huff and puff and blow my weight down.

It seems like ages since I wrote anything but work kills creativity,that much I am sure about.When the phone rings at unearthly hours and its the boss on line,rest assured your day and week and month are all gone for a toss.Actually this ought to be the best time to blog but couldn't think of anything but work.Rather dull and when at a party,I look blank during conversation coz I was busy thinking of work,then for sure I have to climb back to being normal.

Whats normal I wonder.In my case it ought to be a full evening of shopping for goodies at the latest food store,but thanks to some well meaning friends who have conspired with the husband,food shopping is no longer on my list.They have done the unthinkable.I have been enrolled in a gym for three months.Heaven forbid I loose weight,it may become another three months.If that's not enough its an all woman gym so no hope of flirting or admiring well maintained bodies.Oh well it has its good points.For starters everyone is around 75 to 80 kgs on average so not to worry about being too fat.Everyone puffs and pants so again safety in numbers.Learning to use a skipping rope and run around like I did in school.Young chap (lone ,an in gym) is a task master so no let up in breaks.The body protests and cries in pain,the spirit is in two minds,but the friends and husband are not about to let go,so I dream of slim me in low waist jeans,chiffon sarees and all.Considering that I ve lost my appetite,drink green tea without sugar,have salades for lunch etc,I don't know myself anymore.Guess this is what they mean by the two faces of eve.

sms,chat and what have we

It dawned on me today that I am a fossil.I ought to be deep under the ground,transforming myself into a diamond but I cling to this modern world despite being clueless of its jargon,its short msg (hey I got that right) and all the rest of it.
It happened while chatting with a ten year old (behaves like and adult,thinks like one but is a child at heart) on gmail chat.It goes like this....heloooo (hello) byeeeeeee(bye but why so many e's,I think its supposed to mean something).K (what ever that means,is it his name or a short form for something else) lol (i would like to think this is lots of love but in mid sentence it doesnt fit in but shall delude myself) what lo (still trying to figure that one out.
The long and short of it is that I am now in the market for an sms dictionary and if anyone knows where I can get one please do call.Or should that be poc?!!!
