Busy weekend
The new year has started. Feels so fresh and crisp. I don’t know if the weather has got to do something with this. Feeling quite upbeat. So far loving the job. That may not last or hopefully may last also.
I am using the google reader so far to keep up with my blog reads. So I kept reading what you all are up to throughout the week. But couldn’t comment much. Had that all saved for the weekend. But the weekend is all over all ready. I am going to post my thoughts on week nights before I fall asleep.
We just finished dinner while watching the movie ‘Signs’. It is a good one. This weekend my sis-in-law’s parents came down for an overnight visit. It went well. I cooked a bit for them. We made those naan breads and some curries to go with it. It was a bit of work. Brother and sis-in-law are both have bad colds. I think I will mention bro as DB and sis-in-law as DS for ease. DS has a cute 8 yr old nephew who came down too. The boy is an only child with a stay at home mom. I feel he gets too much attention and correction. He was very happy to get to play video games and watch cartoons endlessly. DS’s mom was continuously bugging him. I felt as if she just didn’t want him to be happy. Not that she doesn’t love him, it’s just that she feels like she is right all the time and must weild her power. I guess I am overreacting.
Today morning they all left. Had a good lunch afterwards. I did eat a bit of rice but lots of vegetables too. I was planning to cook after lunch but fell asleep. Got up at five. Ran around and started a lentil soup. Then DS and I went to the supermarket. Bought veggies, groceries, magazines, yoghurt, watermelon, lunch box set, green tea and a whole bunch of other stuff. Came back and made a chickpea dish ( a bit like the chilli) and baked a dish of veggies. Then watched the movie. I am so tired. But looking forward to work tomorrow. That is such a welcome change.
I truly appreciate all your lovely comments and the kindest wishes. I wish the very best for you too. Take care, my sweethearts.

It is so nice to read that you are liking your job and looking forward to going to it! Can’t beat that.
I agree with your observation about your DS and the nephew. I know he wanted to veg and play games and watch some TV without having a mom type breathing down his little neck.
Lunch sounded good and I love rice and veggies. A bit of rice is good for us. You are doing a great job!
Have a great week at work
Hugs

Sounds like Ds needs to chill a little bit with the nephew. Isn’t that an Aunt’s job, to spoil them rotten??? At least that is what I do! LOL!
Glad to see that you are looking forward to work. If you like your job, that IS a blessing!

Cannot go wrong with the veggies. I am trying to really limit my meat intake to just an occasional treat. Hard for a carnivour like me
So glad to hear you are liking your new job…
You are right, the new year does feel crisp and clean, perhaps that is a really good sign.

THIS is the Ini I was so hoping to see! Last year I wasn’t sure when you’d make it back to the positive, upbeat, hopeful and loving-life side, but I’m so glad to see you here now!
I might have to get you to teach me some Indian cooking dishes like your chickpeas. We found an Indian grocery store recently and I bought a bunch of stuff but don’t actually know how to make any of it. I do have a bood by Madhur Jaffray that I’ve never tried…
