Last Slack for the Year

** Song of the Day: Im so much cooler online - Brad Paisley **

Yes I have finally decided to blog. Its been a while. A looong while and I think I may need a little practice again at this blogging phenomenon. And no I will not be the gay blogger who apologizes for not blogging for so long since the blog really is about ongoings in my life and if the ongoings overtake all my free leisure time.... the blogging lacks. You know what I'm saying. Well at least the married folk do. Its difficult. Doing the things you would normally have done when single. Since I got married... honestly... I have not been able to get past the first quarter of any and every book I have opened. I have not blogged which was somewhat of a daily activity in my life. I have not worked out!! Holy crap I feel disgusting. yeesh! I have stopped drawing. I hope I remember how lol. Its been a looooong time since I sat down and watched an indian movie curled up in a blanket with chai. I have not seen my friends since I got married! It has also been forever since someone else has done my laundry lol. But thats a given. lol. Unfortunate.... certain prevliges are just taken away when u get married lol.

But on the plus side..... Me and Iqbal have been married now for a year and bit.... a month and a half to be exact. Which is super cool but I honestly didnt even realize its been so long. But ofcourse... with the year mark behind us now ... we ... and by we I mean just me ... have started to get THE lectures. From everyone... and the surprising part of it is.... Ive even got it from Haider!! Quite the strange situation that was lol. But yes... the questions and concerns have begun.

Mom: sooooo ... when are we going to see this baby of yours
Me: um... I dont know... I havnt thought about it yet
Mom: well we want one
Me: we do??? whos we?
Mom: Us... me... ur dad... you know. all of us. we want a baby already
Me: but mom.... I dont think Its happening yet
Mom: comeon sarah.. you can have one baby and and then you can at least be sure then have the rest of them later when you want to have babies... you know?
Me: you want me to have a tester baby??
Mom: well... yes

And I had the same conversation with Maami. *sigh* Im getting so much pressure and Amina and Saima get nothing. What is up with that?! Not cool!

So moving along ... Its almost christmas and the year is almost over. Ammi is in Atlanta. Mom and dad have gone away to Pakistan and missed Eid here. It was quite the awkward feeling without them and it will once again be awkward without them on christmas and also new years. The christmas tree was put up and dad wasnt here. Thats his thing. We put up the christmas tree together every year *sigh*. I miss them. I'm also starting to now miss Asma. And Sophie... lol which is strange since she dosnt live in Toronto but still. Its just the thought of her being in Pakistan. You all know what I'm talking about. lol.

My poor camara is sick again. I have real bad luck with these cameras. Not quite sure why but someone has put a hex on me Im sure of it. So point being... I have no pictures of anything for the past 3 months or so. That is just unimaginable. So me and Iqbal have come to a conclusion. We need a DSLR. So I have decided that this DSLR will be bought. Come February.... I will have one. Im sorry... I mean we will have one =) ... inshallah aaaaammeeeeennn!! And when that is done... Sarah will be back in the game!!! Im sorry ... I mean... me and Iqbal will be back in the game. Wooo!! I'm actually starting to get excited about it already. And by excited I mean anxious.

So seeing as I have not been blogging and seems like it will be a while since I blog again.... Maybe. It would be safer if I say this now.

Merry christmas!!!!
Happy New Year!!!!
*muah muah muah*

Byee!! =)

Mole Freckle??

** Song of the Day: Dig a Tunnel - Lion King 1 1/2 **

I can truly and honestly not get over this little kid.

My Ketchup is Spicy

** Song of the Day: Mandy - Barry Manilow **

I know it has been a while. And yes I also understand that calling it a while would be an understatement. So ... I appologize to the people who actually read this thing on their own. Not to the people I have to force to read it... those people suck lol. Anyway ... point is ... I been busy.

The meaning of busy has truly changed since I got married. Before when I said I been busy ... I actually really meant that Im lazy and just forgot. But now its like... I sit there and plan my whole day and have blogging in mind but I just never get through my plan far enough to reach the blogging. Its kinda ridiculous ... this lack of time and entertainment in my life. It is actually quite depressing. I did more exciting things before I got married. Now I just work and come home and eat and MAYBE go to see Nadia every now and then. And even that I have been doing alone recently because Iqbal Jaan Jee has been glued to his hockey and all that good stuff. So yah. Not much excitement happnening here. And that just makes me miss Asma, Momin and Sacha even more. You know? And they JUST left. Sheesh! I have not been to Wonderland even once this summer. I don't even have a pass. Is that even believable???? Im just so appalled with myself. Its disgusting!

As you people can tell .... I am truly depressed about something and I have absolutly no clue what it is. I was awake most of the night last night for absolutly no reason and now I'm exhausted. You know when you just get these really bad feelings about something and you just somehow never end up figuring out what it was. Well it happens to me and when it does ... its not a good thing because I know something bad is about to happen. I really hope my feeling is just a stupid woman mood swing (even though I dont get much of those at random but I'm hoping).

Oh ... I almost forgot. The previous post had a conversation where I had asked you all to guess who I was talking to. Well .... noone REALLY guessed which was quite dissapointing so no one gets cake! Punks. But I will tell you who it was. And the answer is ...................................................................Mansoor!! lol. Since no one really guessed ... all of you get to make me cake. So lets get started people. Cake!

Alright ... I'm out.
C ya.

p.s. Start blogging again guys. I need stuff to read.

Guess Who

** Song of the Day - This is My Now - Jodan Sparx **

As always ... I was having conversation on MSN and realized that this was one of the blogable convos and decided to ... ofcourse ... blog it. I will not tell you who this person is because I would actually like you to try and figure out who is. Ill bake you a cake or something if you get it. Lets see lol.
Take a look:

~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

[Guess Who]:
Am armpit perfectly fits most things - its shape can accommodate most designs (think about all the things you have put in your arm pit this week) - its multitasking nature offers accommodation, comfort and moisture to any thing that can fit under your arm.

Tink:
Oh god ew! Lol

[Guess Who]:
It’s true. The arm pit should be a super hero. I am Arm PIT hear me ROAR

Tink:
Wow where did that come from lol

[Guess Who]:
Actually this is a big secret but I think the arm pit both has a crush and secretly envies the elbow

Tink:
lol!!!!!!

[Guess Who]:
And i think i use my elbow more than i use my arm pit
And don’t get me started about the hand

Tink:
u touch ur armpit more than u touch our elbow though

[Guess Who]:
That sucker is ....... ah hmm what’s that - well i don’t think i can keep this pg 13 ft you go there
It’s not when the elbow and the armpit do for me but what I do for them
That is a fundamentally flawed concept
Anyhow my feet are anxious so im going to take them out for a walk
Later

Tink:
lol
I am so blogging this conversation!!!

~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

Alright people... lets see what you got.
Guess Who?!

Renji Cleanup

** Song of the Day: Never Too Late - 3 Days Grace **

I was sitting on my Renji (Laptop) the other day browsing through my files trying to search for a specific one when it hit me ... I don't remember maybe 11% of what i have on my hard drive. Now I dont know about other people but I tend to use everything on my computer. Even if they are old pictures from ... I dont know.... 2003 ... guess what ... I will still look at them on a regular basis. But What I noticed ... or should I say ... realized is that even someone like me who is anal about her stuff can forget the things I own. Ofcourse not physical things ... thats just crazy talk. Anyway ... so I decided to go through everything and figure out what is on my laptop that I use and what I wouldnt use and would need backing up. Now ofcourse it was obviously inevitable ... and I found alot of stuff that was just freakin silly. I have alot of tester files sitting around everywhere. Pictures, documents, scans, voice files, videos. lol!








Its kinda creepy how these pictures look believable isnt it?
What I also found while doing my strange random search was this :











This Picture was taken in Pakistan at Tauseefs place. We had gone out earlier in the day to buy some cherries and Mangos. The mangos sucked but the cherries !! Dang! Freakin good. And this is probably the most neatly organized box of cherries I have ever seen in my life. lol









So ... Now ... moving away from that ... I do not recall doing this but since it was on my laptop and only I would do something like this ... I will assume and accept that I did it and at some point in time I thought it was important for me to spend so much time on. Wow ... sometimes I have no idea what the hell I was thinking. lol!!!! Take a look

Lol What am I supposed to say after that lol.

Anyway ... one last thing ....
I have never seen such a neat and clean garbage day in my life! This is outside our house. Frig! I should take a picture of garbage day on another street and compare. lol.

Alright thats all I have for now.
Twinkle Twinkle ;)

[Insert Cartoon Arrow Noise Here]

** Song of the Day: Jesus take the Wheel - Carrie Underwood **

I was going through my text messages on my phone and clearing out a bunch of them since my inbox is now starting to overflow and found a few text messages that made me laugh. These were all serious conversations except for maybe a couple of them but they are actually funny. And if not funny ... then they make you wonder ... what the hell?! lol. And so... here are the text messages in no particular order:

Iqbal: I love you like a fat kid loves cake (Not sure what brought this on)

Iqbal: I will roody poo (does anyone know what a roody poo is? I would assume it has something to do with wrestling?)

Iqbal: Are you underground

Asma: you better be having fun. It hit me yesterday

Haider: Taking pictures and stud and what time iq it there! Also keep up posted about the hotel numbers! Okey dokey smokey pokey jokey (lokey fokey mokey nokey ......)

Haider: Wa gwan! me say me an keear about no pictures Maan! Just bring your roody poo candy asses back! Ya hurd me! Lol ez homie! and ya i do want to see pictures.

Nadia: Happy sharu birthday to you!!

Iqbal: Im a little teapot

Iqbal: ew! my coffee was good

Iqbal: you'll do the talking yo! Why do you think i married you so I could get dry cleaning done with ease.

Someone: Can I start our daily poo conversation now?

Iqbal: I am able. The ability I have. I should add that ability to my resume. (The ability: Plugging in a laptop charger)

There were many more that I used to have which were funnier but I no longer have then or have the patience or time to look for them lol so this will have to do.
C ya!

"Flush"

** Song of the Day: How Do You Know - Enchanted **

I am extremly disturbed at the moment. I realize that I have not blogged in forever and now that I am blogging, it doesn't look or seem like it will be a pretty one but i strontly believe that it is crucial for this information to get out to the "people". I just don't understand how someone can be so inconsiderate and not understand the concept of simple and common sensical etiquette. You guys now must be wondering what can possibly be so appauling to me. Well ... let me just say ... everyone knows that a public washroom is for the public. Public means everyone ... not you. And everyone knows that upon entering a public washroom, you have to keep in mind that alot of other people are also using the washroom at the same time. The people who do not realize this should not really be using public washrooms.

Public Washroom Etiquette:

1. Wait your turn to get into a stall

2. Don't shove the person getting out of the stall to get in. The stall has no feet and is not going anywhere!

3. When you get into the stall and sit down ... don't look through the cracks and spy on people. You think we can't see you ... but we can

4. Don't take a crap. We do not need to witness that.

5. If you have absolutly no choice and you just HAVE to take a crap then DO NOT make noises!

6. When taking a crap ... after you plop ... FLUSH!! We do not want to smell your stink.

7. When you are done taking a crap ... do not touch poeple untill after you wash your hands.

8. WASH YOUR HANDS

There are other things I can get into but it seems like people do not even understand these simple common sensical rules. It grossed me out. Seriously disturbing guys.

Anyway ... Moving along ... Iqbal the other day just told me and Haider agreed that I do not know how to use air quotes. They actually compared me to Joey! I so do know how to use air quotes!! I do not appreciate this lack of apreciation of my air quotes. Even though I am being compared to a Friend lol. Still ... its a stupid friend. lol Anyway I am done for the day... I am honestly too disturbed by the whole washroom thing to do anything so I am going to go.
C ya!

OH before you take off ... this video is a "must watch". So watch it.
I am still dying laughing.

Get the Phark Out of My Store!

** Song of the Day: Pak Sar Zameen .... **

Watch this. There is absolutly no explanation required. lol

Tutor vs. In Need of Tutoring vs. .......

** Song of the Day: Harder Better Faster Stronger - Daft Punk **

I am however also impressed with this kid.

He I think needs some tutoring. Lord!
But frig hes so cute! "excuusseee me!" lol



And then theres this kid who just likes to dance lol

The Dance

** Song of the Day: Cant Touch This - MC Hammer **

First off let me just say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
So we had a new year party as always. Usually every Qureshi new years has been huge and super fun and involves shalwar kamiz and confetti and a million pre midnight countdowns and a million post midnight countdowns and crazy picture taking. However ... I think I was the only one dressed up this year. Hardly anyone was there. My brother was missing in action. Mansoor and Meen never came down. Asma was sick as hell. No one took any pictures. I missed the countdown. Half the people were clueless and didnt know if the countdown that happened was the real one or the fake one. People just started hugging and no confetti was made or thrown. After the countdown everyone just sat down and started talking like nothing happened. It was very depressing. I am super disapointed at this years new years eve party we had and have made up my mind.... I wanna go away for new years next year. Bas! And the year after... we can have a crazy party again. Lets see how that goes. Who knows if that plan will even come through ... know what I mean?? Anyhow... regardless... I hope all of you have a really good year since our 2007 was a rollercoster ride ... hopefully this year will not mess with our emotions so badly. So many good and amazing things and so many negative things all together is never a good thing but hay... we got through it. =)

Anyway... Moving along from the emotional Sarah to the regular Sarah conversations. I have been thinking and you know ... I am really starting to seriously realize how strange everyone else probably thinks me and Iqbal are. lol. (no zaffar ... not que for you to start dissing! lol) I noticed that our conversations are 99.9% of the time about absolutly nothing. Which is okay but when our conversations are serious ... this is what happens:

Me:
k.... haircut still st 3 15 so... i gotta make it ok?

Iqbal:
k dont tell me again pls unless its 245

Me:
lol k dork

Iqbal:
if you do then... you owe me something

Iqbal:
$5 every time you mention it

Me:
pshhhh! not evenI

Iqbal:
k then what?

Iqbal:
you gotta do your dance for 10 seconds every time you mention it

Me:
hahahahahaha thats an interesting request

Iqbal:
yup and i get to tell you when. like if you say it 3 times from now then i get to keep those three dance requests with me until i wanna cash them in got it?

Me:
*sigh* ok but u cant keep more than 3 at a time dammit

Iqbal:
hmm … u cant tell me about ur 315 appt, period! i decide the rest lol

Me:
oh no u dont! thats not fair

** Then Iqbal changes the topic (go figure) **
** 5 min later **

Iqbal:
this reminds me of u: http://xkcd.com/175/

** that link lead to ...... **


























(I dont think i do that lol)

** 10 min later ... **

Me:
u done for sure at 2? cuz im done whenever your done

Iqbal:
thats like asking me. i get a dance. Done. dont argue

Me:
oye hullo! u cant trick me! the deal was asking about the appointment... not when ur done. dont cheat iqbal!

Iqbal:
it was time-related. and i know it was a hint. pus u wanted to blog about the 3:15. dont think im not on to you and your round about ways of reminding me. that is technically TWO dances but ill let one slide.

Me:
hahahahah ur such a cheater!!!!!! i dont accept...sorry

Iqbal:
u dont have a choice its been done. one dance

Me:
lol ok fine!!! Loser. and no... u did not win this one... sucker!

And that is just one example of the kind of conversations me and him have. Sheesh.
Oh and he did try to cash in that dance lol.
