1. I hate brushing my teeth. I hate it so much I will actually delay going to bed. I’d rather be exhausted than actually do something that will take all of 5 minutes to complete. How does that even work?
2. I told my husband that I was “so over these kids!” on Sunday when we were all having a rough day. I’m not going to make any excuses for that – there isn’t anything that could justify those words coming out of my mouth.
3. I love to feel cold. So much so, I turn the fan on and leave the window open at night just so I can wake up from a deep sleep because I’m freezing.
4. I have a big nose.
5. Confession time : I watch (and LOVE) The Apprentice. There. I said it. I love it so much that I daydream sometimes about being a contestant on the show and then realise that – I’m not a successful business person, I don’t live in America, I wear hijab and I don’t wear power suits or short skirts so therefore couldn’t possibly be picked as a potential candidate and then I get all depressed about it until I can forget all of that and start daydreaming again. No. I don’t have a life. Why do you ask?
6. My favourite joke of all time -Q. What’s brown and sticky?
A stick!!! AHAHAHAHAH! I kill me!!
7. I weed my pants when I was 5 years old. It’s probably the first time I ever felt HUMILIATION.
8. I used to drink about a litre of Coca Cola a day when I was working full time. Combine this with random thing #1 and you will understand why I hate the dentist.
9. Oh yeah..I start work again in April inshaAllah. Just alternate Saturday mornings for starters.
10. I’m a nail biter and I just can’t stop. I’ve tried everything but don’t seem to have the will power.
#6 just cracked me up
I really like the Apprentice as well. Next to ER, it is probably my favorite show. I always try and get my kids in bed before it comes on so that I don’t have to deal with them while watching the show.
remember the favourite joke of a certain relative of ours…?
“What’s worse than a girl guide in your pocket?”
“A brownie in your pants”.
And by the way, your family know your REAL favourite joke
EDIT: It’s NEVER been my favourite joke!
Salaam
I hate brushing my teeth, too. Yay! No longer alone in this.
(My husband loves brushing — to the point of wearing his toothbrushes out much faster than normal…and he has a toothbrush in both bathrooms so that one’s always nearby.)
HERE’S ONE TO BUILD ON THE BROWN STICKY ONE (WHICH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IS ONE OF MY TWO FAVOURITE JOKES, TOO!):
Q. WHAT’S YELLOW AND SMELLS OF BANANA?
A. MONKEY VOMIT!
OH YEAH.
Here’s a joke: ***edited***
Sorry Flava Flav – not appropriate for my blog. If you’ve got a clean one, I’m happy to post it
Baraka :
Surviving : The Apprentice and The Amazing Race are my guilty television pleasures. We tape them to watch later in the evening when the boys are asleep.
Doctorsister (asylumseeker): Hey where have you been? Been checking for you on skype and no answer. Is everything ok over there? And again..that joke that I EDITED..is NOT my favourite one!
b. My husband is the same – he religously uses mouthwash too. Pfffft I say.
susan : Heehee. I LOVE IT. Why did the plane crash? ………………………………………….
Because the pilot was a tomato! HAHAHAHAH
Yeah, sorry about that. We’ve been having internet access issues at the apartment, so I haven’t been able to get online. I am temporarily staying with another sister (to keep her company while her roommate is away) and I’m using her compo at the moment. She doesn’t have skype.
I’ll insha Allah be moving into the new place (I told you I was moving, right? One can only walk on eggshells for so long…) on Friday insha Allah. I should be online more often after that – till classes start anyway.
Re: the joke… well, we could easily be mistaken for thinking it was your favourite joke since you’re in hysterics before you even get to the punchline. I only find it funny because of the way you tell it, and the fact that YOU (seem to) find it so hilarious.
I miss you (and “the boyses”) so much
Who started the joke – Why did the plane crash? because the pilot was a tomato!
this is going to sound very pig headed of me – but i swear i believe i started that back when i started high school in 1997…. but now i am starting to wonder if i might have heard it elsewhere. funny as though – cracks me up every time.
