Revelations!

Hi my beautiful friends,

Few days ago (29 Jan) me and my husband, Daniel, celebrated one month of being married! Celebrated...well...Danny was home already on Friday, I took a half day and then we had maggi and tea and watched a movie. And then we ordered Chinese for dinner! My husband hates going out so we have to get good food home. Actually, if I think about it, we no longer feel the need to do something fancy or do something extraordinary, we find comfort in small things, in things that we both like, such as a cup of tea, our sofa and a nice movie.

So, after a month of being married, I've had some exciting experiences, realisations and revelations. 

My first baby!

Your husband is your first baby. I have to tell mine to wash his hands, keep his clothes in his cupboard, to not keep munching etc. Husbands, like babies, can be messy, annoying but you can't do anything about it because you love them to bits! 

Snoring. My husband snores, not just your everyday ordinary snores, loud, continuous and rythemic snores.The ones that your neighbors can hear kind of snores. But, to think about it,
I don't seem to get much bothered actually like normally one would, for me it's a Danny thing, more like an assurance that he's right next to me, that it's all good!

Managing your house. I also have now understood why my Mum used to get so irritated and annoyed when me and my brother (my younger brother, Darryl, who hates being hugged) would mess the house and keep random stuff everywhere in the house. Only when you are given a household to run do you understand what it takes to keep it neat, tidy and livable. My husband and my brother make fun of me and feel that I have some OCD tendencies when I ask them to always use a coaster or to always take off shoes when stepping on the carpet or to keep your plate in the kitchen sink as soon as you're done. What's OCD in this I wonder? Isn't this basic everyday stuff? But again, only those who clean can understand what I mean. Can you feel the emotions here other brand new wives?

What to cook today? I now have a renewed sense of appreciation and respect for working women who get up early and cook and stuff and come back and cook again. I do our dinners myself and I don't mind the cooking, what is most troublesome is to think about what to cook. IT IS SUCH A PAIN! Lying in bed, minutes before I sleep, all I'm thinking about is what to cook the next day for dinner and what to tell my cook to make for our breakfast and our lunch. Is there an easier way? Make a monthly chart maybe? (Danny is snoring in the background, sounds like the tune of a song. He's always so nice and warm, so am going to be mean and sneak up next to him and keep my cold feet on his and steal some warmth.)

My meal at Bento. The duck was too die for!

Also, I went and bought some nice stuff from Forever 21 from the Mall of India, its a new mall that's opened up in Noida, right opposite GIP and oh-my-god I could literally live there. Awesome brands, awesome sales and the most amazing food court (even though half of the stores are still not functioning!). Tried this cafe called The Bento Cafe, such amazing Thai and other Oriental stuff. Made my afternoon. I had a meal which had thai pan seared duck in tamarind sauce, pineapple fried rice, a kimchi salad and steamed chicken dimsums. 
I need nothing else :)

So my reason for telling you guys that I shopped was, it doesn't fit me. 

I am pretty lean but I kinda have a bulging tummy which has been hiding behind my winter clothes but now am afraid of what will happen when summers are here and I have to take off my woolens. I honestly do not have enough motivation and time to go to a gym everyday and spend an hour or 2 there. So what do I do? People suggested I should brisk walk but won't that slim me down totally? I'm already thin. I cannot give up my food and my potatoes and my pizzas and other forbidden stuff. Will I have to? I really do want to have a flat stomach and fit into what I got! (I have decided not to exchange it and instead use it as a motivation!) 

(I bought a skipping rope too! Yay. My brother says I'm never going to use it though. I'll be talking more about Darryl in my next blog!) 

So I am really looking forward to some suggestions where it doesn't need too much time and too much of sacrificing the good stuff you know! 

Danny is next to me on the couch, having pringles and playing Fifa on his phone. Darryl is watching something on his lappy. Such grown up men. Am off to make some dinner now. My next blog will be out soon! Sooner than this one. 

Bye for now my lovelies. 
Hugs!
