In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello Cherub!  Hi Pumpkin!  How are we today?  Are you having a great time?  Please make sure you take good care of yourself.  Don't worry so much, OK?  Just be righteous, and Allah will grant you your reward inshaAllah.  You're my sweetheart, I love you and I need you.

Oh, it's just another same old day for little old me.  I did some shopping for my parents in the morning.  I got them a new mailbox, some liquid detergent, fish food, coffee and a newspaper.  Yeah, they still read those things.  I guess it's handy not to need a battery to read it.  I also found some seeds.  Jicama, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and asparagus.  I don't know if they'll grow, but I just sow the seeds.  Allah is the One Who makes the seed grow.  I think I'll try starting a hydroponic system for my lettuce.  They're just not doing too well in the dirt.

I gave Floofy Darling a bath today.  Needless to say, she wasn't pleased with me at all.  She's such a fat cat, it takes her a while to dry.  But at least she's smelling much better.  Please don't roll around in the menses, Floofy!  Right now she looks like a carpet, but I have my fat tabby back to snuggle.

Hello Dearest.  Hi Darling!  How's life today?  Are you eating properly and getting enough rest?  Today is Friday, so I had to go to Friday prayer.  I spent the evening cutting the grass around your house inshaAllah.  My stomach is almost back to normal, so I cooked up some chicken in mole sauce for dinner.  Yummy!  Alhamdullilah.  Want some?

I saw that new Victoria's Secret commercial that was floating around YouTube under your search string.  I want to say that I think you are so beautiful, and I love you with all my heart, and I need you.  That video is new, right?  Everyone looks current, even though there wasn't any close ups of you.  What happened to all the Brazilians?

I just picked some fruit from that 2 headed female papaya tree in my yard, one from each head.  The fruit from the head leaning left always seems to rot quickly, so I stuck that in the cooler just now.  I hope it's OK inside. 

Floofy has been rolling around in her daughter's menses.  Why did she do that?  Oh, it's my fault for not cleaning it up quickly enough?  I have better things to do than to stand guard over the cats 24/7 with a mop and bucket!  Bleah!  She is the only cat I allow into my bedroom, and she usually shares the prayer rug with me when I pray, but I'm going to have to kick her out of my bedroom every time I pray now, until I give her a bath.  Pooi!

Hey there, beautiful woman!  Hi there Gorgeous Girl!  How's business today?  There's always something going on with you, huh?  Isn't the SuperBowl up next?  I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a sports fan.  I'll be your sports wife.  I love you and I need you.

My Dad gave me a snapper this morning, about a kilo or less.  But a good enough meal for one, so I filleted it into sashimi.  I'm getting the hang of sashimi design.  I find it easier to arrange the slices into a bird instead of a flower.  You like sashimi and sushi, don't you?  I have a feeling that your stomach is getting fussier just like mine, and you're finding out that instead of all that gourmet food they display in front of you, you're much more of a burger and fries kind of girl.  My tummy is feeling better, alhamdulillah.  Plus, I just made a super batch of dough.  The bread is so nice and soft, I had to stick half the batch into the freezer so it lasts longer.  But mackerel in traditional hot sauce with super soft tortillas is for dinner.  Want some?  How about you?

Hey there, beautiful girl!  How does it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the world?  Yeah, you!  Don't ask me, I wouldn't know.  I do know that you are the most beautiful girl in the world because you are MY girl.  I love you and I need you.

I feel better today.  My stomach has calmed down greatly, even though this morning it was raging hell.  The remedy was as simple as swallowing some of the antacid I bought years ago.  Duh!  But it felt so different this time.  The pain was different, so I thought it was a different problem.  Ya Allah, thank You for giving me my stomach back!  But I'm still eating very simply.  And small portions, too.  Dinner was fried rice with some sliced chicken cooked in hot sauce.  Want some?

HI there, my beloved.  How are you doing?  How are you feeling?  Oh, I wish you were here with me as usual, because I love you and I need you.  It's bloody hot over here, it reminds me of the desert.  I'm sure it's a huge contrast to the weather over there.  Well, bundle up and stay warm.  I don't want to leave the AC room myself, but I had to do some yard work, then go out to buy some flour because I have to make dough tomorrow.  Even right now as I wait for them to call the night prayer, it's still hot in this house, and I have the AC blasting.

That sour pineapple I ate 4 or 5 days ago really did a number on my stomach.  I never thought that pineapple would cause such damage.  That goes to show me, you, and everybody else that Allah will definitely test us from directions we do not perceive.  I'm not suffering as much as I did 4 or 5 days ago, but I have to assume the worst and eat only mild foods.  So dinner tonight is just beef and potatoes in brown gravy with fry bread.  It's not that exciting, but would you like some?  How about you?

Hey Beautiful!  Hey Ravishing!  What a great looking woman you are.  Yeah, I mean you.  How are you feeling?  Well, I hope you are having a great time and taking good care of yourself, because I love you and I need you.

Did I tell you that I love shrimp heads?  Of course I love shrimp meat, but I love shrimp heads just as equally.  Especially jumbo shrimp heads, the bigger the better.  When the shrimp heads are big, I can stuff them with cream cheese!  Then cook them up in a spicy sauce with green onions.  But it's been a while I had shrimp heads that big.  Today's shrimp heads were OK sized.  Big enough to roll in corn starch and fry to a crisp, and dip them in "sambal tumis", which is basically hot chilli puree and blended onions fried up into a sauce.  Most people don't share my passion for shrimp heads, but perhaps someday you would like to try one?  With a little caviar on top?

Hi there, beautiful girl!  Hello Dahlink!  How's it going this Sunday?  It's a regular old Sunday for me.  I had to clean my parents' bedroom this morning like I do every Sunday.  Lunch wasn't out of the ordinary, just leftover chili and bread.  After voice training, I cut the grass by the road on the street to the elementary school.  I also took down some of the brush.  Dinner wasn't special either.  Just beef and potatoes in brown gravy.  I had to keep it simple today because I had some sour pineapple yesterday which cut up my stomach somewhat.  After this, I have to do my taxes.  Yeah, even though I didn't make any money, Shadowplay is still a registered business and I have to report my earnings.  Just another day in the life.  I hope you are taking good care of yourself and getting plenty of rest, because I know you are busy.  I love you and I need you.
