Where has it all gone?

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

I am literally staring at this empty space in this blogger box......for what seems like 5 hours! I have gotten up 3 times looking for bad snack foods, drinking iced tea and checking my email (even though I know when I do get an email beacause I have the the tab open) Where to start!!
Okay so here goes my catch up blog post (if you say this really fast it sounds like ketchup blog hehe) random!
1) My family got me a new mac as a bday present last year and I don't remember what life was like before this Apple gem!!
2) I gained 7 freaking lbs and my Indian mother actually said "dear..you need to lose weight!" say wha say wha
3) Our new house is a lot of work but I love our home.
4) I miss Bhatji when he isnt around and then I OD on our time quickly and crave solace. And again within 5 mins I missing him again. Almost feel like I am schizo. Poor Bhatji doesnt know if hes coming or going hehe.
5) My dance buisness is picking up. slowly but surely and I love my students. I felt satisfied in my new career when my 5 year old student gave me hug after a show and said "all iz well ms. Anuzi"
6) We rang in 2010 with our new found friends and lots laughs and liquor.
7) Bhatji and I resolved to lose weight together. Yeah theres a ingenious resolution hehe.
8) We have cut out white rice from our diet completely and calorie count constantly
9) We joined a gym and I am an avid fan of Zumba
10) I have lost 5 lbs since Feb and I am aiming to lose 5 more. (yeah right!)
11)However Bhatji has lost so much weight that he actually looks emaciated! I hate that men and women lose weight differently.
12) I don't get the hype of the movie "Julie and Julia" Bhatji fell asleep within 15 mins of the movie.
13) I wish I had a green thumb...I would love to wonders with my yard.
14) I want to stop procrastinating........starting next week hehe!

Ok thats all for now. Loving this Spring weather. Fabulous times ahead :o)

In my solitude....

I'm feeling really alone. And often times I cannot turn to my friends or family about things. Hope I get out of this rut soon.

You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Music is played for love
Cruisin' it made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

It’s been too long and I need to take refuge in my blog starting today. So last I shared I was on my way to India to spend some qt with my in-laws and take some dance classes with the greatest Bharatnatyam dance guru ever right in the birth place of the art itself: Chennai. Needless to say I came back with new love and respect for Bharatnatyam. After coming back to the US Bhatji and I purchased out first house!! Yes we are officially adults….I think hehe. I know we should be excited but there is sooo much work that comes with a house…..why didn’t anyone warn us! Also with a big house we realize that we need more people over. I really wish we had family living around here…sigh. But all negative reviews aside…I love our house. I love the idea of decorating my own place with no rules. So I’ll add pics as I add something to the house. The kitchen is where I spend most of my time so I will posting some recipes soon. But for now I just wanted to let you know that I am alive and well. Busy but well :o) Thanks dear blog for letting me back in.

Tere masoom savalon se pareshaan hoon main
o pareshaan hoon main…..

Nothing like soft slow old school Hindi music while packing to India; I have hit a few glitches with this trip. Last minute changes and some gifts are taking way to long to get here before we leave. Lately I find my self overwhelmed easily. I have always considered myself a very strong individual with a very “take the bull by the horn” kind of mentality. But lately every small hitch feels like a gigantic problem. Ever feel like everything you do requires a phone call or email to confirm, cancel or re-order. I feel like I have been on hold for different customer service for every item imaginable; Phone company, credit card company, gift orders, postal service etc. UGH it’s very frustrating. And dealing with so many kinds of customer service reps has caused me to lose my temper more than once. Why can’t things just happen more smoothly…especially before a big trip? Oh and Air India has the worst customer service ever. Bhatji and I usually avoid Air India at all costs but this year they were the cheapest ticket we could find and man let me tell you it has been infuriating dealing with them. They have 3 services for booking a ticket! You call one number for booking, someone else sends you an email confirmation and if you want to change something in you itinerary, you have to call someone else! Is this a means of providing people with jobs or just a way to confuse and frustrate their customers? To top it all none of the customer service reps are any help at all. It took me 8 phone calls to find out one piece of information and every time it was different answer. I finally had to use the most commonly used to answer as the right one! I am still not sure if it is the right one but God knows if I am on the phone one more time I will throw a fit and break something.
So I end this entry with a quote from Home Alone (when Kevin applies the after shave lotion):
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Until the next entry…pray that I stay calm and things work out.
