(Dare I say it?) I'm back!

Hello my lovelies!  I'm much better now (in case you're interested, I had a cold which morphed into an ear infection which morphed into the mostg0d@wful!! headache ever. Did I tell you how grateful I am to be living in an age where we have antibiotics? People used to die of bacterial infections in the pre-antibiotic era!) (Sorry for the dramatics, I've been MIA too long! :) )

How goes your day? I'm enjoying me some black grapes and pepper jack cheese for now (healthy and yummy--check and check). Not bad for a day that started with (a seemingly interminable) round of calls to customer service representatives, dmv officials and other such pleasing conversations. It's official---I'm drowning in paperwork. With no end in sight. No, I'm really not kidding here............paperwork stretching out ahead of me, of us, for the next couple of months. At least. In the end I shall emerge victorious(!), triumphant(!), {insert appropriate image of a flag-bearing human form, scaling a peak/claiming moonland/the antarctic}.... and move onward(!!!) to attack the next round of paperwork, because, as we all know: paperwork begets more paperwork, right?

G-R-O-A-N.

But that's good news for you dear reader: to distract myself from trying to scale (my puny 8ft (??)) walls as I am put "on hold", I sit in front of the computer and surf as if my life depended on it. The result: awesome, stop-you-in-your-tracks content (or re-hashed, mediocre content that looks fabulous to me compared to instrumental versions of "my heart will go on" playing out of the telephone earpiece! LOL!). So before I totally lose  my audience (did the parentheses and exclamation point overload get you yet?) hee hee), let me move on with some appropriate images (nah, scratch the flag-waving human, let's get back to design shall we?). While I was in India, I did a lot of research (translated: read a lot of magazines while lolling around in the sun, LOL!)....I brought back a few tear-sheets** to share with you...Here's the first set, torn out of the February '11 issue of LivingEtc (India Edition).

Love the rich, saturated blues, the sparklies, and the pinks (only as accents, of course!)!  Did you notice the picture wall in the second room? I love the juxtaposition of traditional and modern!! Anything reach out and grab you in particular?



PS: I'm really hoping to be back in the blogosphere, pukka, regular-like. But it may take a while as I ease myself into the rhythms and cadence of day to day living. The backlog on posts on P&P (delicious ones! ones worth writing and reading!!) could rival those mountains of files in your favorite babu's office, and I'm trying my best to get things moving again............I long for the P&P of yore as much as (I hope, fervently!!) you do. I have to catch up on my reading, my source of endless inspiration, a.k.a. you. I shall be by your blogs and I shall read my fill...I'm looking forward to it in joyful anticipation......See you soon, my loves!!

PPS: **Pages torn out of magazines ain't really my style....but I had to do it because I'd rather use my measly baggage allowance to haul back my loot. (There may be posts on the loot I brung back.)  Plus, what is it with magazines nowadays? More adverts than content! Since I couldn't haul them all back, I just brought back the parts I liked.....
