Life Through My Eyes
Last night, I registered for Central Jersey 2013-2014 Heart Walk by the American Heart Association. I got involved last year and am so glad I did! I was able to raise $360 last year, so I am aiming a little higher and have set my goal for $400 this year. It’s unfortunate that I won’t …
I am scared of all bug related things, so when I just noticed two cicadas at my front door? Yeah, not going over so well. Several years back, I saw them through the safety of the car on a road trip down to Virginia to visit family. When we got there, cicadas were also there …
“What if the cure for cancer is trapped inside the mind of someone who can’t afford an education?” I came across this quote late one night last week when someone shared it on Facebook. It was in the middle of the night, but it got me thinking right away. It hasn’t left my mind since. …
I never remember my dreams. I don’t think I stay in REM sleep long enough to even have many… So imagine my surprise when last night not only did I have a dream that I woke up remembering… but a very vivid one. Why couldn’t it be a pleasant one at least? It’s just my mom …
I’ve been having a major sweet tooth lately. Not exactly sure why. Although I was still super tired from the trip to Virginia, Monday was one of those days that I needed something sweet. Like at that very moment. The first thing that popped in my head? Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake squares. It’s something …
So you know what I did this weekend? I locked the keys in the car. In the trunk. In a rental. In another state. Ugh. Oh and I managed to do this the night of my cousin’s, Naairah, graduation party. On the positive side, I guess it was a good thing that we were already …
So the day of Sabih’s graduation party? It also happened to be my cousin Naairah’s birthday! Thursday we head off to Virginia for her graduation ceremony that day followed by her graduation party on Saturday. For her, I made a confetti cake. I used the same homemade yellow cake base recipe as I did for …
On May 30th my cousin, Sabih, graduated from college and yesterday we celebrated! He loves basketball – and when I came across a similar idea a very long time ago, I had immediately thought at that time that I have to make this for Sabih! Fortunately, I remembered last week and decided to try it …
No, I’m not talking about age. I’m talking about the clothing store. One that people my age shop at all the time. Their “store credit only” policy for returns? Their jewelry and accessories as being “final sales”? Stupid, I know. But I didn’t normally care or think twice about it because I don’t think I’ve …
Apparently I’m having a major sweet tooth lately. Today I made chocolate cake with pecans in it. Usually I don’t even like chocolate cake! For the chocolate cake you will need: 1 and 1/2 cups of [all purpose] flour 1 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 teaspoon …
