A-Town!

written by Parita Leave a Comment

Hello!  It feels so good to be home!

My flight was ok – nothing too exciting.  I read and slept.  Vishnu picked me up at the airport. Smile Even though we saw each other at the end of March, it felt like a year since I had last seen him.  That’s what a long distance relationship will do to you.  LOL!

I woke up this morning and made something I like to call a pancake biscuit (a super thick pancake).  It doesn’t look like much, but it tasted quite yummy.  I “frosted” it with a melted peanut butter and honey mixture.

After eating, I drove into the city to see my friend Ruchi.  Ruch got married and moved to India back in November.  She started a blog to share her experiences as an American living in India – American Sugar Indian Chai.  Even though I’ve traveled to India multiple times, I love reading about her new life there.  This is her first visit home, and since I’m in town, I wanted to make sure we had a chance to hang out and catch up! Smile

My parents and I also made a trip to the outlets near our house.  I didn’t really find much – it’s always so hit or miss for me.  My mom, on the other hand, found her dream purse at the Coach outlet. Smile

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, MOMMA!!!!!

Oh, and guess what.  I found my next book – The Alchemist.  I’m so excited!  I hear it’s right up my alley.

Well, I’m off to watch a movie with the rents! Smile Goodnight, y’all!!

What are your plans this Mother’s Day weekend? 

Have you read The Alchemist??

    Ooo GREAT Coach purse — I like!

    I’ve read The Alchemist and enjoyed it quite a bit. I really wanted to “savor” it so I would only read about 10 pages at a time.

    My non-important goal this year is to buy myself a Coach purse! I need to stop by the outlets to do that! Glad you’re having a great weekend in Atlanta – and I can’t wait to check out your friend’s blog!

    It sounds like you had a fun weekend! Another reason we’re so the same – I eat PB on my pancakes too! Growing up, my friends always thought that was so weird!

    My friend told me that everyone she knows who reads The Alchemist winds up getting a divorce! Steer clear if you’re hitched! 🙂
