heyy... i'm alive!!!

well, it's been so long since i came here. wow! actually, wanted to come here y'day... but i lost the link to my blog. just today, i realized that i've linked it up on orkut... so here i am!

what has been happening? well, in no p'lar order... this:
moving. we've finally moved into our apartment. unpacked almost all the boxes *except the 3 with the books & 1 with some of the footwear.* and all except 3 bags. yes. all 3 bags are filled to the brim with MY stuff. i cannot unpack them yet coz i have to figure out where to put the stuff once it's out. sigh! i should really get to that, u know...

MIL. it's been a relief, as i keep saying. we get along as well as we did when we lived away. and i don't think it's too soon to say we like each other. she's been here a while now, after all. if she wanted to be mean, she'd have tried by now. but no, TOUCHWOOD. i have a nice MIL. there, i've said it!

work. things are moving at a snail's pace. and i'm thoroughly disgusted with that. i like things to move fast... shall do a post on that soon.

HURRICANE! yes. it came, it howled, it rained. Ike left a lot of folks homeless, water-less, power-less. not much damage here. we're all fine, thank u. our phone lines have died, tho. so if any of you tried to call me and couldn't get thru, plz note - I AM ALIVE. and i DO get VMs. *yes, galadriel - that was for u. YOU bitch!*
and yes, to all u nice folks who mailed/scrapped me. thanks. felt really nice to know that if i died one fine day, ppl would notice.
to you morons who call urself my close friends and didn't know i was hurricane hit - u have me to answer to!

blogging. hasn't been happening. neither me visiting nor writing. but then, here i am. trying to blog when i should be thinking of where to put my stuff! i do make feeble attempts at reading ur blogs. but i haven't got down to all of them yet. i will.soon. promise.

thanks for being around... if any of you still are, that is!

Pinku said...

welcome back hurricane survivor...nice to know things are settling down and best of all that you have a nice MIL doesnt happen too often that a DIL says that.

As for the stuff spill them out and leave them there...they will find comfy spaces for themselves...try it, it works.

Trishna said...

Ohhh Shit! I have been so preoccupied.. just didnt realise that you were in Ike's Path too!
So sorry babe..I am glad you are OK!

DewdropDream said...

Where would we go? And how can you forget your own blog's link???!!!! Should have asked me, I know if odd by heart :D Now go unpack, you have to pack again anyway, might as well sort it all out in one go! :D

Lena said...

its good to know you are safe, alive but busy :P
Take care, girl :)

Preethi said...

aiyeee.. I fit in the last category.. I forgot this time to call all my friends in that area.. Ike totally wiped out from my mind :( glad to know you are ok!! Knew something as small as a hurricane couldn't touch you {wink}

implodinginward said...

Fuzzylogic said...

*One of those moronic friends shows up shuffling her feet and wondering if she should even dare say a hi* "Sorry Raysh for being that moronic friend but I'm so glad that you guys are fine. Moving and relocating as well?Gosh I need to catch up on all that's happening on your side. Give me some time and I will. For now will a big hug do?"

rayshma said...

fuzz!!! i am SO glad u're back. this space has missed u too! and u already know i missed u! :D
u're forgiven everything for getting back here.
moving happened... relocating... well, not yet. dunno if that's happening for sure yet ;)

BIG hug to u as well!! :)

sol: shall cross my fingers till things get better for u too... and pls r'ber... u're always welcome here.

keshi: i agree. unpacking makes it "home"ly :)
but usually, i'm really lazy abt it! :D
reg my MIL, well, it's two-way traffic. we've both tried. and now we both like the other. touchwood! we do have our differences.. but heyy, i have those with my mom as well. end of the day, i know she means me well. :)
