15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • Two days back, when we were on our way home, from seeing MsA off for her school camp, we spotted this beauty! What makes this rainbow so special is – 

    1) the timing – when we really needed cheering up.

    2) it wasn’t a rainy day! 

    It was almost like, it was there, specially for us!!! Have a look at our magical rainbow 😊

      

    Also check out this old post about the other rainbows that I shared 🙂

    These two pictures pretty much sum up what I am upto right now-sitting cross-legged on the floor, sipping my ginger-tea, chomping on toast and jam and trying to write this post. Speaking of tea, I take my tea very seriously- it has to be the right colour- not too dark, not too white, just the right brown. It has to be boiled enough for all the flavours of ginger to be extracted, if you can’t taste the ginger, then what’s the point of adding it. If I am making a dip-dip tea, with tea-bags, then I have to use two tea-bags and just a dash of milk..just a dash, to lighten the dark to brown. Yes! I am tea-snob! There I said it.
    So here I am sipping my perfect tea, and eating toast with Jam- I am not a sweet-breakfast person, but today was one of the rare days, when I just had to eat jam- just a touch of sweetness with my tea.
    I’m back- I got distracted..with FB- what else? Yes, yes I am addicted! I tried to stay off FB for a couple of weeks, but came back on in less than a week. I love the interactions, even if virtual, I like that I can share my thoughts, and that there will be at least one person, that will say,” OMG! I know what you mean!”
    SP left for his course today and MsA is still at her camp. MsAn and I are still in our pajamas and have slipped back in bed. Its 11:00 am and still so cold. The sun is out, but still very chilly outside and the bed was very very inviting.
    I have planned a day of decluttering, today, if only I can be motivated enough to actually do it!
    MsAn wants to play Superheroes with me now, so, I will stop this post here.

    MsA is away for her first school camp..first overnight school camp. Its the first time, she’s away from home and from both of us. The last and the only time, I was away from her, was when MsAn was born and that was hard! But, most of the time, I was drugged or in labour, so time passed quickly. But this time, I am at home and its weird, not hearing her constant chatter. MsAn is alternating between being excited about being the only child at home, amusing us with her cuteness and extra cuddles and being sad, missing her sister.

    Its also SP’s birthday today and its the first time in 8 years that MsA is not with us. She made us promise that we will go out on Sunday night to celebrate 😀
    We did go out for dinner tonight and MsAn loved all the attention that we showered on her. Oh! And she insisted its her birthday and we indulged 🙂

  • I was busy, yesterday – so doing a makeup post tonight.
    I spent the morning at work, then gym and then had to get MsA organised for camp. She requested for a beanie to match her jumper, and I started making it. But MsAn woke up with a nightmare and I fell asleep trying to settle her, so couldn’t finish the beanie 😦
    I worked out with a new friend yesterday. She pushed me and I am sore today. The worst part about doing a lower body workout is, climbing stairs the next day! I am not kidding! My legs are so sore, they hurt, even if MsAn touches them!
    A long walk is what I need to stretch those muscles. May be tomorrow. But!! First thing on the cards is a long sleep-in – I am going to make the most of no-school drop off!
    Time to go spend time with the birthday boy now 🙂
