Seasonal transitions

frontier_charm · Nov 4th, 2005, 04:16 PM

Change in weather calls for a change in awhole lot of things...from our moisturizers to our garb to perhaps shifting home decor.

1. Do you transition into each season with changing/shifting home decor? if so, share your nifty ideas

Recurring measures around our nest have included : playing around with table center pieces, window settings, paint, chage of area rug and usage of warm colors and a selection of soft fluffy fabrics to welcome that autum cozy feel.

2. Apartment populace: how do you deal with such "creativity" confines? and wat are some tricks you have up your sleeves that are nifty enough to pass by big bad management?

the only transition that happens at my place is that, the Climate Control nob gets shifted from the AC to Heat, and vice versa.

pleej everyone not all jump at once in replying to my very "home economics" thread.

lol. frontier_charm u might want to lighten up on the use of difficult english. this is a paki forum and these gals definitely did not go to berkley.

i dont even change the knob from AC to heat like sharaabi. cuz the climate control is automatic. it is a pain cuz i dont know how to operate it... my place is freezing in the mornings for some odd reason. oh i do get my bed sheets changed from satin to cotton in the winter.

peach i can always rely on u to respond. nahin it's not the english. i forgot to mention besan and pakoray...the buzz words u know

good so u play around with sheets. i like.

as for the temp. change ur setting to a set degree, which the system will automatically adjust to..and hence spare the morning chill.

Satin sheets...

Ammi won't let me get satin sheets

lollypop_man · Nov 14th, 2005, 08:57 PM

hahahaa... besan and pakoray the medical mysteries of these are wrapped in an enigma which i plan to unwrap someday. so will let you know when i find out pumpkin doll. the thermostat is complicated as hell... its apparently programmable by each day of the week and by hour. i miss the good old mechanical thermostats.

sara, why wont ur mom let u get satin sheets??? they are a must in the summer.

Sara516 · Nov 14th, 2005, 08:58 PM

I dunno apparently i have no right to enjoy anything until i'm married...

frontier_charm · Nov 14th, 2005, 09:03 PM

choice of bed sheets too is linked to marriage for us proud pakis. i love it. everything really is..besan and pakoray have nothing on this new conundrum.

apparently use of satin sheets is a lavishness/opulence or extravagance saved for the "marriage bed" in our culture.

Sara516 · Nov 14th, 2005, 09:10 PM

Darling, everything lacy and pretty and silky and too girlie girlie is to be saved for after shaadi according to Ammi...

frontier_charm · Nov 14th, 2005, 09:27 PM

sara jaan it's prolly best to wait for all that jazzy stuff and share it with mister dulha

...

lollypop_man · Nov 14th, 2005, 09:28 PM

no way... this is a shocker. i heard that excessive makeup was a nono before marriage for girls but satin sheets. thats just wrong ladies. what went wrong with our ammas.

frontier_charm · Nov 14th, 2005, 09:39 PM

yes it's true. u jazz up ur look cuz it's a treat for ur man. u jazz ur bed or bedroom up cuz it's where ur man treats u AND it's a treat for him. you see how this flows...?

it's a much deeper problem.

lollypop_man · Nov 16th, 2005, 02:27 AM

i hear you frontier_charm. our desi women sacrifice so much for their men.

since ur hot... ur welcome to use my satin sheets anyday of the week twice on sundays.

Sara516 · Nov 16th, 2005, 01:40 PM

R u two having a PM affair that we dunno about? :-|

frontier_charm · Nov 16th, 2005, 04:04 PM

Sara doll- kaash hum itnay khosh kismat hotay kay lolly jaisa handsome larka humein be affair kay kabil samajta

Why do I get a feeling that frontier charm is lollypop man buttering himself up?

As for the seasonal transition, besides the thermostat change, usually the thicker curtains come out, electric heaters for the basement cos heating just isnt enough, not much changes to the decor really.

saimanyc · Nov 16th, 2005, 04:53 PM

Well it was 82* here yesterday and I think today is also the same. Although we did have our pilot lit on our heater by the gasman, heat is off right now.

Sara516 · Nov 16th, 2005, 04:53 PM

Femme... I didn't think of that!!

Gosh I am so gullible and naive... waz it the "kinky" thread that hinted to u?

frontier_charm · Nov 16th, 2005, 05:15 PM

so the bigger question here is since not much "seasonal transition" takes place, doesn't your home begin to look dull?

p.s. Femme Fatale and sara . i'm no lolly man. he's a rugged gem and i a genuine girlie girl obsessed with soft leather shoes, sparkly charms and things besan and pakoray. i do wish lolly's lazy bugger butt would defend me and let the GS ladies know i'm a girllllll. koree,larki, chica
