see you
