Day 2, Can you believe it!?!

Alright, so it looks as though blogging is going to be a dangerous time suck. I should be writing right this second, and I even want to be writing, but after spending alllllll (did you get the emphasis there?) day learning about how to customize blogger, I really wanted to come and play with it a bit. End result? I mangled the thing beyond recognition and had to revert to a template. But sometime this weekend, I'll start writing the html for a new and much more Bally-esque blogger page. Which actually fits in nicely with the paper I'm going to start any minute now. I'm comparing the Arts and Crafts movement (ie craft mafia, stitch n' bitch and all the rest) with the resurgence of hand woven traditional garments in my field site. Hey, wake up, it's interesting, I swear. :) So that's next on the to do list. After that I need to get ready for tomorrow's concert and then crawl in to that amazing mass of satin, pillows and fluffy blankets that I spend all day missing. Just the thought of it makes me feel safe and warm. Ahhhhhhh.

Ok, back from my moment of bliss. Today was a great day. I accomplished quite a bit at work today, and was able to cross off a few things from my project list. More importantly, I spent the evening with two of my Nepali sisters, which is always amazing. Fast fact about my life: I know the most amazing people in the whole world. Who has cool friends? I have cool friends! And I'm not talking cool enough to date the homecoming king/queen cool. I'm talking big hearts, quick minds cool. But I should stop while I can.

I was trying to tell you about hanging out with my sisters. So I have a huge Nepali family. Tonight I mostly spent time with Bahini and Sundari. Bahini is one of the freest spirits I've ever met. In many ways, she's everything I've ever wanted to be. She's brave, amazingly smart, and her openess is truly awe inspiring. But as she is my only little sister, I find myself feeling ridiculous protective and concerned when it comes to her. So when she said she was worried about seeing Sundari tonight, I went into hyper-mothering mode. I hope I didn't smother her too much. But she seemed to be doing much better when I dropped her back at her place. Ugh, it's getting late and this is really rambly. I'll try and fill you in more tomorrow! Goodnight dear!
