Katharine Hepburn
You scored 19% grit, 23% wit, 42% flair, and 19% class!
You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Yesterday was refreshingly normal! The type of day, I will refer to as blah/boring/lame etc, in 2 weeks. J and I woke up , went to work, Work was a typical monday, Drove home , bitched about gas prices, being broke ass, had leftovers for dinner which included: mexican, thai, pizza, and scotch! After that, I went and bought my bookclub book and read till the Daily Show came on and made fun of our dear president! Then I read, and J listened to music and then we went on a little walk and went to bed.

J and his boy were wrong King of Wishful thinking is not a depeche mode song, but a Go west song. Score for me and KD. We also discussed the merits of Ringo starr! We are uber lame….yes i’m using the word uber. I also listened to a Michael Jackson song, I had never heard called “No one cares about us” and MJ might be a pervert and a weirdo but he did put out some badass music.

On a serious note, I am really worried about J and his leg. He hurt his leg playing basketball and now its not healing as quickly. It might be some serious tissue damage, but i really hope its not, cuz that would mean surgery! Yuck!!! I guess we’ll know at the end of hte week!

Oranges and Thai food smells really good together

its amazing how sensitive our bodies are. I just only recently cut back on my calorie consumption and i can feel a huge shift in my moods, i.e crankier, slower , sluggish. Weird. Sometimes I am in love with my physical systems, they are so intricate and delicate, fragile…and yet we are tough enough to survive the rise and fall of civilizations.

there are days where i look at my hands in disgust and days like today, where i canlook at the little indents and marvel at their intricacies and networks.

hmmm…why do i forget that simply typing out words can lift me out of my blues

3 more days of being 23!!!! Blah! Sucks getting old. I know i’m not old really, but this year has been a crazy one. So many changes, sometimes they all seem unreal.

Back to work. I really should do some real work today. Grrrr….

Ms. KD is on vacay for a while, so i will be doing lame top 10 lists by myself, as it is made painfully clear by this weeks topic.

1) Its a birthday present from J
2) Its 4mp as opposed to my old one which was only 3.2
3) Its a nikon
4) It has a sports continuous shoot mode
5) It has a 3x optical zoom, my old one had no optical zoom
6)Its tiny
7) I have it before Africa, so I’m all excited to take crazy cool pix
8) It has a Sepia and B&W color options
9) I can take really good close ups of Layla’s nose
10) It has amazing battery life.

These are all things that don’t require leaving the house….. Helped narrow down some stuff.

Sleeping In: Self Explanatory, no one should ever wake up before 10(ish) on a sunday, in my case, probably later, but for this post we’ll say 10. All early morning weekend activities should be scheduled for saturday mornings. Sunday is after all, the day of rest.

Sex: Without going into TMI, Sunday sex is the best, especially after sleeeping in. If possible it should be done a couple of times in the morning and maybe in the middle of the afternoon as well, or in the shower.

Breakfast: Either a long leisurely breakfast at a cute little cafe or complicated breakfast at home. I like Grayson Cafe, J and I order the same thing and read the Independent and its always nice and lazy. For staying in, I love to have Chocolate Chip pancakes, made by J, (In spite of all my culinary know how and aspirations, I cannot make a decent pancake) with bacon/sausage, orange juice and the whole works.

Sunday TV : There’s two categories of Sunday TV.
A) Daytime: Usually Food Network, TLC, HGTV, VH1 or a Hindi Movie, it can’t be anything good, would kill the whole purpose

B) Evening: Sunday Night Cartoons have been a ritual for J and I as long as I can remember and that includes, Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and King of the Hill. Back when X Files was around, spending sunday night with Fox Mulder was a must.

Long Showers/Body Pampering: I love taking super long showers and trying out my hair masks, and face masks, and different lotions, and also doing all sorts of girly stuff, like plucking, tweezing, painting toe nails, etc. Also great for trying new hairstyles. I can take hours on it and if I mess it up, no one will know, cuz I won’t leave the house.

Reading: In the afternoon, on a freshly made bed, with blanket covering just my feet and the sun spilling in through the windows. Its even better when I doze up for a while and wake up to find Laylz asleep on her doggy bed and J asleep to and making the nap longer.

Decorating my House: Its the best time to figure out where frames and knick knacks go, to switch out candles and photos, or move around my very few pieces of furniture

Organizing Photos, books, cds, or clothes: Sorting and browsing through my collections can take up hours. I love grouping and regrouping things. I’m a weirdo, I know. I also like to take pics around the house of Laylz and J.

Playing with Layla: Playing tug, fetch, or any weird game she wants is the best on Sunday. I am usually not irritated by her and I think she loves getting unlimited and super long belly rubs from us. All this attention also makes her not act out and she is usually very well behaved on sundays.

Elaborate Sunday Dinners: This has been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember and I incorporated it into J and my life when we first moved in together. I love cooking a meal that takes a little preparation, or is really flavorful, something I wouldn’t make on a weekday to avoid a messy kitchen. Its like Friday night for our pallettes. Yesterday I started out making chicken Sukha, but it ended up being a milder and less fattier version of Butter Chicken and we had two kinds of breads ( Garlic Naan , and Paneer Paratha) and Mango Lassi. Other favorites are Penne Ala Vodka, Kabobs, Fish Tacos, etc.
