g'morning everyone.

Morning mena.

Mohamed-You have a handsome son, you are a wonderful father.

No hopefully, i will today. There is so much to do and just not enough time in a day.

Hi all and pass the coffee. I woke up at 6:30 to a bad dream and couldn't go back to sleep.

I hate when that happens! It basically ruins your whole day. Here, have some coffee....I need to sky outta here in a few.

Thanks for the coffee Nag. I shouldn't complain about the dream. I am lucky that my hubby was here to wake me and hold me. I hope it won't be long until all of you have that same thing. It really is a comfort to feel his arms around me.

Today is the nicest day we have had here in chicago thus far, and alas, I think im getting sick, i woke up with chills and sneezing...im gonna take a hot shower and see if i feel better...

Good morning!!! Happy Sunday morning to all... hope everyone is doing well today! Mohamed, your son is a doll... hes got the cutest little cheeks! Adam is going to put in some applications this morning then we are going to a park for Service with our Arabic Church family. Its a beautiful day... thank you Lord for today! Have a blessed day today! -Tam

Tamara...good luck with job hunting

Good morning everyone! Gotta get my attitude up and get busy today. Have a great Sunday with plenty of sunshine and happiness for everyone. Anyone going to watch the Indy 500 today?

there's a kitty 500 going on in my house, does that count?


Morning and happy Sunday all. Its actually cloudy and raining here for the first time in oh I cant remember when. Last Sunday it was a record breaking 103 so today is just lovely. Sitting here with a coffee and trying to decide what to do today. Yesterday Melinda's chocolate cake got me thinking and I found a recipe for a triple chocolate bundt cake. I was going to make it last night but got sidetracked so I think I'll have to do it today. mmm.. maybe I should start it right now


hey Kelly I love the new signature pics. look how big he is getting already!

and Mohammed, Amir really is a gorgeous little boy, he has the cutest big smile and dark curly hair

Good afternoon Everyone !!!! Kelley baby Zaid is so so cute!
Ohh about Amirs curls Mohamed wants to cut them I told him no not yet!!!!!

Thanks for the comments on zaid !!! Yes, he is getting Huge!!

Sara ...love the new pic of Ms Princess...Shes precious!!

Mornin MENA!! have a wonderful Sunday!

Awww, all these MENA babies! They are just sooo adorable!

I hope for this day, Morocco4ever. Keep us in your prayers, eh?

Ok u MENA'ers I stumbled upon this video today and laughed till I cried. I mean no ill will with it but the "translation" is just so funny that I had to share it. ENJOY



eta: I think this song is awesome and saw the original first. I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

well its not a MENA song anyway... but funny!!!!! haha you should post that in the south asia forum!

4 more full days. hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

I WANT TO RUN AWAY, I HATE MY LIFE.

amal you crack me up girl poop on my knee......

I am at work reasearching CR1 crap. I never learned about this stuff. Dang....Hurry up and wait is gonna be my motto for the next few months. Sure hope this summer flies by. So I send it to a Chicago lockbox then it goes to either WAC or VSC....if my original place would have been Nebraska,,,will it automatically go to WAC or is it a crapshoot and it can go either way,,,east or west?

Looks like WAC is going faster than VSC (used to be the other way around) I used to envy eastcoasters.

Jackie
whistling to poop on my knee *

I woke up a little late and already had my big cup of Nescafe this morning. When I go to Morocco, I always make sure to bring a big one home and if family goes over there, they get one for me and mail it to me. I love it. It's an uneventful Sunday. Whacky weather today. I think it's in the low 70's or high 60's. Last weekend was "summer" and this weekend is "spring". Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

Afternoon everyone!

Jess: I know you can hardly wait!
These MENA babies are SO sweet! I wanna pinch all those cheeks. LOL

I had a bad dream last night too, in it my kitty was bleeding and I couldn't find the wound. Well, this morning he snuck outside and now I can't find him. I hope nothing happens to him and he comes home when he is hungry.
Today is a bad day for me, it would have been my mom's 72nd birthday. We always celebrated mother's day, my birthday and her birthday today, made it one big cookout/birthday celebration. I am not doing much today, just puttering around the house.
Melissa, I'll be on later tonight if you want to chat. Maybe we can help each other stay sane.
Question: Is it common practice for a non muslim to change their name to an arabic name after saying Shadada? Just wondering.

To everyone else, Hope Good News befalls you this week!

Amal, I loved that interpretation of the song! I could so totally hear the same words as she sang. Wasn't she gorgeous? I wish I could dance like that, and had that hair and that face and that body and those............................tata's! LOL

No! You must not say that. Do you know how blessed you are that you woke up this morning and can speak, hear, walk,eat, and see? C'mon girl! Enjoy every minute of it. Force yourself if need be. Life is really too short for some, and see? it's getting better already!

Elhamdulillah, Thank god, Nagi! You r so right!! Big hugs Terrie....we are all blessed Able to do all Nagi said plus have internet/phones to talk to friends and vent when we feel overwhelmed and have family and friends (in person or internet) that love and care about us!

YAY Nawal!

terrie, i haven't been able to check other sites as i have been busy today. msg me i hope ur ok


the vid i posted, its Indian so I knew it wasn't MENA but I just had to share it!

You are so right... we are all very blessed to be alive. Its definitely hard to appreciate when things don't go the way we had hoped though! We're here for you, Terrie!

Sara - let me know about that cake:) Terrie - my thoughts and prayers are w/you and Nagi speaks wisely......I hope you are all enjoying the day...we were outside all day..finally finally we got some warm weather...played tag, croquet...and well just enjoyed the sun....take care everyone, Melinda

Sounds like a good day, Mel .

Happy Sunday afternoon to you all.

Mohamed your son is so adorable. Don't cut his hair just yet. He looks so cute with his hair like that.

Question: Mohamed you don't sleep in the crib with your son do you?

Terrie I hope things look up for you soon.


Melinda (and Nagi ) I made the cake and its pretty darn good. I may have to take a pic of it but I better hurry before the guys around here get at it!

Hey mohamed cute picture of AMIR!

Hey Nawal hope you had a beautiful day as well!

Hi Maureen! I hope you got some planting done today!

Hi MelindaandTarek!

Hi Charles!

Hi Jackie! Good luck with reading up on the CR-1 process.

Hi Ganja_Girl lovely Sunday pix!

Hi morocco4ever! remember to cover your butt when you sleep to avoid bad dreams.

Hi Kelly! Love the new baby sig. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hi Tamara! Sounds like a lovely day planned. Sending my best to Adam in his job hunt!

Hi JeanneVictoria! Lovely graphics! I didn't watch the Indy 500 but how was it?

Hi sara535! Mmm cake! I love you new baby siggy pix too!

Hi melinda! I agree don't cut those cute curls of Amirs!

Hi amal! Hillarious video! Thx for posting I needed a good laugh!

Hi sereia!

Hi jess! I bet you can't wait! I can't wait to see your rotating baby siggy pix! You're so close now!

Awe Terrie! Big hugs! This too shall pass.

Hi Badrs Love! Hope your Sunday got eventful or at least you enjoyed relaxing. I always enjoy your siggy pix.

Hi tammy sue kay! I am sorry about your mom still. Today is my Dad's birthday as well. Remember to cover your butt as well when you sleep so you don't have bad dreams either. And good question I've always wondered how some of these women got their muslim names?

Hi Xena-curious who the warriorprincess is?

Hi ahmkri! I see you down there.

I am just relaxing after dancing the night away! I had a blast last night. I also got to see my long time friends children this morning and her 3 yr old is so adorable I want to adopt her and take her home with me! I'll be gone next week M-F up at uncle tom's condo on the lake in McCall. You should all come visit me there and we can go swimming!

Swimmin on a lake sounds sooo ideal!! Lake Michigan still is waaay too cold tho, This is the first warm day chicago has seen this year...and thanks for the compliment...

i really don't have many friends here at home, none of which understand what i'm going thru. i'm alone in the majority of this, and this overwhelming depression is getting me sick.

hey you have us here!

Bored out of my mind. Just me and the kitty. I'm all hopped up on coffee. Don't feel like cleaning, no one to see the house anyway. Ibrahim came online for about 45 minutes today. He goes back to work tommorrow.

I was hanging out over in the CR1 forum, checking things out. It's not as bad as I thought.

Hope you all have a good Sunday night.
