Tuesday Trouble...

                                                                    


Tuesday’s here and I’m taking a few minutes to post this quickly, at the speed of light, if I may exaggerate. I will get back to my regular schedule of elaborate posting and maniacal commenting soon, I promise. Once, I am back from my vacation. There is a lot to be done before I leave unfortunately, which leaves me with little time. For now, all of you can whet your appetites with my lovingly brought up and patiently nurtured post-its!!!
To know more about this, go to the awesome Supahmommy. I’m sure she’ll take you under her wing!

Just enough time for a Monday Minute...

Monday Minute

I am posting this at breakneck speeds as I do not have a lot of time today(God! when will this crazy streak end?...loud wailing)  but do not want to suffer from withdrawal symptoms if it doesn't go up! To get addicted to this awesome questionaire just scoot to Ian's Blog.


1 - What drugs have you done in your life?

None. I am sooo boring. The only drug induced high I have ever felt was a slight fuzziness when I consumed large quantities of cold medicine!

2 - A/S/L?

25/f/undisclosed...for security reasons

3 - Do you pick your nose?

Ummm…seeing as to how I am not so popular, let me not give more reasons for people to run away from me!

4 - What's your favorite childhood cartoon

Tom and Jerry…especially the parts where Tom is getting beat up!

5 - List the URL, of what you believe to be the best blog post you've ever done
 Rain ... this is one of my initial posts and takes me straight back to my childhood. I love this post especially, as it has so many pleasant memories attached for me, and came straight from my heart.

Life is Good...especially when you get an award!!!


                                                                         
Yay…I have snagged an adorable award and been tagged by the lovely Alice @ Alice in Wonderland who is one of my favourite bloggers and writes the most sumptuous poetry. I must admit this is the second time she has given me this honour and I am pleased as punch, tickled pink, delirious with joy…you get my drift. But, not so delirious that I cannot post about it and announce it to the whole wide world.
Now, as with every tag and award there are certain sweet conditions attached, for what else can they be if not sweet. I have to answer ten simple questions and spread this joy amongst six other bloggers.

Ok, here are my answers to Alice’s questions:
If you were a Disney cartoon character, who would you be?

Minnie Mouse with her long eyelashes and tomboyish attitude.

Sweet or Savoury?
Savoury, I do not have much of a sweet tooth. I love dark chocolate though!

If you could spend an evening with anyone, fact/fiction, living or dead, who would you choose?
I would love to spend an evening in the company of the haughty Mr Darcy and teach him a thing or two about attitude!

Plane, Train or Automobile?
Train, because it’s the most romantic. Sheesh  I can’t believe I admitted that!

Picnic or Cinema?
Picnic, lazing on a warm blanket with a book for company.

Cat or Dog?
Definitely Cat.

Book or D.V.D?
A book, always!

Long hair or short hair?
Long hair. There is no mystery to short hair.

Favourite T.V. Show?
Friends and now the Big Bang Theory.

First Band or Artist that you followed?
Maybe, Norah Jones. I have never followed anyone particularly but I have always loved her music.

It’s easy peasy see?  Now all I have to do is come up with ten awesome questions of my own and pass this award on to six of my favourite bloggers.

My Ten Questions are:

  1. Favourite fictional character?
  2. What or who would you like to be born as in your next life?
  3. Is there anyone in your life with whom you share all your secrets?
  4. What was the most embarrassing nickname you were ever given?
  5. Who is your favourite Friends character?
  6. Tango or the Ballet?
  7. Blind date or Speed dating?
  8. A home cooked meal or eating out?
  9. Favourite movie?
  10. Last thing you do at night?
Now, I simply love this part. I am tagging

Ian
Matthew
Hootin’ Anni
Grandma Yellow Hair

Now, all you have to do is answer my questions and paste my award. Then, feel free to concoct ten questions of your own and pass them and the award to six others.

A little time on a Tuesday...




I have started to sound like a one track record with my constant rants about being unbelievably, frustratingly, annoyingly, going crazy with busyness, busy. Nevertheless that is the sad truth and there is no escaping it. Sorry, if I have not been able to visit and comment on all of your blogs as frequently as I usually do. The only reason you are seeing this post today is because it was already scheduled in advance.

So this is how my Post it Tuesday will roll which I am linking up to the ever so ingenious Supahmommy…go to her blog if you find this irresistible and want to do something similar…

Monday Morning Madness...

Monday Minute

Following Ian’s checklist, creepy picture- one, Monday Minute- one, answers to crazy questions- five. There may be a new button from next week onwards so I would like to pay homage to this familiar and endearing image. Here are my answers to this week’s questions. If you like talking about weird stuff and are not conscious answering questions of a revealing nature Ian’s blog is the place to go!!!

1 - Ever take a shit in the woods?
Not in the woods no…but out in the fresh air yes. Once, way back in the days when I was  a wee child and visiting my mum’s native village and it was a village in every term of the word. I was merrily learning how to  swim in the stream when I had to do my business and my grandma asked me to do it there, in the sand. After staring at her for a complete minute to make sure she was serious, I did!

2 - If you won $1,000, what's the first thing you would do with it besides give me a cut?
I would probably blow it all on books, books and more books after giving you your cut though.


3 - What's your favorite phrase?
Out of my mind…back in five minutes. It describes me to a t.

4 - Fill in the blank - the world would be a better place if ______ left the planet.
Paris Hilton with her sickening smile and her ‘wows’ and ‘cools’ oh and dirty politicians too!

5 - How do you take your coffee or tea? 
I like my coffee black and steaming; better still if freshly ground.

Fast Forward to Friday...

Is Friday already here? Just like the girl in my story today I cannot decide if I should rejoice that its Friday or freak out at the total memory wipeout zone, that is my mind. I seem to have no recollection whatsoever of events between Monday and today. All this work is taking its toll on me, and causing me to age before time. Next thing you know I’ll be doing double takes in front of my mirror, making sure it’s not a gray hair that I just spotted.

To even think of all the work that I need to get out of the way before I leave for my vacation leaves me in a apoplectic state. I’d rather pull my nails one by one compared to the dull and slow torture that is my work, at times…no I take it back…I had forgotten about my low pain threshhold. Don’t get me wrong…it’s not that I hate my job or my work, in fact, I could not be happy working in something else. My work requires me to write, which is according to me is the most suitable profession for me. Its just that scary, looming deadlines and repetition takes the fun out of it sometimes.

Anyhoo, enough of my petty complaining. Let’s get on with the most important item on today’s menu which is my Friday Flash 55…To learn more about this or participate go to the awesome g man

She had gotten used to seeing him there everyday, on the same spot as she walked to the bus station.
She was almost sure it was her he waited for.
She was surprised at the feelings that she was feeling.
Should she be scared or excited that she had bagged her very first certified? stalker!

Have a great weekend guys!!!

Wednesday Relief...

I have been tagged by the wonderful Alice who I am absolutely in awe of, because of her beautiful poetry, to play this rather fun game where I have to tell you seven things about myself which you don’t know yet. I can see a lot of possibilities here, with this becoming a sort of a regular feature. For today though, I am going to stick to revealing the not so serious side of myself as it is a…yes…Wacky Wednesday…I could definitely do with some more of these…Okay here we go:

1) I fell down a long flight of stairs and broke my arm when I was small and, wait for this, my dad managed to stay busy with his work through the entire thing though he was present in the same room. And me being his eldest born too...

2) I was crazy competitive at one time and even pushed a girl off the stage in our annual day function during a dance recital because she was trying to steal my part. Yes that’s me your own Carrie!

3)I like the smell of gasoline which I don’t know qualifies as wacky or not but anyways.

4) I have to have all my things in the place where I last left them…I cannot breathe, truly, if my stuff gets misplaced. And, I have a LOT of stuff...

5) My nickname means knowledge(self satisfied smirk)…do I even have to say anything more?...don't you dare laugh

6) I can finish an entire jar of pickle(mango) in one sitting and even land up in the hospital for this so called feat…

7) I have passed out in the laps of strangers more than once…not on purpose mind you!!!

Now if some of you good people decide to play along with me all you need to do is post seven new things about yourself and pass it on to seven others. Simple isn’t it?

I am tagging





Have fun!
