bloomin hot.

it is bloomin hot ( as my mom might say). yesterday 102 i heard. but in light of the heat, a few positives...in doing laundry wet clothes dry in no time on the line. helpful. today i got myself out of bed by 6:32 (that's for you melissa) thanks to the built in heater/alarmclock that is kolkata these days and to went to get our mail at the mother house. which was a treasure trove of goodies and well worth the saturday early morning venture. josh casper, you rock. thank you soooo much for the treasures. they are and will be deeply enjoyed. and shiela. what perfect timing. our coffee had run out, and it was going to be a long few months without any good caffiene at our disposal. (even in 102 degree weather a person needs her fix right.) anyways, along with the coffee i recieved what appeared to be a log of chocolate. well i had to fork into it and see exactly what it was in its former life...and upon my first few bites i realized that thanks to 102 degree heat my chocolate covered espresso beans had become a huge bar of melted coffee and chocolatey goodness. it doesn't get any better than chocolate espresso logs. ha. another plus, we burn off calories in the summer just by simply existing, now that's a deal isn't it! and of course mango season is fastly approaching. i bought my first kg. just this afternoon. i'm sure they will be lovely. and if that wasn't enough goodness for one day. our dear wmf family from nepal is coming for a visit tomorrow!let me introduce andrew, brooke, and jesse. (and kristin and i in the middle) of course i hope they don't read about this heat until after they've arrived...then they can't cancel their tickets...

so as i wipe the sweat from my brow and try to find the sweet spot under my not so high powered fan...i'll just keep on remembering, hey at least i'm burning calories by just existing.

peace.
