So, earlier in the evening... the girls went to Saba and Savtas house to look through boxes of stuff. While sitting on their sofa and spending Abba's money, my grandmother offered up nosh. Now my sibling of course dont refuse. Pringles and Popcorn it is then...
The popcorn is done popping and Brenda comes over and offers me some.
I am not overly fond of popcorn, so I decline the offer.
My grnadmother asks me if I would like some. She even offered me a bowl! How could I refuse??? So I accept.
The next thing I know I am being handed a serving bowl full of popcorn... I only got through a little of it, but I feel slightly sick!
g'night mush

MY TOSHBAH TEST WAS PUSHED OFF TIL SUNDAY AND I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hello world. I am trying to be depressed, because, well yeah... I saw Amalia and we hung out together for about 3 hours. It was so nice. I miss you Amalia! I really really do! You have to make Aliyah! Ok, enough for now...
Mommy and I looked through the table clothes that Savta gave us and stain sticked some of them and put them into a wash. they are very old and getting yellow, but I have one unstained one that I like! Its so cool...
It rained tonight, if no one noticed and I want it to rain some more, but the source of water refuses to turn on and therefore we are stuck in a dilemma like this...
ok, no more to write right now, so g'night mush

Today Savta gave me a cutting board, some string, and kitchen utensils. It was fun. Today Brenda played dress up in my closet and took the clothes that I had put into the "I dont wear pile" and now she cant say I gave it to her. She stole it! Not that I really care. I don't seem to care about a lot lately... sigh, ok.. time to study some more... I pray for clear skies tomorrow and luck for all those who could use some. g'night mush...

I shall now update my blog and fill you in on all the details since I last posted and you'll see why I havent posted for such a long while. Friday night- shul, supper, walk around aimlessly for three hours, read, sleep. Saturday- shul, eat, walk to aviv and say hi to Sara, walk to Saba and Savta and shmooze for two and a half hours, stop in by Tayla and say hi, go to the lipkins say mazal tov and abduct Amalia, wander around Rechov Rashi and then take Amalia back to the lipkins, go home and get a big heavy book after talking about sherut leumi and cookies, say havdalah, work on bentchumi, go see The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, come home at 1:30 am and go to sleep. Sunday- wake up, go to school, sport, practice piano, attack bagels the cookie factory and walk back to school, ezrachut, sugiyot, home, bentchumi, bentchumi, and more bentchumi... Monday- wake up, go to school, boring, come home, help brenda do a project for school, go to sleep at 1:30 am again.
Ok, Today- I got up and went to school (see the pattern or routine, whatever it is...) had classes til 12 and then went to the Beit Mishpat HaElyion. It was a nice siyur. Went home. bentchumi, wrote a plane letter for Sara, and went to my piano lesson. I now can play all four pieces from begining to end. 3 well and 1 not so well, guess which one it is!
Ok, now I have to study for Toshbah, because I have a lot to read and not a lot of time to read it in!
G'night mush!

Ok, quick pre shabbat post... I got ready for shabbat today. Typed another page for my bentchumi and thats it. Ok... i need to get dressed and decided if I should wear my boots or my clogs, and since it looks like rain I this boots are the much more sensible option! Shabbat Shalom! mush

I feel weight being removed from my shoulders and I am slowly but surely starting to breathe regularly again. The pressure that I am still worrying about it: My bentchumi, sport report, music report, toshbah test... I am trying not to have an anxiety attack over the stuff that isn't due in the near future, like 10 bagruyoit and piano, siyurim for sherut leumi, next year, my life... But I SENT IN MY APPLICATION FORMS FOR LIVNOT and now all I have to do is wait for an invitation from them to come an interview... Now instead of pressure, I'm nervous!!!!! Butterflies in my belly bigtime! I think to alleviate some more pressure, I'll finish my bentchumi (which I always say...) g'night mush!

Ok, I have five minutes to blog and then its back to writing my bentchumi. Its coming along nicely, I just wish I didn't have to write it. Today was a good day. I got my shoe fixed, I got pictures, I wrote part of my paper, and organized part of my room... Ok... I have to finish this paper off. g'night mush :)

"A remarkable effort of Utopian ideals..." My new favorite phrase...
My morning... I woke up and was getting ready to get ready to go to school. My phone started ringing from no where (you might recall that nowhere is located on top of my printer...), so I got out of bed and limped toward it. Raizi, my munchkin, was on the line and she had devised a plan that sounded better than school. Stay home! There WAS a catch, but nothing to bad ;) work on bentchumi the would day and she was going to come over to use the encyclopedia! So I agreed, because after sport class and walking all day, my legs were not agreeing with me when I told them to move properly. So I went back into bed and read a chapter or two and then was roused to come choose a paint color for my room. It is going to be so cool! I then started working on my bentchumi, because that is the reason I missed school today. I expect to finish most of it by the time my eyes close for the day. Raizi came and while she was using my computer I made breakfast and succeeded in burning hash browns for the first time ever. (the burning part that is). But it was only a bit burnt and they tasted really good anyway. So now since I took a break from working on the famous bentchumi, I will go back and finish it off, so more pressure is lifted off my shoulders! ok, byebye! mush

Just as a side comment... when spell checking the word bentchumi, it gives me the option to change the word to pentagons... where did they come up with that?

After a day of running/walking/being cold... there was nothing more that I wanted to do except go to sleep. So I staggered up to my room and put on my pajamas. I wandered into the bathroom, examined my toothbrush, decided it was a safe implement to put in my mouth and brushed my teeth. I got back to my room and was starting to feel warm, safe, and cozy under my blankets when... My BLOG! I think I have been neglecting it for a few days. and I'm sorry, because it might have missed me! everything has feelings! so I decided to blog a bit and I have and promise to write a nice long entry tomorrow! ok, g'night mush!

I really did get an 89 without ten extra points on my machshevet test. My 93 is still there, for my bentchumi grade. My muscles have stopped hurting from sunday. I have a siyur at ReimAhuvim on feb. sixth! I am going to get an interview date at Livnot when I send the forms in next week. I am trying to get one for NefeshBNefesh, but my luck is stretching thin.
I am babysitting AviChai and we are going to watch a movie later and eat more kabobs. When I est kabobs my name is freddie. He is always a booger. I need to finish my reports and practice piano, so g'night mush...

Yesterday, I got to school late and we got out early. I had a funny adventure coming home. Me, Tamar, Raizi, and Yael all got a ride with a teacher who lives in Ramat Beit Shemesh, but on the way home she stopped at the mall to pick up some pictures that were ready. She parked and went in and Yael decided that she needed the bathroom. So the two of us made idiots of ourselves, trying to get the elevator to go up, find the bathroom, run around in the mall, and try and get back before the teacher got back to the car. Well, we made it and accomplished the list items above. My abba picked us up from RBS and then I came home and did homework, til Mommy was ready to watch a movie. We watched Running Mates and the only good thing about it was that it made time pass without us noticing. Lo and behold the fast finally ended and I ate something and then ran to the Clarks. I babysat for two hours and then came home to find my family watching funny videos on in my fathers office. I was told to stay and watch them so I did and then when I had seen enough I went upstairs to go read, sleep, and do some homework. Well, things did not go according to plan. Brenda and Michal were studying for a Torah test, so of course I helped. Then when Michal left after finishing the first of the six prukim, I helped brenda learn the rest. And by the sixth one, she went to sleep and I finished writing down Rashi for her. I went to sleep late because of this and I was tired. I am usually tired, so I dont see why this should influence my waking up schedule. I woke up this morning, waited for the bus for an hour and when it didnt come decided to go home. So I did. I translated my essays for livnot. Practiced some piano and received good news. I got an 89 on my Machshevet test without the ten points! hehehe! I am happy. AviChai and Ezri came home from Gan and School.
Funny conversation:
Mommy: Avi, what did they give you in gan for lunch today?
Avi: a drum stick, cous cous, and some fruit in sauce.
Mommy: Did you eat it?
Avi: no
Mommy: none of it? not even the drum stick?
Avi: I ate the drum stick and the cous cous too, but not the fruit in sauce
Mommy: why not?
Avi: I dont like fruit in sauce.
Mommy: but ezri loves fruit in sauce
Avi: yes, but I dont like sauce.

It was very cute. Me and him shook kabob (waffer cookies) crumbs all over each other. It was hysterical :)
Now I am trying to look at the sherut leumi sites and it wont let me. I will keep on trying though, otherwise I will be in a bad predicament in the morning!
g'night mush

Always expect the unexpected and you wont be surprised. Yeah right! It'll still be a surprise. I mean, I did NOT expect to get a 93 on my bentchumi, but these things happen, no? Why are so many good things happening this week? they do NOT match my mood at all! Today was basically a good day. True, all the buses were old and dirty; and the sky was gray all day long; and my head still hurt, but for some reason that didnt matter. I feel pretty light hearted for some reason. Free and hurting. My shoulders, ribs, legs, and upper back are in painful agony from gym yesterday. I thought maybe I slept on them funny, til I noticed the twinge in my legs. By shabbat I should be in working order I hope... I was informed that I have a Toshbah test on Sunday... I need to study and get notes, cause I dont know whats flying! Ok, all for now cause I have lots to accomplish tonight and the night is still pretty young! g'night mush!

Well, this is a new one... I am writing my blog, and Ora, just having learned of its existence is reading over my shoulder as I type. To say the least... I have comments and opinion floating through my ears, in the left one and out the right one. Why, if you're wondering, did I pick this arrangement? Simply said... Ora planted herself on the stool to the left of me and therefore is speaking into my left ear! She is now laughing hysterically! She says not hysterically, but I think she just doesnt want to inflate my ego, cause she know I write so well and its all SO funny! :) I am allowing myself to be modest today, very modest... hehehe... watch me boast!!!
In gym class today:
24 pushups... you need a 30 to get a 100. So 24 is pretty close and I can always fix my grade, so its good!
131 dilgiot in a minute and 160 is the maximum amount of point, there to fore... I am in good standing with that too...
Sit ups were, I must confess, a bit of a disappointment, seeing as I only did 39 and for that I would only recieve a grade in the the 70's but seeing as I never could do any, 39 is good for the first time ever!
I didnt have any real classes today, except torah, but I missed half of it anyway because of gym... Then I got to correct my classmates essays... you can find some of the most interesting mistakes in those!
Ora and I then came back to my house, known to me as home and we were greeted by... drum roll please... quiet! no Ezri, no Avi, no Brenda, and NO Eli! :) :) :) :) :) It was NICE! right Ora? All but the last one came home later on in the day, but we shall excuse them for it this time... I am so considerate. Oh!
Since Grandpa and Aunt Caroll are leaving back for America tomorrow, we went out to eat for supper. It was a pleasurable experiance and I hope they come back so that we can do it again!
Thats all for now folks, so g'night mush...

Tonight the wind is stronger. I wonder why its getting so angry outside. Today was a boring day and not going so well either. But when I got home everything changed and it turned out to be a very pleasent evening. Mommy made a chocolate cherry jelly roll for me to take to Saras house. We celebrated Gilas birthday and everything was fun. We "got drunk" and watched a movie and had an awesome time. I'm so tired and I want my muscles to ache, but alas, I guess I'll have to do more exercise to feel it... ok, I'm going to go make myself hurt! g'night mush...

Its so windy out and the air is dry and not too cold. One of the most splendid kinds of nights! nights like these and romantic book put me into a poetic mood and whimsical humor. I keep pushing a bit of unfortunate knowledge out of my mind. I do not dare write it here for fear that it will come true. somehow I dont think they'll cancel my history test that I havent studied for yet.
To tell you about today. I recieved an 89 on my tanach test. its not dreadfully bad. it isnt excellent, but the teacher doesnt seem to like my way of writing and since I got the best grade I will consider this a victory.
We had the most lively discussion with our dear mechanechet. I reminded them that everyone is different and we arent all made out of the same mold and there is no reason we should be. everyone has there faults and their greater attributes. but people dont like to listen to me speak my mind. they listen, but dont take it to heart and they try to deny it just because their first impressions were opposite my own. It is a frustration thing to think to much but it brings so many possibilities with it to, so I wouldnt trade my mind for the world. I can reach pretty far into it too when I feeling like stretching.
There is a hair dryer sitting on top of my printer, which is why my phone could not sit in its usual spot. I wonder why its there. then I remember... think back to when you walked in the rain and your shoes started to mold, so you dried them... I know I would never use it for my hair, because that would take effort on something that would just wind up disheviled anyway, so why bother. I tend to usually be disheviled. I guess it is me.
I have been composing this blog for quite some time, I noticed, so I will have to end it and go study for my history test.
I hope I have amused you enough, or given you something to think about.
gnight all and gnight mush

I woke up early today, 7:30, so now I have lots of practice for waking up tomorrow, although I have to be up at 6. School! I flourish under routine and pressure, but I dread it all the same. I did my laundry today, some homework, practiced piano, read and fed my romantic side. *sigh*... There are some things in life which you want and never seem to get. or you strive to get them and they always slip out of reach of your fingertips. life is confusing. fun, but confusing all the same. I wend my way among my thoughts and they are as spread out and free floating as a gas molecule. sometime I wish I was like a solid, but where is the adventure of imagination? Liquids can be ok I guess, because maybe then they would be free to float and wander, but still stay attached to my memory and then no thought would escape me. an idea? ah, but I was talking about thoughts wasn't I? I am so confused and I dont know what to do about next year. I would be nice to give, but I have a feeling I would be able to give what I want. Today started out as such a clean and promising day and then the sun set and the party started and chaos reigned and all was in pandemonium.
g'night mush

Another do nothing day... or so I thought. Then I cleared all of the garbage out of the bedroom! I vaccumed and I mopped! Then I took a shower. And then headed out to Jerusalem and went to the kotel and then out to eat, it was yummy. and then we went and annoyed Shoshana in the apartment. Lori was helping with the annoying, so... ummm, lots of funny stuff happened in Jerusalem, but Lori has blogged about it already and I really need to brush my teeth and sleep, so read her blog... www.lorip.blogspot.com... todays is funny! (the "funny" is supposed to be pronounced like fozzy bear would pronounce it... just for you information...) ok, g'night mush
