Khalaaaas I’ve had it with some people, what part of me ignoring you don’t you get? Tayeb balash, what part of me telling you that I don’t want to talk to you don’t you get??

I just don’t get it, can people really be that “mlkal7een” I mean help me out here, when you tell someone that you really don’t like them, and just by hearing there voice you get 600 3afreet on you, having said that, you really don’t want to talk to them abadan, next thing you know, you see them around you like nothing happened, enno what kind of a “loo7 are you”?? Seriously.. The only thing I can think of is that “you don’t have any blood” as in “a 3endak dam”.

I’m not saying that just because I want to be mean, these people have caused enough trouble in my life in the past, thing that affected me for a long long time, and would love to forget about it, and just forget these people FOREVER!!!

You confront some of these people, you send hints to others, and you ignore others, bs mafi faydeh, elli ma 3endo dam ma ra7 y7es wala yefham, I’ve never been in this situation before, I really never said to anybody on earth that I hate them before, I never did, EVER, but some people actually got on my nerves to the point that o screamed it out loud in their face, because of what they did, yet they manage not to listen and continue to get on my nerves just by being around, and yes it’s that bad, them being round is the most annoying thing can ever happen to me!!!

Just get the hell out if my life .. and forever .. PLEASE!!!

Since I started this job, they told me I have to work Sundays, I take Friday off instead, and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, the day goes by SUPER SLOW, nobody is here except me and couple of guys from the lab.

I have to admit, I’m one of those who’d rather have a very busy day at work more that a slow day, because simply, the day goes by waaaaaaay faster, but this is like dying slowly, last Sunday I was about to sleep while setting, beside the fact that I annoyed the heck of Husbany by calling him ever 30 min complaining how bored I was, 7abeebi he is sooooooooo taweel bal.

back to my slow day. ::Sleepy::

Sometimes couples get so wrapped up planning the wedding; they forget about the actual marriage. Married life isn’t all cozy dinners and intimate times; it’s also a lot of compromise and communication. So how are we (and b we I mean newlyweds) Adjust to our new life?

Compromise.
The word sounds easy enough, but when it comes to all the routine parts in our lives we take for granted (and have been doing the same way for years), it can be easier said than done.

You may be a clean freak and he may think it’s fine to leave a week’s worth of dishes in the sink. Or you might crash at 10 p.m. while he’d rather stay up past midnight. Each of these living adjustments can initially seem like deal breakers, but if you’re married then you can’t bail so easily-you need to find some middle ground. That may mean you don’t blow up at him whenever there’s a dirty plate on the counter and she takes a nap in the evening so she can stay up with you, but whatever the solution, it should be something the two of you come up with together.

Money Matters.
Money can be a sensitive issue, and we all need to figure out how to handle our savings, debts, investments and incomes. For some a joint account works fine, but for others, keeping your money separate or having a joint and separate account can be the key to staying together. Ideally we should figure out what system would be best before getting married.

Another key to financial happiness is full disclosure. That means you can’t hide your massive credit card debt and he needs to own up to any spending sprees as well. Because even if your money is in separate accounts, you’re still a team and one person’s actions affect the other.

Your First Fight.
It doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as your first dance or first kiss, but the first major fight is bound to happen and is just as, if not more, important to your marriage, because it will set the tone for how you handle future conflicts.

“The problem that most married couples run into is that they say [what’s bothering them] when they’re angry. Never discuss serious issues in the heat of the moment, wait until later when everything’s fine and say ‘this is how I felt when that happened, If it gets so heated that everybody’s yelling, you have to make an agreement that the argument will stop because it’s just not doing anything for you.”

Nobody ever said marriage was easy, but we can all make the transition go much smoother if we’re willing to compromise. And to give us all a little perspective.

My mom gave me those advices before I got married to keep in mind: 

“[Your partner] stays the same and the relationship stays the same. Things you like about the person you like more, and things that bother you bother you more. If you go into the marriage thinking that will somehow be different, you put unnecessary pressure on the relationship,”

“There is no such thing as happily ever after. There’s good times and bad, but don’t expect to be happy all the time. People that expect to be happy all the time get disappointed a lot and get divorced early,”

I never knew that fall exists!!! You know how they used to tell us that there are 4 seasons, I never saw more than summer and winter really, but I tell you guys, this is for real, after all these years I saw fall LOL! What’s makes it more amazing, it’s right by my door, look at these pictures, it’s right by our house, that’s what we see when we open our eyes in the morning and look through tour lake view window, it’s just amazing :D 

the tree above this plant is RED!!! :D 

this is right by our window, isn’t it amazing!! 

 there is nothing like walking around in the morning with your cup of coffee around this area :)

هادة يا سادة يا كرام رحت أسلم على وحده اجت من السفر، كانت مسافره وقت ما أنا اجيت على سياتل، المخلوقة طلعت عامله عمليه هناك، فقلت لحالي يا بنت خلي عندك ذوق وروحي إنتي تعرفي عليها

 حكيت مع وحده من البنات إلي بعرفهم هون وطلبت منها انها تاخدني و نروح مشان أتعرف عليها و أهنيها  بالسلامة، قام شوووووو طلعت هديك الست عامله جمعت نسوان ولامه كل نسوان الحارة، و محسوبتكم طبعاً ما إلها على هادي الحركات بالمرة، قلت ماشي يلا مش غلط، بس طلعت غلط وستين غلط كماااان، يا خرابي على إلي صار

قعدوا البنات عفواً النسوان و عينك ما تشوف إلا النور،على قصص سخيفه، مين اشترت أغلى بلوزه، او إلي زنّنّنّت على زوجها لحد ما جبلها طقم الكنبايات أبو ال- ١٢٠٠٠ دولار لأنو كتير طالع موضة السنه، و أنا قاعده يا غافل الك الله، بستنى يحكووا اشي مفيد، أبداً!!

I’ve been away from blogging since I got married, I even considered closing this blog down, I mean I barely have time now, and the few times that I wrote or left comments made me feel a bit guilty, I was thinking in my head “I should get up and do something more useful around the house, I felt like saying so many things here as I used to, but privacy was my biggest challenge, as everybody knows, this blog is a personal space for me, I don’t write about sports, politics, or religion, more than 3 years now, and this is the first time that I really feel like I can’t write.

Ramadan was hard, but Eid will Wednesday I guess, so Kol 3am O Ento b 5ear ya rab, may god bless you all this Eid and always, I have mixed emotions as Eid is at the door, I mean, I’m so excited cuz this is the first Eid for me and husbandy as married couple, and things has been going great el 7amdolla, with his new job, and a lot of other good things (Qol A3ootho B Rab EL Falaq), and on the other hand, I’m gonna miss being with my family so much, we were suppose to spend this Eid with my family in LA, but due to our schedule, we had to rearrange for El Eid El Kbeer.

Two days ago was the first time I chat with my mom online ( we usually call each other every day), I decided to turn on my web cam, it was so much fun, I took her for a tour in the house, I showed her everything, she got so excited, and commented “Mashalla 3aleaki m3adalleh, beatek ndeef :) ”

back to what I was saying, I want to blog about so many things really, I feel like I can write until tomorrow, but for some reason, it’s not as easy anymore, I mean I love blogging, I love reading other people’s blogs, I made soooooooooo many friend through this blog, I even met my husband through this blog, I will be back to my regular blogging soon, very soon, as for now, Happy Eid everyone.

P.S: we are having Koosa O Dawali to day for Iftar, I will post pictures as soon as I finish cokking :)

I knoooooooooooooooooooow, I’ve been away for soooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!!! I wonder if people forgot about me or not!! But I’ve been extremely busy , honestly since I started my new job I don’t have to do anything, I miss being bored at work, I miss reading blogs on my break time, it totally different, I seriously don’t have time to do anything.

Don’t get me wrong, I miss the blogs so much, I miss writing on my own blog the most, bs this is kinda cool, being super busy like that is extremely nice,  I know it sounds crazy, but I’m always running out of time to do things, if the day will be 50 hours instead of 24 I will still be running out if time !! :D

But here is some great news :) .. I had the best month in my whole life!!! I mean work wise it’s hard cuz I’m still adjusting, but on the personal side.. it’s been amazing el hamdulla.. I had the best birthday ever!!! :D I mean seriously the best ever..  I didn’t a party or anything, but the people around me were the best thing can happen to anybody on this earth, I was celebrating for 4 days instead of one :D .. I mean the whole weekend was great, don’t you guys love long weekends?? I want every weekend to be memorial weekend :D .. it’s just amazing :D

I truly apologize for not reading or commenting lately, I’ll try to be as active as I was .. I mean I miss every body, it’s weird how you miss people that you never met in your life, but I do :)

One last thing… Nido gave birth to the cutest girl ever :D … I was hoping that she will give birth on my birthday but she did 2 days ago .. 7amdella 3ala el salameh Nido :) tetrabba b 3ezek o 3ez abooha ya rab :D

I honestly don’t know where I’m supposed to start! This page has been up for more than 30 minutes now, totally blank, I have so many things in mind about this event, Palestine ::sigh:: couple of days ago I tried to look up my roots, and I read a lot about Jeneen, it’s amazing the history that city had, and I must say, I got goose bumps just by looking at the pictures.

Jeneen that small city, I still have relatives lives there, I don’t know most of them, but you know, the few that I saw…. Hmmm how can I say it, can I say that… let me just say that I feel very special around them, I keep on looking at them admiring them, sometimes I ask them “how does Palestine looks like?” do you go to Jerusalem?” did you bring ma3ak trab mn el blad?”

And I actually asked one of my friends who used to love their for “trab” from el Quds! He gave me a bottle full of it, I have it in my bedroom, maybe for some people it’s stupid, but for me, that’s part of the holy land, et3a mn ardi!

Guys, this is the first time that I actually struggle while writing a post! Maybe I’m getting too emotional from all the posts I’m reading for everybody for the past few hours!

And I dare you, try to watch this little girl without having goose bumps or not even cry!

OK.. I got this on my Email today, maybe most of you knows it already, well… I didn’t get it till today :D , I wasn’t planning to blog about it, but it cracked me up :) .. so cute kaman :oops:

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.
He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees
is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and
pressed. He looks around the room and sees that
it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.
‘Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping.
Love You!’
 
Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and
sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.
His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, ‘Son, what happened last
night?’  
His son says, ‘Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.
Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye
when you stumbled into the door’.

Confused, the man asks, ‘So, why is everything in order and so clean, and
breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect a big quarrel with her!’

His son replies, ‘Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said,  
 
‘LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I’M MARRIED!’

Moral:
Self-induced hangover – $ 400.00
Broken crockery – $ 800.00
Breakfast – $ 10.00
Saying the Right Thing While Drunk * ‘PRICELESS”
