It's summertime!!

I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation.

Birthday Parties! Weekends away! Weddings! Sun! BBQs!

Yay :)

Let me just say that The View from Here is becoming one of my favorite blogs. Anyway, he links to a friend of his, Shai, who gives a list of 56 things that makes Israel Israel.

I love #33.

Perfect weather

for a BBQ last night.

Thanks to MB for braving the fire escape in a downpour to create a Yom Ha'atzmaut feast. Who says that it has to be nice outside to have a barbeque?

This is somewhat of a pathetic observation, but it's good to be reminded that just talking things out with a good friend helps tremendously. Because being there for everyone else takes more of a toll than you realize. Just a reminder to everyone that when you think you have no one to talk to, take a gamble and trust your friends to be there for you.

Should be intuitive, but sometimes I need reminding.

In and out of context

My friend was IM'g me today, and I was telling her how lousy my day has been. She IM'd me back, but oops. She mistakenly entered it into one of her male co-worker's IM windows, instead of mine.

What did she say?

'look at mine and u'll feel better'

Getting my frustrations out

After a weekend where nothing went wrong, but I was just left discouraged, I went back to a great outlet this morning.

Jon, I finally beat your score: I got 587.1! And it only took me 2 months.

Ha!

all by myself

I did my taxes, all by myself, with just two items confirmed by TK, accountant extraordinaire. Now all I need is to find a printer, so I can get them printed and sent by tomorrow. Maybe I'll just buy a new one. Though that might not happen by tonight, seeing how work is going so far today.

I need a vacation.

Erik's story

Link to an article of someone I went to college with, who was injured in a January bus bombing in Jerusalem.

Chag Kasher v'Sameach

It's snowing here. Very pretty, but I'm not so happy with my sister who said all I needed to bring home was a light winter jacket. On the other had, maybe it's just my perception of what a light winter jacket is that's changed.

Enjoy
