oh my god it moves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think im feeling it move. it is so weird and creepy. it feels like a little muscle twitch or spasm. i think its just messing with me and flicking me. it made it really hard to concentrate on work. i just hope it is more like the creature in space balls than alien, we could use a little song and dance during the day.

it's a prude, a prude i tell you!!!
Current mood: surprised

we had our ultrasound on wednesday. we were all ready to find out if it was a menina or menino, a hot dog or a hamburger, an Elvis or a priscilla. but the only thing that we found out is that its a prude. it had its little knees pinched together the entire time. how could i, of all people, be raising a child that is a prude? one that is afraid to show the goods? how is this even posible???? but it has two kidneys, a functioning bladder, 4 ventricle heart, developing brain, 2 arms, 2 legs and a full spine. but idea if it has a va-jay-jay or a winkle!

im finally getting off my butt

i thought it would be cool working the night shift here, but it is really hard to go to sleep immediately when i get home from work, and even harder to get moving when i wake up. i always blamed it on not being a "morning" person, but i guess that doesn't apply now because i should be sleeping from about 4am to noon. i guess im just and inert person (objects at rest like to stay at rest!). but i am going to over come my inertia right now! i have 1 hour 15mins before our driver will be here to pick us up to go to work. i am going to get dressed and go for a walk and see what i can find. im going to go in the opposite direction than i went the 1st time. wish me luck in seeing all kinds of totally amazing things!!!

well, i am in heaven here!!!! apparently, in india, i am quite the hottie. i am starting to think that that whole staring thing i experienced on the first day was not due to the whiteness factor; every guy that i pass wants to talk to me and totally looks me up and down.
last night on our dinner break, one of the guys from the office here took us foreignors out to this really great restaurant (the food was absolutely fantastic!!! i am going to be very sad to not have it any more) and i totally scored digits on the way back from the bathroom!!!
bruno, you better watch out, they might just steal me away here!!!

today was my first day at work here, 630pm to 330am. i woke up from my nap at 5pm so disoriented that i didnt even know where i was. i thought for sure that i would never make it through the night at work. but once i got there and started interacting with everyone i woke right up. ive now been off work for 2 hours and am just starting to get sleepy. the uw's that im training are very smart and very concerned about doing their job correctly, but its amazing how many simple things they havent been told. im running thru the kind of ever day stuff that goes into a file and reviewing conditions. everyone is very friendly and it was a great 1st day in a new office. i really enjoy the trainer role, my ability to retain random and/or useless facts is totally coming in handy, and i can share it with people who completely and undividedly give me their attention. im hoping i will get used to the accent soon b/c i am having a very difficult time understanding many of them.
i also went shopping today (before work) and got a really beautiful saree and a set of saphire jewelry (earrings, pendant, ring). everything was so beautiful it was really hard to decide. and i had a super yummy dinner/breakfast of chooza makhni and naan. oh, and we saw and elephant on the way to work tonight!!!!!
