sickly weakling…..

nainadg

Blah…I am sick.

Actually I’m kinda glad. I was feeling semi sick all last week, and was being really whiny about. Its always nice to get some sort of feedback that, indeed I am not crazy.Yaaaaaaay!!!!

Also now J feels bad that he rolled his eyes at me last week, when I told him I was coming down with something. I am really not a hypochondriac, so it pissed me off and as usual I am glad to have been proven right.

This afternoon, in a moment of weakness, I spilled the beans to my mother about how J and I have vague plans to marry…sometime in the future. This was a wrong move. Although she said she understood why we were going so slow, the whole conversation was sprinkled with

“you really should just get married now”, “your grandparents are getting old”, “2006 is a lucky year”

…And if I know my mother, it will only get worse. Gah!!! Bad Girliegirl…

New Dogs and Old Friends

nainadg

I got the highest score on my marketing test in both the sections. Hey its nice to know I’m at least smarter than 65 random girls. As NG says- Go positive reinforcement.

Last night J and I took layla on a walk to the elementary school by our house and ran across a stray lost puppy. She was really friendly and very happy to see us. She and Layla had a lot of fun playing together. Anyway, it was getting cold and we brought her home for the night and then had to take her to the shelter this morning. I felt really bad, there’s just this awful feeling of how wrong it is to drive a dog to a shelter, instead of bringing it home.

I know its not a big deal, but it really felt like it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, because I know what happens to the dogs that don’t get adopted. But I do recognize that if Layla got lost, I would want someone to do the exact same thing, take her to the shelter, cuz she would be well cared for and it would be easy fior me to find her. Although, given how spoilt and obnoxious layla is, I doubt her chances of getting adopted would be very high.

Having a nice, mellow puppy around also made us painfully aware, how obnoxious laylz can be sometimes. I don’t think she knew if she was trying to get more attention from the dog, or us, but she knew that *everyone* had to give her attention. Is this a common trait of an only child? Am I like this ? I guess sometimes, but I feel most people are like this sometimes. And also, I plan on reproducing only once, so there’s a higer than 50% chance that I won’t have twins and I’ll raise an only child as well. And if J is the dad , then the kid is in trouble, cuz we have thoroughly spoilt Layla into manipulative, needy brat.

In other news, I feel kinda guilty for not being around NG, not that she is very needy anymore, and seems to have a seperate group of friends from me, but i guess i do like her and miss her, so i’ll try to make a bigger effort to hang out with her soon.

So, I’ve been slacking at this blog thing, atleast at the public posts anyway. I wish I had a good excuse but I don’t…really, no excuse at all.
Things have been going well for the most part, other than day to day hiccups that are sadly a part of human existence.

School- So far , so goo. In march I find out, exactly how long I have left to graduate…bleeeech

Work- Salon hasn’t opened yet, but its going to open in a week,so not too long

Relationship- steady,no big waves, no big news really.

What else? I have been reading the blog of this guy J and I have been hanging out with a lot lately and i don’t think he knows. I feel slightly dishonest, even though his blog is fully public.

Exercise

Weight loss 2006

nainadg

Yaaaay!!! I might be able to swing a free gym membership at this really nice health club next to my work, in exchange for free tanning of course…..Sweet, maybe I can get my lazy ass in order and start working out.

I do feel healthier though, becaus I feel like I’m eating significantly less these days…but it could also be all in my head. The sucky thing about not having a scale is going to bed bath and beyond or linens and things to weigh myself[now that i don’t have a gym membership:(] Oh well..I’m just going to enjoy the feeling in my head.

I think its because J and I have been buying really easy foods and not really been making yummy, tasty meals and my guess is that the trend will continue as we will spend less and less time at home on weekday night.

I’m excited to get skinny….dammit……

The First Day

nainadg

Well, I ‘m offically back in school now, even went to classes and all that.I think thes women’s only thing is actually beneficial, its nice to go to class and not worry about making a fool of yourself in front of some cute guy! But my professors seem nice , but its always hard to tell on the first day of class, when everyone is nice.

Nothing much else thats new, other than I seem to be out of my funky depression or atleast seem to be in the process of coming out of it….now i’m more concerned about things like money…more tangible things,that i can deal with and that I have control over

…And here we are….

So, the much anticipated new year, especially much anticipated month-January is finally here. The time of starting over and hoping that this year, there will be no major fuck ups. I’m being a pessimist….pffffft….Bah Humbug!

The end of last year was so horribly dramatic that I’m not even relieved that its the new year and its the time for new begginnings, or any of that stuff….Honestly its not that bad…I’ve just been in a weird funk.

Top 10 things that have happened, since I last posted

1) J got knee surgery and had a blood clot in his lungs a few days later and couldn’t breathe and we thought he might die. He is not dead, he is still kicking and banging his drums behind me and still annoying as ever.

2) I went to India and saw my cousin get married for real this time. He did not call of the wedding, after all far flung relatives had already made it to India

3) I am 10lbs heavier, because of India, wedding food and just because I am a lazy glutton

4) J and I are doing a 2 week substance free stint and getting tons of annoying comments from our friends. Geez, they need to grow up

5) I am all set to start school in 2 days. Infact, i have already made friends with a 23 year old ex stripper and am awaiting my laptop.

6) J’s ex g.f is back in touch with him and wants to revive the relationship. She is also married and unhappy and is turning to J for “comfort”

7)Layla no longer jumps when I come home, she sits and looks at me and wags her tail like a civilized dog. Ofcourse these are on good days

8) I learned in India, that I am a very popular aunt. I am also very opinionated about how people should raise their kids. This makes me feel bad, because I have no reason to feel this strongly about this

9) Work is nice, steady and boring. i am loving it. I even managed to make working at a Tanning Salon tie in with my interests.

10) I think I might have tendencies for depression.
