What a Beautiful Surprise...

I LOVE THEM!!, originally uploaded by suitablegirl.

...this day gets better and better. :) Azhagan, thank you. I love them. And I haven't had any since my birthday, so this feels extra special. Even more thrilling? All the attention from people in my office (which is 90% male!), who immediately notice them as they walk by...if there's one thing I love about desi men, it's how they aren't afraid to be a teensy bit girly. The three brown guys whom I work with all stopped and declared that they were beautiful, and wasn't it "all soooo sweet", and "now tell us, who sent them?" with the same degree of enthusiasm that the women here showed. :D

From feeling taken for granted yesterday (at work and online) to receiving tulips "just because" today...it is all so delightful and welcome.

I'm a lucky girl. I am, I am. :)

Bday party..., originally uploaded by suitablegirl.

Wow, this blog has been neglected. :(

I'm consumed with work and my phoenix-like return to Sepia Mutiny...and blogging IS a zero-sum game...if I write posts there, I don't have time for anything here. But moderating those comment orgies takes a minute, y'all. Or several hundred. Le sigh.

Two things which don't make me exhale sadly:

1) Chocolate cake. It was "March Birthday Madness" at work today-- the collective party for all the employees whose birthdays are this month. Lunch of champions, I tell you. ;)

2) The impromptu FLOG MEETUP IN DC which is apparently goin' down manana. :D Ah, I can't wait for all the hugging, squealing, mocking (from Saji) and of course, the batatas bravas. Yum.

Pictures a'comin. But you knew that. :)

I've never been THAT much of a walker, except for back in 1999, when I commenced grad school and walked to Amma's Wegetarian in Georgetown EVERY DAY for a Mysore Masala Dosa before class. It was about a mile each way so I didn't really gain an ounce, despite my daily dose of greasy goodness (which included an addictive Salt Lassi before and a heavenly Semiya Payasam afterwards).
