Life and Stuff

I didn’t always live with my grandparents, but I began this adventure when I was 18 years old. I had some problems with my parents, namely, my father, so I came to live with my grandparents. I absolutely loved it. They were kind, they were loving but not strict, it was the perfect mix of love and parenting. I’ve been living here for about two years now, and I don’t know where I’d be if they hadn’t have taken me in. It meant the world to me. I’m planning to move out relatively soon with my son, and I know that when I leave I’ll be exceptionally sad, but home is where the heart is, and there’s no place like home.

I’m known for being casual. Whether I’m going to a baseball game or a fancy banquet, I’m always wearing something that keeps me comfortable in my own skin, which usually translates as jeans, a t-shirt, and my favorite sneakers. (Which happen to be what else? Converse All Stars!) Today when I got dressed it was no different. I put on my favorite ripped jeans (I can’t stand to throw away my jeans!), a cute white lace tank top, and then a semi-see thru t-shirt. Then of course I decided to go without socks because it’s so hot outside today, and threw on my favorite sneakers. Perfection! Well, if you ask me. J

Like everyone else on the planet, I have always thought about what I’d buy if ever I won the lottery and got a ton of money. I went through the usual dream items– a new house, a new car, money for my family, a huge investment in a lucrative stock exchange… but then I thought of a few things that I’d want eventually, even if I wasn’t a lottery winner. What I came up with was… a cheetah. It might sound funny to everyone, but cheetahs are incredibly tame and loveable animals. They are probably the most domesticated of exotic animals, and also the most rewarding.

Immaturity is something that went hand in hand with me for a very long time. It was hard for me to relate to people who WEREN’T immature… until one day in late August when I took a pregnancy test and saw a positive sign. From that very moment, my life changed, and my baby became the most important thing in the world to me. I found out in December that it was a boy and couldn’t have been happier. He is the light of my life and the reason I keep going everyday. His smile makes any room brighter, he’s such a beautiful baby. I can’t imagine loving anything , or anyone, more.

I learned how to do things a little bit later than usual children. I was about 12 years old when my parents decided it was just about time for me to get rid of the training wheels on my bike and upgrade me to the big kid bikes that all the other kids were riding around. I knew they were a little worried that I hadn’t learned how to ride my bike yet, so I asked a childhood neighbor and good friend how to help me ride a 2 wheeled bike. He loaned me his, told me to get on it, petal, and not stop. So I did. And I ended up running right into the side of a car and falling down. Long story short, I got back up, wiped myself off, and learned how to ride that bike. It was a lesson in independence.

I could never really decide what I wanted to do with my life. There were so many options available to me, but it felt like all of them had a little too much red tape. That or my patience didn’t hold up long enough for me to finish what I started. That’s when it came to me.. My lifelong passion should also be my career. That’s when I made a career out of nail art design. Nothing is simpler, in my opinion, and it’s just about the only hobby I have.

It wasn’t too long ago that I was going through a really rough break up. I was laying in bed all day long and sobbing, thinking that I’d forever be lonely. My sister is a lot like my other half and decided it was time to get me back on my feet, she says it’s never good to mourn over someone who isn’t mourning over you. So she made my favorite dish– lasagna. There’s something so healing and warm about a hearty dish. Italian bread and salad added to the ambiance of the perfect comfort food.. It couldn’t have been better.

It’s hard to find someone these days who isn’t blue collar. With everything that’s been going on in the economy it’s been a real struggle for a lot of families, and this recent oil spill isn’t really helping! I’d love to be able to blame it on the President, but lately I’ve been thinking it’s just as much our fault as it is the government’s. So many people want an instant fix.. And I just don’t think there is one. I’m sure that we’ll come out of it though. We always do.

When I woke up this morning I was excited, even through my sleepiness. I found things to do all day long to keep myself busy, and found it easy to get my mind off my excitement by eating a brownie and watching a favorite television program. What was I so excited over? I had ordered something on E-Bay and it was to arrive today… and it did! I could barely believe it, the mail took forever today, but in the end, waiting was worth it. My day has gone pretty good.

The most expensive thing I have bought till now is my laptop that costs thirty five thousand rupees. I love to write articles on the net and my laptop makes the job much easier for me. Hence this laptop is now very close to my heart as well. As long as I was employed I always had a high performing laptop with me. However after I left the job (which I was not enjoying anyways), I was struggling with my desktop PC for few months. This laptop has the advantage of better performance as well as the mobility i.e, the ease with which you can move around in the house. My writing jobs were also getting affected as my PC is placed in an open area. However ever since I got my SONY VAIO laptop, life has been different. With this laptop I enjoy high performance and continuity, to get going with my writing, when I need a quieter place in the house.
