SATC

Today I'm going to Ann Arbor to watch Sex and the City and go out to dinner with friends. I think I'm going to dress up for the movie. Not as crazy as the girls in the movie do, but probably a skirt and heels. We bought tickets in advance just so we don't have to wait in a huge line. Hopefully the movie does not disappoint!

What Your Little Black Dress Says About You

You are flirtatious and playful. You prefer a casual environment. It's hard for you to take anyone too seriously... including yourself. Your style is fresh and modern. You are often the first to experiment with new trends. If you were a shoe, you would be: A ballet flat

The Little Black Dress Test

I picked this dress because it looked the most comfortable and it looked A-line, haha.

The Saddest Thing

I was driving home from work yesterday down a beautiful tree-lined street on a cloudless day (Vinsetta to be exact). I saw what looked to be road kill up ahead so I stayed to the left to avoid it. As I got closer, it was in fact a dead squirrel, but there was another squirrel looking over it, with one hand over its own heart in grief, like it knew that its brother was gone forever. For a second, I was heartbroken because a great day like this should be enjoyed, but now it can't be for either squirrel. The way it looked made me think of a mom looking over her son, or a husband looking over his wife. It was the saddest thing.

Gas is how much?

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Mona and Sujith! (It was actually yesterday)

On the way home from work, the gas station that I usually go to because it's relatively the cheapest around, was at $4.09 today! AHHH I've NEVER seen gas above $4. And since this is the "cheap" one I can't imagine what it's like down the street or closer to the highway where the prices are usually jacked up. Memorial Weekend is supposedly the highest prices of the year in gas. Let's hope that still holds true.

Erin and Marc's Wedding

Last weekend, we attended the Hendriks - Sackin wedding in Port Huron at the Thomas Edison Inn. The ceremony was outside, and while it looked like it was going to rain, luckily it didn't, so the view of the water in the background was amazing. The reception was inside so we didn't care how cold or how wet it got outside afterwards. Above: The happy couple.

It was my first Jewish wedding and in many ways, it is like an Indian ceremony. In both ceremonies, we get married under a chuppah (Jewish) /mundap (Hindu). Both weddings have seven blessings read out loud and additionally in the Indian ceremony the seven steps are taken as they are being read out loud. At the end glass/cloth is broken/torn to symbolize good luck. At the reception the bride and groom are lifted in chairs as a symbol of congratulations!

And below is another happy couple!

Erin's Bachelorette Party

Erin's Bachelorette party was last Saturday. Lisa and Susin came over to help me decorate. With their help we really decorated the place well and baked an amazing cake! Erin was impressed with all the work and after dinner and cake, all the girls went out to Eden in Ferndale. It was really fun to go dancing after so long. We ended up at Boogie Fever afterwards for some 80s hits. Here is us at dinner at Papa Vino's:



Today we went to AA to see Matt's parents for an early Mother's Day. We went to a Thai place for lunch. I got tofu/veggies in brown sauce. Matt got red snapper in kafir lime leaves- very good! I also liked Jenny's sauce but I don't remember what was in it.

My aunt and grandfather on my mom's side are here from India. Matt and I are going over tomorrow for Mother's day brunch to hang out with my relatives. I haven't seen my grandfather since 9th grade so it'll be nice to catch up!
