My Vintage Ring

March 31, 2009 5:46 PM , 3 Comments ,

I’ve been waiting for these for exactly 1 month and 2 weeks. It arrived yesterday.

Will forever hold in my heart – my vintage gold tone filigree with faux turquoise ring I ordered for the first time at Etsy. I love the style and the unique curve of it. I’ve been keeping in touch with the seller since 1st week of March coz I thought it lost its way here to Qatar. The seller was patient enough to calm me down, hehe! A big thanks to Ms Kristi.vintage1

Just like an imitation of Bella’s cuff in Twilight. Shucks! Twilight fever strikes again!vintage2

Sitter for Julia

March 26, 2009 11:33 PM , 2 Comments ,

Not in a good mood for blogging these days. So busy with work and trying to cope up with Mommy Duties as well.

Mom will be leaving by 25th of April – so need to be independent again. We’re trying to apply for a visa for my sister – but unfortunately, our request was not granted by the Immigration which makes Hubby more upset. Everyday as I look into the calendar, and I think of the fact that Mom will be leaving soon, I feel so hopeless! Not that I can’t do it myself but the fact that I’ll be leaving Julia with a stranger is totally 101% unacceptable to me.

We’re trying our best to find a good nanny, we found one already with a reasonable price. 9 hours a day for $165 / month is not bad at all. But of course, this will lead me working back to 8 hours a day 6 days a week and 1 day off. I don’t like to go back to the old schedule since I’m so used working 12 hours straight and a 3 days off straight as well.

Insha Allah (God willing) we’ll try another way – much better way. I’m thinking of not working for 3 months just to look over Julia, but it’s a big financial loss for us. I’m not just supporting my husband but my family back home as well – referring to Mom and Dad.

Enough of the emote moments. I’ll be back on Tuesday to blog more.

xoxo

I have so many pictures of her while sleeping, but it will take me a week to post it here. So might as well post the most memorable sleeping time. Until next week.
