ohhh, my dorling bayboos..first of all it's Bapat, not Bhapat or Bapad :) and second, i haven't yet changed my name on my papers...but yes, for all other purposes i'm Shikha Bapat...still getting used to it!
as for pics..i haven't had a chance to upload them onto my laptop yet. we were supposed to fly back to providence from houston yesterday morning but our flight was cancelled due to bad weather. we were then rebooked onto two other flights to boston..the earlier one we were on stand-by and the next flight was confirmed. as luck would have it, we didn't make the stand-by but turns out our bags did...so our luggage was happily on its way to boston. anyway, we then boarded the next flight to boston and after making us sit on the runway for 45 mins, they told us that flight is also being cancelled coz of the weather in boston!
finally, we managed to get on a flight to newark in new jersey (which is about a 3-hour drive from my place) and in true amazing race style, we dragged our cabin bags across multiple terminals and just caught the flight in time. started the drive from new jersey around 9 p.m. last night...by this time, my recovering sore throat and cold intensified..and to top it all, i started feeling nauseous as well thanks to some greasy sandwich they served on the flight. so at around 11 p.m. at night, poor sud had to exit off the highway into some unknown hick town so i could puke. luckily, here you'll find a 24-hour mcdonalds even in the back of beyond, so the restroom there offered some respite from my ordeal. we finally completed our adventure at around 1 a.m. this morning...and i was in for work at 8.30 :P
so right now, i'm baggageless with a runny nose, chumming, and coughing like a sputtering car, all at once...and talking about car, my gaddi is covered under about 10 inches of snow thanks to 2 recent snowstorms..had to ride with a friend to work today. and oh yes, i came back to 1378 emails in my inbox (half of it junk, but still!)...so yipppeee!! and if any of you bayboos had the patience to read through all of my ranting, kudos to you my louelies for being my trusty sounding board :)
still grinning *cough*hack*wheeze*,
shikks
p.s. and my cell phone has completely died on me as well..won't even start up..using sud's temporarily :P
