Officially on vacation

I am on 3 weeks vacation, starting tomorrow!!

We are going to be on a very long road trip, and then we will be vacationing at a place that does not have internet access! How will we ever survive?? More importantly, what would the mousehunter do with all this free time?

Don’t worry, the experiement will not stop… I will be doing the “travel edition”, one condensed version at the end of the week (I am assuming there are internet cafes close to the place we are going to be staying). And I will try to update my flickr stream with photos of the kids.

Whilst I am gone, I am turning my forum over to you, my wonderful readers… yes, even you shy ones at the back… what would you like to know about me? Or what would you like to know about Islam, Trinidad, Canada, Web Development, Motherhood, the ‘real’ Mousehunter? Would you like my input on any webby/techie/blog-type issues?

I am going to moderate comments, so, if you do not want me to make it public, just say.

So… because I have a mere 19 known readers, I am going to expect at least 19 questions… Crunchy, Maliha, Cakes, Mona, Mokey, and Suroor… don’t let me down!

Ok my friends, see ya next week, I’ll miss you all!!

Thoughts from Suroor

Have a LOVELY holiday dear! I’ll keep flooding your blog comments

Be good and miss me!

Thoughts from Surviving

I’m going to miss reading your blog for the next 3 weeks.  I really hope you have a good time on your vacation!!!

Thoughts from shaz

haha suroor. thanks!

aww, thanks surviving!

Thoughts from Um Ibrahim

Have a good one, don’t think about the comments so much, bcs u have nothing to worry;)

Thoughts from shaz

thanks Um Ibrahim! actually, I really am opening it up for questions, it’s not a plot to just get comments. haha

I saw something similar on one of those “what to do when you have bloggers block” posts, and I thought it was a good time to do it! lol

Thoughts from Cakes

I don’t feel like you consulted us on this whole vacation thing.  Don’t we deserve input?  I mean I probably would have voted to let you have vacation, but maybe only a week and a half…ok ok two weeks.

You have no idea what you are getting yourself in for asking me for questions.  My grandfather used to call me The Elephant’s Child because of my ‘satiable curiosity.

Thoughts from shaz

hahaha Cakes, I know! I was very sneaky
I love curiousity!!

I had a thought… I’ll take photos on my phone and email it to my flickr and you can guess where I’m going??

Thoughts from Maliha

Salamaat,
Enjoy your vacation Shaz! Don’t think of the blog, web development, nothing out here in the “virtual” world. Focus on bonding w/your kids, your husband and having a blast! it’s an order

Take care of you

Thoughts from Tasmiya

Have a wonderful time. Eat lots and relax!

Thoughts from shaz

salaams maliha and tasmiya, thanks! I will try to bond… if I must… and I’ll try to have a good time without my precious blog. and tasmiya… eat lots?? oh, how i wish i could!

Thoughts from koonj

i’m with maliha!

Thoughts from Mona UmIbrahim

Salams Shazia, a vacation.. how nice InshaAllah it will go well. Can’t wait to hear about it. You deserve a break that’s for sure.

As for post suggestions – how about how the 3rd child affected the family dynamics and the first two kids. Jealosy of the 2nd for the 3rd? etc. And birth stories for the 3 would be interesting too.

Take care!

Thoughts from crunchy carpets

Lol…well once I get over you being away from the computer for three weeks…..hmmmm..what will I do if something goes wrong!!! GULP!

Yeah I want to know what life is like in Trinidad.  It is a place I really know nothing about.

share childhood stories!

Oh and yeah, like Mona said….what is third child dynamics like?
How do you handle all the cuddles and hands needed!

How do you and the mighty mousehunter divy up duties and help each other out?

And have a great time…you will be missed.

Thoughts from Nowal

Do keep updating the photos =)

Thoughts from Irene

have a most wonderful time Shaz!!!

Thoughts from Cakes

ok. my first question…ok or two

Why can’t they make graham cracker packages that can actually be opened using two hands and no sharp implements? 

and to follow that up…Why can’t they make a graham cracker package that you don’t have to then throw away and put remaining graham crackers in ziploc baggies?

Thoughts from shaz

thanks for the well wishing all!

cakes… it’s all very sad… and I don’t have the answers. actually, I have never even bought graham crackers, so I can’t even empathize with you. :(
are they good?

Thoughts from Cakes

hmmm…this question asking isn’t going well. 

ok, my first “none of your business” question: It makes me sad that you have to be so far from your family.  Why did you leave Trinidad?

and to follow that up? Dh wants to know if Trinidad and Tobago are big rivals or if you are pretty well combined?

and hey. aren’t you supposed to be away from the computer? And why am I the only one asking questions?

there. that oughta hold ya’

Thoughts from mokey

okay…i know you’ll enjoy your vacation….have fun…you deserve it…

Thoughts from mokey
