Why Kabobs are Better Than Men?

Posted on December 21, 2013October 9, 2022By : Linda Panda

I had to share this conversation.  Sanam MD, not to be confused with Sanam VA, has become one of my closest confidants. I absolutely love her.  Our conversations are pretty hilarious, but I think this one pretty much took the cherry on top.  She entertains me so much with random text messages.  As a PersianContinue Reading “Why Kabobs are Better Than Men?”

Hotlanta…Ready or Not…I’m Here!

Posted on November 18, 2013By : Linda Panda

When Manish found out I was heartbroken, he told me to book a trip to see him and anything I want to do he will make it happen. Little did he know skydiving was on that list? He was such a trooper this weekend. I totally exhausted the poor guy. I think he felt likeContinue Reading “Hotlanta…Ready or Not…I’m Here!”

I swear ever since 18, everywhere I turn my life has been filled with Persians.  I was having brunch with Shari and Adam and we were laughing about what expectations come with dating a Persian.  I tried to teach him a few words and terms of endearment to tell Shari like: My jiggari (Piece ofContinue Reading “7 Steps to Becoming an Honorary Persian”

I call Julia my sunshine in the rain. She knew me when I was a youngster at my last job. We both became instant friends and we had the type of friendship everyone at work was jealous of. Seriously there were people jealous of us at work. She is one of my truest friends thatContinue Reading “Julia boulia…My ray of sunshine.”

Chicagooo- The Windy City… I left a piece of me there.

Posted on October 20, 2013By : Linda Panda

I call Lisa my Twin.  Seriously, I think we were probably the same person in a past life.  We finish each other’s thoughts. We met 3 years ago in China. I was coming from a wedding in Mexico and rolled up at 7 AM in China dragging 2 giant luggages up the ramp.  The restContinue Reading “Chicagooo- The Windy City… I left a piece of me there.”

This is a dedication to the awesome person Des is. Her nickname is truly Dazzle. Des and I met up at a rooftop bar in Rockville when I first came out.   We clicked because I told her how I fell in the metro and she laughed.

About Me

Life is made up of a million moments compiled together into one novel. In it lies chapters of happiness, comedic relief, tragedy, and everyone who played a part in it. That's what you get when you read my blog, a glimpse into my book.

I love sunshine and roses. Pandas and turtles make me smile. I am obsessed with traveling...when I'm not jet-setting somewhere, I'm day-dreaming about where I'm going next. I am blessed with the best family and friends someone could have.

I have worked over 10 years in the financial/budget world and my life revolves around making Excel sheets very pretty.

Thank you for following me as I fill my blank pages.

XOXO
