One in a Billion

In a most unusual turn of events, I happen to be in an unusually good mood today. Yes, such things do happen. Wonder of wonders. I have a sneaky suspicion that this can be blamed on starting the day with a green apple instead of the usual latte. So maybe what they say about healthy food is actually true!

So yesterday wasnt a very good day. Unannounced pains took over my tummy most suddenly. And most irritatingly. Situation was aggravated by continuing to work in office during said discomfort. Situation was uber-aggravated by having a cup of coffee before leaving work. Why am I telling you all this?
For sympathy of course! Duh!
Also for attention, love, hugs and money. All cheques should be drawn out to 'Save the Casablanca Foundation'. Sorry, our credit card system is temporarily out of order. We apologise for any (in)convenience caused.

Thanks for asking. All pains are gone, and the drama queen is back in office today. And... hold your breath... she was in office at 830 this morning!
*trumpets and hypothetical band plays the victory tune*
Yes reaching office at 9 itself is a struggle, so 830 is worth the band, however noisy it sounds. I will be able to afford a better band next time around, if you would just drop in donations to the abovementioned-most-serious-and-professional charitable foundation. *wink wink*

Yesterday was a most unusual night. Casa felt the need to abandon her virtual abode and say goodbye to all online contacts and hit the sack at 1030pm. Mighty early. She was so proud of herself! Peaceful, dreamy sleep was then interrupted by a phonecall from a friend who wanted to know what happened to the India-Pak match. Said 'friend' was showered with choicest words for disturbing Casa on trivial matters.
#$%!$^&@~#*
*peaceful, dreamy sleep resumed*

However, Casa found herself awake at midnight, after a particularly interesting dream, and proceeded to call up A and bore him with mundane details of said dream. A seemed suitably unperturbed with this behaviour. High time he got used to it, Casa thinks! That conversation was followed with an hour of insomnia and curiousity finally got the better of her. She wanted to know now know what had happened to the India-Pak match! Casa's mom says the girl has very little respect for money these days. Casa thinks Moms are always right. So instead of walking 4 steps to the laptop to check the score online, she proceeded to make an international call to find out the fate of the Indian 'boys'. Alas, bad news it was.
*tears are shed for such a show under the able leadership of cutie-pie Dravid*

They say happiness should be shared. I say sorrow should be shared too! The goodness that is moi, then called earlier curious friend to inform him of match result. An inconsequential detail, dear reader, which you neednt be aware of, is that it was now close to 1am. Said 'friend' was asleep. Said 'friend' showered me with choicest words for disturbing him on trivial matters.

Sigh.
Life does come a full circle.

*shrugs*
No wonder I never liked geometry.


PS: One is a Billion is one of my latest discoveries. The One (and Only) will always have something hilarious to say. We likey!
