Slip into a Salwar

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

Salwar!Well I just found out today that upon our arrival in India, I get to go shopping. For a salwar. Yep, this is what I’ll be wearing everybody. This get-up will look hot & sexy paired with my manly hiking boots.

We leave in 17 days. 17 days to eat as much Mexican food as possible. Maybe the salwar won’t be so shabby afterall.

T-minus 48 days!

In the next 48 days, we have just a couple things to do. First of all, it’s the holidays. Which means lots of parties and lots of hangovers…which are severely detrimental to being productive individuals. The holidays also mean we’re supposed to buy gifts for our families…which I frankly don’t want to spring for. (I’m cashing in my once-in-a-lifetime Ebenezer Scrooge card) Aside from the holiday hub-bub, we need to sell/get rid of 70% of our belongings, pack up & store what we’re keeping, move out of our place, quit our jobs, finish preparing & planning for our trip, go to all of our favorite Chicago restaurants & bars for “one last time”, prevent our mothers from a severe tear-duct drought (note to self: give the gift of booze for the Mommies at Christmas), AND at some point I need to make it to the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. Somehow in the past 3 1/2 years I haven’t made it, and I can’t live with myself.

Oh and how can I forget…must collect various photos of Ken Lay so I can swiftly identify him sipping pina coladas on the beaches of Thailand. America, JR and I will make it our mission to bring this man to justice and expose GW for abusing the witness protection program. You don’t wanna step to this Kenny boy.

Off to make yet another painfully large purchase…butch hiking boots.
