A blogger going by the name of N has been pulled up for
tardiness by her blog-mates. N feels they really need get themselves another
hobby;-/
Basketball is the new keyword in the N household. Except
for the better-half, nobody knows how to play but that doesn’t stop us from
hogging the basketball court. We are improving by leaps and bounds…..note play
of words here.
Cheesecake….I finally made one. And if I can, anybody
can….all u need to do is buy a packet of Betty Crocker’s awesome Blueberry
Cheesecake pack and follow instructions;-D. Yum.
Did u know Betty Crocker the person does not exist???
“She's not a person," said Marcia Copeland, the
General Mills executive in Minneapolis who directs Betty Crocker matters for
the company. "I repeat--there is
no human Betty Crocker.” I found out just yesterday and was crushed;-(((((.
Early this morning the kids & I witnessed the death
of a cat[hit by a car]. I was so upset & concerned how the children will take
it but they surprised me with their resilience. Finally they ended up consoling me.
Fruits & peels for the Christmas fruitcake have been
soaked in Brandy. Yesterday. Finally.
Go away, shoooo, shooo…..sorry about that but had to
warn away the pigeons. Just washed the balcony squeaky clean a week back and fully intend to keep it that way for another 3 weeks.
Hairfall is a big problem. Have mercy and suggest
solutions please?
'I’m so beautiful' phrase is now chanted all day long by Naina.
Nikita finds it really silly;-D.
Jaare….jaare udd jaare panchi ….anybody ever heard of
this song by Lata Mangeshkar. One of my favourites, listening to it now:-).
Kitchen door is temporarily sporting our front door
plaque making better-half smirk at me meaningfully. Ha ha very funny;-/. The peace message was
removed to make way for seasons greeting.
Library books have been extended for one more week; thank
goodness they let us do it over the phone. Lazy-bums that’s what we are;-P
My Mother-in-law is my favourite person these days. Last
week I received 4 packets of delicious duck roast and other mouth-watering edibles.
Not to mention the masalas, pickles and fresh picks from the vegetable garden.
3 cheers for Mothers Hip, Hip…..
Nikita is on a clay modelling spree these days. She
makes cute little things no doubt but I’m not too happy about picking up &
scraping off bits & pieces of clay from all around the house.
Olmost all the news I give here is 100% true…maybe with a few spelling mishtakes but olmost olways true.
Picture of pretty birdie I clicked last week. Nice????
Quick, look out of the window while I sneak off to do the next letter;-D.
Rabba Ve goodbye….my favourite serial on Star Plus got
axed because the lead actor quit to try his luck in Bollywood. While I’m happy
for the actor I’m so sad the only serial I watched is no more. I’ll miss u Arnav
Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta.
Special day note: 12/12/12….had grand plans to publish
the post at 12:12:12secs but it didn’t happen. Then I made elaborate
plans to publish it at 2:12:12 and that also didn’t….then I thought I’ll do it
at 2:21:12 but ofcourse….now I’m just hoping to post it sometime before midnight;-/
Tests are going on. Enough said!!!!
Units tests for the kids incase the above sentence didn’t
make sense. U can sit far away at Ur laptop and shake Ur head and waggle Ur
fingers and say “Not fair N, U are not conforming to rUles” but spare a thoUght
for this hapless blogger who has run oUt of stuff to say and wants to complete
this post anyway she can.
Vill the world end in another 9 days??? is the question I’m pondering over whenever I’m washing dishes. It’s sooo worth it if I never have to wash another dish again.
Would YOU like to take this up as a tag. Just thought of it now. No rules except all details you mention must be about what's happening in your life right now....alright current 2 weeks. Alphabetically, goes without saying. And with pictures;-D. Anybody can take it up. Do let me know if u do, I'd love to read it:-)).
Xmas tree is up. Papa put the tree up, mama hung the
decorations, kids came just in time to check if their stocking was up. And every
morning they casually walk past the tree & pat the stocking stealthily to check if
Santa has already dropped off their gift;-D.
Yet another year has flown past and I feel the familiar
fluttering in the heart……like as if time is running out on me……like a bird looking at the vast blue sky but unable to fly. My wings may not be clipped but my own doubts overwhelm me…..and
to top it I have no sense of direction whatsoever….unbeatable combination I tell you.
Zank U, zank zo much in advanze all of you zuper cool peoplez
for reading and commenting on this pozt;-D.
1st. priority.....
ReplyDelete;-D
DeletePromise that I commented at 17:17 only after reading the complete post :)
DeleteSo glad to see a post after this long. That too, how? in 26 little paragraphs, each in an alphabet! The different ways you think!!
But, but, why is the world so unappreciative? When a lil girl can make such lovely clay models, what is there to complain? Congrats on your first cheesecake. Hairfall is indeed a big issue, I am planning to bob mine.
Happy Christmas N. Pass my Christmas wishes to the little Ns too.
Ofcourse I know that:-)).
DeleteCompliments of any kind are received very enthusiastically...Thank U;-D
Girls who make lovely clay models will be appreciated more if they cleaned after themselves;-/.
Cheesecake was gooood....and sooo easy, try it if u are a cheesecake fan ie;-D
I so want to chop off mine too but fear the unknown;-P.
Will do, a Merry Christmas to U too RS!!!!!
Finally blogger N - got to hear from you. Actually was getting wee bit angry that you are not posting, but after reading your post, i am all smiles. nice to know about all the happenings in your life. Typical Nancyisms.
ReplyDeleteNikita is truly getting better at the clay modelling. truly impressive. like mother like daugther in creativity???
Christmas wishes and loads of love to you and family ( what if the world ends on 21st Dec and i dont get to wish you ?)
Blogger N was under the impression that she didn't have anything new to offer and so hung back. But after she recd a few pokes from her blogger mates she dragged her lazy errr butt to put up something. If she knew she was going to get such lovely responses she wd have posted sooner. Thanks Vincy:-))!!!!!
DeleteWishing U & family a wonderful Christmas too:-))!!!
Wow kya sahi wala idea hai post karne ka!! Wah wah wah taj! Seriously splendid. Maza aa gaya :)
ReplyDeleteMight take up the taggie for completing the blogathon ;) :)
But ofcourse u must!!!
DeleteWaiting to read it:-)).
Awezome awezome pozt!!!!
ReplyDeleteLAILA.....where were u, its been ages????
DeleteWhile doing the blogathon I was thinking about u, good to see U girl:-)).
Awesome post....I always used to say Xmas, until a few days ago when someone pointed out to me that by saying Xmas, you are taking Christ out of Christmas....hit me like a bullet, and made so much sense!
ReplyDeleteI have the tree up (first time for us) but yet to put on decorations....love the holiday season out here!
Thats such a beautiful thought Shachi....oh yes makes so much sense.
DeletePutting up the tree for the first time...AWESOME. I still remember my first tree...u knw every year we'll add a few baubles and decorations to the existing collection. This year I added 4 blue stars & 4 silver reindeers:-).
Btw forgot to mention, the clay dolls are real cute and yea i liked the innuendo in peace to all who enter being put up on the kitchen door ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah Nikita is improving & is even considering a career in it;-P. She's already got some 6 career options lined up, each more 'fantastic' than the the other;-D
DeleteHehe even I found it funny even though I scowled at the H when he pointed it out;-D
You're the second person mentioning 12:12:12... I did not even notice!! I should have planned something great for today.
ReplyDeleteThe newspapers were full of it...birth recording, even a death intent. And u knw there is a couple who got engaged on 10:10:10, register married on 11:11:11 & got properly married on 12:12:12 and dont ask what else;-D.
DeleteMerry christmas!..loved those clay dolls..
ReplyDeleteThanks Renu and seasons greetings to U too!!!!
DeleteAha..I was waiting for your post .. Merry X'mas Nancy!! And Luv to Kiddos..:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepa and a Merry Christmas to U too!!!
DeleteHey Nancy, just noticed the peace message cross on you door..you know what?? the same thing I got as first prize in my 7tth standard for becoming the topper in school for Moral science..LOL...year 1994 i guess...
ReplyDeleteHahahaaa...I have no clue where we got ours from but it was been there on the main door like forever...when we shifted also it automatically went up on the front door;-D
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.. I actually did not notice the alphabet thing until you mentioned again in the end and then I was like wow, only Nancy can pull this off :)...
ReplyDeleteThank U Anusha...wishing you a wonderful time tooo:-)). And thank U once again for the lovely compliment;-D
DeleteAwesome post Nancy!! The Alphabet idea is really good.. Would like to take the tag.
ReplyDeleteNikita's clay models are so cute.. she is really talented.
Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!!
Seena
Please doo...I'd love to read it:-)).
DeleteThank you all the wishes, wishing you the same!!!!
But why o why did you skip J? did you cut J into pieces and boiled it to make jam??
ReplyDeleteHuh....read again, didnt skip J at all infact I broke into a song at J;-D
DeleteBlogger N - why on earth do you get yourself all knotted up when there are tests in the air ?? Please be a good girl and study hard :):)
ReplyDeleteCharm of Blogger N's post increases as the tests draw nearer .........
Ermm....it's precisely because I dont really bother abt them that I feel that I must make a lot of noise abt it...makes sense;-P.
DeleteAnd in the bargain add one more post to the tally...u see the pattern now. A total win-win situation in my opinion;-D
Wow this as a tag sounds cool :P I have a lot of things to say and need to dust that blog of mine too ;)
ReplyDeleteLuv all her clay models :D
And baah! Pigeons on this side too :( And I and smithu talk about them so much on phone :P
Take it up Swaram...it's good fun, I'd love to read it:-).
DeleteEven Bins & another friend was complaining abt the pigeons;-o....whole of Hyderabad is facing this problem huh.
Enjoyed your post A-Z. And loved the deliberate typos as well ;P Nikita's Santa in clay is really cool. And hey, the "cleaning up" part is what I dread too! Fruit peels all soaked and getting ready for the Christmassy plum cakes?! yum-scrum!! Me-too a victim of hair fall, I'm afraid I'll soon go bald :(
ReplyDeleteFinally, this is a great idea for a post...maybe some day, I'll take it up too!
Thank U:-))!!!!
DeleteDeliberate typos mainly happened because post-maker ran out of stuff to say;-D.
Yeah for the Christmas cake...fruits shd have been soaked atleast a month earlier but this year I got side-tracked a bit;-P.
Tell me abt it....its quite a worrying situation. The water here is not good for the hair...most people have taken to washing hair with bottled water now.
Not fair.. I don't take pics all the time, but I am gonna attempt it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, does Lata mangeshkar have any eefect on the birds? Tell me, I am at my wits end.
Hahahhaaaaa.....good one, for a moment I was like whaaat.....;-D
DeleteCrap.. I think I spoke too soon. I read back to check out the rules n realised that it was ALPHABETICALLY. Crap! Crap! Crap! Oh what the heck.. here goes nothin'!
DeleteAlphabetically is the only novel thing abt the tag and u missed THAT....DUHHH;-/.
DeletePut it up anyways...or just tweak the beginning a bit;-D
One of my fave posts ever I guess, you did it so subtly yet beautifully -- alphabetically I mean :) Also, Nikita's clay modelling is just soooo adorable!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww....thanks Snow, glad u liked it:-))!!!!!
DeleteI dint get it until the end - I mean almost until the end... Seriously, screw me :D merry christmas chech...
ReplyDeleteloved the comment re. xmas and christmas :) I am never going to say xmas ;)
Awww dont feel bad...you were not meant to get it till the end;-D.
DeleteMerry Christmas to U too Sulo!!!!
Merry Xmas and betty crocker zindabad, never thot she was just a brand name :)
ReplyDeleteI knew it....I just knew there will be many like me who wdn't have hrd abt it. I thought it was my duty as a blogger to spread the new*N says pompously*.
DeleteHappy Christmas to U too Elizabeth & thanks for the nudge girl:-)).
Did you say 4 packets of Duck Roast??????
ReplyDeleteErrrr, what was the rest of the post about? ;)
*N throws up her hands*What can I do with foodoholics like these. I guess I shd be glad that the post got read till M atleast. Sigh!!!
DeleteHa ha... u r the sweetest :) btw, did u get my emails? n i also gave an fb update... its like Christ is giving me plenty of reasons to remember you ;) ha ha!
