Things I miss most when I'm away from home

- Hugs from M. Really miss resting my head on his strong muscular shoulders and feeling protected as he folds me into his arms.
- The first thing I feel every morning - his warm breath on my neck as he pulls me closer to "sleep for 5 more minutes"
- My bed
- My home and the freedom that comes with it - to be able to eat, sleep, drink, anytime and anything.
- M
- Hugs from M (I'll say it again, I love them)
- Even the kisses (which I find annoying when I actually get them)


But on the other hand, I had the most amazing time in LA this past weekend. I am traveling for work and it was such a nice break from the stress that everyday life can induce! Feast your eyes -

Hit or miss (in other words, pretty random)

I have been going to Zumba class regularly for about 7 weeks now. The class is every Tuesday, so technically I have done it only 7 times so far. But I still give me credit, cos doing something consistently for 7 weeks is unheard of in my case, especially if it involves anything that requires moving your body just for the sake of it (or moving your body, period). What...you didn't know I am a sloth? Well, now you do. Yesterday in the class while moving and shaking my bootay, I figured out why I like Zumba so much. I am a hard-core desi, down to the detail of loving Bollywood. I realized just like the movies, I too need the singing and dancing in my life.
It was funnier in my head, I promise.

When I first came to US, I used to live on Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. And then as always, I ate them so much and for so long I got sick of them. Yesterday, I had them after almost 3 years. Ever since, I cannot stop dreaming about when I will eat them next. I diagnose a "mild" case of OCD and I want to prescribe some Frosted Flakes to me.


What's the news at your end?

PS: I got a whopping 103 votes for my apartment!!! It's unbelievable. One hundred AND three. I am really overwhelmed by the number of people who took time to register and vote. It's amazing and if I could, I would thank each and everyone personally. Thank you guys!

M got me this because our apartment is on apartmentmenttherapy.com, as a contender in Small Cool Contest. Isn't that the sweetest! :)

On cloud 9!

Before I tell you why I am on cloud nine and so happy today, here's a funny story. I was returning from another city by train today. Everyone on the train most probably flagged me as a moron, cos I could NOT stop grinning the whole 3-hour ride home. Why am I so happy you ask? Well, a couple of weeks ago, I dared to submit my apartment pictures in the Small Cool Contest by Apartment Therapy. After waiting for about 10 days for my apartment to appear on the contest page, and still seeing no sign of it, I gave up. Today evening I got an e-mail that my apartment is now posted! Check it out!

The way anyone wins this contest is by getting the most "favorite" votes. You know what's coming right? Pleading for votes...total politician style!! Won't you "please please pretty please with a cherry on top and a cute red bow" go to my apartment page over at apartment therapy and "favorite" me?!! I would be eternally indebted to you and do your laundry for lifetime if I could!! ;) :)

You might need to sign up, and it only takes a minute and I promise they never send any mails (spam or advertisement or anything else). I know this first hand, cos I have had the account for a long time myself!

Hope you do vote for me! Even if you don't do leave a comment, either here or there to tell me your feedback (whether good or bad). My home is always a work in progress and any feedback is most welcome!

In the meantime, you know where to find me - Cloud 9. Being here is awesome and I want to enjoy the high while it lasts! Can't remember the last time I was this excited! :)
