Mood:  surprised

I was at work last night...nothing new there. We had a new girl there and we had some interesting customers. One of my boss' friends came in and immediately started acting like my best friend. It was hilarious.

We also had a lady come in for take out. She was a young Christian lady which is important only because on her way out the door she turned around and told me she wished her daughters would become Muslims. I almost laughed because I found it strange that she wanted her children to be Muslim even though she wasn't.

We also had a Hindi family come in. They asked if we had halal beef which really confused me because I thought they didn't eat beef!

My weightlifting hasn't been going too well the last couple of weeks because I sprained my wrist pretty bad but it should heal soon inshallah.

It's been awhile...

A certain friend of mine has been driving me insane lately! Always insulting me when I'm not in the mood for it. I may just go find someone else....but aside from that, I've been busy with work and school plus I have limited internet access temporarily.I don't really have much to say today.  I'm trying to focus more on school this semester and try to do better than I did last time. It's snowing so much here and I'm tired of it! I wish I were somewhere warm.

Mass confusion....
Mood:  on fire

I am confused right now. Life is a bit complicated for me at the moment. I am a little sad that Ramadan is over. It went by so fast and I miss the iftars at work and school. I'm still getting back into a normal eating schedule, but am having difficulty eating as much as I did before. The problem is that the amount I was eating before was just enough to maintain my weight. Now I'm starting to lose a little more than I'd like.

I am also having issues with the marriage thing. The one I was in love with and have known for several months might be getting engaged to someone else because his parents want him too. He wants me to wait for him, which I wouldn't be so hesitant about if he wasn't getting engaged.

The other reason I'm hesitant is because my friend introduced me to another guy who seems perfect. We have already met once and are planning on meeting again.

Ramadan is Over...Eid Mubarak(a few days late)

Yes, I do speak English well...

So I was at work the other night. It seems like I'm either always at school or work lately. It's nice to work because I need the money. Saturday was one of those perfect days where we had plenty of business but never a true rush. I made more in tips than I've ever made.

One of the customers I had was attempting to speak veeeeeerrrrrryyyyy slooooowwwwlllllllyyyyyyyyy to me when I seated her. I asked her if she would like a drink. Her response??

"Wow! You speak English so clearly!"

Of course I speak English clearly! I was only born and raised here. Some people...I also hate it when people approach me and attempt to speak Arabic. I don't know Arabic, I wish I did and I'm trying to learn it though. I'm basically teaching myself because I'm too shy to ask my friends.

I also had a guy insisting that the restaurant must sell beer. No, it doesn't. Don't ask if we have this brand or that. We don't. Don't ask if our food is marinated in wine or beer. It's not. If you don't like it, don't come to a Muslim run restaurant!

I had off last night, so I went to the mosque where I needed to listen to someone's crying baby the entire time I tried to pray. Perhaps she should find a babysitter next time.

Work, Ramadan, and Lifting...
Mood:  cool

I love Ramadan. I didn't think I would, but I do. Even though I work at a restaurant and have to deal with food all day, I don't feel tempted to take any until it's time.

Speaking of work, it was a really interesting day yesterday. I made decent tips and only had a couple people think I didn't undertsnad English lol.The real interesting part was when a woman came in trying to sell us art.

Let me set something straight. If you're going to attempt to sell art to a Muslim-run restaurant, make sure there is no nudity or idolatry in it! I would have just said we didn't need it anyway, since the owner wasn't there, but I had good reason to refuse it when I saw them.

I also gave away one of my favorite hijabs last night. Someone at the masjid needed one and I had an extra in my car, so I just gave it to her. I had to leave a little early and didn't want to hunt her down and rip it off her head. Oh well, I have plenty more.

My lifting has gone pretty well, which surprises me. I haven't gone as hard as usual just because I don't want to be too sore.

I suppose that it all there is to say for now.
