Shopping Update

So I write to you from my new (much needed) Macbook. I've been hemming and hawing about a new laptop for a couple of years now, and I finally broke down and bought it. Very happy and not looking back!

I also got a new hairbrush. I suppose general hygiene is more important than internet access! Thanks to living in Minneapolis and having an Aveda-trained friend, I've had my eye on an Aveda brush for a while now, but couldn't justify it seeing as I already had a brush. (These are the days of our lives.) But you all asked me to keep you updated on whether or not we're taking care of ourselves, and I am happy to report that I will not be ripping out anymore clumps of hair with broken hairbrushes!


(The magic stick)

Now for the good part of the story...Pratik just left about an hour ago to go play squash at the gym with his labmate. He was looking all over for a pair of tennis shoes to wear. What soon-to-be Dr. Verma failed to remember is that we threw away his tennis shoes a few months back. Lately he has been wearing the aforementioned holy loafers, as well as his dress shoes.

HE JUST WORE HIS DRESS SHOES TO THE GYM. Complete with green plaid shorts, dress socks, and a red tshirt that has the image of the god Ganesh.

On his way out, I said oh, does someone need new shoes? To which he hastily replied NO!

Holy loafers are about to hit the trash!

This story makes me laugh for two reasons. One, Pratik is hilarious! And two, you drank the Anna-inspired Aveda koolaid just like I did, and I have been wanting to buy that same brush for months! Mostly because the one that I have has been with me since 9th grade, and also rips my hair out. I think we are cosmically alligned!
