FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FILED MY DIVORCE PAPERS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TIME MARCHES ON..........

Ok so I just realized that I have not posted since the day of the elections, or the day after...... I have been remarkably busy at work. In fact, the fact that today is Sunday means NOTHING and I will head into work for a few hours. Of course I think that my boss did it on purpose, so I would miss the game today. The RAVENS take on the DALLAS COWBOYS. We will see how that goes, but I am not too worried, after all the Cowboys are not exactly having a stellar season. In any case, I will not get to watch, since I will be supervising the washing of the dishes at work. On a completely different note, can you believe that Thursday is Thanksgiving already? I will (surprise, surprise) be working on Thursday. Only half a day I hope. My Abba and my sister will be here for the meal, which I still have to find time to cook. I may have to give up my chavrusa on Tuesday, which I really do not want to do........ I think I will start to cook tonite, and I might actually *gasp* buy dessert instead of cooking it. Anyway, F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 more years.....

Well, it appears as if Saturday Night Live will have 4 more years to make fun of "W". I have no idea if that is a good thing or a bad thing at this point. Anyone who knows me knows how conflicted I was before voting yesterday. I really disliked both candidates, and I think our country is in a sad state when people go to the polls trying to figure out which candidate they hate less. I need to make Aliyah, that is the conclusion that I came to. I mean, I knew that anyway, but this just caps it. "W" has had 4 years, and has done a whole lot of nothing, but I guess we should give him a chance to prove that he can finish what he started.... I dunno, I guess I am kinda ambivilant (sorry Hon). However on a completely different note... how about dem RED SOX. How cool is that??? VERY EXCITED. Being an Orioles fan, you cannot help but dislike the Yankees, and anyone who beats them is OK in my book. Anyway, I am going to go lay down, since I seem to have the plague........
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

ALRIGHT ALREADY!

Ok, I get it. I have been informed that I have been slacking in my blogging (you know who you are!) So here it is, yet another so exciting glimpse into my life. Let's see. Yesterday was the english anniversary of my mother's passing, so that sucked. Friday was 1 calendar year since my jack-ass of an ex-husband walked out on me for no particular reason, so that sucked too. My boss was in New York today, so that was actually MUCH fun!!!!!!! I am doing laundry, which is boring, but must be done! That is about it, strangely my life is not so exciting!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday, rainy Sunday

Well the weather here in B'More absolutely SUX today. I mean, beyond belief sux. It is rainy, and misty, and cold, and blech! Today is the perfect day to stay in my flannel pants and sweatshirt and watch the RAVENS stomp the hell out of the Bills. I hope everyone has a fun day.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!

Yitgadal v Yitkadash......

Today is Lamed Tishrei, which is my beloved mother's first yartzheit. Please say extra Tehillim for Necha Etta Bat Fruma. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Another Saturday Night......

There we go, finally. Ok FINALLY done with the freakin Yom Tov, thank G-D for that. I hope everyone had a lovely Festival of Tabernacles, I did but MAN was it long! Tomorrow I have to work, which bites, but the Ravens play late tomorrow night, which means that I will not miss it while I am at work. I watched Spiderman (Again) with my flatmate tonite. Anyway, I am going to go.........
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I have not written in FOREVER. I apologize. Here we go Work good, no life, so life good. Happy end of Sukkot everyone.
F OUT!!!

Shana Tova

I want to wish everyone a Shana Tova. I know I have not written in a while, and I apologize, but really no one reads this anyway. I hope everyone had a meaningful fast, and B"H that is over with. I love Sukkot. I like the whole outside aspect, although my allergies do not. Anyway, with L off in the Holy Land, I have not had a lot of girl bonding recently, but that is fine. I got certified to Mashgiach at parties, so that means that I have to be at work at 5 am Wed to prepare for the bris we have. What a way to go into Yom Tov! I am going to need to sleep like a madwoman after that! S'anyway, I really have nothing productive to say, so I am going to go. have a great Yom Tov y'all!
F OUT!!!!!!

So it begins....

I hope everyone had a great Rosh Hashana. Now on to Yom Kippur. I hope everyone has a meaningful fast. As for myself, things are really moving along. My year of aveilut is almost over, just another few weeks, and my official mourning will be over. I say official because in my heart some part of me will always mourn my mother. The time is coming too when I will be eligible for my civil divorce (yay), so I just have to hope that my ex-husband is a man and files the papers on time. Anyway, I need to go take care of some stuff, just know that I am thinking of all of you!
F OUT!!!!!

Head of the Year

Just wanted to wish everyone a ktiva vchatima tova. Also best wishes for a shana tova umetuka. Gosh that looks weird in english. Anyway, I have to go to work now........
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Ok so this weekend was awesome. Got to bond with L, which was nice. She got broken up with last week which sux. What moron would break up with her? Got to hang with M to, and that was really really nice. I love presents, hamayvin yavin! Anyway, work continues to suck, but hopefully I will find something better soon, where they do not yell and me and degrade me for no particular reason all the time! I am going out on the porch now to watch the rain roll in.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday......

Isn't it sad that that is the most exciting title I could come up with. So B"H I have been working my tushie off, and earning money. Today I did not leave work till close to 7:30, but it is all good. If I have ignored people I apologize, I was involved in something that may or may not come to fruition, but it is enough to say that I have learned that I am a valuable person. I have made a new friend (who is really an old friend) who exasperates me to no end, but I know would do anything for me, if I really needed it. On the super cool side, L is coming for Shabbat again,which makes me happy. We will giggle, and stay up all night, and act like we are 4. So I am going to shower and shluf, and think about stuff.
F OUT!!!!!!

sux to be me again

Another Saturday Night......

You know the song. Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody. Except that B"H I really do have lots of people that I can count on. I do not think I say thank you enough, so here is a short list. I realize that most of you do not read this, but what the hell, it is theraputic for me. J- I miss you, and wish you and DAH the best. D-I miss you as well, and was really excited to see you 2 weeks ago. L-the shabbos we spent together was eye opening, and G-D Bless you for it! N&A glad that you are settling into your new house! Brat- can't wait to watch the O's lose with you and Abba tomorrow (later today) B&B you guys have always been there for me, and I know will continue to be, even from Aretz! J&E-I miss you guys, and miss going to piano bars with you! Ok I think that almost covers it, I am sure I left people out, but that is the crux of it!
On a new topic entirely........ Michael Phelps is YUMMY!!!!!!! I just cannot get over how great he looks in those ridiculous capri length swimming trunks. Ok, I know he is like 12, but I am entitled to look! In general, I have been quite impressed with the US athletes, my one exception would be the "Dream Team", boy do they bite! Anyway, it is like midnight, and I am just starting my blog reading, so I will go do that. F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TAX MAN COMETH

What is that they say about there only being 3 certain things in life? Anyway....... Spent lots of tonite trying to do my taxes with my friends husband, who is an acct. We got most of it figured out, but were missing 1 piece of paper. Stupid IRS! So tomorrow I will get to do this again....... And do my state taxes. G-D I cannot wait to be done with this. Anyway, I am going to go watch the late coverage of the olympics. E&J if you read this, have fun with the bookshelves!!!!!!!! L, if you read this, I miss you, and cannot wait to come visit you.
F OUT!

Another Week Gone (well almost)

WOW is it pouring outside! I really dislike thunder and lightening, especially when I have no one to hold on to. There are aspects of being married that I miss, but on the whole, really MUCH MUCH happier now. Anyway, I cannot believe that I have been at my job for a month and a half already. Sometimes it feels like I have been there forever, and sometimes, like I just got there and know nothing. Today was really really nice, boss was not there. Aside from one really pesky customer it was quiet, and I learned some stuff about checking orders from a mashgiach persepective. Anyway, since I plan to sleep a lot on Shabbat, I am not sure that I will have time to write when I get home tomorrow when I get home (gonna get an early start on the nap), and hey, in a total change of subject the lights just flickered, ick! So in conclusion, thunder and lightening bad, job good, financial situation, looking better, in general F happy!
Shabbat Shalom Y'all
F OUT!!!!!!!!

mazal tov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAZAL TOV J&D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! WHAT AN AMAZING SHABBOS!! I AM STILL AMAZED BY HOW GREAT IT WAS. LEE, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT TOO IS A "HAMAYVIN YAVIN" SO ANYWAY, LEE WAS HERE, AND IT WAS REALLY NICE. FRIDAY NIGHT WE JUST HUNG OUT THE 2 OF US, GIGGLING A LOT, LIKE WE ALWAYS DO. SHABBOS DAY WE HAD LUNCH WITH MY FLATMATE AND 2 OF HER FRIENDS, IT WAS REALLY NICE. LAST NIGHT WE WALKED AROUND FELLS POINT, WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE SINCE I WAS A FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE. THE ONLY BAD PART WAS THE HEAT LIGHTENING, BUT REALLY IT WAS MORE COOL THAN SCARY. WE WERE UP TILL 5 TALKING, THAT IS REALLY LATE WHEN YOU ARE 28! TODAY WAS KIND OF BORING, BUT I DID BUY A GORGEOUS (IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF) DRESS FOR J&DS WEDDING. CANNOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE MY EXCITEMENT FOR THAT COMING EVENT! AND AS AN ADDED BONUS I GET TO SEE BRAT, AS SHE WAS INVITED AS WELL. WELL THAT IS ALL FROM HERE, I AM TURNING IN EARLY.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

MUSIC, SWEET MUSIC

As you can tell, we have come to the end of the 3 weeks!  Thank G-D for that.  I had a stomach bug Sunday and Monday, so was not so anxious to fast.  I called my Rav who told me to begin the fast, but if I was ill, to break.  I am eating some of the rice pudding that I made, that my stomach was too icky to eat last night.  Homemade rice pudding is YUMMY!!!!!!  I have nothing of substance to say, which is not unusual, so I will close with this.  My abba fasted!  Not only that but he did not shower, or shave!  Those of you who know him understand how proud that makes me!  Anyway, today was incredibly busy at work, B"H.  Anyway, am going to the Goffins for dinner, so I will be back later!
F OUT!!!!!!!!
