If watermelons had no seeds...

...that would be one madness less in my life! Sigh.. The little one has recently acquired her taste for them watermelons but absolutely insists that she consume them daintily– take her time to figure which one of those same sized perfectly cubed chunks of watermelon goes next on her fork (that by the way has to match the plate she is eating from) and OH- the horror of horrors.. That there be not a single one of those unsightly seeds anywhere amidst those juicy red cubes :|
Now mommy dear spends most of her precious time separating the gazillion seeds from the watermelon wedges and proceeds to cube them with absolute perfection.. grrrr!

The last week has been nothing short of madness with the little one going down with a severe throat infection.. high fever, the works. Add to that the recent watermelon à la perfection fetish and I'm just not left with much time (read ANY) to get any work done!

All this when I was proceeding full throttle to launch two of my important personal projects.. one that’s forever been derailed since January and the other that although has been on my agenda for a looong while but still not as ancient as the January one!

Just wish me luck people! I'm in serious need of some :| and just in case you are wondering what I'm up to.. rest assured, I'll announce it right here. Just watch this space and enjoy a little sneak preview for now! Cheers :D

@ fariha - yeah Ive heard of those too.. and I bet they have those around here but never seen one.. must be awfully expensive too na?
