After being left sitting for hours last night, today we wait for the dealer to come to bring Mochi Grande over!

Sooo pretttty and white :)

PS. Thank you oyster eater from east coast for letting us drag her along and sit around for hours.  ext time you come it will be much more fun!

Almost Total Solar Eclipse

Today we stayed at home so that we could see the solar eclipse.  Supposed to be a big thing because we would get close to 100% total eclipse.

Couple things I learned.
1) The couple % points matter quite a bit.  We never did see a total blackening like the folks we saw on the TV experienced (nor did we see the 'diamond' and the ring of fire).

2) Telephoto lens will burn, so don't use them unless you have bought a filter.  I did not dare use it for fear of breaking the lens, the camera, and my eyes.  Ended up using my phone for most of it, which actually provided a somewhat ok shot.

3) Do not stare directly into the sun without the special glasses.  Very very important.

Surprise Visit!

The plan: A surprise crashing of Aman's place, to celebrate his upcoming bday.  Organized by her sister, the plan would be that she would pretend to take a long time getting ready, in time for us to show up.

What happened: He got too hungry, started ordering pizza, and then ate a whole pizza before we came with the 'second' pizza to surprise him.  He was pretty surprised.

We also decided that there would be a power hour Despacito evening to follow in a weeks' time.

Happy pre-birthday!!!

Stitches Update

Another 2 weeks later, the cast was off last week.  First day off (left), it looked pretty dirtttty.  But after a few days and lightly showering, looking mucho better!

While my fingers are somewhat nimble, my wrist is pretty much stiff as a rock.  PT, here I come!
