Blog Hiatus

I have been soooooooooo busy at work these past couple of months that I didn't even think about blogging. Now I don't know if I want to come back! I don't know if I have anything to write about. Did anyone miss me?

The worlds of ZeeNotes and Jiggety Jig finally collided

Finally we got to meet Katie Z and Isaac this weekend! Katie left a comment on Tanveer's blog sometime ago and when Tanveer checked out her blog, he found out we have a common friend! How small is this world! I've been reading Katie's blog ever since. She came to DC last week with her son Isaac (Coolest kid ever! Really funny. Kept us entertained and was very patient with Raffae) and was able to come visit us on Friday. Here are some pics of Raffae and Isaac. They jelled instantly, as if they were separated at birth!

See how they both know how to pose for the camera!

Isaac shared his Gameboy with Raffae

Raffae was worshipping Isaac for letting him play his Gameboy

Isaac very patiently showed Raffae how to play

Rebirth of ZeeNotes??

I have been thinking about ending my blog stint for a while now. The problems are multi-fold:

• I have no time to update it regularly
  
• If I want to update it, I don’t have anything to write about!
  
• If I write up a post, it’s just BLAH!
  
• No one leaves a comment on my BLAH post, so I don’t really know if anyone is out there reading my blog.
  

Vain, I know! But I don’t want to write posts for myself only! That’s what diaries are for! I thought I’d post a “The End” on my blog and let it rest in peace. Two things happened today to change my mind:

• Simika left a comment on my last post asking why I am not updating anymore?
  
• I found a link to ZeeNotes on Friends and Daily Reads list on Tasnuva’s blog. Tasnuva, you are brilliant by the way!
  

Now I can’t let down TWO avid readers of ZeeNotes, can I?! :-P Guys, I'll be back with an amazing picture and a story to go with it very soon. Till then, hang on!

Love to you two for saving ZeeNotes!

Bored and brain dead at work

Katie literally read my mind when she wrote up this post. I don’t know what the reason is behind my blog anymore. I read back some of my old posts and it all reads like mindless ramblings, hence the new description on the blog! I haven’t seen much comments from readers recently either. What an attention craving blogger to do??!! Come on guys! I need some support, even if it is not 100% honest! Alright, how about if I make my blog sort of interactive? Ok here we go:

So here are the main themes of some of the things I am thinking about writing in the next couple of posts. Tanveer attacked by a shopping cart in Target. Zoya on American Idol. Making changes to our lives. Which one do you want to know about?? Leave a comment and I’ll oblige accordingly in my later posts.

Blog find of the day

40X365

Sounds interesting! I think I'm going to try and see if I can remember 365 names from my past! Writing 34 words for each would be hard. Maybe I will refine the laws a little! ;-)

Some random updates

• My sister is reaching Toronto on Feb 9th! Yayyyyy!!!


• I've become addicted to food blogs!! Doesn't bode well for my resolution of "eating well/healthier and finally loosing the pregnancy weight"


• Raffae is just becoming too cute now that we can really communicate with him. He doesn't throw as much tantrums. Becoming very managable(!!). Those of you that know him know it is still a lot of work!


• I don't have anything definite, but recently I just feel like Zoya is making a lot of progress. She babbles lot more (probably because she doen't have the pacifier in her mouth! She strictly gets it at night), she is becoming more and more active. No new dance moves recently though.


• I so want that job I interviewed for!!! They are going to interview an internal applicant and then decide! I hate inernal applicants! I'm just trying to get my foot in the door, but this guy is alreay in! That is just not fair!


• Next month, we will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary!!!! 9th!!!!


• I don't think I can finish reading "Shalimar the Clown". Too slow!


• I got a new laptop! I'll be downloading all the hindi/bangla songs I want on my iPod this weekend from questionable sites. I'm sure I'll be downloading some spyware too which would be driving Tanveer crazy! ;-)


• I am very hungry! Arthur (our intern) better be here with the lunch soon! ;-)

Help me!!!!

I'm gaining weight just by looking at these pictures! If I ever go to Philippine, I'm hooking up with Lori so she can take me to all these cool places!! Yummmmmmmm.......

De-Lurking Week

Hehehehehe! I hear through the grapevines that this is the de-lurking week and I know there are couple of you out there from my sitemeter report! So ..... fess up and leave a comment.

Thank you! ;-)

Ramblings on a dreary day

Eid Mubarak to you all. If you are on the east coast today, does your brain feel as foggy as the weather?! I had to drag myself out of the bed this morning. I felt like I was going to die. I had a splitting headache and my throat was hurting like it was no one's business! Feeling much better now after a long, hot shower and a big, yummy lunch! Here are some links that caught my eye in the last couple of days:

• Update on world's first face transplant recipient


• A Million Little Lies


• Found an interesting blog


• Another blog

Have fun!!

Update at 4:30: Just saw this article on MSNBC. Wonder if Oprah is going to say something about this!

Ten thousand blistering barnacles!!!!

Jellyfish! ... Tramps! .... Trog-lodytes! ... Toffeenoses! .... Toads! .... Baboons! ... Pockmarks!

Yeah! That's really how I felt last night! Mad as hell like the Captain! I saw Katie's post on myheritage and had to, had to do it for myself. I saved all the pics of the people that website said I look like and had a witty (!!) post all written up. Then when I published it, it showed up with a mile long white space in between the title and the post! Being the anal person I am, I could not just leave it as it is after trying for almost an hour to get behind the mystery of the white space! Anyone else had this problem? Any pointers for fixing it?

Post Secret at Terps Territory!

Scroll down to the email section!! :-D

Go Terps!!
