it's time for Pandey ji's omelette!!!! > : {

Everyone's in a better mood today : )

Last night, I had a dream that I was pregnant with a little boy. I was a little scared and my sister was helping me with my pregnancy. I think I was scared because the baby was right in front and you could see its hands and heart beating. My stomach was going in and out. Good things are coming to fruition!

A couple days ago I pulled out Goddess Aditi, the Goddess of thoughts from the Goddess Inspiration Oracle Guide. It's so interesting because when I was born my parents were thinking about naming me Aditi (my mom was also told to watch for the evil eye on me....I don't believe in the evil eye because after all there is nothing you can truly do when psychopaths are after you. I mean seriously how are you gonna protect yourself). I'm so glad they chose Anjali instead but that is now serving as a background reminder to watch my thoughts. I need only to watch my thoughts when they arise and not emotionally attach to them or identify with them. I am not my thoughts. I am the Silence behind them. To believe our thoughts is to start on the path to depression and suffering. And of course there is no end to that. #practicing Silence

homemade falooda w vanilla bean ice cream and roohafza : )

have to get car inspection done this week. these kinds of things are so stressful and overwhelming for me. but one must do these things unfortunately. 

I still have 16 bars of Dove soap left : ) no body washes left in the stockpile : ( 

vhappy to be returning the batteries at Rite Aid I was forced to buy yesterday. I will probably pick up some chocolate too. had a nice dinner yesterday night with my gf. we talked and talked and talked and drank. nice day outside maybe I will lay in the grass. #yummy gobi pronthees with lopchu chai and sweet lemon pickle and Advil for lunch. 

so me and my friend canceled our gig. for hardly any pay and the work it would involve (especially making us change how we do the sound this late) turned out not to be worth it. we're both getting our periods, upset, drenched in the mercury retrograde cloud and wondering why we aren't getting ready for dates. Instead we look forward to the phone call we will get from the crabby customer. two tears just fell from my eyes. 

I only have to take one physics course instead of three physics courses and a chemistry course for my teacher certification. the director reviewed my transcript again (gee thanks) and I just have to take the physics seminar. I'll be done sooner than I thought.

I got my teeth cleaned this morning after like five years. However, my front tooth, which I had gotten fixed, chipped again so I have to go back again. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do about my music because there is no outlet nearby in the campgrounds where we have to perform and no speakers and no extension cord anymore. The bright side of the situation is I get to stop at Rite Aid and buy batteries for my cd player because that's the only we'll have any loud music. I don't even know what songs I'm dancing to yet. I was going to do Alarippu but we'll be dancing on grass now. Not in the mood to dance today : /

having to search for songs on iTunes and translate them into a playable form at performances is such a stressful process for me..why do I have to reenter my iTunes card information when I already have a balance shown in my account..

With joy, I share that I will be looking for bidets this week. I can die peacefully now.
