Too much or not enough

 

Hi Natty!  Sorry I'm running late Honey, but I had to register for the Covid vaccine.  I'm still eating my dinner as I write this letter.  I'm having a cheeseburger with buttered corn on the side.  How are you?  Did you enjoy your birthday?  Did you have some pizza yesterday?  I ate nothing but pizza all day!  After all, it was the Great Pizza Day!  I don't know if I could eat pizza everyday, though.  I know people that do.  When I worked at the pizza joint, there were some people that would order everyday the same thing.  I guess you could compare it to eating like a cat, if it doesn't eat the same thing everyday then it gets sick.  Anyway, I hope you are well and having a marvelous time.  I love you so much!

Happy Birthday, Natty!

 To you and your twin brother!  Oh, your birthday falls on the Great Pizza Day!  You will probably be having cake, but how would you like a pizza?  I made you a deep dish pizza for your birthday.  My camera doesn't take macro photos so the snapshots are kind of blurry, but I had to get in close because the pie was small.  After all I only have a toaster oven, plus the dish I used wasn't that deep.  I hope you have an awesome day!  I love you!

A day at the races

 Hi Natty!  Oh, your big brother took you to the races!  You don't look too comfortable, though.  Well yeah, the Nascar circuit is pretty much the furthest thing from nature you can get.  But I think your big brother took you along with him to Atlanta to help protect you.  If that had been the case, then please give him my thanks and gratitude.

I wish I could be with you during these competitive times.  If we had gone to the races together, we would dress up.  Right?  Why not?  Why not look like a winner at the races?  I would wear a top hat and tails, while you wear a frilly summer dress, and we sport binoculars on a stick.  It would be loverly!

Monday

 Hi Natty!  How ya doin'?  I hope all is peachy for you over there, and you're having tons of fun.  It's Monday over here for me, and it's been a busy day.  I don't really keep a journal, I'm not that type of person.  I just need to say something to my loved one, so this blog is as good as it gets to a journal.  There is a lot I don't talk about, you're just going to have to marry me to get the details.  Anyway, I had to run some errands in the morning.  I bought some salted fish for my mother, and more potatoes for myself.  I didn't get takeout for lunch, I just ate some leftover fried rice when I got back.  The weather was very pleasant today, thank You ya Allah.  It was so comfortable.  I cut the grass in the evening, so I bought chicken and India style rice at the night market for dinner.  I think you would like this stuff, Natty.  My cats love it.  Anyway it's time to do wardrobe for Mary's avatar, then I have to rebuild my bass drum again.  This will be the 3rd rebuild, I'm so fussy!  Plus I find it very enjoyable.  I love you!

Plus, you don't have to cut the grass!

 

Wow Natty, that looks like a gorgeous place to be.  Are you mad at me?  Please don't be mad at me, I always pray that Allah gives you the best and easy life, and I work hard towards that end.  I actually envy you: I want to be a beautiful woman too!

But I'm not, so I have to cut the grass.  See that photo above?  That's less than 2 weeks growth.  I'm always cutting the grass!  But I had a nice dinner just now, alhamdulillah.  I bought a packet of spaghetti yesterday, and I really wanted to try out that marinara sauce.  Oh it's so simple Natty, but simple is best!  I fried up some of my home made halal beef sausage then added the marinara sauce to make the spaghetti sauce.  Plus, I have plenty of mozzarella cheese right now.  My baked spaghetti was a success!  Want some?

Qur'an 20210711

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

119.  Ah!  You are those who love them but they love you not, though you believe in the whole of the Book, when they meet you they say, "We believe," but when they are alone they bite the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage.  Say, "Perish in your rage: Allah knows well all the secrets of the heart."

120.  If aught that is good befalls you it grieves them, but if some misfortune overtakes you they rejoice at it.  But if you are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you, for Allah compasses round about all that they do.

(The Family of Imran 3:119-120)

Just an average day

 Hi Natty!  How are you today?  Is everything going well for you?  I hope so.  Not much going on here today, just the usual.  I did some shopping for my mother in the morning.  In the evening, I cleaned out my oven in preparation for the Great Pizza Day.  It's not a great oven, just a toaster oven.  I obviously can't fit a big pizza in there, nor fully cook one.  I just use it to melt the cheese, and cook the sausage topping.  A long time ago, Doutzen peed on the door of the oven.  Doutzen was Lookie's sister.  Yeah, I named her after the Dutch model Doutzen Krous.  Let's see, I have a snapshot...

She's the kitty on the left, Lookie on the right.  I guess Doutzen had a low opinion of my oven.  So do I actually, but we make do with what we have.  I lost Doutzen a few years ago.  She was in heat so I let her outside to find a mate, and the humans took her life.  Anyway I cleaned the pee off of course, but it left a lasting rust scar on the oven door.

Dinner was a cheeseburger and fries.  Nice and simple, but I added the marinara sauce I will be using onto the burger.  Nice and simple sauce, with big tomato chunks.  Anyway, it's almost time for the sunset prayer.  I'm looking forward to working some more on my drum.  I love you!
