Chicken with its head cut off


I've been running around the past 2 days like the above mentioned
chicken.....yesterday i put about 150 miles on the car and spent
almost 6 hours in it, not at a stretch but from about 7.30 am to 5.30
pm. To the spa, then to R's workplace, then back home, then to pick up
Tara (a friend of mine had surgery last week and is on bedrest, so i
am in charge of picking her kid up from school every day this week, we
chat all the way home to her place, its fun to have conversations with
a 10 year old.....), then back to pick up R from work, then to the
park to meet with friends, then pick up dinner and then back home.
Today promises to be another headless chicken day the way its
going.....my car has pretty much become home, have all my CD's, water
bottle, juice bottle and snacks to keep me busy on the wretched bumper
to bumper traffic clogged Seattle highways!!!! (On a side note -
people always complain about traffic in India, but I tell you, if
Seattle is anything to go by, lots of US cities are similarly traffic
congested. And Bellevue is the worst city! People here drive soooooo
slowly, i am convinced that there is a law that states that if you
live in Bellevue, you must refrain from driving over 20 miles an
hour!)
Anyway, today is Raga's big day - his co workers are throwing him a
big farewell bash at Bahama Breeze, and have promised to get him
suitably sloshed! THAT i'd like to see!!! In all of 25 years of
marriage, i have yet to see him completely sozzled!!!! He came
dangerously close to it one time at P2's house and started singing
Kerala boat songs...... Anyway, I will be there taking candid camera
pics....shall post them in tomorrow's blog!
