Nostalgia..

Just another dull, gloomy day and i am feeling nostalgic..

As a child,the old fluffy, warm blanket i used to snuggle with every night..The red coral earrings that  mom wore everyday..The anticipation that builds up every time the car turned into our driveway..The topsy turvy feeling in my tummy, zooming around in the swing..the chalk piece scribbles in the front porch..the hot butter egg puffs for snack after a long swim..bed time stories with grandma..Waiting for dad to come home after work..even the dreaded home work time..the time when the phone and myself were inseparable..the little love notes and silly secrets..

The grown up me loves the lovely red roses on my first wedding anniversary..The double lines on my pregnancy test..The first tiny kick and the unbelievable appetite that followed..morning sickness and my swollen tummy( i must be insane..)The first little squeak of life and the first look at my bundle of joy..The little ' Wife' plaque, a surprise gift from my better half, that makes me smile and feel appreciated, every time i look at it..

aahh!!the good old times..

Catching up..

Has it been a  month already?? hmm..where does the time go?

I miss writing.but sometimes, my brain just refuses to think..it goes blank..Writers block would be an understatement..Writers void would be more like it ..

So what have i been doing for the past month..Not exercising for sure..and yes, i did do the sin of gluttony more than once..
Cookie's school started..Had to dive head first into the forms and her school work..Sometimes i wonder about it..Who comes up with all these forms? A form asking for details about her grandparents?? oh am not kidding...
The next week it was rain non stop..A week of grey wet clouds..and just when i thought i'll never see the sun again..boom..Apollo made his entry, brightening my whole day..and the day being a friday made it all the more special..
Almost all my weekends i spent cooking for some very lovely guests..Looking forward to this weekend, without guest and some good old comfort food..and some exercise too..

Even though it was a pretty busy hectic month, i did have a few pleasant surprises..Celebrated 11 years of togetherness with the love of my life..We welcomed a good friend's son, Baby S into this world..He is adorable..the tiny hands and feet and his silky hair..like a little dolly..Caught up with a few classmate and the happenings in their lives..Thanks to FB..oh and finally went to the library..Ken Follet's 'Garden of Eden' was good..it was my first time reading his book..A few Jeffery Deaver and couple of romance books later, i almost felt human..reading keeps me sane..
 and so life goes on..
Until next time..Adios..
