A+B=Materialistic

I felt a rug being pulled out from under me yesterday....you know that feeling you have when you thought you knew a person your whole life and you realise you actually never did?
Since I moved A (we shall call her A and her husband can be B) has not been to town so when I saw A+B out in public I was ecstatic to see her...and told her we must get together before she leaves again...so B says "yes we heard you moved and we want to see your new place" anyway this was reiterated 3 times in the 4 minute conversation....initially I was a bit upset that it wasn't me she wanted to see (am I not lovable enough *sniff*)but then realised I'm probabaly over reacting (I mean how could she not want to see me?) so we called them up and invited them over for tea and invited a few other relatives so we could all hang out (just like old times)
tea check
biscuits check
cake check
anyway they arrive and leave 10 minutes later even though they knew that other people where coming to see them.
The walked in took a look around said a few things...
"how much do these sell for"
"did you get it new"
"its a pity the other rooms are smaller than the main bedroom"
"how many bathrooms"
and then they left....what scares me is do people really change that much that they can't see a person for who they are but for what they have?
and do they realise how shallow that is? because at the end of the day you will never be satisfied if all you want is to have better than someone else!
I could go on with the "and" but the bottom line is I was extremely disappointed that after 20 some odd years of knowing a person...I was so wrong.

boundaries

WARNING : Serious stereotyping below
Today I heard something that made me come to the startling realisation that Indians have boundary issues...yes I know Im stereotyping (see Warning above) but seriously who asks questions like
"So when are you getting married?"
followed straight after by "do you have someone?"
followed by " who is he...cmon you can tell me?"
so is your daughter in law still trying? (to fall pregnant)
followed by "is your daughter pregnant?" followed by "shame you don't have any grand kids...."
"So what are you doing about getting pregnant?" followed by " you must lay down straight after sex...dont get up too soon"
so my conclusion for today is that many indian people lack the social filter that demarcates the boundaries in a regular persons head...but hey where else in the world would you get a 70 year old giving you sex advice...or a total stranger giving you relationship advice for that matter?
P.s. guess who got her groove back!!!

hibernation

I go through these phases...and sometimes I stumble into my hibernation phase....normally I would get home and call at least 4 people but this phase of mine doesn't allow me to do that, don't get me wrong, I will talk to anyone who calls me or visits (im not rude you know!) but I just don't feel the need to call anyone/talk to anyone/ visit with anyone.
This is usually fine because it lasts about a week and before anyone notices I'm back to my normal (chatty) self...the problem is when people start getting upset, how do you explain that you sometimes just want to be left alone? and maybe sometimes you really dont want to hang out with pregnant people or their kids without offending them because really its not you its me!!
P.s.this is the reason I haven't been blogging as often as I used to...I will get over it soon, I promise!

I have the sweetest husband in the world, admittedly it took a lot of pouts and stares that could kill but I can honestly say it has eventually paid off!
Its the little things that count not the red roses and chocalates!
one day we had a fight and he had to go away on an overnight trip, so he left me a letter on the fridge with an apology and even drew a bunch of roses!
the other day he brought me popcorn to work (and we all know what a popcorn slut I am)
and once a week I participate in a sandwich drive but I had a terrible flu and only got home at 9-30pm and guess what he was doing...making all my sandwiches!!!
I know this is not the most interesting blog topic but I just had to point out that I am grateful for my hubby...most of the time I just whine about him so I decided you guys needed to hear the reason I keep him around!

One day a long time ago I attended a friends wedding, and there was a "guy" at this wedding...who somehow managed to get my telephone number...bear in mind this "guy" was married with kids...so when he called I was not only shocked but disgusted as well. The "guy" tried charming, begging and even threatening to get my attention but Im really glad I had the confidence to tell him where to get off.
I somehow still feel an intense dislike towards this person and absolute disgust...so when one of the guys at the office mentioned that we need to set up a meeting with this "guy" I told him in no uncertain term that I would prefer it if someone else met with him...he was a taken aback by my reaction and asked if I knew him...to which i replied unfortunately and changed the subject. The things is why should I feel uncomfortable in my own surroundings? he is the "guy" why do i feel responsible?
"guy" read assh*le / sh!tface or just use your imagination and pick the rudest word you know!
