Ground on Down
Still up on cloud 9, however, also trying to keep both feet on the ground.
I hung out with Anuzi and Mr. Bhat the other night - they took me out for a celebratory dinner (thanks, guys!). Unfortunately, NC got the 4p to 2a shift this week, so he couldn't join in. No worries, I ate enough for the both of us. Anyway, I got a lot of great advice from them about wedding planning. Lord knows I'll be picking their brains a lot over the next year or so. I also got to talk to Mals, who is at the home stretch - only a few days until her nuptuals.
This weekend we'll be going to my hometown to look at four venues and also have our engagement photos taken. There's also a side trip planned to go see Ajja and Mamama! It's going to be busy, but I know NC and I will have loads of fun.
There are a gazillion questions swirling around in my head about everything, so as a great distraction, I was tagged by Arches to list seven things that people don't know about the mkp.
1) When I get writer's block, I have to step away from the computer, sit with a legal pad and write it all out by hand. I did many of my papers in college this way. Even with pieces that I write for work, I'll take this approach.
2) I. must. sleep. with. socks. on. If I don't, then I have nightmares.
3) Speaking of sleep, if I'm almost entering sandman's world and I feel like I haven't locked the door, I have to get up and check it. Sadly enough, 10 times out of 10, it's locked. You would think that I would have learned my lesson by now.
4) This is going to be the same as Arches number 6 - I can't stand it when people touch my feet. NO TOUCHY! Pedicures (all 2 of them that I've had) absolutely kill me. My heart starts racing and I get all squirmy in the chair.
5) My brain never shuts off. There's not a time that I'm not thinking about something. And a majority of the time, there's background music, too. Occasionally, it sounds like narration of what I'm actually doing (sometimes it's in Konkani).
6) If I'm running a race, or if I'm just running for kicks and giggles, when I get to the last part of my run, I sprint like crazy.
7) I was a big kid (ages 10-12) - like round big. Big, big. Cute, but big.
I'd want to tag Priya for this. Work it for me, mama.
