Awesome awesome week...

Getting lots of good news this week :)

A friend of mine who had been laid off a few months ago got a job. Just had lunch with him, and he looked SO upbeat and happy!

My cousin's son who moved here from India only last week also has an offer in hand (even before he got his SSN in hand!). He called me right after I got back from lunch to share his news.

How awesome is that!

And I am super relaxed because I have been sleeping REALLY well last two days (last week was hell because I was getting only about 4 hrs of sleep everyday, and a lot of driving around and organizing to do for the aforementioned nephew and his wife). They are nicely settled into their apartment three days ago, and my life's back to its own pace.

And I feel good about being a good aunty to two people...

  1. To the aforementioned nephew and his wife (she went "yikes" when I told her, "You know P, technically, I would be your मौसी-सासुमा!" I went "yikes" at that too, and the hubby said, "that's cool, उस से सेवा करवाओ")

  2. To Aneri. Its her birthday on Monday and I sent her a "Jakks Vmigo Handheld Dog Chihuaha". I have no clue whatsoever what the heck it is, but thats what she wanted, and thats what she gets :)

And I am super thrilled. About what? Welllll....I have coral colored nails today :D
And I am wearing this t-shirt I bought from Alaska. Its white, and has line drawings of butterflies and flowers in black. You know...the kind of drawing's you'd see in a child's coloring book? Ho-hum, what's so great about that you say?
तो सुनो इस्पेसिअल बात... The minute I step out in the sun, the butterflies and flowers turn blue and pink and green :D
Super, eh? My colleagues and I did this drill of going in the building and out again a couple times just to see the colors changing. Ha ha, such fun!

And oh, the work on the spa has finally begun. Now I wake up to see some guys digging in the backyard (and of course I do go yikes! every time I see them) instead of squirrels and birds and cats!

Have an awesome weekend, yall!

aneri_masi said...

@neeku, thanks!

@vrij, einh, i don't care so much abt it, since my family is so big, I am some kind of aunt or the other since I was a kid.

And no worries abt the garden being messed up. We had always planned on putting a spa there, so no plants put in as yet. Planting will happen after the digging's done :)

@sourish, thanks :) Will def wish her!

aneri_masi said...

@Ella, yeah, I do still need that break! t-shirt to special hai, khojna hoga! And seva...I guess...a little bit, she helped chop up veggies and stuff. Baaki I don't like anyone messing with my kitchen (shesh! can't believe I said that!)

@ceedy, yaa, good news malya badhe thi etle majaa :) how was your weekend?

aneri_masi said...

@crystal, naam kaise change ho gaya tera? yep, it was purrfect :)

@Peter, thanks and welcome :)

@Preeti, of course! I wish I could have all my gal pals out here when its done!

@ankur, sure thing! and yes, I am lucky, woh to hai!

@veens, aa jaao, invite karne ki kya zaroorat. And t-shirt stays fine after washing :)

Mez said...

Hey what do coral colored nails look like? Pics pls :)

Aarti said...

Hey

Love the background.. am crazyy about Butterflies and my eyes started to twinkly twinkle the minute i read about your T shirt with butterflies on it... :D

Cute!!:)

Cinderella said...

I so agree di !

I dont like it too. I mean my kitchen's every masala dabba also has its own specific place which ppl change to change n you dont seem to find it after they keep it sumwr it doesnt belong....

And he cant keep a single thing in place n search the whole house for almost every damn thing...!!

aneri_masi said...

@cg, yep, totally :)

@ankur, not sure why you feel so. Most of my replies were "thank you". And even if khud ki badhaai kar dee, to galat kya bola ;)

@mez, hmm ok. will take a pic soon (before it chips off :\)

@aarti, I love the background too! And the t-shirt is so much fun :)

@ella, tu bhi grihini ban gai tab to :p

@veens, very busy :(

@sol, am sure it will :) I guess because it is more about having a sunny outlook than about luck!
