Blah blahs
I've moved to a new team for a different project, and so far, its been good. I've been trying to re-learn about the product, since its been more than a year. This time around, I hope to do well.
We are going to meet my sister this weekend. She's got a little sweet monster cutie who'll turn 1 soon. That, is the interesting part! I'm gonna teach her how to make nasty faces when my sister calls her, or how to poop on the couch so that my sister freaks out, and also how to demand for motorcycles. Ok that can wait, since she's only 1.
Then later last week, I'd gone to the nth beauty shop to get me Oil of Olay Night cream. Thats the only cream I use, and I stick to only scrubs (apricot, walnut) and multaani mitti with rose water. The sales girl takes me to this counter, and hands me the night cream all right, but an anti-wrinkle with leave-on-all-night kind! I looked at her and showed the cream saying this is anti wrinkle. She replies yes, but its night cream, and that's what you asked. Smartass. I said do you honestly think I need an anti wrinkle night cream? What do young people like me use? I want a simple night cream. She goes, to my horror, and hands me a moisturising cream. No night cream madam without anti-wrinkle feature. Now who's heard of a moisturising cream as being fit to replace a night cream!?!?!?!?! I woke up my bitchy self, took the anti wrinkle cream, handed it to her and said, you need this since you seem to be getting old, else why'd you hand me moisturising cream when I didn't ask you to. She wore a smug look. I. Couldn't. Care. Less.
Mom is leaving this weekend, and I don't like it. She's so much fun! She and hubby tease each other and one tries to out do the other in masti. I love her. She is so funny, down-to-earth, her advices are always right, she knows exactly what to do when, and how to do it, she's clear in her head, she's calm in responding to curt people, and she laughs a lot. My mommy.
Oh I got my new salwar kameez stitched from a yet-another-new tailor. And thankfully, he's done a good job! Whenever I get something I like, then I make sure I appreciate the person who helped me. It makes them enthusiastic and happy. I did the same with the tailor and said its really stitched well. In fact, I was so happy that I bought myself a Good Housekeeping magazine! Spoil me silly!
Today is my 3rd wedding anniversary, and I've been married only a year. Hows that then, you ask? Well, I got married according to two traditions (hubby's and mine) on 2 different dates. So that's 2 wedding anniversaries. Since the Hindu calendar is different from English calendar, I get 2 more anniversaries for each of the wedding anniversaries. Confusing? Ok its like this - I got married on 10th Sept* acc. to hubby's tradition, and then again on 26th Sept* acc. to my tradition. These are English calendar dates. My mom insists on celebrating anything (birthdays, anniversaries) acc. to Hindu calendar. Since these 2 calendars NEVER match, I get two more dates, acc. to Hindu calendar, when 10th Sept corresponds to some date in Hindu cal and 27th Sept corresponds to another date. Phew. But as long as I get niceties** who am I or anyone else to complain?
* - Fictitious dates, of course. Not my anniversary.
** - Oh that explains the pearl earrings and pearl pendant I'm wearing today! ;)
