I should start with an apology. The first quarter of the year is over, and I think I've only managed one blog post. But I have a good reason. Seriously. I got married! So in between planning two weddings (that's what happens when an Indian marries an Italian), buying a house, selling a house, and just trying to get through life, the blog has fallen by the wayside :( But now that it's almost over (we just have to move house and we'll be done!) I'm hoping that things will pick up, and I'll be back into it. But in the meantime, I think it's only fair that I do a bit of a review of what's been happening, using the questions from the lovely Meet Me At Mike's blog....
Making: Lists. Lists of things to pack. Lists to things to get rid of. And also lists of people to whom we need to send thankyou cards for the wedding!
Cooking: Not much. We've hardly been at home. Instead I've been spending lots of time at Tamil Feasts, who always send me with leftovers galore, plus we have two sets of parents who love having us over for dinner.
Drinking: Water. Detox imperative.
Reading: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I'm only of the very few people who have never read or watched the Harry Potter series, so I thought it was about time that I rectified that.
Wanting: Sleep. I am ridiculously sleep deprived. Daylight savings couldn't have come at a better time for me.
Looking: Forward to moving into the new house!
Deciding: What songs to use for our wedding video. I want some western music and some Indian music.
Enjoying: Looking at our wedding photos. I can look at them multiple times a day and it always makes me feel so happy! As cheesy as it sounds, it really was the perfect weekend.
Waiting: For the rest of our wedding photos. Unfortunately we will be waiting for at least another five months :(
Liking: Married life. It's nice :)
Wondering: What the Tamil Feast menu will be this week. I'm lucky enough to have a volunteer shift, which means I get to spend time with some awesome people, and eat some delicious food.
Loving: The fact that we got our first wedding invite addressed to us as Mr and Mrs Russo. It's a bit special :)
Considering: When is a good time to change my surname. I've already decided that I will change my name, however given that we have a lot of bank paper work to sign regarding the house transfer etc, I figure I should wait until all of this is over to avoid any confusion.
Buying: A new drink bottle and a new wallet. Both my old wallet and drink bottle have died, and it's a perfect opportunity to replace these items with sustainable, environmentally options. I'm open to suggestions...
Watching: Not enough. I am so behind on all my TV shows, plus I've added to the list of shows I need to watch. At some point I need a week of downtime so I can sit there and watch Grey's Anatomy, The Leftovers, Black Mirror, Big Little Lies, Riverdale and Suits.
Hoping: For another holiday soon.
Marvelling: At how we and our families managed to get through our crazy wedding weekend in one piece and smiling on the other side!
Needing: Time. We have been so busy, that we really just need some time to relax and do nothing.
Smelling: The gorgeous eucalyptus type scent of my Burt's Bees lip balm. I love it.
Wearing: My DeJour jeans. I love them. If you haven't got a pair, get yourself down to Brunswick and get a pair of custom fitted jeans for a ridiculously reasonable price.
Following: Lots of different podcasts about my favourite TV shows.
Thinking: About writing our wedding thankyou cards. We really need to get onto it.
Admiring: My wedding bouquet, and all the wedding flowers in general. One of my husband's cousins took the lead on arranging all the flowers and she was seriously amazing. We gave her no brief, no clues on what we wanted, and let her have free reign, and she delivered beyond our expectations. We are so lucky to be related to such talented and generous people.
Sorting: My wardrobe. I need to do a purge before we move house.
Getting: Excited for Easter. I'll be glad to have a few public holidays and hopefully some time to rest.
Opening: Emails. My work inbox is a mess. I really need to clean it out.
Giggling: Thinking about various comedians I've already watched at the Comedy Festival. I'm lucky enough to be seeing a lot of shows this year as part of a media team. I've made a point to go and see smaller shows, by unknown comedians, and some of them are bloody hilarious. We saw Jeeves Verma last night, and I haven't laughed that much in a long time.
Feeling: Exceptionally lucky. Life is good.
Snacking: On cheese. Our wedding cake was a cheese cake. Like literally, wheels of cheese, and we still have a lot of the hard cheese leftover. This is great news for me, it means I can spend the rest of my foreseeable future eating cheese and crackers with quince paste. It is not so great for my waistline though.
Hearing: The office hum. I miss being on holidays.
