Ramadan Mubarak!

Today is the first day of Ramadan, and I am quite proud of myself for remembering to get up early so that I had time to eat.

Beth from work is retiring and we are planning a party for her. During our planning meeting my stomach grumbled so loudly that everyone heard it, it was very embarassing. Unfortuately th eparty will be in the daytime, but I will bring some cheap tupperware for me and my fellow Muslims to have some Iftar take-out. ;) I hope that people aren't too upset.

In other incredibly obnoxious news, Mehdi Zana has been detained by the Turkish authorities when he came back into the country with his wife Leyla. Why can't they give that family a little peace?!
