My Apologies
Dear sisters
I am very sorry I haven't been posting for so long. It's just that, with Ramadan and everything, I've been a little busy..................or maybe a bit lazy.
But please forgive me. I'll try to get back after Ramadan inshaAllah.

Daily Account
Today went fairly well alhamduliAllah. We (as in me, my sisters and my father) went to Kohles. They had a very good sale going on mashaAllah. On most of the clothes, they had, like 60%-70% off and stuff like that. And they had not tax!! Also, if you spent $50, you would get a free gift card with $10!!! I bought a cute lunch box and a really nice water bottle. Last year, i put water and froze it, and it cracked. I thought that, because it was stainless steal, nothing would happen. But, I was proved wrong.
So this year inshaAllah, I shall do nothing crazy like that. I really want to post the pics, but I am too lazy to go downstairs, get the camera, download the pics and then post them. I could take it with the camera on the computer, but it won't turn out good. I promise that tomorrow inshaAllah, I'll post pics.
Today I wore my pink/purple skirt. My aunt bought it from Malaysia in an Indian flee market. I wore my pink think kamis on top. And a purple hijab. Plus a silver ring and heart bracelet.
I am very tired now, so I shall retire to my book.
My salaams to you all!!!

Ramadan Day 6
I'm sorry I didn't post for two days. I was just so tired. And I had pains. Well, there's really not much to say. Except, yesterday, instead of coming home after iftaar, my sisters and I stayed at the "babysitters." We don't usually stay, as my father is pretty protective and he thought it woulf be bad for me to be here "all alone". I don't mind it much, I know that it's his way of caring for me, except sometimes I REALLY want to do something and then I can't do it. Well, yesterday, I did some old fashioned begging. I a very sad tale indeed, and in the end, I was about to cry. I didn't stray from the truth though. In the end, he gave in and let us stay. I gave a big bear hug, a huge kiss on his cheek, and a beautiful, "JAZAKALLAHU KHAIRAN BABA!!!"
So, we stayed at the "babysitters". It was actually where the children that were too old for toys but too young to play basket ball with the big boys (who surprisingly did not pray taraweeh. I was shocked I tell you. SHOCKED. I mean, I know the kids in our majid don't practice Islam perfectly, but, this was just too much for me. Me, I had girl reasons. Them, ummm, I don't think there's anything that stops boys from praying. Especially if it's about 15-20 boys.)
So, at the "babysitters", there was a lady, who turned on The Lion King for us. I hadn't watched that movie for years, so I enjoyed it. My heart ached for poor little Simba when his father died. It was sssooo touching. There were actually tears in my eyes. I know, it's just a movie, but, I saw it with fresh eyes, and I felt myself in his place. It's ssssooo sad.
When the movie was almost done, Baba came to take us home. As usual, one of my sisters started crying. My father just picked her up, comforted her a bit, and she was done. Then we came home.
Oh yes, I wore my pink paisley hijab and black abaya. They went pretty well together. But my hijab was annoying me a bit.
Today we went to the library. I gots me LOTS of books. then we came home and went to Ross. we went there to look for a lunch box, but didn't find one. Instead, I got a pretty laptop bag. I take my laptop to school often, and I don't really need one of those professional ones. (personally, I think they look horrible). So, i found a very nice maroon one. It looked very sophisticated. And I took it. I'll post a pic later.
Baba didn't feel good today, so we didn't go to iftaar. I was pretty disappointed, but, AlhamduliAllah.
