Do we like surprises, well yes, most of the times that is. There has been something I have been wanting for quite some time, it is expensive so I just couldn't go to the store and pick it up without thinking of the repercussion it would have on our monthly budget. There was a couple of times I asked my Husband to which his response was well not exactly a No but non-committal , so I was resigned to the fact that perhaps it is not the right time or may be I shouldn't be too greedy. So I sort of gave up on the idea. That was until yesterday, when Pritish came home with a package and handed it over to me, I asked him what it was and he said, open it and when I did, I was completely taken back, the very thing I have been wanting all this time. 

I was at a total loss for words, I wanted to cry, and laugh and say so much but I was left dumb struck. All I kept saying was he knew all this while that I wanted it, I wished for it, He would catch he looking at it in the store but never said anything. He looked at me and said "What? Just because you do not ask does not mean I do not know how badly you wanted it. I just wanted to surprise you and see the look on your face; A million Dollar Expression." What can I say I did have the strangest possible look on my face.

He made my day and many more days to come. Yes, big surprises often come in small packages

Speaking of surprises, did any of you manage to catch the Netherlands vs Spain game what a shocker.. 5 goals for ND and 1 for Spain.. Who ever said revenge is a dish best served cold was so correct.. This was payback time for fifa world cup 2010 finals.. One of the best matches in a long long time. Oh wel otherwise weekend has been rather busy, social commitments, errands to run and what not.. More on that in my next post. Till then have a brilliant weekend 

Au revoir Mon'Amie

 

Day 8

Time: 10:40 pm                                                                                                        Roseville, Ca

It is always so refreshing to talk to your mother. Mothers have so much love to give and all of it is  un-conditional. Mother is a security blanket, no matter how old you are they are always there for you ( well I am guessing most of them are). Mother  to me is like a giant oak trees with deep roots holding us, binding us all together. She is   strong, unmoving, caring, patient, nurturing and ever forgiving. We might forget to do our bit but they remember and no matter where ever you go in life, you know you are always home when it comes to your mother.  Rudyard Kipling could not be more right when he said God could not be everywhere therefore he created Mothers. I have been very lucky in this sense, I do not have one but two wonderful mothers my my ma ( mum-in-law) and my mum. I feel twice blessed. Something I am so grateful to God for.

Anyhow enough of reflecting. Today's swimming class was swell to say the least. I am in my second day and I did not use a flotation device. I am so proud of me. This was something on my wish list for a long long time. I still have 7 more classes to go and I cannot wait to learn more.

Of other things, I need to sit with my Tarot cards. It has been a couple of days since I worked with them. This swimming thing has been draining all my energy. As we head towards a full moon in  less than a week's , this might be the ideal time to get the cards out.  Well that is all I have for today. Time to hit the sack.. Until next time

Au revoir Mon'Amie
