Drug

Munni — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:05:49 GMT

Celebrity/fame can act like a drug. It can make one high. Scary.

Advil

Munni — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:52:15 GMT

I had chocolate last night and I stayed up THE WHOLE NIGHT. Gahhhh.

The delivery people came at around 10:30 AM, and I think thats part of the reason I didnt seem to thrilled at that time. Due to lack of sleep.

I just woke up about an hour ago. Ridiculous. Now I have a slight...headache I guess.

Took some Advil.

I have taken 30 Advils in two months. Notttttt gooooooodddd.

I am going to count how many I take in a given time period to see if I am abusing Advil.

Ciao bella's.

Stampede

Munni — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:25:33 GMT

It's strange how sometimes you want certain things to happen and nothing really happens. Then when you start thinking okay well it looks like nothing is going to happen, then you get stampeded with a bunch of things that start happening. haha. Gotta love it.

Thank you Allah. May it all work out, Amin.

Improvement

Munni — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:08:44 GMT

I feel bad sometimes that I waste so much time. I'm like a kid in some ways. I come across one little interesting thing that captures my attention and then my focus totally shifts from something that I should be doing to something that is frivolous. The worst part is that I know I should be doing something else but I continue doing the frivolous activity despite it. Ugghhh. Really need to get a hold of myself and focus.

Sometimes I question whether I am in the right field or not. I have spoken to some people who have graduated and are doing something similar to what I want to do once I graduate and lets just say that some of them are really struggling. It's difficult to note. I dont want to be that person that gradutes and then thinks she probably should have chosen another field. I am incredibly lazy at times, I wonder why I chose a profession that will require me to be anything but lazy. Gahhh. However, I do like the field I have chosen, so I am thankful to Allah for that.

There are just so many things that I need to work on with myself. I wonder if I will ever accomplish those goals. I say so much but dont do that much. I want to be able to handle things like an adult. I need to take more responsibility. I need to stop thinking I can take my time and do things when I want to get them done rather then when they need to be done by. I need to stop saying things to my parents like, "Yeah, I dont have to clean my own place when I get one, I will get a maid in the future." Or things like, "I wont need to cook, I will just hire a chef." Even if I do end up getting a maid and a chef I need to stop saying I will and just think, "Yeah, I can cook and clean my own place, no problem." Otherwise they might think I am a lazy beast and worry about what my future holds for me.

I think I need to start by trying to pray regularly. I keep saying this over and over again and it doesnt happen. I think I will also start cooking regularly. One of the reasons (out of several) that I dont is because when I do cook, I feel my family will want me to cook more often. Then I get lazy when I feel its more of an obligation. I need to change this thinking of mine. I need to be more creative in my cooking as well.

Tomorrow or rather later today, I am making karhai gosht. It's been awhile, I hope it turns out okay.

I have to believe that I can improve. Insha'Allah.

Recitation

I'd love to be so involved and passionate about my prayers and recitation one day, Insha'Allah.

Jogging in-place

Munni — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:41:47 GMT

Has anyone ever done this to lose weight? I was reading about it and apparently it burns quite a few calories if done right.

I am going to try it since we still havent bought a treadmill yet. *smack*

Thanks.

IQ

Munni — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:23:10 GMT

Intelligence Quotient is a general estimate of the functional capacities of a person.

70% is considered inherited.

Recent studies suggest that it is mostly inherited from the mother.

Alcohol

It is the most abused drug for all ages.

Cool Concept Car

Iftar

Munni — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 05:38:09 GMT

Tonight I asked bhai what he wanted to do for Iftar because my family was invited to an Iftar dinner at one of the neighbors place. He mentioned that we might go to a restaurant in Detroit instead because there was apparently a free Iftar there. Detroit is really far from us but bhai decided he was willing to make the drive for the Iftar since he liked the food at that restaurant.

We drove there and then ordered some additional food to take home with us, apart from the Iftar food. There was a somewhat lavish buffet and I asked bhai to ask if it the ifter was really free. I was finding it hard to believe but bhai said it was so we went up and got the food. I got the lamb with rice, some salad, hummus and one or two other items. It was nice.

Then bhai got the bill since he is the one who had made the orders for the take away food. Ammi looked at his face and got worried and asked him, "How much?" The bill was HUGE. They charged for the iftari dinner. I just shook my head because I had told bhai to ask them ahead of time. My parents offered to pay for half of it but bhai said he'll just suck it up and pay the whole bill. During the car ride home he was complaining about the bill and we were all cracking up because the way he was complaining was just sooo funny.

Then I hiccuped really loud and everyone started laughing.

We then went to a famous arab dessert place and we all had ice cream. Bhai said he wanted to drown his sorrow in some dessert. I had vanilla ice cream. *sigh*

When we got home we realized that the dish Ammi ordered was not included. *smack*

It's soooo hardddddd to keep control of your diet when you are eating out.

This week my family is going on vacation and I will be home alone for a few days. Tres boring. I dont know what I am going to do to keep myself entertained.

Cost of raising kids

Munni — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:27:34 GMT

Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report said. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000 through age 17.

Most single-parent households in the U.S. make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report.

Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas.

That is seriouslyyyyy a lot of money. I dunno how people do it. Should we start saving money for kids before even having them?

Life1

Munni — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:23:20 GMT

After reading Life1, I sometimes seriously think that I should never ever ever ever ever think about getting married ever.

A few minutes after reading some of the threads there I just wonder, are most married people ever really truly happy with eachother?
