The books that I have read in English

Hello Dear Professor

I am at home thinking about what you said earlier in the class. Those are the books I read since I started to think seriously about coming back to school. I like to name them for you just in case if you believe I need to change my area of reading.
I am so thankful of your time to read and answer me.

1- Mr. Popper's Penguins
2- Stuart Little
3- Adventures of Amelia Bedelia
4- Black Beauty
5- Charlotte's web
6- a long way gone( I wrote right from the book's cover)
7-Zorba the Greek
8- Why the caged birds sings?

and tens of children books which I read at the preschool or for my baby, Carter.
But I believe I need to strength my vocabulary as you mention it.

The best,

Maryam  

The baby, part two

Their house was quite big, beautiful, with five bedrooms upstairs.
It was located on top of a hill surrounded by trees giving us a tremendous view of the valley. The house also had an office, a pool room, a play room, and a beauty salon where my boss worked as a hair stylist. There was an entrance to the house from the garage which was separated by one row of cabinet, and on each side was one expensive car. The kitchen had a great view of both the yard and the valley.The yard was a combination of the pool area, a pool, water slide, and whirlpool, and a large area of lawn.      

The Baby

Today is Saturday. It was sunny and pleasant. I spent my times with my love ones. Three little angels(when they are sleeping!!). Parker seven, Tanner five and half, and Carter four. First time when I met them all were in dipper, except the baby, Carter, who was not born at time.
Their mother was very busy with her brother's funeral and her husband's recovery from an operation on his brain because of an car accident.Plus she was pregnant on her last weeks.I did not know the baby, Carter, would be my rescuer when I got the job, as a nanny live-in, in their home.

Squash & Zucchini's trip

"I visited my daughter bearing gifts: summer squash from my garden.
What should I do with them? She asked.
Whatever You would do with zucchini, I said.
All right, we will give them to our neighbor."

 Reader's Digest

It is two years that I have the membership of Reader's Digest. That is cheap, easy reading, and also has many real story, and of course tones of adds. I like the Life's Funny part and the Quotes most.
Just the title is my work!!

My daughter

My daughter has lived in Sweden since December 2006. We have worked a lot to get her here. The first step began with my Green Card process in immigration office, which ended after five years in the court in Down Town LA with approving my residency. That was a big win for me, but I could not really and deeply celebrate that because my daughter was not beside me.
It is almost four months she has been waiting for her traveling documents from the US Embassy( she has sent all requirement that the Embassy has asked), but they come every time with a question that many times has been talked about.
She is tired. I am embarrass. Nothing changes, and I feel a very big whole in my heart. It is not easy, specially when I carry that every day with me.


Thanks to correct my last writing. Next time I will write something funny. I promise.

messy blog

Hello again
Dear Professor

       I tried many times to put my writing in a nice order, but when I checked preview the lines messed up I think I need to take my lap to the class and ask somebody to show me how to order the lines. I apologize for the mess in my writing.

Hi

My sister offered me to read a book when I emigrated here in late 2006": Get Out of Your Mind & Into
Your life" by Steven C. Hayes, who is a professor of psychology. It was so hard to get along with all
differences and separation of family, court process and loneliness, anxiety and depression.

My sister who is a psychologist, and lives in Sweden found that so helpful to solve my problems which I am
sure would, but what she had forgotten was my poor English!

Now I have my Green Card and those nightmares are gone, but I am still in page three! Could you please help
me to finish the book?        

Whitney Houston

Good Afternoon Dear Professor

Today, I watched Whitney Houston' funeral about four hours! The memories, laughter, and  sorrow showed within the crowd a lot of strong emotion about her, feelings which pierced through my heart, too. I saw her many years ago in Body Guard, and her voice really touched me.

In my opinion her voice was from heaven. She was not the only one, but she was one the best singers of our time. Her voice sounded smooth, as smooth as water sliding down from  a leaf on a rainy day into the thirsty land, strong, as strong as thunder in a lonely desert, and kind, as kind as a lullaby.

"I have a dream"

Dear Professor, 
There was a time in my life that I did not want to write, even I liked to, and I need to write.
Now I enjoy writing because I feel more secure to express my idea here in the US than in my country, Iran. English is my second language,and I have a long way to learn that, but "I have a dream", and that strengths my passion to achieve the skill of writing.

Sleepy Head

Hello Dear

I am so tired, frankly I did not want to open my lap top at all. Then I thought maybe something is happening in the world right now, so if I sleep it would stop!
Seeing your email which is so kind encouraged me to write to you, something, anything...
Today I was walking toward the bookstore at the college when I saw a very handsome young man who was walking opposite in my way with a big smile at me.
I thought I'm still young and beautiful enough to be looked at!!
Before I do my big smile he shook his hand for somebody else!!
Now you know why I'm tired tonight.      

Two Weeks Free Parking

Hello Dear Professor
         Today in Child Development class I remembered that I should write in my Blog as a daily home work.
I forgot, and now I'm not sure if you meant we have to start right away from the first week or we are free of doing home work for two weeks, like parking lots on the campus "free parking for two weeks"!!!?


The best,

Maryam

Hooray!

I did!! actually, my boyfriend did. I mean he helped me, in some point he gets tired of me and I'm sure he likes to yell at me, but he is so polite, plus he knows if he does I would call my mom!!
