Hi All, not in the mood for pleasantries today. I just happened to check on single friends and 'married couples with no kids' friends and they seem to be globetrotting. And..I am not. Three kids below 4 years on a plane , long distance ..hmm I think not. The last time i took the kids on a domestic flight, we had everyone waiting for us to evacuate first on arrival. Air pressure changes were just not for my darlings. It's gonna take us a lil more than a stronger will to plan our next holiday to a far off exotic location with the kids in tow. Anyway, more on that later. But for now let me round up my dream destinations:
1) Greece tops my list for its ethereal landscape and blue waters.
2) Venezuela - Beach bum that's me.
3) Singapore - Kids will surely enjoy this one.
4) Bangkok - for it Nightlife and yes to shop till i drop. (Oh yes i want to see the anatomy defying stunts ofcourse!)
5) Coorg in India - where the twins were made..
More from me later.
Cheers and yes Dream on.

Notes to Self.
Notes to myself:
1) Plan for an exciting summer. Hubby's going to be home! Woweeee!
2) Crunch the abs more than twice a week and not only when the personal trainer shows no mercy with the work outs.
3) Increase the ab crunche count from 50 to 100! Yeah, i can do 50 effortlessly..wonder why it doesn't show as much:-(
4) Paranoid mum should breathe easy at meal times. Thank heavens my kids are not obese! ( Paranoid mum wants to make the kids chubby but maybe its not such a good idea)
5) Pen thoughts more regularly, you owe it to the new baby - the Blog!
Before i go. A friend told me he is on a ROTATION DIET. It seems everytime you turn around you eat!
That's it for now.Will catch up sooner.Cheers!

Foot in the Mouth moment!
So done with what my GF’s karmic role in the universe is to do..and that is shopping, we moved on, to what is my favourite thing to do and that was to catch up on some more chitty chatty stuff while enjoying some delicious soup and chicken entrées. That’s all we could pack in anyway.
While at the restaurant my GF happened to see an old school teacher. I was as always enthusiastically waiting to greet her. My GF warned me about her certain 'Umway' connections but that didn't stop me, thinking, that at dinner she wouldn't be thinking of ‘netting’ people. So while my GF did the scoot and waited outside the restaurant, I went and said my hello and introduced myself, of course she remembered me, most teachers did and for good reasons, things I am proud of, mostly! She then asked me my marital status, haltingly asked me if I have a kid..i told her make that three..and after the disbelief (quite flattering) she asked me my number and invited herself home and that too for the very next day! And then it hit me in the face. I still live in the 80’s where love, loyalty, friendships even acquaintances were given their due. Here, in a world of churning the moolah, I was bleating like a goat waiting to be made ‘halal’ as my teacher not for the love of my kids (she said she wanted to see them and would come home the next day!) was out to get me on the ‘networking’/'multilevel marketting' bandwagon. My GF tells me later she has a chronic 'Umway' problem. It's just that forceful,strong,am gonna hound you marketting tactics that gets to me. Of course now, I am churning up excuses to avoid any further confrontation and I regretted getting myself into that avoidable FOOT in the Mouth moment!
Note to self: Avoid the call, no matter how rude it sounds. It’s better than lying through my teeth. What say teacher?

Mommy's day Out!
A feeling of almost attaining Nirvana was what I felt, after a long time, when I actually had a girly time out with my best buddy of almost two decades..yeah she is the only one who stuck around in spite of me being quite a prude occasionally. Well, and so did i..that’s what friends are for, right? Anyway, GF and I did the girly thing to do, we resorted to ‘retail therapy’ , tried out 10 outfits we did’nt want and bought two of them. The soul was just beginning to feel liberated. Minus the full time help, till some time ago, it was a rather TIME BOUND overwhelming feeling all along so this was a welcome break.
While at the store, we saw a really cute toddler. All those who know me, know that I can talk to a stranger like we knew each other for a long time so I got a lil goofy with the lil fellow, got chatting with his mommy and daddy and came to know that he was going to turn one the following day. Nice I said, Baby’s day out shopping for his mommy on his birthday. Seeing this lil bundle of joy, my thoughts ran to my three musketeers, I have taken them shopping with me and then only to have one or two of them with me in the dressing room naming strategic parts of my anatomy in baby lingo. I would hope no one outside would hear that and get all racy with their ideas. Gasp!
Wait a bit to know what happened next at an otherwise perfect dinner.A wrong move had me running for cover!
