Bah Humbug

No, it’s not that bad. Give me some credit. We’re a week away from Channukah. All but one main gift is wrapped (one isn’t even here yet), I’ve got some extra goodies that will be here on Wednesday on their way as well. I think I might pick some of their stuff out and set it aside for… later. I don’t know when later will arrive, but it’s tempting. While we did not over buy, we did wind up with some extras. I am all about setting them aside as special gifts for special things.
The 21st is the first night. We’ll be at shul for a bit for their festival, and my Gram & Aunt are coming over for dinner that night. The next night my Gram & Zaide are coming over. Busy week ahead! I need to make sure we have candles, and the menorah is clean, not to mention the house. We need to make latkes. Fresh or from a mix? I don’t know yet.
The kids are out of school the 2oth – 4th. We’ll go up to LCS I think, and the park, and some other stuff. Michael has some bowling coupons, so that’ll be fun.
I had this huge, actual post planned out, but it left. Maybe it iwll come back later.
It’s official, I can’t function without Michael

Michael is sick, so I took my dad with me to BJs for our bi weekly shopping. I made sure Dad had his BJs card (we got one for DH, one for Dad) and off we went. We shopped for the usual haour/hour and a half. We’re checking out. Oh FUCK! My card is in the car. I run to the car, with a sinking feeling that my bag is on the back of one of the dining chairs. Um, yup. I call dad from outside, ask him to charge it and I’ll transfer the money back to him. I cannot fucking believe I’ve left my bag home. Well, I can, I usually leave it in the damn car. And Michael is usually with me. You know, with his man wallet in his back pocket. I just load up the cart and keep track of what we’ve spent. On the bright side, I saved 35.50 in BJs coupons on stuff we do in fact actually eat.

I’m Still Waiting For You, Rivki
KATAMANDU, NEPAL — (December 7, 2008)
Chani Lifshitz
Chani Lifshitz, Chabad representative in Katamandu, Nepal, wrote a letter to her close friend, Rivkah Holtzberg, following the tragedy in Mumbai. Lubavitch.com presents a translation from the Hebrew that appeared in the Israeli paper, Yediot Achronot.
(lubavitch.com)–”Write,” you told me only two hours and ten minutes before they entered your home. “It’s been a long time since you wrote anything about shlichus,” you noted. “Write something, Chani, for me!”
So I’m writing you, Rivki. For you, my confidant for the last four years.
I know, I’ve posted the hell out of this Mumbai tragedy – there are tragedies happenineg every day, why not post about those? Mainlybecause itmes about Mumbai find their way to my screen, and other items do not.
This is just heartbreaking and demonstrates how lost one can feel sometimes. It’s hard to go on when you lose a friend, relative, anyone really, but to lose them in such a violent way, and not really know what happened. I just can’t imagine.
Quick n Easy Dinner Tonight

Yummy too! The kids helped make mini pizzas with Thomas’ English Muffins, tomato sauce, cheese, some pizza seasoning and I made a few with mushrooms. Pop em in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes (depends on how “done” you want your cheese) at 375F.
I reheated some chops for dad, and we had salad too. I love easy dinner nights.
