I was popular today. I got three phone calls! Everyone wanted to talk about school. It IS starting on Friday, so I can understand why. It was an interseting day and nothing spetacular happened. I went grocery shopping. It was the girls and Saba. So my Mommy and Lori walked around together, Saba and Savta walked around together, and Brenda and me switched back and forth. It was an experience. I helped make supper. Big surprise there, no? Then I was chosen to help take MORE stuff to Lori's new apartment. We took her big chair, groceries, tools, plants, blankets, and a fridge. Me and abba got home at 12:30, so timewise... it wasn't to bad.
I had fun playing on my ipod all day. I can't wait til I take the bus everyday. Then I'll really get to use it!
g'night!

Lori was angry at me this morning and it wasn't my fault. But I helped her all day and her apartment is now full so furniture, food, clothes, and other stuffs so she cant be angry at me anymore.
I learned today that my oldest little brother is more odd then I realized. I can't believe the way his closet is organized. Speaking of organization... I have to clean my room and set it up how I like it cause Lori gets to have her apartment her way, so my room is now going to be set up my way.
Wasn't this an intersting post?

School starts on Friday. There are no more next weeks or anything standing in its way. Its coming closer! I can't decide if i'm happy or not. I'll have the bedroom to myself again. I'll have a routine and schedule and so I won't sit around trying to figure out what to do, i'll be doing things not trying to think of things to do. But then again, its school. I hate school in Israel! I'll also have to deal with people, ah! It is 12th grade though so it ought to be fun. Maybe thats why I want it not to come yet... I need more time to prepare for it. I don't want to start messing it up already! oh well. I can't do anything to stop it from coming, so better on Friday then tomorrow!

Getting ready for Shabbat... busy busy busy!

On wednesday, my grandparents gave me an ipod for my birthday. I was happy. I spent the whole night putting music onto it and trying to figure out how to work it. My head was going to explode, so sleep was impossible. I finally told myself, enough! its time to sleep now... its 3:30 am... so I closed my eyes and drifted off the sleep. I woke up and start organizing all the songs that I had downloaded onto it only hours before. Then I showered, got dressed, and went downstairs to see who had stolen my contact case. Its still missing, so I had to put in a new months, even though I had 2 weeks left of wear on the other ones. After that, I spent the rest of the morning/afternoon/early evening at my grandparents, where Lori, Eli, Brenda, my Abba, and me put together all of the ikea storage systems that they had bought on tuesday. There was so mush of it that we had to go back after supper and did not finish til 23:00! we didn't leave til 12 though, cause savta was talking to abba. Saba gave Lori and me a demonstration of how he is the cheif ant inspector and he squashed them as they try to crawl in from under the glass door. It was comical, but lori will tell you about that in greater detail. When we finally got home, Brenda and I started to organize the Lift List! annoying as all heck!!!! now its time to go to sleep once more, so good night moon.

I was informed today, that all I am allowed to do when i'm home is sit in the house and help my mother, take out the garbage, water the plants, pet the cats, be nice to my siblings, clean something, or sit at the walls and get yelled at. I am not allowed to leave the house unless I want to pet the cats. I can't wait to get back to school, lie about my schedule, and then go do whatever the hell I want.

I decided that updating my blog at night, when I'm tired or don't feel like updating my blog at all, is most certainly the wrong way to go about this, so i'll update now and if anything else happens to me today (interesting that is... like a really scruffy puppy turns up and i'll leave the rest of this for dreamland...) where was I... oh, that's right, well then, i'll let you know.
I woke up early today to babysit. They are my own darling siblings, but to be able to answer the telephone, I figured I should be awake. I made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, that Lori was supposed to make. I fed the sunshine and the moonbeam breakfast and lunch. I even started to review chemistry again... it is a useless project. Boring as only boring can be, I have to finish, but not at the moment.
Did you ever notice that when ever you get really busy and rushed, well you're busy, but it comes in spurts. Kind of like the way the water was flowing, x that, spurting from the faucet in my bathroom earlier...
I also came to the conclusion, that reading peoples blogs is a lot like reading crappy paperback novels (I love that line, thank you nickelback). Some people are pathetic, others just stupid, and some don't really give. all in all it would make a sappy soap opera if someone took a couple of peoples blogs and brought them to life.
I miss American Textbooks.

Well, what did I do today... not much of anything... Someone said that they do the same things that I do everyday, so I guess I shouldn't feel SO bad; eat, sleep, read, and water the plants! Thats what I did today... I also went swimming for almost two hours and THAT took a lot of energy I also helped carry a washing machine into my house and that was heavy, so that counts too :) I read Sara's blog... everone should start reading it... Its funny and saralike. The only things left on my list of stuff to do today is work on the famous puzzle some more, go to sleep, read a few more chapters in my book, get the clorine out of my hair, and then continue listening to my music... not in that order. I can't fall asleep and then finish the other things EVEN! that was for the sunshine and the other unfortunate souls who don't know the correct word is too or also. g'night (g-nig-iht) (it comes from the idea of k-nig-iht) y'all.

Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset... Guess!?!? Fiddler on the Roof? Right! me and Lori (and the stragglers) watched Fiddler on the Roof, once shabbos was over anyway. I finally saw the last 20 minutes. Lori finally saw any of it. Did she like it? I don't know. I didn't ask... she could comment later so i'll leave her alone now to play snowmuncher.
I'm rereading Harry Potter and i've decided that I definitely like the British version better than the American one.
Its getting late. I'm calling it a night, because thats what it is.
I need something to do...
Today was not a busy day at all.

Late Night + Early Morning= Sleepy Sammy...
It was a Jerusalem day. Package Challah, meet up with Raizi, walk to town, find Sara and Avi, walk to the bus station, get on a bus, come home, make supper, EAT supper, update my blog, work on Lori's puzzle, Sleepy Sammy goes to sleep...
How was that for informative and short?!?!?!?!
Good Night Moon!

Busy Day...

Today was a very busy day
It started at four thirty am when we got in the car and drove away
from our house and traveled foward toward our destination
the was nothing to do in the car, so we decided upon thoughtful meditation.

With the sounds of "Construction Zone" and Alan Sherman floating in the air
By the time we reached the airport, I was SO glad we were there!
Saba and Savta were arriving, for good this time, its true
The sky was still dark and murky, but it was slowly turning blue!

Upon entering the airport, everything was quiet, whispers wafted across the room
People tried to suppress their excitment, but it kept escaping with a boom
Everyone was happy, elated, carefree
When would the Olim get here, its them we came to see!

The busses pulled up, the Olim popped out
The "guests" all waved flags and started to shout!
Welcome to Israel one and all
The speakers continued... If we stand together we will not fall!

Hypocrisy forgotten only happiness remained
We followed the little children out to wait for Saba and Savta and be entertained...
The ballon man was still around, so we watched them run and fight with swords
They chased each other, played in the fountain, and got caught in the electric doors.

Where are Saba and Savta? we wondered, thought, and waited
But it was all worth the effort when they emerged, somewhat belated...
Catch a taxi, load it up, start the engine, its time to roll!
Straight to our wonderful Grandparents house, where the baked ziti was waiting in its bowl.

While watching one of Savta's DVDs we ate a yummy lunch
The sticky little children made the floor say "crunch!"
The house is mostly empty, the Priesers have said goodbye
"So now its time to sweep up," I thought, with only a little sigh.

We stalled our departure and kept Saba and Savta awake some more
Savta looked like she could fall asleep, even on the floor!
So Mommy recommended "naptime" and on that we all agreed
But Malky was still stuck in Jerusalem with her suitcases and in need

The rescue van departed from the Polly house, at almost two o' clock
We made very good timing on the road and Eema was in shock!
But shocking as that was, fitting the suitcases into the car
Was an interesting procedure, we hoped the door would not remain ajar.

But we shoved and pushed and placed
and I think made use of the good space
A very big accomplishment was now tucked under our belts :)
Like driving in Great Britain, with the Englishmen and Celts!

Homeward bound we were, but two more stops became appealing
Iced Coffee as number one, the caffiene almost made me hit the ceiling.
Lori's apartment was stop number two...
at least she has one, i thought, and she won't be living in a shoe.

Actually, it's a very nice apartment, it comes with the perfect place
to put a beanbag chair, relax, and fall asleep with a smile on your face.
But home was pulling us toward it. The call could no longer be denied
So we went home and made supper, greek salad and french fries!

Ok, so we didn't eat any potatoes, but sometimes you have to dream
Instead we had spicy soup in place of pumpkins that were creamed
We put aside the take out that was to be delievered to 999 1236
I hope you enjoyed the soup, Saba and Savta, I send you each a hug and kiss!

The day has truly been busy, but the swimming pools waters do tempt
us three sisters to put on bathing suits, not one of us exempt
Breaststroke, backstroke, crawl, and even almost drowning
we dove after colorful rings and performed other nautical clowning.

Now its time to wash the chlorine out of our hair and off our clothes
I think its time to lay down on my bed and start to doze
Once again i'll start my project of becoming the first human inactive volcano
But the morrow will bring the sunrise and a list of chores to be done-o.

(poetic license extended- if you don't like it, feel free to file your complaints with the complaint department... by the way... thats not me... i'm not the complaint department!)

Hi y'all! I finally found time to update my blog, so I better make it a good one after skipping a few days... I participated in a family activity today. My parents, siblings, and I went to my grandparents house and cleaned it from attic to garden. Thats the top most level and the bottom most level, so I thought i'd specify. I sweep the upstairs, Eli swept dirt from the attic all over me, I swept up the mess, my mummy cleaned the bathrooms, my abba put tried to stop Eli from making a bigger mess in the attic, Lori weeded the garden with Brenda, Ezri, AND the sun shiny dibbles help. BREAK! Lori, Brenda, Eli, and I dug in the dirt, while the munchkins wandered around inside. BREAK! this was the lunch break. PIZZA! yum :) After two more hours of this, we started to wash the floors. We all got wet and soapy and cleaned our feet off :) We were content. Avi Chai got really wet, so he couldn't be a sunshine anymore. He decided that Ezri was no longer a moonbeam if he wasn't allowed to be a sunshine. "Ezri is a Sandbox," he stated with a very straight face. Home we go... we got there... Showers for little people... Supper... At supper Avi Chai, once again clean and dry, was being his sunshiny self. While fighting over a piece of paper with his accomplice, he proclaimed that he should be allowed to have the paper. His defense: "I bought that paper!" Get a life and a job kiddo, then maybe we'll believe you! All for now!

Today is still today and what a busy today it was! By six o' clock this morning I was out of bed and wandering about. Bedroom to Bathroom, Bathroom to Bedroom, and again and again and again. Lori slept through the whole thing. At 6:45 I deemed myself awake and congradulated myself on the wonderful job that I did makeing myself look like me! Sneakers, Long Denim Skirt, Black Shirt, and my hair in a wild disarry!!! Perfect!!!
"Lets go see if cubicle is still alive and on the porch," I said to myself. He was there. I gave him an egg. He ate it. My turn...
Nope, as you might have begun to think I did not eat an egg. I had a Greek Salad. (had you going there ;) )
Ok, it's time to go to work. My first (and now that I have completed the experience my last) time waitressing at Reshiet! To be able to do my job, I first have to find a way into the building. Not through any of the doors on this side of the building! The only open ones are on the other side of the building which are through the closed doors on my side off the building! Great! Simple! I think not... but luckily a person passed by as I was wondering what to do, so I stopped wondering and banged on the door! Go me!
Put table clothes on the tables. Get out a stack of plates, cups, bowl, napkins, forks, spoons, knives, and then put the food on the table. Arrange everything so that it is in no rational order and voila! you're done until the wild savages come to eat! Oops! Wait! Here they come! What we need more tomatoes? ok, i'll go cut more tomatoes! Cucumbers, too? sure, just a minute. How in whos name do you close the door to the fridge. There went my finger! It is officially bruised, being the purple color that it is. Aah! thats the trick. Just ram your butt against the door and no worrys! Time to put the pancakes out! What? More pancakes? They're on the table already. Why done you use you eyes! Refills on the milk (with never a please). Back to the fridge we go. Ah, The Savages are leaving. Now to clean up their mess and prepare for even more savages.
The process starts again... Put table clothes on the tables. Get out a stack of plates, cups, bowl, napkins, forks, spoons, knives, and then put the food on the table. Arrange everything so that it is in no rational order and voila! you're done until the wild savages come to eat! Oops! Wait! Here they come! Ok, what do we need refills of. Pancakes, sure girls, no problem. half an hour later all we need are some more forks and the pancakes are finished. We haven't even seen the last half of the groups cheerful, American faces. French toast comes out. Ewww, what is this. (Well it goes by the name French toast, but really its eggy bread. Thank you British people for that term!) Nope, this is whats left. Maybe if you wouldnt have slept for that extra two hours, you could have had pancakes. Its ten o' clock. The savages have to get to class. Why are they all still here?! it's 10:20! Ok, i'm clearing the tables. Biggest mistake I ever made. That brought on a who new parade of questions.
Where's the yogurt?
What happened to all the cottage cheese?
Farina, What happened to it?
Where are the pancakes??????
Boom! BOOM! Boom! BANG!!!!!!! Lets, shoot them little savages.
.................wait...............wait................wait..................wait.....................wait................... ah, they all left!
10:30! I'm done and out of here, because no one is telling me I have to do anything else.

Home free... I want to take a nap... nope, its luunch time already... back to the kitchens. Same routine. Set the tables. We don't have anymore forks of plates. Ok the storage cabinet is downstairs and outside. How am I supposed to know where??? Found it. Found them.
Stupid Israeli cleaning woman, "Why didn't you take the garbage out this morning. Everyone else takes it out when its their turn. Why didn't you? You think you're special or something so you don't have to take the garbage out?"
Me: "Maybe because I didn't know I was supposed to take it out?!?!?!??!!??! Ever think of that?????"
Stupid Israeli cleaning woman, "Now you don't have anywhere to put the garbage from lunch."
Me, "Don't worry about it. I'll take it out. I wouldn't want to bother your gracious idiocy."
So I collected the garbage and took it out. I figured out how to use the dumpster. You push the weird buttons and you smoosh it all in.
Shoot, Gd damn it!!!!! The door locked... Go around again sammy... run run run... huff puff oof! Ok, what needs to be refilled. And thats how my morning went. All to make 25 dollars. Pathetic, no? five and a half hours of !@#$% . Wonderful!
Home, we will go home... and home I went... thank gd... Nothing really happened the rest of the day, but I was longing to crawl into my bed and sleep like an inactive volcano for a thousand years or so, but no luck...
I'm going to get started on that project, so if you don't hear from me, you'll know what happened ;) !!!!!!!

Ok... this post is for yesterday considering that its after midnight, but seeing as my day really just ended and I have not yet gone to sleep it really is a recollection of my adventures YESTERDAY and not a few paragraphs about things that I have not yet done.
My adgenda today was not really very full, but I accomplished a lot.
First I cleaned out the cabinet thats under the sink in the bathroom. I rearranged all the mostly empty bottles and gave all the empty toilet paper rolls to my mommy. Maybe we'll decorate them and make napkin rings.
After that I learned how to make beads out of clay, then made the beads, and then baked them, so now I have lots of cool beads!!! I love fimo!
I also bought the rest of my school supplies. A binder, some sheet protectors, and lined paper are what has been chosen to house my scribbles for the year. My final year of high school!!! yeah!!!
I made no headway on beating Bowser in his castle though. Its sad... I'll have to finish that soon!
Sara appeared during this activity. She thinks i'm nuts talking about beating bowser, but when you've beaten the rest of the game its kind of important!!! She became addicted to my clay, though. She made herself, Sara, in all her glory... breaking bricks!!! good ol' Sara. you can always count on her to be herself!!!! yay!!!!
The oddest thing of the night though had to be what followed me and Lori home from near the Yaffa's house. I hate cats. The little orange thing follwed me to my front door and was about to go in with me, so we put him in the backyard and feed him and we'll see if he's still there tomorrow. He's awful funny looking and his name is cubicle.
So, thats all for now... tell you more tomorrow!!!!

Is the first post to your new blog always make you feel so intimidated? Oh well, my new theory... it's my Birthday so what the heck!!!I'll write all about my pathetic birthday... to appease Lori... I made the most awesome supper that I ever ate before and then had to cajole my little sister into setting the table for me. Then after everyone ate and was full they abandoned me at the table and I got to clear the whole mess!!! I put away the food, loaded and reloaded the dishwasher, wiped down the table, (to top it all off, when I asked Eli to help me clear, he procceded to tell me how he didn't make the mess and its not his fault I made supper and he ate it... figure that one out). After that my family disappeared to wherever and I was left alone with Avi, the sunshine. All of a sudden, the telephone rang. It was Mr. Lutsky. The little voice that tells me to quit while i'm ahead that I don't own, told me to hang up on him. So I did. Then, to keep Avi occupied I turned on neopets and set him to playing and I left to my leisure opened up my birthday cards from my grandparents. The card from my saba and savta was touching and very much the same as every year. The card from my grandpa, on the other hand, was short and to the point (and rich ;) ). And important point, not to miss, the telephone rang again... and it was Mr. Lutsky... whoopie...Well, after arriving at the seventh castle and killing mario and luigi a few more times, my parents came home and my mother took me and lori to get ice coffee. The same freaky dudes were there as the day before, thought we were nuts and we thought they were nuttier then us. Coming home after that led to big surprises... I checked my email and beat my all time record... THREE whole emails!!!! Thank you guys! Boy, did that lift my spirits. So I went to sleep. (after loading the dishwasher again.)When I woke up this morning, there was nothing to do. So I decided to take a shower. I realized that you should always take showers when you're bored, because it takes up time (and water, but you could just sit in the shower and pretend to save on your water bill if your so worried.) After sterilizing myself, Lori informed me that we were taking a trip to the bank with my abba. I'm getting another cash card! yay!!! We magically acquired a new backpack for the sunshine and he is longer jealous of Ezri, considering his backpack is cooler then the one Ezri got!Eli, who overheard Avi's comments, was getting the look of "ITS NOT FAIR!" on his face, so I informed him that the backpack was a gift from the bank for opening and account. The thing you don't want to hear on your birthday from your siblings is definitly "So, how old ARE you?" was released into the air from Eli's mouth as he wondered why i'm going to have a cash card and not him. So, all in all, my birthday is a series of unfortunate event... what the heck! its only my birthday and i'll have another one in a year anyway!!!! right?!?!
