Chak De India, Santa Fe and strange phrases

Wow. Its been a long time since I posted on my blog. APOLOGIES. What has happened since I posted last? What hasn't happened is the real question. My parents came to visit and despite my biggest worries and fears, nothing bad happened. IN FACT, Priyam and my dad have a great relationship which makes me happy. While my parents were here, Priyam and i went to Santa Fe to visit the historic city (second oldest in the US btw) and we decided to try and do a lot more fun stuff during the weekends. And so we have.

But more importantly India won the 2011 Cricket World Cup. For a better description of events, by someone much better equiped to discuss such issues, click here.

I have to say, watching my wife's ebbs and flows of emotions can certainly be taxing, but alls well that ends well. When Sachinky saw Sachin get out and Sehwag getting out for 0 runs before him, she was not too pleased (to put it mildly), but they were saved in the end. Alls well that ends well.

Just as an aside, any one where the American phrase " Its aways away" came from? Aways being something like "Its not too far away". I said it to the wifey earlier today, and she looked at me like I started speaking latin. Maybe I did.

Pulled Shoulders, New Jackets, Zombies, and Santa Fe

Last night, despite an aching shoulder, the wife and I went shopping at TJ Maxx, Ross Clothing, and Sunflower Market, and I picked up a new pair of sunglasses and a cool new jacket. Now, I've been looking for a new light weight jacket for a while now, and I looked all over the place in Albuquerque for something that was realitively inexpensive and is climacool technology with no luck. Finally, we went to TJ Maxx and sure enough, it was sitting right there waiting for me. It just goes to show that you find things at a point when you're least looking for them. Oh well, I've got it now and I'm mucho happy. Priyam was laughing at me last night because after we got home from shopping, I was wearing the coat while watching TV inside the apartment. What? I like it and I didnt have a chance to wear it last night so what to do.

Anyway, after doing a little google research, I realized that somehow while I was sleeping two nights ago, I pulled my shoulder or my rotator cuff, which is why it hurt so badly yesterday. Luckily, it was feeling a tad better this morning, so fingers crossed. No big deal really, just sucked yesterday not being able to lift my arm past my waist.

Maybe it has something to do with my constant dreaming of zombies lately. For some reason, for a bout a week now, I've had nightmares about a zombie apocolypse. Its not even the same nightmare, but different places and situations, but there are always zombies involved. So odd. No idea what a dream reference guide would say about that haha.

Anyway, off to Santa Fe for  work this morning, the GM at the hotel up there is being all aloof. So quick trip up and back for me. Hopefully it will be worthwhile. At least I don't have to waist gas and drive. Hehe.
