Life is Yummy Good

V(e)ntage of an aspiring woman and wife. The mother in me speaks on Eesa's blog. The activist, feminist and student in me speaks at Unshackled. This is the blog where I put all the different facets of my life together; to realize and appreciate God, Marriage, Relationships, Love and Life.

*Flash*

Flash news: According to this, the weather in Toronto is officially warmer than the weather in Karachi. How? It beats me!! but thank God the ac is finally working!

Imo0o's back! :) ofcourse, I'm back on Cloud 9 again. No I'm not the clingy type of wife but I hate living without him. I've come to the conclusion that smsing back and forth isnt as much fun as walking, talking, dining and hanging out together. As much as I miss the pre-wedding flirty fun, I love the post wedding charm even more.



Well here's another reason why im super chirpy! A kodak digicam has found itself a very hot new owner -> ME! Our old cam was the back in the day type who needed additional pieces for the mic and was only 2mega pixels. we were looking for a video camera to help record Eesa's memories but Imran's uncle (a photographer by profession) recommended against the latest DVD video cams. As luck would have it, Imran dropped our old one in Nova Scotia and bought us this shiny, sparkly, dazzly new toy ! Not only is it 6.1 mega pixels, it records videos like a vid cam! I'm in love!

I'm proud to announce that the wallpapers are officially gone from my inlaws' place and infact, the living room has been brightened up with a bright yellow coat of paint. The process of selecting a colour and making three generations agree to one colour would take up an entire entry, so i'll spare u guys the trauma. The paint colour has been vetoed again and will probably be coated with another colour, but I had to get the place ready in time for Maryam's shower this Saturday so I stood my ground firmly and went ahead and painted the entire room bright- pale yellow. (You guys would have to wait up for the more details abt maryam's shower thO!)

Oh! dare i forget to mention! the family room colour has finally been decided upon as well. the electrician has come and left, so no more ugly mismatched lamps. welcome ceiling fan with lights! the firewall bricks will be covered with a dry walll and a fresh coat of paint to give it a new lookinshaAllah. the hideous wood panels wood be painted slate grey and walls a really light grey to give the room a new and updated look - and ofcourse to match that jumbo silver tv in that room! can i re-emphasize how much i hate wallpapers? im voluntarily recruiting myself to anyone who wishes to give their wallpapers a new home in the garbage! :D

im very proud of my accomplishments at my inlaw's place. the previous owners had HORRIBLE taste. the man used to love golfing so everything is green! my mother in law's room is the next project that maryam and i are itching to tackle inshaAllah. it has horrendous green carpets with ugly great grandma style floral wallpapers - something sure to make u go dizzy! as if tht wasnt enough, our old room in the basement had a huge wall to wall mural of a golf course. it was an itch to the eye - to say the least =P The house is looking much less dated alhamdolillah. the paint has brightened up the place and makes the area look less gloomy.

on Eesa's front, he's start saying 'ehmoh' for elmo! its soooooooooooo adorable!!! he saw elmo on his diaper and rushed to show it to his Baba today! He is now also saying alot of funny random words. i'm definitely enjoying it! he's been tanning up alot, thnx to the combo of heat and swimming!

i guess thats it! it's getting dark outside, gotta pray and dip into the pool! *muahaha!* ayesh, and aasi, if u wanna share the joy, u gotta come over:D

    i totally know what you mean, im not clingy either, but if ummie is away its just not the same!! i love the camera!! if you wanna get rid of your mil's carpet put in laminate or wood flooring, my dad just re-did our whole house with it - ALL THE CARPET IS GONE (except in the upstairs hallway and stairs where they replaced it with better carpet) and all the rooms have laminate - it looks really great and elegant
