Its been mashallah 10 days since lil Zoey joined us. I have been having sleepless nights, painful stitches, endless rounds of going to the kitchen and using the sterilizer, having given up eating green chillies with lunch and dinner, not being allowed to go out of the house unnecessarily, missing my home and room, spending random time with hubby, having guests pouring in….and quite a few other things. But even then it hasnt hit me that this lil thumbelina is “ours”.
I am loving having her. But for the moment it just seems like someone has given me a new toy to enjoy. No after going through all of the above I dont think I am in denial….its just that its surreal for the moment.
18th March, 2009…we had an unexpected early guest in our family of two…..Not knowing what to expect this early arrival, both the kat and kitten are trying to get used to each other.
There is LOTS more to blog about…..later!
For everyone who reads this please remember us in prayers….
Every now & then we all have our very own set of realizations…..being the free lady that I am these days, I have realized quite a few things lately:
~ Every now and then it is important to take time out for your own self.
~ At times “letting go “is the best thing you can do when in a relationship.
~ Its the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life more interesting.
~ Thank God for parents, hubby, sisters, sunflowers, rain, chocolates, tea, friends and books. Life would be so incomplete without them all.
~ When you are in love-consciously or unconsciously, it actually shows.
~ A good blowdry & a clear skin can do wonders for self confidence.
~ As much as advancement has taken photography to greater levels, nothing can beat the essence of a black and white photograph.
~ Thank God for relatives…otherwise who would you bitch about?
~ No matter how fast paced the world becomes, nothing can beat the value of snail mail!
~ Having breakfast with the right kind of people means your day is going to go well.
~ Sisters? Blessings in disguise! Cant live with them, cant live without them!
~ Male friends? The only species who can help you think rationally.
~ There is nothing known as having enough travel trips.
~ To be or not to be is a never ending dilemma.
~ There is nothing more comfortable than curling up in bed with a good book!
~ Good company, good coffee & good environment are the only things that you actually need to lift your spirits.
~ No matter how hard I try its impossible to cross off everything on the TO-DO list at the first go.
~ Its one of the happiest moments when you go to a school reunion & look happier, younger & better than your old boyfriend.
~ I know that life will never give me more than what I can handle. If it seems so, its just trying to make me see how much more I truly am capable off!!!
~ At the end of the day, life is beautiful…we just dont tend to realise it!
one minute i am so excited….i just dont know what to do……the second minute i get so petrified….i amaze myself.
This tag has been circulating on facebook for a while now….a little late but here are 25 randomings defining me….
1~ Till before my shaadi, everynight I would open my cupboard, take out a piece of jewellery that would hold my fancy and wear it to bed.
2~ I really really aim to be a part of “The amazing Race” one day inshallah.
3~ I have saved all the sent and recieved sms’es from U man from the day I proposed till 4 months after the shaadi.
4~ I am a total tea person, though sometimes I wish the tea would smell like coffee.
5~ Since kindergarden my parents had to face the complain from my teachers that I was the most talkative student in class. In 6th grade as a punishment, my teachers made me sit next to this girl who was perpetually on mute mode. 2 weeks later her parents were called in by the teachers. The complain was that she was the second most talkative kid in class. Thats how I found my best friend.
6~ I can very very easily become friends with strangers. Striking conversations with random faces is something that I actually enjoy.
7~ Before leaving for Hajj in 2006, I left a letter for my best friend with another friend, to be delievered if I died there. To date I have that letter saved and everyday I think if I should give the letter to my best friend or not.
8~ I talk to myself…in my head alot.
9~ I cant dance or cook to save my life. I started taking singing lessons back in college but the ustad politely threw me out saying I should just participate in cricket matches and shout slogans there.
10~ People find it hard to believe that I am a scorpio….maybe in a lot of terms I am not one. But even though I forgive I am not the one to forget.
11~ Give me a book and I can stay awake the entire night….switch on a movie and hear me snoring in the first 15 mins.
12~ I have watched DDLJ 127 times and I have cried with the same passion in the end all those times.
13~ I cannot wear heels. For the mere fact that I feel very tall. On my valima, I was shoelessly greeting people and by the end of the function I had lost my shoes.
14~ I am a very very very light sleeper. Change of pillows, change of beds, hubby turning sides, all mean that I am lying wide awake….I really hope and pray to god that My kids dont inherit this from me.
15~ I think Allah Mian planned marriage in my life so I would know and realise the worth of my parents and siblings, I think I took them for granted before…
16~ Unlike the rest of my generation people and the generation younger, i am not a late night person at all.
17~ I dream of owning a pent house overlooking the golden gate bridge one day, inshallah.
18~ I absolutely do not like ketchup…extra, by the side type.
19~ I dream of getting a book published one day, which will make me rich and famous.
20~ Flying gives me a high. Once I am over with my immediate responsibilities, I want to learn how to fly.
21~ No matter how much I like a book, I just cant read it twice.
22~ Investments plans, gold, dollars are not exactly my cup of tea. I still save up my money in the “matti ki gullak” or “boogie” as we call it in punjabi.
23~ As much as I used to be anti marriage, I think by far it is the best thing that could have happened to me, alhumdulillah.
24~ I love surprises……even if its just a hug.
25~ I love driving – yes even in a city like Karachi!
