question

why is it that in every drama/comedy/dramedy the token asian kid doesn't have an accent but the token indian kid always sounds like a fob?

lesson of the day

don't let someone else determine your worth.

anyone who tells you that you are anything short of priceless doesn't deserve to be in your presence.

ever.

Ow

Got my vaccination today for the trip to India. :-(

I hate needles.

My arm hurts.

I'm a big baby.

on the 11th day of the countdown

my parents gave to me...

a long list of people I must visit. Gifts I must give. Presents I must buy. Oy.

3 weeks is not nearly enough time for me in India. My goal for the coming years is to be able to go every year for a few months at a time. I've been discussing this with my friends and trying to come up with a way to live in two countries, preferably have a job that necessitates I split my time between India and the US. This way I have a career, some cashola in the bank and serious frequent flier miles.

So far, no ideas. If you have any, help a girl out.

12 days

12 more days...

At home and stuffing my face. Packing is an afterthought at the moment. I'll stuff my face in India too (that's where I'm going!!!!) and I will end up losing weight. It's the best diet ever. Eat five times a day - sweets included - and come back 20 pounds lighter. Nice!

They have medical tours to India to perform surgeries for like 1000th the cost. Someone needs to organize a dieting tour to India. Eat well. Lose weight. Get some culture in you. Meditate a little.

What's not to love?

13 days to go

One down, 13 more days to go.

I'm going home to mom and dad and sisters this weekend. They are helping me pack and get ready for the trip. I'm a little nervous - truth be told. This is my first time going all by lonesome. I will be laying over in Paris which is another issue in and of itself. Thankfully the layover both ways is no more than a few hours. I will hole up in the airport and pray the time flies quickly. I entertained the thought - for a hot second - of venturing out into the City of Lights but I'm not quite there yet.

Countdown

Well hello stranger!

I'm a tease because I'm posting this just to let you know that two weeks from today - in 14 days - your's truly is going away for about three weeks. I'm going to keep you in suspense. But I think most, if not all, of you already know. ;-)

In any case, my apologies for being a bad blogger. I will be posting intermittently for the next two weeks before disappearing again.

Kisses!
