Assalamu Alaikum,

Well its been a few weeks... a lot has happened since.
For one, J has been feeling much better lately, which I'm very glad about. Alhamdulillah. Everything happens for a reason, and we should always take a lesson from everything in our lives, and not make the same mistakes more than once.

Let's start with the weekend before last, the day of the big dinner party. Well, J and I woke early and began to cook and clean. He made soup (Broccoli and cheese), and it was realllly good. I was proud of him. Then we made the entrees; chicken breasts stuffed with feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. That was extremely complicated. Then, I made the potatoes, also stuffed, and really pretty too. My mom came over and helped us clean the living room which was coated with papers.
After that, we finished cleaning, and the guests began to arrive. First, TayTay came, then Mr. and Mrs. O(aka mom n dad in law). Then, last, Mr. and Mrs. B(hehe, aka mom n dad) . They all loved the food, and ate almost everything. Then, for dessert, we had berry parfaits, which actually turned out really good, much to my astonishment. (Because they were semi-healthy).
Afterwards, the women went upstairs, and we all just talked for an hour or 2, while the men stayed downstairs and talked about politics and **surprise surprise** engineering. I bet J was bored. hehe.
Then, last week, J had training. It was about an hour away, so we decided to get a hotel room, so as to ensure him arriving on time every morning. It was pretty boring whilst he was in training, so I decided to venture out on the town the second day. I found a place called City Walk, which was their equivalent to "Rice Village" or something. Except, you had to pay for parking....by the minute. I parked, fed the meter, and began to explore. I had gotten about 3 yards from my car, when suddenly I felt extremely faint; it was like 98 degrees out there. I decided to go back to the hotel room and watch TV....after stopping at Starbucks :)
After I picked J up, we went out to eat, and just chilled and stuff. I was EXTREMELY glad to be home though. Man, some people are so absurdly extravagant. Its crazy. Even if we ever did have that much money (like upwards from 5 Million, it seemed like.) we'd never be like that. I hope.
Last weekend was alright. Saturday was "family time" dinner at the in-laws. It was actually kind of awkward for some reason, and everyone wasn't all jokey as usual. :/ And, J was very agitated. Afterwards, we all just chilled and ate cake. In the evening, we (the women) went to the mall. It was quite fun. I got lots of cool stuff, compliments of my mom in law. :) Kirklands was especially fun, since it was just us 2. Then, we went to Jamba Juice, and then headed home. At night, (5 minutes later), we went to the Baigs' for "game night." Haha. It was fun, and Bapee had a surprise victory, although she made sure to repeatedly complain about the sheer "boringness of the game."
Sunday, me n J saw "The Break-Up." It was alright, a little funny, but a bit too .... extreme. Like, man, they fight like crrrrazy. And, both of them were so stubborn. No wonder they wanted to break-up. I didn't like the end, though. It left me with a sour feeling.

This week was pretty fun...we went to car dealerships and looked around. We both want to get a new car in about 2 years, so we were looking at our choices. 2 years because it would be totally unreasonable, extremely bratty, and probably even Haraam(if you went through proper Qiyaas), to go get new ones while we have perfect ones right now. I never understood people that get new cars every 2 years. W'Allahu 3'lam. Then, I got to thinking, and even though my car will have like over 100k miles, I'm so totally going to miss it. Now I understand people, especially guys, that get emotionally attached to their cars.

Anyhow, J got me an AWESOME gift a few days ago, and surprised me with it today, right before Isha prayer. Its soooooooo cool. I'm listening to it right now. Here's a pic:(at the bottom of this post.and, NO im not listening to that Haraamness shown in the pic.) I'm so excited. Its the cutest thing ever...other than Mariyah, Alakapoochie, J, Golu, etc... its much tinier than I ever imagined, and I can't stop touching it, looking at it, just playing with it.

Well, I'm extremely tired, so I should head off to bed. Alakapoochie is asleep on top of my laptop, so I'm using J's. I'm so glad tomorrow's Friday. Yiippppeeee.

Walaikum Assalam. Peace.
