stuff

Hello dear bloggers,
yes I know it has been a while, and gosh I can't thank you enough for your lovely emails, I know I've been missed...NOT, ama emails, no love mail, no hate mail, just big fat zero...lol but I know I am in your thoughts wondering how's da pregnancy going and all that crap! rightttt!!! well, I am ready to give birth...I think Mariam is old enough now, 7 months, perfect, great age to start dealing with everyday stuff.....besides, they say kids mta3 7 months come out super brilliant, so I am totally relying on that, cuz her mama and papa are no brillianto!
well, alhamduliallah I am doing great health wise, my doc said I should "nbakher rohi" so I don't get da devil eye, ... I am looking forward me and DaStars' trip to Doha next weekend inshallah, he's got a meeting and I am going to be glluuuueeddd to him, I enjoyed my trip to Abu Dhabi in March, I'll post pics inshallah....hummm wat else, dat's pretty much it, I try to keep busy, I am reading a lovely book, I don't want to be busted mentioning da name here...dat's pretty much it
so take care you all and I'll be checking all your blogs soon

everything has an end!

nothing lasts forever; we all either make decisions or things just turn out that way...
Today March 31st 2008 is my last day at ConocoPhillips; I still remember my first day Feb 1st 2005 as if it was yesterday. I experienced the ups and downs of the company, I met and worked with great people, and some aren't so great...lol I watched it grow from 10 people to 30....well, that being said, I submitted my resignation two weeks ago cuz I am getting very pregnant and working is not a priority for me at this stage. I will for sure miss few things about it, and yes few things not everything...lol
