TGIF!

It's Friday afternoon and I'm watching an episode of 'Mad about you' in which Jamie loses her job and drives Paul up the wall by being in his face all the time. She spends all day watching daytime TV, buys stuff she doesn't need from infomercials, invents chores that she would otherwise have never touched with a barge pole, and calls Paul several several times during the day. Somehow, the image seems vaguely familiar. Except that I work from home and I don't buy stuff I don't need from infomercials... I buy stuff I don't need from the internet. And I don't call Ganya without reason. I mean, I absolutely do have to call and tell him whenever he gets a telemarketing call at home, don't I? How would he know, otherwise? And I do have to call him when I'm eating lunch. And it's out of the sheer goodness of my heart that I call to give him the summary of that day's Gilmore Girls episode. Sometimes they are repeats, but that's hardly my fault! Ofcourse all those calls after 2pm are just to remind him that it's ok to leave the office if he doesn't have that much work that he is picking up my calls :) I'm not really all that bad, but seeing that episode on TV made me re-resolve that I will find a regular job, which requires going to a normal office and watching the clock like normal people do on work days, rather than watching TV (which frankly is not that much more entertaining than the clock during the day). And yes, it also made me thank god it's friday. Finally.

"And I have to live with a boy!"

I spent the better part of yesterday mourning the Colts’ loss in the playoffs. It was just incredibly sad to watch Vanderjagt’s lopsided last kick and see Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy mouth ‘He missed it’ in slow motion. And I’m not even a football fan! At least I wasn't, the last time I checked. I remember a time not too long ago when I couldn’t understand football… couldn’t stand football!

What living with a guy can do to the best of us!!!

New Year. Same old story.

The first day of 2006 felt much like the first day of 2005. And the first day of 2004. And I made the same resolution this yr as I made the yr before. And the yr before that. "I WILL NOT drink... ever again!!!" You know the feeling. It lasts for about 2 weeks... and then you forget what a hangover feels like and in a moment of weakness reach for that fateful glass of wine again. Another new yr resolution dies a silent death.

And then there's the other resolution I make every year- I will brush my teeth every night. In the past coupla yrs, it also includes a sub-resolution- I will floss every night. And I've been going real strong on that one this yr. 2 nights down. Just 363 to go! I know how this one will end as well... in roughly about 2 weeks, I will reach for that fateful glass of wine, get drunk silly, and end up crashing without flossing. Or brushing.

Then there's that eternal favorite... I'm gonna get fit this yr. Ha! At least no one can blame me for not believing in myself :)

Well this half-hearted post is the result of yet another resolution. To be good about blogging regularly. Well its 2 resolutions really. To be good. And to blog regularly. But I do know my limitations. So will try to blog regularly.

Happy new yr!
