More Things to Do

I can't believe we're leaving tomorrow. Half-excited, half-sad.

Things I'm excited about:

- seeing Izz & fam again [Izz is a very old friend of ours (not old by age, mind you) and she is the daughter of Ummi's best college friend.]
- making Travel TV videos [who cares what Mom & Dad say; at least we found something to do on the trip]
- eating
- sleeping in a luxurious bed at the hotel
- taking the class
- usin' meh travel journal
- the thrill of traveling itself

Things I'm sad about:
- no halaqa
- no tennis
- NO SEEIN' MAR FOR LAHK A WHOLE WEEK'N MORE
- other stuff

Shoulda Cut It Earlier

Everyone has broken their fast and right now we are waiting for Dad to get back. Dad has a new nickname from S. It is 'Pops'.

The garage is opening. Pops is back.

Mom made black rice and burnt chicken. I cut a whole watermelon that is kinda bad. Z eats too much black rice. His lips are blackish-purple. Also I do not think he has showered yet.

Right now H and Z are wrestling in the living room. Earlier we watched the Omar series on YouTube with the hate-seat pulled up to the computer. I am totally relaxing on this hate-seat right now.

I packed two black abayas for the trip and one shirt 'n skirt outfit. I am no longer sleeping in S's bed. It's better that way; S doesn't have to push me around so much.

S is always hungry. I am always sweaty. H is always talking. Z is always....being annoying.

Pack

I finished packing already. The day today is gloomy. I am not fasting. :-[

Here are some random pictures that I meant to put up here two months ago.

This, everyone, is the all-famous Butterflywing.

The faithful pink kitty pencil holder.

Kipper and Seraphina. Kipper is sitting on my heart ceramic box in which I put my special stones.

My stash of Warrior books. I didn't get to read Fading Echoes, The Sight, or The Fourth Apprentice.

My luffly horsebrush. See it?

Best Desk Buds.

I luff the sun.

That was in...August.
