Camera Hospital

It was inevitable. I was waiting for it to happen actually. My camera had an accident...and had to be taken to the "camera hospital". It was really traumatic for me. I didn't realize how much my camera meant to me, until I had to part with it for over a week to be diagnosed and fixed at the shop. You can imagine my relief when they called to say my camera was fine....just needed a new lens. Phew!
Shibu has made me cross my heart and hope to die, stick a dirty needle in my eye.... that I will take better care of his gift to me.

It's official...I'm no longer a hygienist at Precise Dental of Houston. I have FINALLY started working for my dear friends at Your Perfect Smile Dentistry in Kemah. After a six year love affair, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I LOVE my new job...my new coworkers...my new scenic drive...and most of all...my new and improved schedule. I am so blessed to be able to balance work with mommyhood. I love the flexibility of my career. And look forward to all the quality time me and Sanjay will get to share....while daddy works to "bring home the bacon"! (kinda sad when Sanjay thinks Shibu is LITERALLY going to bring home some bacon...and gets disappointed when I tell him it's just a saying...and that we won't be getting bacon for dinner tonight)

and also...I finally understand what people mean when they say you "lose inches...not pounds".
I used to think that was a load of garbage. Until I started being a gym rat...and have lost about 3 pounds in 3 weeks. Oh really, Body? This is how you're going to treat me for years of feeding you delicious sweets and mouth watering Kerala food? Thanks for nothing.
But I think I look a little different...:)
my bathing suit doesn't look too bad...

that's right, folks...I will be sporting a bathing suit for our week long vacation to Cancun in March!! Our evenings lately have been planning and dreaming about our trip....even Sanjay is hype about it....:)

okay...the end...
except for a few cute pics....of course! This is my photography site after all!

Our very own Baby Einstein...

A pleasure to meet you, 2011!

Another year is upon us...and there are TONS of things that I am looking forward to.
True I am probably the most optimistic person I know....and why shouldn't I be?! 2010 was a fabulous year for me for so many reasons, and while I'm content exactly where I'm at...I just KNOW there's some awesome things just waiting to be had!!
So here are the things I've decided to do differently, better, or in a more fun way in 2011....:)

First off, I've GOT to lose the weight....and when I say i've GOT to...I mean it...
It's the doctors order....:)
You see...my sweet, kindhearted of a man, fertility specialist of mine...has been telling me, begging me, pleading with me to lose weight...:)
Oh you know, only for the last 4 years.....
So this year, my waging war with my weight...is full on!
This will be done with the help of Shaq (since he owns the Pearland 24 Hour Fitness) and Jack (my new personal trainer)...
And so with LOTS of praying and believing....I am doing this!!!

Next....we're doing an awesome family vacation....just the three of us!! We haven't decided where, when or what....but I'll be a scantily clad woman in the photos....so consider yourselves warned...:)

And...I'm hoping and praying this side business of mine will have some major opportunities!! In fact, I have a few sessions already scheduled/planned for this year! And I was so nervous after the holidays that I'd be out of business!!
And don't worry....I am committing to post WAY more often than I have in the past few months....I know, I know....you want more....

Keep visiting me here!! I get SO encouraged when I see my blog views number going up!!!

And here's a few of me and my little buddy cooking for New Years 2011....
that's another one of the changes I'm making...lots more experimenting in the kitchen...:)
ok, seriously....I already love the new me!!
