November 16 - 24

Sorry I got so behind!

November 24, 2009: I decided to play SET, by myself. I was rusty but enjoyed my time of brain stimulation.

November 23, 2009: I went to Boston, for all of 5 hours! I cannot wait to find out if the trip was worth it - well, it was worth it, but yeah you know.... This is the Park Street T stop - and apparently the first subway stop ever.

November 22, 2009: We met up with our cousin Eric for brunch today. This is pretty typical - faces and slightly blurry... it was a fun morning.

November 21, 2009: What a dedicated (and talented) husband. He can apply make up, and well! Avi you are really lucky to have Ben.

November 20, 2009: How cool is this? The Renaissance Tower was reflecting the sky!

November 19, 2009: So, you can watch TV in NYC cab's - they even have GPS. Got to love 2009!

November 18, 2009: I found a penny today, I hadn't found one in a long time and it made me smile!

November 17, 2009: I went a bit highlighter happy trying to find the right color that wouldn't shmeer, etc. Atleast it looks pretty, right?

November 16, 2009: I hadn't used a thumb drive in forever, but needed it for a presentation. I didn't realize I had such a collection.

November 11 - 15

Enjoy!

November 15, 2009: Nothing says fall like squash. I had a delicious acorn squash topped with cinnamon tonight. Makes me get really excited for Thanksgiving.

November 14, 2009: So this is meant to be rotated another 90º to the right, but still looks cool. I walked into Georgetown tonight and had fun taking pictures of the wall around the Russian Embassy. The stones had an interesting color from the damp past 3 days.

November 13, 2009: Day 3 of rain! Thank you Hurricane Ida.... at least my wellies are getting a workout!

November 12, 2009: We took a field trip to the Apple Store today. The kids had a blast learning about iphoto and making photo books and slideshows and we got t-shirts!

November 11, 2009: I tried this minty water - oddly refreshing. Think spearmint gum but water....

November 5 - 10

November is flying by, I don't know how I feel about that!!!

November 10, 2009: I looked down on the counter while doing my dishes and thought this looked too much like Spongebob, sad but true.

November 9, 2009: Seriously? Neopets? I don't think my neopets can possibly be still alive any more! Hope the Neopets animal welfare people don't come after me....

November 8, 2009: 'Tis the season... time to bring out the humidifier for the winter months. I got myself a new one this year and am quite pleased with it so far.

November 7, 2009: Mazal Tov JSA! We had the annual Bar Mitzvah party and it was a blast!!

November 6, 2009: I follow the Kabbalistic (no I am not a Kabbalist) practice of wearing a red string from Israel to absorb negative energy around me. It falls off or breaks when it can no longer absorb negative energy. Mine fell off today after two months. Oddly enough I put on right around the time I sent my application to Wheelock and today I found out the last part of the application got there - weird!!

November 5, 2009: Z-Ville went to the Tenley Fire Station today. It was a great trip and we learned a ton about how they do their work. There were 2 calls while we there too!

November 1 - 4

Holy November, Batman!

November 4, 2009: First morning it's below 40 degrees, brrrr.

November 3, 2009: My first Froyo experience. This place is awesome, self-serve and delicious!

Novermber 2, 2009: I typically do not like to brag, but this is my blog and I am proud of my midterm grade!

November 1, 2009: I am moving up in the world of coffee - I admit I still use my instant Folgers but I do have a french press now!

October 28 - 31

Where did October go, really!? 10 months of the challenge gone - wow.

October 31, 2009: I spent my Halloween baking oatmeal cookies! I had a huge container of oats from making apple crisp 3 weeks ago and I decided to bake! They came out so good and my place smells great as a result!

October 30, 2009: I cannot believe Sue Thomas is back on TV (syndication of course). I loved this show - it gave me hope every Sunday night that I could go somewhere, well 4 years later and I'm somewhere!

October 29, 2009: I cannot believe that DCPS gets it milk boxes from Wawa! The closet Wawa, that I know about, is in Annapolis!! I miss Wawa!

October 28, 2009: A christmas tree, in October? Next year they will be putting up after Labor day...

October 23 - 27

Where has October gone!?

October 27, 2009: I registered for the LAST time at AU - wow it is so crazy!

October 26, 2007: It's back, and working! It took 6 weeks but it's fixed (and I was right about what was wrong!). They were really nice and sent it with 4 packs of batteries: "My device went to New Orleans (3x) and all it brought back were batteries"

October 25, 2009: I shared the secret garden that I found in Georgetown with mom today - the fall colors were amazing!

October 24, 2009: Let the wild rumpus start!!!! See it! Really! It was so artfully and beautifully done - mom and I loved it!

October 23, 2009: Mom tracking. I love this website it shows were a flight is over land - if only I could use it while I'm on planes.

October 16 - 22

Little bit of catch-up!

October 22, 2009: This is the class I am interning in. They are so cute! They made models of local businesses and we put it together, they were so proud of their work!

October 21, 2009: One of these spellings is not like the other.....

October 20, 2009: Hanson was on campus?! Talk about flashback to 4th grade...

October 19, 2009: Back on nasal sprays..... oh well it helps me through the winter.

October 18, 2009: Dad and Barb brought fresh herbs from their garden for me, and I enjoyed them in my eggs tonight - so delicious!

October 17, 2009: LAMBCHOP!! We went to the American History museum today to see the Julia Child kitchen and I found Lampchop in the giftshop, oh childhood memories!

October 16, 2009: Woohoo! Gluten Free friendly sushi place - their sushi is out of site too!

October 9 - 15

Happy fall weather!

October 15, 2009: October or November out there? It was 40 and rainy today...ick. I went through 2 pairs of pants and socks. Gives new meaning to chilled to the bone!

October 14, 2009: I had a month and a bit more without Newsweek! Due to an address change and then a renewal delay. I was very happy to get my Newsweek today, my mailbox had only been filled with junk and bills for the past few weeks.

October 13, 2009: There is this beautiful, big, church across from campus. I don't walk by it frequently and today the sky was so blue it put a smile on my face after "one of those days."

October 12, 2009: The past 4 Mondays I have been unable to watch one of my favorite TV shows. I was very happy when I was able to watch the Big Bang Theory tonight! A little Sheldon makes Monday end with a smile.

October 11, 2009: I was so nice relaxed Saturday morning, since I didn't wake before 7 to go to work, that I must have taken Sunday's vitamins then - confused me a little bit on Sunday morning!

October 2 - 8

October is flying by already it feels like!!

October 8, 2009: I majorly dislike dusting. The one chore I drag my feet doing! I dusted 2 weeks ago and already this much has accumulated, ick!

October 7, 2009: It was SOO windy today! Up to 40 mph gusts. I tried to capture this poor tree getting pushed so far by the wind!

October 6, 2009: I had dinner with some JSA friends today in the sukkah on the quad - I love Sukkot!!

October 5, 2009: IKEA was true to their word. The box this bulb came in said it would last some 3500+ hours. Since I bought the lamp and put in this bulb LAST August I never changed it, until Monday... that has to be 3500+ hours or more!

October 4, 2009: I love ironing, it probably comes from when I did it at home in my high school days I was allowed to watch tv. You can see that nothing has changed!

October 3, 2009: Chag Sukkot Sameach!! We had a fin morning at Religious School shaking the lulav and etrog!

October 2, 2009: This little squirrel was so adorable as it munched on its afternoon acorn.

September 28 - October 1

October already, really? How have 9 months of the year gone by!!!

October 1, 2009: This is my left sound generator. Two days ago it arrived in the mail after being gone to get fixed. Tomorrow it's going back in the mail to be fixed AGAIN!!

September 30, 2009: This is Minnow. Minnow is the class pet in the classroom I am interning in. He's a really cute (and chirrpy) little guy!

September 29, 2009: The sky was so blue today! It was the first crisp fall day we have had and was so delightful!

September 28, 2009: I spent Yom Kippur at Chava and Michael's. While breaking the fast Dovi couldn't decide on a salad dressing, and had them all lined up to choose. I saw a photo-up and Michael and Aryeh saw a chance to be goofy!
