thats so exciting!! jackie told me yesterday thats what he wanted to do :) (that def helps in the happiness discussion im sure!)

speaking of marriages, patty and i had a pretty awk conversation about that yesterday at lunch, i think i was mean/rude but from my opinion not out of line. she isnt mad at me at all but i think she was taken aback. it started when i told her that my mom was going to india in may for my cousins wedding, she asked which cousin, i told her my oldest cousin had an arranged marriage, girl was crazy, got divorced and is now getting married again. and she was like arranged marriages are so stupid you have to meet the person/know the person. i got defensive - i was like patty come on, in my family there are over 100s of marriages, one of which has ended in divorce. look at that statistic here when people date for 10 years and then get divorced - i said it nicely but firmly. she dated someone for 7 years then got married and divorced....anyway right after i said it i felt bad, but she kinda looked at me oddly then the conversation continued...anyway...

satyan just called :) he is in jersey hanging out with his family but is coming back at 7 (which is when i think ill get out of work tonight). when he called he called my desk and i didnt answer cause i was talking to steve. so i called him right back and he was like where are you coldstone? its a big joke between us cause i always talk abotu how good i think their ice cream is but how i have only been there twice and i need to go again. in my study guide it said next to one of the lessons for the week "take a break and go get ice cream with a friend" when i got to that part i told him and said he should take me for ice cream. so today when he called he was like how about after work i take you out to dinner, then to cold stone, then we can go home and watch 24 (i taped it for him since he was busy last night) :) i was in the middle of 1000 things so i was like sure that sounds great ill call you at 7 and he was like 7? thats 4 hours from now ill prob call and distract you before then! really cute and i cant stop smiling but also waay too boyfriend like....
