Successful babyshower

So finally it occured, D's babyshower was a success. I had to get up in the morning to clean and D was kinda suprised and confused but didnt ask much questions. We got late getting out the house and around 5PM, when we were still in NJ..i started panicking as we were supposed to be at the house by then..we reached home at 6PM and if it were not for the door that was left open, she would really have gotten a good suprise..

So the party carried on till the wee hours of the night...early on..we had a 3 on 3 touchdown game which finally made us use the yard!!. The bbq was just too good..but all the rich food got to my poor guts. And tha fact that it was raining previously had everybody carrying half the lawn into the house.

Today was a pain getting iup in the monring and cleaning...anyways...now its back to the daily grind...

babyshower blues

So we have been planning the babyshower for the past 2 months. Actually I did nothing..it was all D's friend..even the cake that I was supposed to get.. i asked D to get it and the adorable baby even went and brought it. She has no idea that its D day tomorrow. After the last couple of weeks of miserable allergies

Hopefully she'll like the whole suprise. I'll post an update before the weekend is over.

Avian Flu....Update1

Being in the profession that I am in, I personally feel that if the avian flu was to rear its head..there is more a chance of a complete shut down , in the markets, within the govt and the general infrastructure around the countries that have the pandemic. There may be an initial rush to keep the markets alive but that will soon turn immaterial with the human tragedy unfolding. I wonder what the real scene will be...

Spring sprung..and i'm still lazing around

As i was saying..the leaves under the trees were too much for this soul to handle..so what did i do?..the neighbours were spring cleaning..and we just highjacked the "neighbours from down south" to clean up the yard. i was amazed that the right equipment makes the job seem so easy!!..the guys completed the job in around 4 hours!!..if i were to do it..it would take me atleast a couple more hours at the least...but it did come with a cost..and keeping in mind that the lilone is arriving soon..i even asked them to do the lawn...so we'll see how that goes...
