Fun and Fair Game......

In addition to our family happenings......our newest family past time is.....KARAOKE! YA! I wonder if that is horribly unislamic of us? Well, I'll say this.........it's GREAT FUN!! All of us sit around and take a try at different songs........some of the more notable favourites were:

Hakuna Matata - 11 yr old
Twinkle Star - 5 yr old
Just around the Riverbend (Pocahontas) - me
Car Wash - my brother....(HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!)
High School Musical songs - 15 yr old and some duets with my brother......
Beauty and the Beast songs - 13 yr old

Oh you can't imagine how much laughter goes on in our house! My mom just sits and watches, although we've tried to get her to sing. I'm just waiting for the neighbours to complain about all the male cats hanging around outside.....HAHAHAHA!!

(and a special, special thanks to the over generous, totally kind sister! LOVE YA!)

So something new........

I"ve just completed an interview with the Toronto Star about the state of Polygamy among the muslims here in Toronto. It's going to be an article that will open some eyes. I've used my name in the article, and I'm guessing that many members of the community will realize that it is DEFINITELY me. (I mean, 5 kids right?)

I called out the muslim community, some sheikhs and generally, created some havoc. I'll link you up here when it's published........

I rented the movie The Color Purple yesterday. I cried my eyes out. And I wondered if I could relate to Celie? Where her husband was totally abusive and stifling and then suddenly, she just had enough and broke free? Didn't I work hard like Celie? I cried so much......sigh. Have you seen this movie? How did it affect you all?
