COLD

My fingertips are blue! My toes are frozen! Before anyone asks YES the freakin heat is on. Ok now we got that out of the way. B, you will always be older than me, even if it is only like 2 months. Anyway, I really have nothing exciting to report. Work is going as well as can be expected when you have a boss who is a tad lacking in people skills....... I can't wait until after the first of the year, things should let up a bit then. I mean do not get me wrong, I am happy to see so many people happily married, but some people have too much time on their hands. I mean seriously, if you are having a wedding for 400 people, do you really expect us to dip chicken cutlets in egg, then bread crumb, then saute them just till brown, the take them out of the pan, pat them off, and bake them??? That is a tad high maintenance, I think. Anwho.........

Old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I got out of work early today. I am not used to being home in the middle of the day, it was weird. I got to see an old friend, and that was nice. Here is the point tho... I am OLD!!!! It is now, like 10 to 8, and I am all ready to go shluffie (sleep), which is just wrong. I mean i know sleep schedule is all messed up because of the work day yesterday, but still..... OLD OLD OLD. Ya know, it is kind of funny, but it never bothered me before, the birthday thing, I mean it is just a number. For some reason 30 seems to be bothering me. I know I will get over it, but still...... Anyway that is all for now, have a good night y'all and sweet dreams!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

well then..

So I am sure that many of you (since there are like 4 of you that read this) have heard that my ex is engaged. I got several differnt responses from people. One wise person said I should feel sorry for her. I guess I kinda do. I hope someone warned her what she was gettting into. Another friend told me that I knew he was not for me yesterday, and I just have to continue to know he is not for me tomorrow........ I know part of it is that he just seemed to skate thru this whole divorce while I dealt with everything, and that part of it is that men need to be with someone they can't be alone, but damnit I am a good person, why doesn't someone want me??? I kinow stupid and over dramatic....... can't help it

Sunday, Boring Sunday

So S came over this morning, and showed off her new Sheitel (wig). Looks good on her, she should wear it in good health. Other than that, I got up, I showered, and I am splitting my time between crocheting scarves for friends, and burning CDs to make room on my hard drive. I think that there is a real chance that I am the MOST BORING person on the face of the planet. Oh well. Still nervous about work tomorrow, but I will take my lumps as they come. I hope that other people are having a productive day, even if I am not. Ravens do not play until 4:15 today, and they are in Denver, so I am thinking loss. I hope that I am wrong, but we will see, If something utterly exciting happens I might write more later, but do not count on it.

brat........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry that it is a tad belated, but you know that whole Shabbos thing. Anyway, just think no matter how old you get, I will ALWAYS be older (lucky me)
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crow......

I know how to eat crow...... It snowed, I was wrong, I admit it. So hope everyone had a good Shabbos. I am debating whether or not I am gonna go to Wal Mart, I know the excitement of being me. Anyway....... Had a nice lunch with a whole bunch of single chicks today. I do make a great meat pie if I do say so myself. S was there which was nice, she made garlic potatoes, which I love, there were a couple of VERY young girls there, which just made me feel mad old. I cannot believe I am gonna be 30 next month. Geez, someone get out the violin.
F OUT!!!!

It is NOT damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is NOT gonna snow!! Boss informed that if it snows he will come pick me up in his suburban. The problem with that is then I am stuck at work until he wants to leave. The ensuing problem with that is that while he might be frum, he is not the one that makes Shabbos in his house, his wife does! In any case, if y'all could say some Tehillim tomorrow for Tzvi Ya'akov Ben Chaya Golda. He is someone I work with and he is having some surgery tomorrow, so just keep him in mind.
Anywho.... I washed all the milchig dishes, switched to fleishig, made the meat pie for Shabbos lunch, and put in a load of laundry. I am SUPER productive, not.....

So, R, just have faith that everything will end up the way is supposed to, and it is always worth fighting for.

Tuesday night is Bath night

The title refers to the fact that on Tuesday's and Thursday's I go to the H's and get to give baths to their 2 girls. The following is an update to the rest of Sunday. So she lost her ring, I found her ring. Sunday afternoon was just a flurry of activity. I went back to S' house after I found her ring, and she made homemade Chinese food (of course, in China they would just call it food), anyway after that we went to A.C. Moore. I bought lots of yarn, and beads, and I am NOT allowed to buy any more. Hear me, ANY MORE!!!!!! So life here in Baltimore is cold and boring. Ice SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, going to go watch the fashion show show. G'nite y'all
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hallo Hallo....

Good morning people. I had a lovely Shabbos with the H's. Menachem Moshe and I are buddies now. After I came home S came over and showed off her new head accessories. She has style, she has panache, she has enough scarves to choke a horse! She beaded a little, I crocheted a little, it was utterly exciting. We had hot chocolate and conversation, it was really nice. Tossed and turned a bit last night, despite the Ambien, woke up really really late. Decided to organize all my bead jewelry, that was fun. I might want to think about looking into a jewelry box, instead of a bag, but whatever. Planning on hanging out with S later, as she uses me as a guinea pig for her cooking. I am all about it. Then we are off to A.C. Moore for their last "Midnight Madnes" sale of the season. That is where most of my yarn, and beads, and stuff comes from. I do not know what I would do if I did not have a hobby. Crocheting and beading and such definitely keep me sane some nights (shut up everyone who just snorted!) Anyway, I plan on watching the RAVENS today before I do any of that stuff. I need to go find some food, so I am outta here, have a great week everyone!

Traffic Blows

Good Morning all! Shabbos was VERY sleepy. I tried to go to C's Kiddush, but my ankle said no no no. Sat night I left as scheduled to go to Cherry Hill to see J & D. We saw Rent which was, as I thought it would be, PHENOMENAL!!! Anyone who saw the play is going to want to see this. It is true to the play, but different enough to keep everyone interested. I then spent a sleepless night at D's parents house. J & I were up until after 2 talking. It was just so so so so so nice to see them. I miss them a ton, and they live far freakin away. In all, it was truly a pleasure to see them both, and to finally meet my neice (Abby the dog) she is a cute little thing, but does not like new people so much. Anyway, since I got 2 hours of sleep last night I am contemplating a nap, then waking up in time to watch the Ravens game. Today they take on the Bengals, In Cincy. much Hatzlacha to them since I think they are gonna need it. The Ravens only seem to do well against 3rd string quarterbacks and that is NOT who we will deal with today. Anywho....... I guess you can tell how tired I am by the amount that I am rambling.......
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it was painful to watch at times, and it was LONG (requiring overtime). However, eventually the unthinkable happened, and the RAVENS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They led 13-6 at the half, and managed to have to go to overtime. Just as exciting as the Ravens win, is that fact that in doing so, the Steelers LOST! I really really really really do not like the Steelers. I know that it makes me small and petty, but I do not care so much. The Ravens are now 3-7 which means that we are NOT going to the playoffs, but on the plus side, we messed with Pittsburghs chances for home field advantage in the playoffs and that just makes me grin! Anyway, I was sort of productive before the game. I did laundry and washed dishes and went food shopping, and I went out and bought some shells for under my less than tzanua blouses, so that was all good. I even remembered to go to the keilim mikvah and tovel the blade for my blender so that I can make smoothies. I still have more laundry to put away, but I think I am going to either curl up with a book or crochet....... that is all from scenic Baltimore!

Update

Now that my phone is dehydrated (hamayvin yavin) it is working again. Those of you that know the number feel free to use it. Those of you that do not... tough noogie! I am recently back in touch with an old friend (older than me, anyway) and it is nice to recall those times. Well at least sometimes it is. I am back from giving bathes to H kids, and I am all wet. Also, my Shabbat food is in the oven. Anyway, gonna go unwind and watch a movie with S. G'nite y'all
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Another Saturday Night....

I know I have used it before, but if you don't like it, don't read it! I hope everyone had a Good Shabbos. I got my car back Thurs night, and as a bonus when I went to drop off the insurance check, the mechanic (angel that he is) told me that he absorbed the cost of the deductible, and that I did not have to pay it. How cool is that? Incidentally, that was a hell of a run on sentence. I think I am going to watch that Bobby Darin movie tonite, "Under the Sea". Anyway, have a good night y'all

MAZAL TOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mazal Tov to the H family. Welcome to Menachem Moshe. He is KE"H ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!! He handled the indignity of this morning with minimal fuss. I am so tired. I am gonna take a nap I think. Not much exciting to do today. Gonna nap and watch the football game (Ravens not losing yet), then tomorrow I will take car to mechanic, and deal with Geico.

TIRED............

I have a feeling that if SM ever reads this she would say "what do you have to be tired about........ You did not just give birth!" In any case, I am zonked. Perhaps too many craft nights. I am having such a good time tho, hard to stop. In any case, for Shabbos I am off to SM & D's. Shalom zachor for baby boy H, who IY"H will have a new name Sunday. Which reminds me, I am not gonna sleep well tonite (too wound up) and we will see about Shabbos, but Sunday I have to get up at (gulp) 7, which is JUST WRONG for a weekend!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........

Let's see if this post shows up. I mean I have to give S some fodder to read. Had a lovely time this evening with S as we traipsed around for the H's. Baby Boy H is really really stunning. Have a new obsdession. Making bead jewelry. Would like to make one that does not fall apart aftewards, but we will get there. To anyone reading this... I am HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway, F OUT!!!!!!!!!!

It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAZAL TOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to SM & D & the entire H clan! Baby Boy H was born at 4:46 this morning. B"H both mother and baby are doing well. That is all from here.

Gutten Mo'ed

Well the title really says it all. A Guten Moed to you all, or for your Hebrew minded types, Mo'ed Tov. I had a lovely first days of Sukkot at the H's house. SM still has not gone into labor, so Yom Tov was actually kind of quiet. I am trying to make it an early night tonite, cause I am tired. Anyway, off to work tomorrow!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Shabbos!!!

So it is Friday. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are both behind us. I made it through the fast, if anyone cares, with just some dizziness and naseua, and a MASSIVE headache, that finally abated around noon today. Work was hectic, as if people suddenly woke up today and went "Crap!, it's Friday, and I have NO food." Pretty crazy! Mazal Tov to Meishar on his bris, welcome to the Tribe my friend! (That's him and his yummy self at the left there!) Anyway, so my plans for Sukkos are to be at Chez H, unless SM goes into labor, in which case I will probably go to the senior H's, since they invited me. Hope that everyone was inscribed for a good year. Shabbat Shalom from Baltimore!

The Weather Blows.....
