Boredom Seeping in

Hmmm ... This weekend was chill... We shivered with restless boredom finding simple ways to escape the montony ..

Saturday had me getting up early. I get up volunterily by 6.30 am these days and with each mornign wonder how long before I will be doing this unwillingly. Read " A reliable wife ", had bath, breakfast then sat online and then once shub was up got dressed to go otu for mediterranean food... Came back slept for 2+ hours while shub spoke to rajas and working on his " House Plan " project . Got up, called tracy and discussed her issues and then had pani puri and watched " Law Abiding Citizen " . After that shub went back to project and I surfed tv till I got bored out of my sleepy eyes...

Sunday was pretty much the same. Finished " Undomestic Goddess ". Shub got up early but we ahd nothing better to do. He threw the garbage and got back to his project and mua, continued reading " U.G" which on completion marked our exit for lunch to " Tara thai " and then was the cozy long drive, the end of which had me dozing.

It's winter and our life is a big comma these days. Nothing much to do outside, unless you want to spend a tonne of money or freeze to death. We are equally bored busy with our blogging and projects respectively, allowing days to pass by with smiles and laughter of frustration ...

Going to lunch out lead to a half an hour discussion and then once there, we had a cool discussion during lunch ... Talk is rare now I guess ...

Valentino, my cuteee bunny !! :)

Happy since last evening. Shub had a great time at work. He was so excited. The client really loved his team's presentation and there were praises all around. Appreciatoin was falling like manna in the form of mails. He was so happy, it was infectious. He enjoyed with loads of beer and a grilled cheese/tomato/olive sandwich.

Myself saw 5 episodes of vampire diaires and had maggi and bbq chips. The rest of the time watched star screen 2010 and enjoyed.

Today was even better. Morning got up and was in bed with " reliable wife for most of the morning" and then had bath. Shub was working while I sat online and saw sandy after almost 1+ years on webcam. Really great to tsee her. I miss her so much.

Then we went to Ukrops and had fried chicken from the top floor where I forgot my purse and ran back to get it. SHubham was like, how wonderfull you run !! I should hide ur bag more often < me rolling eyes > Did a bit of shopping grocery and shub got me the lovely cute pink bunny... It's so totally adorable...

On the way home, saw the mobile library and that had me super excited as well. It was so totally cool.. Got " The first family " and then went to the post box and got the mail ... The republicans are idiots, sending theri OBAMA SURVEY , which totally sucks....

Thus proven : life is a series of ups and downs ... Till yesterday morning was so upset about uncle and now am happy as can be again ... Wonder what will happen next.... look out in these pages ... :)

My name is Lost

 For news about Valentine's 2009 - http://adiws3.blogspot.com/2010/02/confessions-of-festaholic.html

Today heard about phuphaji/uncle's lung cancer. Funny thing is I knew about it yesterday and totally blanked it out till today when amita didi called. I don't even know what to think or feel.

***

Went to see MNIK and cried buckets the whole second half. Morning did maha shivratri puja, then had lunch at 4 pm and then fries in the night and burger after 12 at night.

During the movie, remembered the scene at Jodha Akbar when the two women were fighting and someone shouted for them to SHUTUP !! :)) Not to mention the Fool's Gold we saw befoer it, in order to catch JA.

Snow tomorrow again !!!!! :(

So where did I leave off ?? Last two weekends we were snow stormed in and it got really Boring. The monotony of our lives is eating up at us. I'm unusually restless and biting shub's head off. He cannot be liking me very much these days, but I appreciate him for all of it any way. I only hope he knows that. Plans are in process of going out of town . Lets c if any of it works out.

Last weekend I made tandoori chicken, mushoroom peas pulao and daal tadka which was followed by series of Lost episodes and more boredom. Got the photos I'd given for printed and was upset coz I can't find where anything is anymore .... ( hence the chid chid ! )

Today, I did the laundary organized shub's drawer, the main walk in , the secondary walk in and threw off LOTS of papers ruthlessly. So, it was a productive day all in all.

Back from Hiatus

Well, it's been a month since we have come back. Jan 7th night we reached US, struggled through the railway station at Penn for the luggage transport ( met a scary man who offered to life the luggage instead of the princess ie me .. said, a woman should only give birth to babies :p ) After all the work went to TGIF and had amazing food and drinks and then sat for 7 hours in the amtrack.

Reached home relatively easily and then spent another hour clearing the things, cleaning the toilet, had pizza and went to bed.

Relaxed a few days, discussed actually shifting vs. staying here in the Hamptons and after a little looking around settled on moving to Chelsea rather hesitantly.

As luck would have it, after pondering INTENSELY about to stay near ced's house or near a broken fence, both of which went away the next day when we went. Then coincidently, we fell upon the house name 8614 and I was amazed at the number scheme relating to my 874 of college and 123874 employee id at shaya. That and the kitchen being on left with the level backyard had me hooked.

Since then the usual routine is involved and i'm counting days. Have to relate my India trip details here too. Have just got back to blogging and cooking Indian properly. So far, have done utappa, dosas, white sauce chinese, and cooking subzis in the lohe ki kadhai...

Well more updates later ... We've been together quite often these days and it's damned good too ;) hehehe ...

Mom's magic jack has been put up and she calls pretty much every day and I as usual dont have must to say . Kuch kaho toh mushkil nahi kaho toh mushkil ... What do i takl bout every day ? Kya banaya? Kya kya kiya ?? Now that's weird if the only other thing we've done is .. ahem ahem ;)

Shubham got a choclate fudge yesterday ... and it was to DIe for ... Saw ' 4 christmases / harry potter half blood ' this week and tuesday we had gone for thai. Got high on Cold Saki and it was awesome fun in the cold with the snow falling :)
