UGH! I looked today and realised that I haven't written in sooooo long. I have been busy with lots of things. Trying to find new vender's for my store, taking my new project before city council, and starting a volunteer position teaching drama at my kids' school. I have been so happy with the teaching, and I hope things are going well with the other two, but you never know.
I have also been going through some personal stuff that I don't think this blog is the place to talk about. I started a new blog and if you know me and don't feel all voyeuristic or think I shouldn't talk about private stuff (which I know has it's issues trust me)... E-mail me and I will give you the address, insha'Allah. Not that it will be private, but I am not just going to link this blog to it because that would defeat the purpose of making it a separate entity. Anywhoo... ummlaylagd@yahoo.com
I am still working out trying to go to Egypt this year, but as this year draws to a close that becomes less and less likely. I am not as flexible as I once was because of school and all the projects we have in the works.
SOOOO, I am trying to get the house in order. Clean, iron, do laundry, clean out the kitchen and the fridge... I have been just puttering around with the i-pod in one ear all weekend. So, part of my house look more inhabitable... But other parts are still awaiting hurricane ummlayla. Mundane, I know. But I have so much on my mind right now and no time to sit down and type it out!!!
BTW... Anyone know how to find islamic lecture MP3's? I have had little to no success finding anything that I can figure out how to download onto my i-pod. I'm thinking my problem is that what I am finding is streaming audio and so I can only listen but not download... HELP!!!

Can't help you on the ipod thing. I haven't caught up with the newest technology. I too am cleaning the house. One part of the house looks perfect the other part is just a mess. Seems reflective of my emotions right now. I truly hope this home cleaning I have undertaken will free up my mind to work on some spiritual cleaning.
assalaamu'alaykum

itunes has a lot of stuff, i have also heard feedburner has stuff
i got most of my stuff (zaid shakir and all that) just doing a search on itunes
if you find anything else let me know
also would like an invite to other blog :)
I ended up finding some stuff on itunes... I was shocked how much was out there. I am just trying out a few to kinda get a feel for what they are like.
I am also a sucker for audio books, and I am trying to find a few Islamic ones.
I will shoot you the info about the other blog, insha'Allah.
Assalaamu 'alaikum,
I don't know anything about how you download things to an iPod, but for tons of Islamic lecture mp3s try Nadeem's Downloads http://nadeem.lightuponlight.com/
