So I have realised that finding a job in Chi-town for someone with my background is really tough. I wish we lived in DC or NoVA but moving is not an option at this point. So I am at crossroads trying to find out something else I would be interested in doing. So I am linking all over and have discovered Linkedin to be a good place to start out. I have done some groundwork reaching out to the nearby community college for some assistance. I have a lot of work ahead of me in landing myself a job. ” I will enjoy the process and not get frustrated” is on a post-it beside my computer. Lets see how that works!
Things otherwise is as normal as ever. Babystar is one! and is as cute as a button with her pierced ears and mottai. Hair is growing fast though. I think she has HRH’s hairline and texture which is not totally unfortunate. She seems to have the anger gene passed on from her mother which is worrying. She has learned that the world is different when she throws tantrums. Her grandmother (HRH’s mom) is here which makes it even more difficult for me to create a schedule with ground rules. She is as thin and tall as a beanstalk but she’s happy and sort of healthy enough for the doctor to nod her head.
I love the holiday season. This year’s Thanksgiving feast was grander than ever. HRH and I are in agreement that we’ll celebrate Thanksgiving weekend as Deepavali from here on with influences from both the cultures we are familiar with now. We had a thanksgiving feast with friends as family for lunch (just like our Deepavali feast lunch) instead of a traditional thanksgiving “dinner”. Dishes had influences from south indian traditions as well as american classics. Apple pie was a hit again this year.
But tomorrow I start a diet cleanse so that I don’t overbake and over eat this holiday season. Have to make up for the last two years of pregnancy eating and post- pregnancy indulgences
