Random Thoughts

     You know, when I started blogging again I promised myself I would write more frequently but it doesn't always work out that way. Shahid is off tomorrow which is nice because I'll have the car and I can take Imaan to the beach. She loves it there, and hopefully I'll be able to let her play in the water this time because the last two times we went there no one was allowed to go swimming because rain the night before raised the pollution levels in the water too high Luckily Imaan is an easygoing baby and she was just as happy to play in the shower.

  It's funny because the first time I took Imaan to the beach this year I was thinking "When was the last time I actually went to a beach"? Then I realized it was when I was in India,  about four years ago. I'll never forget it because it was so surreal compared to the beaches in the U.S. There were people taking camel rides up and down the beach, and every now and then you would pass a dead sea turtle washed up on shore. There were vendors selling drinks and snacks and all the women were swimming in saris instead of bathing suits. There were also lots of small fishing boats. 

    Now thinking about my India trip is bittersweet because I had such wonderful times there and now my friends and I are sadly out of touch these days. I miss my friends a lot. But thats a blog for another day. 
     I was supposed to audition for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tomorrow evening but Shahid has a job interview so I'm hopefully going to audition next Thursday instead. Shahid and I watch Millionaire everyday and I get a lot of the questions right so we thought it would be fun if I gave it a try. You have to pass a written test and have an interview as well. Millionaire is the only reason I haven't deleted my Facebook account, basically I'm being held prisoner there due to my addiction to that game. :) You can read my post about why I hate Facebook so much here.
     So far while I've been writing this post Imaan has woken up twice and I've had to stop and put her back to sleep. A mother's job is never done I guess.....
