MM's turn

Now it is MM's turn to reduce his weight. Poor MM. He is trying every way. But, as the "Cooking Queen" is at home, nothing works out ;-) (No one is giving any award for me, let me give myself >;-)..) He changed from

Attractive cereals to Traditional oatmeal
Whole milk to 2% milk
Coffee to Black tea
Melons to Apples
Starbucks coffee ice cream to Carrot juice
Oil to Cooking spray in Dosais

All the above helps, but not to the desired amount. Still he could not stop eating

Crunchy snacks
In between snacks
Sweet
and he rarely walks or do exercises.

He is a man who lives to eat. But this attitude is dangerous for his age. He realized it and taking some steps. What i could do for him is to reduce the sugar, oil and other fatty items from his diet. Will update on his progress. But i am very sure, he will do it soon. ;-)

Boy???

I was in India and was Pregnant then. I already have a boy baby.. I got the labor pain and was taken to hospital. I went through a cross section and got the baby. Hmm.. This time too, it is a boy. I started to cry. Everyone thinks that i am crazy. MM arranged a grand treat for everyone in the family. I dint even touch the baby. How mean i am.
Thank god... It happened in my dream.

Obviously i want to have a baby girl. but if god's gift is a boy, i will never reject or feel sad for it..

Lots of trips....

After coming back from India, we planned lots and lots of trips. We went to Rhode Island, Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Canada(We covered Montreal, Toronto and the Canadian side of Niagara,) , Adirondack park , Newyork(In and around the city) and Nashville Tennessee(MM's cousin brother is there. Went to the The great Smoky mountain, Chatanooga falls). The trips were great. Due to some or other reason, i could not sit and write. All our weekends were busy with some work. Hmmm, now as we are hibernating at home, i should start writing...

We didn't even pay our cc bills for our trips ;-) , the next trip to India is on its way.. Now it is my sister's marriage. She is getting married during March 2009. So me and mm will be traveling to India during January 09 and MM during February 09 (Poor MM). Hmm, MM says that i am floating all the day, dreaming about my India trip. Obviously I am.. Its my sister's marriage. And we were waiting for this occasion for a looong time. 53 more days for my trip to India.. Hurray....

No. of glasses = 10

No. 1
It was before our marriage. Me and MM were returning from Thiruvanmiyur in his bike. We fell down and MM broke his first glass.

No. 2
Me, MM and My sister were riding triples in his bike and again we fell down and MM broke his second glass.

No. 3
MM went to Germany, leaving me in India. There he accidentally misplaced and chipped his third glass.

No. 4
I was Pregnant then. Me and MM went to Beach. Suddenly we started to fight and MM left his glass in the beach sand and forgot. Thus he lost his fourth glass.

No. 5
My god, that glass was awful. It was a thatha glass, MM selected it saying that it gives a nerdy look. whack, i hated it. When it broke, i felt happy. It was broken again in a bike fall.

No. 6
It was a decent looking glass. My sis-in-law selected it. It was lost, till date, we don't know where MM kept/lost it.

No. 7
It was a ditto copy of No. 6. MM used to keep his glasses in his car seat. And once he sat on it and finished its life.

No. 8
It was a nice glass. I selected it. Once MM kept that glass in a locker along with his wallet without locking it. Wallet/glass both got stolen. I don't know, what people will do with a power glass...

No.9
It was a costly, cute, lightweight glass. MM kept that glass in the car closet. Once me and MM were cleaning the trunk and mm was in the car. He was playing with all the things there. When we returned we saw the pieces of the glass.

No.10
It was a cooler. It was irritating to drive while it is very sunny. so we bought a cooler/power glass especially for driving. MM was telling that it was very convenient for him to drive with it. Two days before, we went to Brooklyn Bridge and there one of the lens fell into the water.

Hmmm.....
We were married for 5 years. And i am counting one thing along with the yrs ie the no. of glasses, he he he..
I came to some conclusion/rules after all this glasses...
1. No more Bike rides hereafter.
2. Only plastic lens hereafter.
3. fine 1000$ for any glass he break/loose hereafter.

Important:- No glass will be provided till the fine is paid. And fine should be handed to the lady-in-charge in cash ;-)

Toothache continues...

Yesterday i was talking with MM about my toothache. He was saying that i am complaining too much about the dentist who treated me. To be frank, i dint wanted to go to him. I went to him, 2 years before and i know, how he talks nicely while milking. I had no other chance to check my tooth. And also he did a bad service letting me nag like this. May be, it is very common for dentists to do such mistakes and not a big deal or the fault is with my teeth or i was highly opinionated(before treatment itself). Whatever be the reason, i feel really terrible.

Racquetball

To try/play squash is my longtime pending work.
I went to ymca last week and asked for a squash racket and they said that they only have racket for playing racquetball. No big difference. and got the racket and went to the court.
It was fun playing racquetball. No one was there. Being a beginner, no rules followed, no one to embarrass. Hipee just me, bat and the ball.
Yesterday, i took MM with me to play the game. The game was better with a partner. MM too liked it. Actually the way we play the game improves daily(as we play). Even now, i don't know any of the rules, still it is an exciting game. But poor mm, i had to leave him with the babysitter while we play. Next year, i could take him with me. He too would love to play(Actually any game).

Tooth ache

It is a common practice for people to do their tooth repair in India before coming to US. MM mounted a fake teeth and i did 5 fillings. Actually, all my tooth were fine before doing those fillings. The Dentist we consulted suggested(actually compelled) to do the filling, as it may create some problem in the future. I had my fillings done, the day before we started to US.
Two fillings fell the same day and i went to them again the next day. They convinced me that the filling dint fall at all. I told them, that i could see the carved portion. With loss of interest they filled it. Then i told them, that i am feeling sensitiveness in few more tooth too. They told, that it is normal for a filled teeth and they will be fine in a few days. Oooffff. Till date, they are sensitive and irritating me.. One full filling came out from another teeth last week when i was having my oatmeal.. Ooofff.
I fixed appointment with a dentist here and he told that i have developed lots of cavity inside the already filled area. Hmm.. God's grace i am covered by insurance here. Anyway, don't go to "RAMS Dental clinic" Kottivakkam ECR for your Dental problems. They will show lots of pics, video with an excellant talk & will nicely give a beautiful bill with a dirty service..

P.S. MM's mounted teeth is fine, but his filled tooth are sensitive..
