Back again at the grind. Will be seeing family I haven't seen in ages. Not too fond of some of them. Already the woman has a dawat planned and I must attend. My uncle calls us up and has the gall to ask my dad what kind of clothes I wear because the host is conservative and can I please come off the plane wearing a shalwaar kameez? Um. What an idiot.

I'm wearing a shirt that is semi see-through. Just to piss them all off.

Jerks. I'm beginning to wonder if...

Ok, just got back from the mall. All the new holiday sets are out.

So, after a day of lots of headaches, I get back on the plane (after waiting at the airport for 3 hours, because my social plans for the night folded and upon wandering around on the streets of Richmond, I started and scurried back to the hotel when a homeless drunk man teetered towards me, even though he was aiming for the trash can...), and the whole plane ride back is just ... full of events.

I connected at Charlotte - I was amazed to find how "hip" it is. I mean, its...

It's such a cute town. I took lots of pictures. Except gotta figure out how to upload them. Today was good. I guess. The town is beautiful!!!!!!


I'm here waiting at the hotel. Friend of mine was trying to get out of work to dine with me but I think she is stuck. Soooo I just called the shuttle folks and told them to come later. Now whadda I do?? I'll walk around in the city with my suitcase snapping mote pics I guess.

And I only stop over in Charlotte...

I love sleeping in MY bed.

Stares at the terminal walls.

It's 5 am. I am not sleeping.

This sucks.

I hate it. I have one computer whose CD drive just stopped working. Spontaneously. I put in a CD, worked fine - opened it. And then I go to take the CD out and it doesn't work anymore. I had to use the pin thing to open it.

And now, the printer is deciding to NOT print every third line. What the hell am I supposed to do with this now? I just recently bought a new ink cartridge for it too, and I have no idea how to fix it.

What BS. I have to get another printer...

There are so many educated eligible sensible people here. I can get a feel for who's an idiot and who isn't.

Why doesn't GS have a matrimonial service?? *Points to ringless finger*

My battery power on the phone is running out; left charger somewhere else; and I need to make at least a couple of phone calls today.

Good job...

I come home to find my trash overflowing. Roommate is trying to drive me away with filthy behavior. It definitely has not been changed over the weekend. The bag is the same one I put in on Friday.

Do I go to tie up the bag and my hand comes in contact with a dirty pad. And this is the kitchen bag!!!!

I f'ing got another ticket. More money, more traffic school all over a rule I didn't know I even had in place. When a police car is pulled over, while passing, you gotta reduce the speed by 20 and swerve over into the next lane. Never mind that there were 10 cars in front of me that broke the same rule.

Dude. I'm in debt. And this is just gonna make the debt worse. So sick of this BS. Because our government is broke after bailing out rich a-holes on wall street, this is how...

I'm giving up and going to bed.

Oi moti, bhara jhoom liya. Now it's time to face the music.

The drive is gonna be hot. We just stopped for some cold cola.

It's weird. I'm leaving and I have a gut wrenching feeling that I am not going to see a Cuban Cordadito for some time.

Woh Cuban aunty ki chai bhari yaad ayegi.

My temper is boiling. I could cook an andaa on my head.

I have NO PITY for an email I just wrote in which I quite literally, gave them the SMACK DOWN.

Friggin' crazy people. Imaan se.

I spent all day running around since 8 am

I'm just tired.

Maybe I'm being unappreciative? My life, overall, mashallah, is comfortable. I'm not dying, right? There are people out there with more misery than me.

I PRAY everyday that starting TOMORROW, the world will just be perfect every day until I die. That things will just work out.

I work so hard. And I, so to speak, keep up with Jones' in my work, but I still don't get the rewards that...
