Hollywood Collectors Show

Oct 6th, 2007 - There is a autograph collectors convention held once every 3-4 months here in Los Angeles. My parents went to the last one and they wanted to go to this one as the stars of one of the favorite show 3's Company were planning on attending the show. Joyce DeWitt (Janet) and Priscilla Barnes (Terri) were supposed to be there and my parents wanted to go see them. We went to the Marriott in Burbank and the parking lot was completely packed. We drove for about 10 minutes before my parents found a place to park.

Once we were in, we found them sitting at a table and there was a small crowd around them. My parents waited in line and once they got to them, the spoke to them for a few minutes, got a couple of signed photos and we took a photo with them. My parents were very thrilled to see them.

I love Bath Time

3rd Oct, 2007 -  Some kids love to take a bath and some don't. I love taking a bath. My mother tells me "Bath Time" and I immediately run to the staircase (the bathroom is upstairs). Once I get to the bedroom, I immediately go to the bathroom and take the bucket place it in the shower while my mother gets the towel, diapers etc. I love the hot water bath and start talking to my mother. My mother then rubs the lotion on me before dressing me up. Taking a bath is a wonderful feeling.

Time to Shape Up

Oct 1st, 2007 - My parents just bought an exercise machine this weekend and obviously it caught my eye. I decided to give it a test drive. I was able to get up on the stepper and I felt very fit.  I need to step up my level of mischief. Seems like my parents are not getting enough exercise from me.

Pack and Play

28th Dec, 2007 -  In case I have not yet mentioned it in my blog, we are moving to Dallas next year. I can grow up and be a cowboy there. My parents decided to start packing some of the things early on so that it will be easier later when the time comes to move. There are plenty of boxes and open cupboards around the house and so I am having a good time pulling things out of the cupboards. I wonder whats in store for me in Dallas or should I say "What do I have in store for Dallas?"

Navagraha Pooja at the Malibu Hindu Temple

27th Dec 2007 - My parents decided to do a Navagraha Shanti Pooja today at the Hindu Temple in Malibu. We started off early to the temple with lots of flowers, fruits and sweets. We got to the temple at around 9:30 in the morning and it was quite cold up in the hills. My parents started the pooja while my Bapamma took care of me (boy did I give her a hard-time). I wanted to run around and also be a part of the pooja. I wanted to sprinkle the teerth, pour the ghee in the havan, throw the rice. There were two Bhat Maams, Prasad Bhatji and Shashtri Bhatji. They were very nice. They gave me a Hershey's kisses and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. 

After we finished the pooja, we visited the rest of the gods in the temple and then went home. It was a nice day for me. I got to run around the temple.
