Potluck Lunch with Funny co-workers

Ok, so my co-workers are just too funny. There's Wen who cracks me up with his goofy humor and I can't believe I 'get' it. He'll send out these random emails with a phrase he's looked up on wiki...usually these are 'All American' phrases that he takes too literally like, "I'm grounded" (don't ask) or the recipe for a Bloody Mary. He looks everything up on Wiki. We have a pot luck lunch on Friday, organized by yours truly, and I asked him what he's bringing. He said he has to think about it. Then at the end of the day, he sends a picture of 'crispy Spring Rolls', straight out of wiki i'm sure. Heck, he even looked up 'potluck' on wiki and pasted the deifnition to me on IM.
I am taking an appetizer and a cake. Both of which I haven't made before. Ah, well, its only the boys from work.

Half Moon Cay Fun

Knowing what the future holds

So, I've finished up all my work for the release on Friday, plus a bug or two more. Called home and learned that Preeti and Mama are going to Jaipur tomorrow to visit a jyotish/pundit, one who reads your birth chart (kundli), to select our birthstones to counter all the negative influences that our stars bestow on us. I'm not sure its a good idea to get involved in all of this...there are enough doubts and insecurities to stress us out already and we don't really need more to think about. But we'll see..............
P.S: The new Mercedes comes tomorrow!

Cruise to the Bahamas

What a fantastic cruise we had! We ate and swam our way through the whole thing, got tanned and sunburned, loved the beaches of Grand Turks and Half Moon Cay, the Margaritaville pool party at the tiki bar, the 24 hour buffets, the excellent service by the crew, the miniature golf, the poolside naps on the beautiful sunny deck...ah, bliss!
Will post some pictures as soon as I get a chance.
