There has been so much going on over here and so much changing soon. I wish I could say I was reading a lot, but it's feeling like a luxury at the moment.
Family visitLast week, we had my husband's brother and his wife drive down from Boston and stay with us for the week. It had been months since we enjoyed anyone's close companionship for that long so we all enjoyed the time together. We were very sad to say our goodbyes. I hope we can all return to the pre-March era soon.
While they were here, we celebrated the girl's birthday. (I feel like I have been talking about birthdays on this blog for the past many weeks but we are done for the year! Next birthday is in March.) My daughter had wanted a unicorn cake, and that's exactly what we got, so that made her day. For her birthday present, we wanted to take her to a store and get her a bike but stock is incredibly low. Last week, she had just mastered riding a bike (no training wheels, she went straight from balance …

I'm doing Armchair BEA - in a very passive way this year. I signed up but still don't have a good grasp on what is expected. I hope people at BEA will tweet what they're doing.
Sounds like you need a distracting, light book. Maybe someone will suggest one today. Have a good week and thanks for visiting my blog :)
Have a better week!
My son starts summer school tomorrow, so maybe you'll see him!
Mary, I'm hoping the homesickness goes away soon too! I do not have much idea about what the Armchair BEA is about either, but I'll still do what I can and learn later I guess, LOL!
Helen, my writing does sound depressing, right? I do need to perk up. I think I feel better today, but I'm sure I'll be in good bouncy spirits tomorrow. :)
Kathy, I do think they are related. Still, it's a weekend ailment. I guess I'm just sad that my two years here are soon coming to an end.
Ash, We should definitely go next year! It will be so much fun to meet in person! :) And if you ever plan to come to India, and I also happen to be there, I would love to have you visit my home and take you around on an India-trot!
At least meeting up with friends partly makes up for it :)
I get in reading ruts sometimes, too. It kind of ebbs and flows. Maybe Armchair BEA will give your spirits a lift and give you a bit of inspiration. :-)

Hope you get home for a visit soon,

*hugs*
I can't make BEA either.
I vow for next year :)
What's the Armchair BEA?
Cat, I am so glad that the homesickness didn't last too long, Phew!
Stephanie, you were right! Armchair BEA definitely helped in getting over my rut!
Sherry, Haha, I go through that phase too, when I read too much, but stay away from blogging!
Juju, I hope we can make it to BEA next year!!
