UBM Post 13 - Blast from the past

As I write today's post - I'm finishing up the last few spoons of delicious blue bottle coffee Gelato from Whole Foods. Yum yum yum!

How was your Saturday? Mine was sooper productive. And nostalgic!

I spent most of my day in the home office. I had a ton of mails to clear...most of them junk. Lots of shredding needed to be done. I wonder why no one sends any useful mails these days. (Ramesh, I read your latest blog post while doing this and was nodding all the way :)). Anyway, I found a rebate check worth ~$250 as the only useful thing from all the junk....and one amazing mother's day card which you can see at the end of the post :).

I then moved on to clean the office room and closet. There are a couple of pieces of furniture that we want to get rid of, and now that we have overhead storage in the garage, many things from the closet could be moved, so we did all the shuffling. While doing that, I found a small box in the closet full of cards that people (family, friends, colleagues) have given me through the years. I spent some time reading a few of them. One was from hubby to me from the time we were dating....he had written such nice things for me (it was almost like a letter but inside a card) so I made him read it too and asked him, 'where has all the love you, miss you, gone'? This is what he said :)

I also found a few albums of old pictures...from the pre-digital film era....most of them were hilarious :)....brought back soooooooooo many memories of my student life and my single life - I miss those days a lot!

Took a few iphone pictures of the photos to share (quality of pics is not that great).....

This was at someone's graduation....checkout those bangs - gosh, I remember interviewing for my current position with this awful hairstyle.....my hiring manager must have laughed his head off....

This one is tubing at Poconos in New Jersey - can you see the person walking on the left? That's my friend H who fell down from his tube and had to walk all the way down the slope - we made sooooo much fun of him that day :)

 

 This picture is special because the dress I am wearing was a hand-painted gift from my adorable sister....I was very happy when I received it....red/black combo is one of my favorites....

This picture caught my eye because my hair is the same as my current length....I thought this was the shortest I cut but apparently not :)

This is the skinniest I've ever been....I hope I can go back to this size in a couple of years from now. The dress was a gift from my ex-boyfriend....

This one is volunteering for 'habitat for humanity'.....spent a couple of days renovating a house in downtown Sac....

Check out the hazel lenses in the picture below - I used to wear hazel, green and blue color lenses....

And just one of the garba outfits.....I loved dressing up and dancing through the night....still do....

 And this is my personalized Mother's Day card from this year....sooper cute and precious - loved it!

Cleaning and organizing is not boring when you have company of such good memories!!!!
