I have tablecloths for my wedding! And a tiara! And a basket for my flower girl! And cake cutters! And an empty bank account!

Excellent choice.

It was - and helped make my day a bit better.

I'm just happy that I was turned on to this place. Not much for great Indian food from what I've found. There's a place near where I live, but it's not super convenient to get to, and J doesn't seem to like Indian food much.

The naan wasn't all that great at this place, either. But as a first-impression, the food was excellent. I was particularly impressed with the saag paneer.

I have regained use of our garage as a place to park! Hooray, no more morning strolls to the car.

On this subject, I owe GC an apology. During the period when he lodged with us, on Tuesdays he was forced to crawl out of bed early to rescue his car from street sweeping because our two spots inside the complex were occupied by our cars, and the 6 guest spots in the complex were always taken. They do the entire neighborhood, both sides of the street, on the same day, so the only place he could find to park was in the nearby hospital parking lot which was not only 1/2 mile away, but cost $1.

Having forced myself out of our garage for a few months, I discovered....there are actually 18 other guest spots inside the complex that I was completely unaware of. And in those few months, not once did I have to park on the street as there was always at least one open spot. Even the night before street sweeping (although that was likely aided by the fact that the association recently amended the rules to allow us to park a car in front of our garages/car ports on street sweeping day...which also would have been nice were it in place while GC was here).

So GC, I apologize for my ignorance, and for my anti-social streak that keeps me from wanting anything to do with the people in our complex thus ensuring that I'd never have any reason to see anything that wasn't on the direct path from our back door, to the garage, and out the gate. And we owe you a few $.

Oh nonononono. No apology needed. You and CP helped me out in such a big way when I was in such a bad way. I appreciate what you guys did and could never remotely be upset at y'all for anything.



***This is, of course, unless you meant to type "GD" and typed "GC" by accident which happens from time to time around these parts. Which means you were talking to yourself which would further confirm the anti-social thing...



No, in all honesty, I wish there was more I could do to repay your kindness.

On the record, I'm pretty happy these days. Happy is the new status quo.

I got a full-time job today with benefits.
I just got the call.
Very happy.
I'm going to be doing development/office management type work at a non-profit here.

Did you ever verify whether the lion was painted on the blinds or not?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Heh, no, I never noticed it again. Damn.

[Gemini Cricket]

All this talk of Indian food is irrelevant to me. It's just naan of my business.
