9.00a: Open eyes slightly. Aw gosh! Its only 9.00a and its Saturday. Roll over, snuggle closer to the comforter and go back to sleep.
9.30a: Open eyes again. Aw gosh! Its only 9.30a. Wait a minute! Hey, its Saturday - I don't need to go to work. Jump out of bed.
9.45a: Make chai and take it to the coffee table along with the "marie" biscuts.
10.00a: Turn on TV. Watch Showbiz India. Man, that Tanisha looks so ugly. Uday looks uglier. Hmm, I didn't realize 'Karam' had a nice sounding song. God, is Abhishek really going to marry Ash?
11.00a: Bollywood news and entertainment quota for the week met. Grab 'Emma' and continue reading it. Mmmm, I like Jane Austen novels.
12.15p: Feeling hungry. Maybe I should cook good food *just* for myself.
1.30p: Eating chapathis and self-made dal, raitha & sabzi. I rock or what?
2.00p: Lying down in front of the heater, reading 'Emma'.
2.15p: Aaaah, I feel so warm, comfortable and sleepy. This is how cats must feel when they lie down in front of the fire-place.
2.30p: Now am covered with comforter and window shades are closed. Zzzzzz.
3.30p: Wake up with a start. Continue reading book.
4.00p: Make carrot kheer.
4.30p: Feeling very virtuos while drinking kheer. I know how to pamper myself. Wish I could only play the pampered part and let someone else do the pampering though.
5.00p: Hmm, maybe should take a shower.
5.15p: Finish putting away the washed clothes from last laundry-day which were still in laundry-bag, before going for bath.
6.15p: Wow, that was a refreshing bath. I *love* soaking in the bath tub.
6.30p: Drinking chai, I remember the kutti oil-lamp brought from India. I light it and feel even more virtuous.
6.45p: Feeling a bit homesick. Could do with some company about now.
7.00p: Finish looking at all the pictures from India trip for the nth time.
7.55p: Finish chatting with neighbor and get wireless network set up. Am using his wireless network and the speed (after my pathetic dialup) is just cool :-).
8.00p: Good net connection, good surfing speed - start blogging :-D!
p.s. I still have a couple of more hours to go to bed. But I am very confident that I will do absolutely *nothing* useful whatsoever in that span of time. Every once in a while, I simply love to just LAZE around on a holiday.
Heeheh :-). I realized that being absolutely lazy on a weekend is a universal phenomenon. I should at least try to get out of the house today!!
