I sit here amused at what a contrast there is between the color of my legs and the color of my arms...OH India...

I JUST found out my brother and his wife are going to be having a baby girl! How cool is that?? I just got the 3D sonogram (is that how you spell that?? I have no idea!) pictures from him and they are SO cool. You can see the babies whole body and everything. Technology, it is amazing really. How sad that I will be missing the first months of my very first niece's life, but it is all good. She will still be wonderfully cute when I get home...whenever that is!

What brought a smile to my face in India today? Watching this guy on his bike peddling as hard as he could trying to keep up with the barage of vehicles on Indian roads (motorcyles, scooters, auto rickshaws,buses, cars and trucks) with the HUGEST smile plasterd on his face. I JUST knew the dude had a huge smile on his face as he was peddling like a mad man so when I turned around to see if it was so, IT WAS!
I bought my first saree the other day and it will be ready on the 13th! How exciting...too bad I don't know how to put one on yet...but I will learn since I will be wearing it for the festival at my landlord's house at the end of the month.

I have been playing tennis almost every day now and today I won 6-2,6-0. Happy day that the weather was SO nice and for once my game was not interrupted by rain! A summer day with out monsoon rain?? Is it possible? :) I really wish I could show you all a pic of the tennis court that my friend and I play on...does it have a net? Um, yeah, but it is a chain link fence! So, I am sure you can imagine what the rest of the court is like...I aced the person I play with today b/c I happend to serve my ball right on the crack that runs right down the middle of our court and it bounced crazily away. OK, now I actually have served a few aces that were legit but this one in particular was junk! If I may use the term ghetto here..and maybe one day I will get a pic up online of the craziness we play on...my friend said yesterday "Imagine the day we get to play on a real court"....imagine...My quote from yesterday was "Ben, I need to go to forehand camp".

Is it possible that I got on the scale the other night and I only weigh 120 pounds??? What, that is ok, I used to weigh that, in uh, 8th grade?? I have lost almost 20 pounds this year...wowzer.
TK. That is OK in Indian. I need a shower so I can get in my nice bed... Sleepy, sleepy girl...
