I felt inspired to share a bit more....an attempt to keep your attention yet again...and put myself to sleep.
This morning, after sleeping in - which means getting up at 7 for breakfast then taking a two to three hour family nap - we ventured on a family jog, our first in London. As you may have read in this morning's entry (it is just past midnight here), I have taken a few jogs over the past week that have consisted of a straight shot down and back on a main - though no-so-interesting - road.
Sanjay suggested a bit of exploring instead (one of my very favorite things next to Coldplay, sleeping and procrastinating, among other things). We meandered our way to the riverside walkway, which we found a bit smelly in the "fishy fish" sense. We crossed a park, went a bit further, returned to the park finding the sub-river "footpath" (which is equivalent to an American "pedestrian walkway") connecting to Greenwich, near the high street.
After crossing, we poked around for just a few minutes. Sanjay was thrilled to find that his favorite fast food sandwich, the Subway Veggie Pattie, is available in the UK, next door to a Ben & Jerry's - I can't complain. I have to admit that this brief outing reignited my enthusiasm for our upcoming move. Our flat will be just north of Greenwich Village in the Millennium Village area, so it will be only a good walk from home to reach this exciting college-y, tourist-filled area. It wouldn't be so bad not working for a bit.
I do have a first round interview with Starcom-London tomorrow, which I am looking forward to now that I have an outfit of current fashion to wear (I don't know the appropriate slang term for "outfit" yet, but I do know not to call pants "pants" unless I want a local to think I am inappropriately referring to my undergarments - might take a few "slips" to remember that one).
While I looked for the perfect shoes to go along, Sanjay went to the grocery with a list given by the "Supreme Court" (which is the equivalent of the "Queen" in my childhood household), the name Sanjay has so lovingly, and not whatsoever sarcastically, given me since motherhood. We had invited Babhi and Bhaiya (refer to first blog entry) for dinner promising home-made nachos (which they've never had). The feedback was that they were the best ever - I'll take it. Of course I omitted certain ingredients from the list, such as black olives and onions for obvious (to me) reasons, and Sanjay wonders why he did not think to get them...
Alright, time for bed. More to come later...

Hey Liz,
Love reading these accounts. Keep them coming.
Isn't Sanjay's b'day coming up ? Hope you have a blast.

Hail from the Queen! ;)
Would Sanjay dare misinterpret the direction of the Supreme Court? I think not! What you listed, he gathered. Good job! (Unfortunately, the King neglects to follow such lists so closely - --perhaps nodding off? :)
Wonderful adventure - keep us posted on wardrobe lingo - what a hoot!
I love the terms we all acquire - in our household I am either 'the neck' (hearken back to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding') or Alpha B&#$% - a remnant from when I was the only female in the house. Now if anyone asks Claire, Mama is 'one classy lady' and Dada is 'a fine figure of a man.'
it's so wonderful to read all about your family in london. i can just picture that cutie girl climbing all over the place.
can't wait to hear more!
will and i send our love!
