good morning girlies :)

it's yet another cold and windy day here in nyc... megan, same for you? i can't believe we are still getting such weather this close to memorial day.. but i guess it's better than sweltering heat. can't wait to stand on those crowded subway cars in august!! i'm feeling mighty cynical this morning, as you may have already guessed.. mostly b/c my elevator was closed for basement repairs and my subway car got stuck while packed with the lights off. and it felt like wednesday to me but it's only tuesday!!! what a loooong week.

sorry i missed the DH party last night.. my roommate needed help with this website that she's working on. and i got stuck there helping.. hope you enjoyed it (and the smores). how was the 24 finale??

so.. as nush mentioned, ameya is coming this weekend. i haven't really talked to him so i didn't know his plans but sadly my MOM knows his every move.. (i guess she and his mom have talked a bit) so.. he's in long island all of next week (which is my week off) and then in manhattan from the following weekend till wednesday.. i'm sure i'll see him at some point that week.. although for the reasons you've mentioned, i'm guessing it won't be alone time. that's ok though.. i just want to see him :)

this weekend there's a big party at his parents place for all of our indian group- moushumi, vivek, etc. and families. my mom and another mom in our group are planning this little welcome home for him. it'll be cute, although i'm sure super awkward with all the family present.

so yeah.. i'm a lil nervous. excited to see him but i want us to hang out as friends when he's here.. and i'm worried that he thinks i want something to happen when he's here.. if only i could say that to him.

enough about him.. i picked out colors for my room last night.. and for the kitchen. now all i'm deciding on is the living room and whether or not i want to paint it. the living room (eventually!) with new furniture and everything will be chocolate brown, magenta, and white.. so i'm trying to figure out some neutral color that goes with that... anyone wanna come over after work and help? (i mostly mean jules since anusha will be studying and megan has too far a drive ;) )

what else is going on with all of you? for thought of the day... what's your take on elevator talk? if it's just you and another person in the elevator (and i don't mean a really cute guy.. just someone random), do you stare silently at the wall until your floor comes while fidgeting with your bag or ipod... or do you make meaningless small-talk banter with the other person till you get out? be honest! i'm curious...
