I've been tagged by UTBT and Kodi's mom. Thanks both of you for my very first tag!
Well 8 things about myself...here goes -
1. I still breastfeed my daughter who is going to be two soon. And dreading the weaning process. Why I still breastfeed her? - WHO recommends that babies be breastfed for 2 years, it's the easiest way to make her sleep, I've not been able to wean her - she cries her head off when I say no, and of course the health benefits for mom and baby that are supposed to be there.
2. I learnt crocheting from the internet when I was pregnant and made lovely booties and headbands for my daughter that she never wears! At one point in time, it was an obsession, I would take the needle and wool and keep crocheting away!
3. I still miss being with my parents 3+ years after marriage. The best part about having a baby was the 4 months I spent at my parents home. I wish society was different in India and parents stayed with their daughters rather than their sons. Sounds logical - daughters are always more attached and will look after them with understanding affection. Most sons are not that attached to their parents, and especially not understanding. And it is unfair to expect a daughter in law to look after her in laws like her parents. Ever noticed how it is always the 'son who is looking after his parents so well and never the daughter in law', though she does all the dirty and hard work. But is there is a problem, it is because of the daughter in law, not the son.
4. I love clean houses but hate cleaning. I just dump stuff in the cupboards and lock them up;-)
5. My name has no known meaning. My parents just took it from a brand they liked, which sadly is no longer around. So, whenever someone hears my name, they ask me what it means, and I say that it means me. Someday, people will name their daughters after me, and will refer that great person after whom they named their babies:)
6. I wanted a son, cos I thought it's an easier life for boys. But, am glad God gave me a daughter. I hope I can make her strong and independent and loving and caring and giving and all the things I wish I was more of.
7. I've paraglided once. A friend and myself signed up for a session - to do something new and different in out dreary lives. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. The view from above was just like watching from a terrace. Guess I am a boring and dreary person myself. I love staying at home over weekends and the only thing that excites me is shopping, or rather window shopping.
8. I plan no end for occasions like my husbands b'day or our anniversary and the lucky guy gets wonderful surprises and gifts. He doesn't return the same. Silly man neither understands neither subtle nor direct suggestions from me on what I want:(

Hey, came here from Kodi's blog. First - wow, you learnt to crochet from the internet?! That's FABulous! And second - my hubs is exactly like yours in the matter of gift giving. I keep telling him he would've been the perfect man but for that! :-)
#1 - ditto! I thought he'd weaned, but no!
#2 - I soooo wish I did that - I wanted to but never got off on a start!
thx for taking this up & nice to know more abt you!
Good to know more about you!
I am also glad that I have a daughter......
I would like to take the time and say ditto on 4,5 and 8. Sometimes I even leave open IE windows with the exact gift I want, hubby is oblivious.
I took crochet classes and crocheted like a mad woman when I was pregnant with toddler. I have all these cute balnkets and sweaters that I never let the kids touch fearing that they might pull the yarn out. He! He!
Geez! Are all husbands like this?
Moppet's mom - lovely site and lovely daughter you have. I loved the idea of the mom-baby swimming classes. Wish we had them in india. Btw, am a huge fan of the internet. Name it and you can learn it - crocheting, cooking, cleaning, writing.
Kodi's mom - do let me know when you manage to wean Kodi and tips on how to achieve that. Btw, I love the name kodimeow. Do you like cats by any chance? Ilove them!
mynanhipari's mom - yes, we're blessed aren't we?
utbt - First we have the same MIL. Now we have so many similarities! We have to meet! Wish you were closer home.

Dit is de eerste keer dat ik "8 things about myself" open en
ik ben aangenaam overdonderd door het verband dat dit stukje behelst met
10 kilo afvallen.
Also visit my web-site ; snel afvallen door sporten
any websites which give good low-carb recipes as well as
menu plans?
Feel free to surf my website letterdash.com
Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari. Excellent Blog!
Look at my weblog ; buy birthday cakes online
How did u manage to learn crochet from the net? You must be very patient :)
