This & That

We watched the movie Cocktail. The movie was ok. Kinda boring to see Saif Ai Khan play the same role for the 4th or 5th time. And although I agree that Chetan Bhagat's commentary in his review for this movie is applicable for some typical MCPs, but it was no way related to the movie for me after I watched it. It was just a movie for me.

I am not sure if Barfi will live up to its hype for me although I dont intend to watch it for a while.

And I finally made my trip to the spa. P gifted the Groupon on my birthday. I postponed it to September and got a massage done. Was pretty relaxing I must say

Impressed :-)

I just mentioned in my earlier post about visiting the Curious George store at Harvard Sq - I didnt even have the link or anything, now I might as well? ;) and there was a quick Thank you comment to my post for visiting their store. I was quite impressed. Its a small store and apparently the only one in the world for the curious monkey fans like my little ones. How much ever automated etc all this is w/ technology etc I get it, BUT they ensured its done. Good job!

This is cordial customer service to me :-)

Hello Fall!

So its been a long week and half or more since I got to my blog..

Lot a of tasks done in my to-do list on the personal front. I had scheduled a lot of stuff for these past 2 weeks and it got done. Importantly got that closets both personal and shoes closet cleaned up. Lot of old clothes and shoes went into the bin successfully. All other follow ups and appointments done. Yay!

And then change of season, hello! P is down with bad allergies. Dad and I have mild low grade fever and sinus since 2-3 days. Mom is so-so, girls have of course runny noses the usual, and so we have been one sniffy and stuffy nosed household :-) So totally stayed home all weekend and got the usual grocery shopping etc done, which went even well since we went to Russos, got some great fresh stuff for an excellent price. Over all made my day at least and my mom's.

Girls are usual self - pint-sized bombs. Too much talking and shocking vocabulary and feelings and expressions. Very impressed and a lot to note down in my personal blog.I am not able to catch up. ;) Its been over a month since the "What's" have begun and I can see the "whys" coming... What is this amma? What is this amma? go the squeaky voices. Yesterday finally AL asked Why amma Why? and I knew what's coming next ;)

Lots of activity in the work front and more tasks scheduled to be completed on personal front - bring it on!!!

Thatha's off to India

So Father-In-Law left yesterday, took the flight back to India. 

We all had our own small crazy routine from non-stop coffee drinking over the weekends, to watching some meaningless movies, and various activities and he will be missed. Luckily with my parents around its not a sudden vacuum for all of us since he left yesterday.

Unfortunately we couldn't find better rental place to move into, hopefully in next two months we can get a good place in some good apartment community or this same one. So it's been very nomadic for us since March this year. Expecting things to work out, we were all set to move hence not attended to any any changes our current home needed, including major carpet change which the leasing office should have done etc,

As FIL mentioned about my MIL's anniversary schedule in December makes us realize how fast time is flying. As of now looks like only P can make to India unfortunately. So I am bummed that I may not make it and we dont see a practical option either as we decided not to take the kids to India this time.
