have you watched TV lately?

is it me, or has there been a glut of ads showing women how to solve their bloating, gas, constipation, irregularity , etc etc problems.

why is the US suddenly obsessed with the ... uhhh.... regularity of women?? and what the heck are they trying to tell us??
its even more confusing coz it comes directly after an ad for hamburgers.

really?? activa. blah blah beano, and its all for women!! wat exactly are they trying to tell us???

:O

************
this part was supposed to be a full post wall by itself and it would have been called - why does my friend have 3 cabbage heads in his kitchen?
but mebe thats a bit too long. i mean really? why does someone who lives alone, find the need to go out and buy 3 std sized cabbage heads? ( i will not exaggerate, its not super large or anything, just normal sized)
isn't one good enough? this is just cabbage hell.

this is real life true btw. yup yup yup.

************

i am now completely integrated into my team. total intel person, team member. that's me. i look like a sleep deprived crazy person with my hair sticking in all directions.
and looking a little dazed and i'd blink in surprise if you pushed me out of the building into the sunlight.

************

yaaaaaaaaaaawn sleepy day at office.

hArd daYs aNd beST daYs

well heard it on the radio -
the script.
and i kinda like it.



its been a hard couple of days for almost everyone i know.
its been a hard couple of weeks for almost everyone i know.
its been a hard couple of months for almost everyone i know.
ok its been a hard couple of years for everyone i know.
sigh!

well here's to hoping the rest of 2010 isn't as crappy as the first quarter. and really if its just gonna get worse, then i can't take this till 2012!!!
u know... coz the world is just gonna end then.
:D

today even the security guard of my building noticed that i walk with my head down since the yr started. ofcourse its usually work and i'm thinking about how to solve my next thing on my todos or making a mental tally of what i have going on.
but since this is the second time, that someone has asked me to not look like i'm walking the last mile....

i don't really remember having carefree days, i guess i'm just not the kind of person to not have cares. darn cares!!
but then i wasnt the kind of person to be not smiling like a cheerful idiot either.

oh well till then we have music and mebe u should just go carpe the hell out of ur diem.

oh btw a russian guy sent me a rose today.

ok ok only a picture of a rose. but it WAS a nice rose.

honest to god, this was an ad on craigslist.

i have a few questions to my roomie. namely why are there 3 large cabbage heads in the fridge.
like seriously, wtf?? who's gonna eat all that cabbage???

puRrs LiKe a kiTteN

so i got my car serviced today. and after a reallly long time, it actually runs like how it's supposed to. in fact, to use inappropriate metaphors like Dan Brown, it's as smooth as dark soy chocolate milk flowing down your throat on a hot summer day.

ha! u thot i was gonna talk about K purring like a kitten. didn't you?? weeeellllll, i can neither confirm nor deny that rumour, and neither can i confirm nor deny the involvement of a large containment of chocolates that might or might not have exchanged hands for my silence on that matter.
oh ha! you'r not gonna get any info THAT easily.
but yumm these chocolates are deLISH!!

on another note. i DID get my car serviced, my ISP moved over. shifting is well under way. the total cost of me getting bored and moving out of my house is turning into quite a large number
200 to cancel verizon
400 for my car - ok its not really related. but i just like adding large numbers
300 for my tooth - wat exactly does this have to do with me moving again ?
xxx for new bed ?
xxx for new couch ? i wonder what's a good price. should i buy, shouldn't i??
aaaah decisions decisions.

i also signed up for a house on the ground floor. and all those who know my penchant for forgetting to lock doors, close windows.. [ mebe declaring this on a public website and one that's SO widely read isn't such a great idea.... ] wooops.

but i'm excited. finally moving to MY space after ... uuhhh lets see. FOUR years. well that took awhile.
phew!

and finally have a proper kitchen for the first time in my life. [ i don't consider one counter, or a kitchen that i share with other humans, as a proper kitchen. ]
only I shall rule in MY domain. :D
muahahahaha
[ oh that's just something new i've picked up.. my evil laugh. hillarious isn't it?? i know !!]

ok so. i shall set this house in my image [ oooh not pretty ]
and i shall set this kitchen to reflect my food habits [ which means bread, jam and pasta in the pantry? ]
and the living room shall be a sweet haven of comfort [ currently have NO living room furniture except for a floor cushion. ppl who come to my house, be ready to sit on top of each other on the floor cushion. ]
and the bedroom shall soothe even the most tired person who will be lulled to the land of dreams... [ i don't like the thermostat, so its usually freeze-ur-butt-off-cold-ass freezing in my bedroom. ]

so when r u coming home?

hAVe a niCe wOrK daY

things i hear at work on a normal day -

"i'm in the midst of resetting my brain"

"you need to internalize this data and come up with better answers"
< while i'm at it, should i masticate it too? >

"you need to be a go getter"
< no i mean really, what do you want me to do? just tell me wat to do next man >

"we need a home run on this and you should hit the ball out of the ballpark"
< oh good lord in heaven, we've gone to sports metaphors NOW !!! >

LearNinG iT in bABy sTePs

maybe I envy you. you with your smiles and charm and the ability to say the perfect thing. or maybe you even care? i wouldn't know...
I was like that till the mid 2000's. with the usual. "oooh nice outfit", or "ooooh nice wall hangings" or "oooh nice pulao, you cook awesome food".

with the being polite, and the constant lying. all the time, white lies to make ppl feel better. and observing more and more ppl, doing that and getting disillusioned coz it was almost like second nature. it didn't even bother anyone.
a white lie here, a wihte lie in their day and they didnt even give it a second thought. so ingrained in their lives, and nature's that it came out .. all smooth as better and so what if it was just empty words that basically was just sound to fill airwaves??

ENOUGH.

and THAT's when i gave up, turned around, looked them dead in the eye, and said ....
"ugh, i hate coconut. no i wouldn't like to taste those macaroons."
"it doesnt look good on you." and sometimes the "you look ugly in pink"
"WHO made that swan crochet thingy??? its hideous!"

whatever came to my mind.

ofcourse it didn't make me POPULAR.
it made me a social nuisance. coz i wasn't playing the games anymore. all the stupid games ppl play. ofcourse i had awkward moments. and ok i didn't lose my sanity completely, so i didn't say EVERYTHING on my mind.

but i lost that natural ability to be charming and say those lil white lies. now it's natural to me to say the truth. and THAT's dangerous. coz no one wants to hear it. not even me from other ppl.

and since i can't bear to take the responsibility for any of my actions ( :P childish and immature, yes yes ) and yes, maybe its coz my tolerance for stupidity is really decreasing to new lows.... i completely blame this on all the ppl i was hanging out for the last couple of yrs. continuous exposure to fakeness and fake smiles and showing fake concern, i think THAT's wat really snapped my mind.

and suuuuuuure i embarrass myself sometimes. boy!! do i!!
i dunno if i really want to be like you again. i'm not sure i want to go back to uttering those crappy inanities. what i really wish, was i genuinely liked those things or genuinely cared about it.
N was like that, and that's why i used to like him. until he got a gf and she tamed him.
zero social skills. its a surprisingly light way to live. where your not bothered by the layers and layers of complex social skills, that we learn from childhood, so we can be one of the herd.

aargh hate being one of the herd.

but once again, i'm just rambling by now.

so anyways, i'll go back to at least controlling my truths to myself. i mean who really cares if i think ur center pieces are hideous. u didn't ask for my opinion right? and i need to make it an instinct to keep my mouth shut.
and i guess that's the next step. sigh.

so much to learn, so much time to goof up till i do!!

oFfiCe wOeS

poor S. trying to make me watch some show on TV, or read it online in the manga format for the last couple of months...

poor S, doesnt know that constant pestering and insisting i do something doesn't make me more inclined to do it but in fact WOULD make me more inclined to hiss, spit and claw some furniture...

dude, really give it a rest. i'm NOT gonna watch a show that has 400 episodes and has still not finished.

*****
gosh this has been a long week. and only coz i spent last week on stumpleupon; god's gift to procrastination. :P

got my yearly review back from M who as u all have already met is my manager. after the usual complaints, that i shud do this and do that ( less procrastination ) he said one of the main comments he had was my written communication skills were poor.

..
..

< awkward silence >

..
..

< crickets chirping >

..
..

< me staring blankly at him >

really? REALLY? my spoken communication is good? and my written communication is terrible??

sigh... i wonder where i can go to learn some written "formal" english.

ps: the only official stuff i've written in a yr out here is my status reports which goes like this.
today i did this. yest i did that. and the day before i tried this and miserably failed.

*******
i wonder how he can do it. the guy sitting next to me, i mean in the next cubicle.
How he can go from meeting to meeting repeating the same information to different ppl. so much for being a planner. ha! if he had planned it better, he cud have said what he had to say ONCE or put it clearly in an EMAIL in "very proper formal english".

really i might just stab him in the eye one of these days with this fork.right this very fork thats on my desk right here.

aargh, go to a conference room you... you... planner!!

:D

*******
its sunny out today. and seriously! its hard to stay in a foul mood, when its sunny outside. and while i blink slowly and turn towards the sun, like a sunflower, just so i can soak up some rays. i feel a little less like a vampire.

^_^

yaay sunny days are here again. i don't care wat mother nature says, its officially spring in my book and i'm packin away my winter gear!!

wHy sO seRioUs

many ppl , that is really many many ppl asked me many questions about the wedding. one of them was -
"whyyyyy aren't you smiling in any of the reception snaps??????? it's ONLYEEE once in a life time [ well we don't know that, and while chances are that i wouldn't want to go thru THAT again, it cud be arranged.. mebe a second reception !! :O ]! and you'll never get that day again!"

well, the short answer to that is - i was reaaaaaaaaaaaallly tired as the reception was the next day and i didn't have time to recover from the wedding.

the long answer is - i was actually frowning in concentration trying to decide if i was gonna faint, and if i did, the best angle to do that. see, now when skinny ppl faint, they look all airy and dainty and fragile. when .. ahem 'healthy' ppl faint - that too on stage, they look like a sack of burnin hot potatoes.
and then i'd have to field the inevitable questions, and wise ass remarks.
"i hope the stage didn't crack"
"i hope the earth didn't crack"
"did we just have an earth quake?"

haha very funny guys.
yes , so i was calculating many things in my mind. there are lots of logistics to fainting u know.. right side, left side. away from the crazy person who just grabbed my hand to shake it. back at my seat? falling towards K is surely a recipe for falling flat on my face as he seems to be busy shaking random person i dunno #447's hand. hmmm..

so u see, no wonder i wasn't smiling in any of the pics.

iSnoRe

so you saw the announcement. for the first time i actually actively refreshed my pages every few seconds to get the live blogging and live twitter or watever updates. now as a technophobe , i don't generally like dpoing that, but in this instance i reaaally needed to procrastinate in the office and pretend i was working.. but not actually work...

so iPad. hmm.. can't say i really like the name. i mean what was wrong with iSlate? that sounds so cool.. like some transformer robot. but iPad? reminds me of my ahem... crazy days of the month. [ yes yes my period, can we grow up? ]

iPad. iPad.. hmmm.

oh well. it still feels like a mutated iPod. iPad.iPod. egad. its getting worse.
i dunno. after seeing the stuff that i'm working on and knowing a bit about the future of this market. i'm ... hmm.. not really impressed?

i mean its ok? but guess i just have impossible expectations. and this isn't gonna change the world or anything.
its another step. doesn't feel like a major leap like the ipod was.
[ can you spell "w-a-l-k-m-a-n" ??? ]

looks like the kindle is out. boy on behalf of the trees, i thank both the maxiPad ...ooops i mean iPad and the kindle for saving our lives.

ps: and b4 u start screaming at me, yes the title was taken from some random comment i saw online about the iPad announcement. aargh i hate that name!!

keEPinG a sTRaiGht FaCe

After years and years of brooding about marriages, poking fun at relatives ( yes including my mum ) and berating the system. now i'm a part of it.

and i always suspected that after the dooms day, i'd not have much to say.

well just as i supsected , hic, i was right.
i'm all out of.. hic, steam.

that reminds me of things that happened while i was back home..
it wasn't too bad. except for the endless line of instructions on how to sit. what to wear, how to stand, how to walk, what to eat. wat to say and what not to do.
it was a continous tug of war, between my free will to live and ppl who wanted me to be the perfect bride. a bridezilla.
yup the perfect bride is a bridezilla.

so i was supposed to take a head bath everyday in under 10 min and tie my wet hair up... to get a headache and ...[ hey! i paid close to half a grand for my awesome hairstyle. u show me the money, before i let u anywhere close to it... ]. but anyways i did.
so i was supposed to wear a bindi, wear bangles, wear a heavy chain and basically be a walking temptation to all thieves. so i did.
so i was supposed to be happy 24x7 even with ppl telling me that my husband would now be my god, and i depended on him for realizing my happiness. [ ok i did not/ could not do that, but i didn't hit them on the head either... so i think i'm even steven ]
so i was supposed to wear sari's every day. well.. ok. i did. but then they were like.. OMG, we can see ur stomach. HELLOoooo its like.. a sari??? and itz umm like HOT?? like a 100 degrees in here.. and helooo its my stomach. even u have a stomach. why the heck are you freaking out ??? heyy.. no touching me.. all hands off...you know shows less skin??? SALWARS or bloomin shirts and trousers... >_<... HEYY i SAID hands off of me!!!



so i was supposed to do this and do that.. and if not, the wrath of hellfire on my head. well mostly the wrath of this ONE aunt of mine.
and after everything was done.
"where's the flowers"
"what flowers"
"you are a bride to be. u gotta have half a kilo of flowers on ur head everyday"
so i did.

and after 3 years of living on my own, on basically being this social outcast and not caring wat ppl said i did and doing my own thing, i found it REEEEAAALLY hard to listen with a straight face and not smacking someone. so i HAVE to thank L, for being there so i cud vent to her. and for being my maid of honor kinds and letting me blow off some steam.

and so i walked around advising my younger cousin sisters to elope and generally trying to create other kinds of mayhem by not combing my hair like they wanted me to.. [ yaaa i'm a rebel, i refuse to plait my hair.. jeez man. haha u can't catch me.. ha! i refuse to eat rice.. i'll starve but won't give in. oh its the little things that make life worth living ]

but otherwise it was good.
note to self: never EVER get married again. or next time, just elope.

sWimmiNG wiTh tHe riGht cOmpANy

i don't understand twitter. i understand wanting to follow some famous personality through their day. yup i'd be interested to know wat AA had for breakfast and if i could have the exact same thing and feel good about myself.

ya riiiiight.

so anyways i kind of fried my computer yest. it started off with a virus ( i think ) or internet explorer. one of the 2. and i tried to fix it by installing something called bit defender. but after that my computer did like... nothing for an hour.. so then i tried to delete symantic.. and a bunch of other stuff. and my computer .. like crashed a couple of times... there was some ... swearing and some ppl got a lil upset ( me )
and finally i ended up doing something after which my desktop does not show up. neither does the taskbar or the quick launch. and then i tried somethign and now i think i deleted the network drivers.

what i REALLY think happened is that symantic and bit defender were having all out war and they fried my computer from the inside. had nothing to do with me going and removing files willy nilly.
oh no no no , not at all.

anyways its a good excuse for me to get ubuntu on my comp.



note to self: swimming with dolphins, sillhoutte. i just like the name of the group coz i want to swim with dolphins too.

sALtY sHorEs

note to self : saltwater room, owl city
nice lyrics.

saw a movie yest. ok i admit it i'm like REALLY behind on my movies.
luck by chance. interesting. its nice to see such movies if only for the fact that they're experimenting. and they found a realistic way of introducing songs into the movie, other than the usual dreaming sequence and sudden cuts away from the story line.

right now i'm thinking that i'm glad i haven't gotten into the habit of calling K , hubby. the word is too close to chubby and dubby. and really.. why wud u put someone u actually like through the embarrassment of being called "Hubby" in public?

i'm thinking i'm also glad that i don't call him "pooh bear"....
seems to be there's a lot i can be thankful for.. and it looks like K has even MORE to be thankful for.
;P

NeW wiSHes aRe ThE sAme WisHeS

yes yes i know i'm supposed to be wishing you a happy new yr.

i'm supposed to be doing a lot of other stuff too. like writing my '10 goals and writing this driver software thingy so that the other thingy works.

and i'm supposed to be finding some stuff i really really want, online. like a second hand guitar. < hint hint to anyone who wants to buy me a second hand guitar, here is my address... oh shush u know you'd like free stuff too >

but i don't want to specifically wish you a happy new yr. thats kind of like saying i wish all the ppl i don't know an especially crappy new yr. i mean why can't i just say, i wish the whole world a happy new yr and go back to sleep? makes it a lot simpler doesn't it.

pffft OFCOURSE i'm rambling coz i'm trying to find a way to kill time at work, after i'm done for the day.
get back to watever ur supposed to be doing willya?

oh and i guess i wish you an ecstatic new yr [ just cz u read till here :P ]

i HavE sToPpeD pOsTinG foR tHe paST seVEraL weEkS

laments a true fan....

true true. and while anything i say will just sound like a soppy bunch of excuses [ bunch of soppy excuses? ] , it IS true that the weather has been very very dreary, and i seem to be competing with local bears on how much more sleep time i can clock this winter ( 15 16 14 15.5 hours this last 4 days ).
Even actually managed to weather some pounding on the door from concerned roommate, several calls from ppl wanting to know wat i'm up to [ i'm SLEEPING. now go away ] and missed mealtimes. if that doesn't make me an hororary Oregonian bear, i don't know what will.

meanwhile on the topic of the climate, we have blah.. and just more blah heading towards us for the next 4 months. i toy with the idea of going to the coast to storm watch, even toy with the idea of setting off towards the west till i hit the coast and just throwing myself over [ for the sheer heck of it ].

on the wedding front. like i said last time , a whole bunch of ppl asking me how the wedding was. [ seriously? i've just blocked it from my mind as a traumatic experience. ]
i also made myself highly unpopular by grabbing hold of passing by younger cousins , looking at them with a crazed look in my eye and screaming at them "when its ur turn, for the Love of GOD, ELOPE. run like the wind when they come for you!!! aargh" this was right before they dragged me through another long and leg cramping ritual.

i also did my best to whine, sulk and in-general make my husband's life miserable during the process. just as a precursor to how his life wud be for the next 50 yrs... [ hey u drag me through 40 districts to various places in 2 weeks, i'll just return the favor and make it as unpleasant a journey as possible ]
so we have one month down and 49 years 11 months more of annoying-my-husband-out-of-his-wits-days to go. yaaay!!

aaah marriage... fun....

well so back to the India trip. i didn't keep notes and everything is now just a hazy blur... so i can't tell for sure.. but ofcourse there was drama. ofcourse there was an epic journey leaving tirumala, hours before a total Andhra meltdown, being sick ON that journey and being very filmy about it. and ofcourse there was suspense and comedy and drama and some women got all senti and cried in the wedding. [ i've heard women do that. get emotional i mean ] and ofcourse i almost cried too [ when they removed my headgear, i cud have wept for joy at the sheer relief of it ]

and ofcourse there are pics. and more pics and gifts and wierd pranks that cousins tried to play on us, and flopped unfortunately. [ for them i mean. i mean whoever heard of talcum powder over a fan. that thing disappeared like fairy dust dood ]

then there was the journey back. which was like some purgatory punishment from God, for HE knows wat reason. we stayed back in the darn airport for 24 hrs , i'm sorry am i repeating myself? well watever we got back.

and then i slept for a week and got up 8 days later.

ooooh i never told you bout my crazy uncle's one who dressed up as a very good looking transvestite and the other in a burkha and came to the wedding reception and freaked quite some ppl out. now we know where the crazy gene's come from.
that was fun!

tHe gReAT iNdiAn weDdiNg

well its almost done. i can see the finishing line. and as the dust of the past few days settles, i look back at amazement at all the travelling/ eating/ meeting and greeting that i've done.

and yes, i've been getting the questions, how is married life. when is the wedding ( its been 10 days AFTER the wedding ) , how is it being happily-married, how is s*x, how is... the great indian tradition of asking questions. of asking wierd questions, embarrassing questions, of funny , mundane, leading questions.

and the great indian tradition of eating. eating eating eating, feeding and eating.

well the wedding was good. chaos as only i cud make it. i was confused & dazed as only i cud be.
and mebe i surprised more ppl than u or i cud count, bout how disinterested i was in some aspects of the wedding. like the eating part. and the dressing up in 3 kgs of gold for a week after the wedding part.

but i'm just being a whiner. it wasnt all that bad. i'm sure there were plenty of fun moments... umm... gimme a min while i try to rem.
:P

oh ya. there are stories, and a good lot of posts after today are gonna be updates on the stories. and mebe i shud start at the very beginning so i dont miss stuff. but then i suspect my true nature is gonna takeover and its gonna be a hodgepodge mix anyways..

but trust me. the stories when they're finally out... they're gud ;P

dOiNG iT riGhT

they shudnt have put me in charge. i mean i really am not the best person to be doing this.. but ya... ur right.. it IS my wedding...

but wat can u do, when ppl tell u so sorrowfully that they can't make it.
heyy, dude its totally ok. i mean have you ever attended one of our weddings. can you SPELL B-O-R-I-N-G??

well if ur coming u better come with ur posse....thats the only way u'd ever have any fun. and also that cask of blue gin rum watever.
now even though I know everyone there, I'M reconsidering attending. shhhhhhhh don't tell the groom.

but ya. so here it is. it's my wedding. yaaay. ^_^ and i'm inviting ppl. friends. yada yada yada. and some of them really can't come, u know.. and i started turning into a classic bridezilla and sulking, but then i think to myself.... come ON. this person doesnt even KNOW anyone else in the wedding party. they will be SO TOTALLY bored. so mebe we shud have this las vegas party thing after all.. but then half my friends are teetotallers.. gaaah

lets think about it next yr.

here. i'm getting married on dec 2. see if u can make it. and if not, i'll see u around?

tHe fATs iN tHe fiRe

well... ahem... yeah.


yeah... u probably already heard.

hmm well ... i meant to tell you. i mean i thot i did. didn't i??

yeah i know i know i've been very tardy.. and really busy.. no no i havent been blogging someplace else. i mean i cud hardly betray u that way, cud i? wat do u take me for??
yeah i know i haven't been around. but i promise, its all gonna be different now!!

well anyways, here's what i've been working on, all this while.... and really!! u gotta believe me, when i say it took me 2 months to recover from the brain damage caused by someone visiting me.. staying with me... driving me literally up the walls....
:P

but see here!! what i got!!
the most exciting link of em all !!
New and exciting info

so consider urself invited. and mebe we've never met. and as long as u promise to play nicely, with the rest of the ppl there, u can come too ^_^

yaay. it feels good to be back!!

iF yOu haVEn'T heArD

so...
watsup..

looks like my creative spell has passed. u noticed it too???
ever since a certain someone landed on this continent say.. oh i dunno.. like 1.5 months ago???
i haven't been writing so much??

coz u know..office has been busy. and at home, then certain ppl insist on reading this and then u know... uhhhh.. like THAT's not happening... not like when i'm still alive .. and kicking... i mean its not like i'm 7 again and i write on the first page of my journal.. my personal journal mind you.. that 'WHOEVER READS THIS IS A DOG'
and yet ... this certain someone [ how pesky ] person will read it. and since i knew that this someone would read it, i spent the next 40 pages writing how bad this person was and how much like a witch in wizard of Oz and cruella from the little mermaid cartoon.. and so on.. but its not like those days u know..
and this time i got passwords and stuff... to protect myself :D

but other than that, uve noticed it too?? huh. the lack of posts these couple of months? well partly its coz its summer. and partly its coz i've been running around a lot.

ooooh did i tell you how awesome crater lake was??? ooooh it was AWESOME.
and so was the top of multnomah falls. u shud def go there if ur ever in this part of town!!

For that hour after lunch when you're sleepy and bored

oh buck up. winter is almost here. and the blog will be up and running full speed again very soon, when this certain someone leaves on the ... well lets just say very soon. and soon the insanity that is the wedding will start.. and soon you'll end up hearing all about how i have to wear freaky head gear on a day that now looks to be not a day for me at all.....

oh btw reminder to self. gotta give an Ankur 3 min talk tomoro. at this fund raiser.

LosiNG yOuRseLf

i'll admit. i've lost a lot of things. phones, watches, spectacles, myself.
now dang it. i've gone and done it. i've lost my mother.

well so here's the thing. we were supposed to go on a walk see?
and she wanted to walk slow. meander almost and i wanted to test my new awesome seinheiser headphones. see?
and so we agreed. we agreed that in some time i'd meet her near this bench.
and we went in opp directions.

and an hour later, i come back and ofcourse she's not there. and i'm like yeah... i'll just wait here and she'll be along any second. and yet she's not here. so i think.. hmm mebe if i follow the path she took, i'll find her. and i go.. and i keep going and i complete her mile and by now i'm exhausted and i'm thinking to myself. gosh i know, just know where she is, she's gone back home and its getting dark and i daren't go back without her.. and i wonder if i should be calling 911... hmmm and i wonder if she's lost and wandering around by herself..hey wait isn't that her out there?? coming from my house???
i KNEW IT. she HAD gone home and was EATING HER DINNER!!

and i've been wandering around for the last 45 minutes searching for her !!
