I love Indian/Hindu holidays. They all seem like so much fun.
It is on my list of things to do in life to be in India during Holi. It looks EPIC.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still have to get the top made to complete my sari. And then I will wear it nowhere, because I will be self-conscious.

Because books.
I don't even wear wrap dresses or skirts because they make me so nervous. But saris are so pretty.

I know how that goes. I have this GORGEOUS qipao from China and I never ever wear it because I am all self-conscious about it.
But saris are awesome, I am very impressed that you are making one yourself!!

I just sent out an email to people in my office about something that they were supposed to turn in to me by the end of the first week in November.
Of course, today is the last day of the first week of November but apparently my supervisor is getting a million complaints about people not knowing when the deadline was - even though the initial email I sent about this matter said that I needed it by the end of the first week in November.
And even if you don't come into the office today you were no doubt here Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday or Monday - all days in the first week in November.
I am posting this here so I don't give in to the impulse to post it to my department and get my self in further hot water.
(My supervisor asked me who told me to send that email - I was under the impression that by giving me the task of gathering up this stuff I was granted permission to email as needed. So annoying.)

I've worn saris twice now. The time I was wrapped by an actual Indian person (as opposed to Emily and me) I never felt exposed or even potentially exposed at all. It's far more comfortable in that regard than a wrap skirt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, cupcakes are awesome. You know what'd be even more awesome? Cupcakes with little cupcakes on top!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The saris are super comfortable, but the underskirt and half shirt are thin and your midriff really is exposed. I'll wear a salwar kameez today instead.
