Overheard by me

Last night, while dining out, in one of those restaurants that places all the tables really close to each other, so in essence everyone is eating together. (At least I was not on a date, as my neighbors were)

I could not help but overhear the couple next to me chatting. They were apparently recalling the story of how they met and came to be on this date. Which I surmised was #1.

Anyway, only in our religion and our great state could this story actually happen.

The girl was in a car on the way down to Baltimore. It may have been her brother driving, or another guy, not quite sure about that.

The date, was hitchhiking down to Baltimore. Her car gave him a ride.. they got to chatting and the rest they say is history.

It is a very cute story.

And it seemed like a great first date. I wish them all the luck and best in the world. And should they ever make OS you betcha I am going to sign:-)

Have a great weekend!!!!

Next week.. I will explain the new volleyball strategy, we learned an actual play. So far we played twice, and won 2/3 each time. With #3 games going to 17. So not too shabby…

The Long and Short of it

So The wedding was amazing and beautiful.
Some minor activities to note (I lost the ketubah briefly, and oh yeah, I fainted at the ceremony, and then the limo never showed at the end) but all in all an amazing party.
Here are some pics of the flowers:




































They also had a cake:




Nice right?

After the wedding, there are 7 days of parties. In between which I had, 1 birthday party, and 2 engagement parties. I am sure there were more things, I remember not sleeping a lot... so please tell if I forgot anything.

Not to mention that I lost my job and lost the volleyball championship and began dating...

So its been crazy.

My days have been spent looking for a job and trying not to mess up a new relationship.

I have been on a few interviews. No offers and nothing terribly exciting. At this point I just want a job and normal life..

I hope to start that by blogging again.

Hope all is well....

10 + Day Recap

Its unbelievable how fast life can be sometimes.

I will now attempt to blog about everything since my leave of absence.

Wed Dec 27^th:

After work I went to get my nails done. I went to my moms place because I had to get a French (light pink with a white line on top, no idea why they call it this) manicure. And frankly, my place is not skilled enough, and why shouldn’t I let my mom pay?

So after this type of polish it renders one pretty much unusable, since it is way prone to chippage.

So I did it (P.S- My moms place is not as friendly as I think mine is) and when I got home, I pretty much did nothing. Which was ok because I had to wake up bright and early to get ready for….

THE WEDDING!!!!

Thursday Dec 28^th:

Yes, the day has finally come…

This will be a short one until I can get into details at a later date.

I woke up at 8, because I had to be at the hair place at 9 to get my hair done. It took 2.5 hours!!! But I like how it came out… here are some before, during and after pics:

My mom also got her hair done... I have a great after:

G-ma didnt get her hair done... I mean she did, but nothing I took a pic of. Sorry.

Anyway, after we had to go home, and get everything together for the cars and then head over to the hall.

We were having our makeup done there...

Quickie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI!!!
(Its been a crazy few days, there is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to write about, so I have to get it organized and then there will be MEGA amounts of stuff to feast on)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What I did on my Xmas vacation*

The wedding is coming up soon,(um T -3 days?) so little bro and I ventured to that part of town and helped other brother build some furniture. Little bro and I built this lovely "media center" while other bro put together 1 1/2 dressers.

It may not look like much, but it took a long time. Any idea how hard it is to install a drawer? Even an IKEA one? [Which Ray affectionately refers to as the Nazi box] then there were hinges for the doors!!!!



** The original title of this post, as dictated by Dan was "My friends are boring" but I decided against that and outing them, because to me they are not boring. We just have different ideas of fun.

After building these monstrosities, pretty much all day I was in no mood for a party, let alone three as Dan et al wanted me to attend, no matter how many new people would be there. Sorry.. maybe next time? So I went to camp Shpahyer and watched some Xmas movies. It was nice to have the campers all together again.

Good times...

Sho, sorry I ditched you, G-ma came in and we had family dinner to honor her arrival.

Not sure if I will post again pre-wedding, but I hope to post festivities (which in our esteemed religion last 7 days!!!!)

So if not, Happy 2007!!!

As promised

So I promised you a post about David. Now I have since been on several dates with him, and um none with Jack. Although he did email me, text me and call me several times.. I think we are destined for friendship.
But I am not one to go back on her word, a quick synopsis:

David and I apparently went to the same college. Now this is a stretch since I went to an all woman's college and he went to an all male college, but in theory they were the same University. Now for reasons I wish to not discuss, I spent some time on the men's campus. He saw me around, but didn't do anything.
Now a few years ago, a mutual friend that went to school with me in Israel and him from High School decided we should go out. I was OK with it, he declined.
Fast forward to about a year ago. Someone calls my mom and says they have a guy for me, its David. Can they set me up, I reply in two parts, a) No, I dating someone (BC/BF) and b) are you sure you got this right, because it was already suggested and he said no.
Now the X and I break up... and I get a call... he knows you broke up, do you want to go out? Once again, I think my mom has totally got the message wrong, so I clarify to make sure he wants to go out.. he does. In between I go to Florida on vacation and get sick.. eventually we go out... Its nice... nothing special but not awful. I decide to try again, what have I got to lose?
Long story short... many weeks later I made the right choice, it def got better with time..

So that's the cliff notes...

Ever want something really really badly? And then when you get it, right away it is exactly like you thought it would be... then it opens a whole Pandora's box of things and S!@# you didn't need to think about? And questions you didn't need to ask? It makes you wish you never got it and went back to the questions and thoughts you were having before?

Yeah. me neither

Web site of the day!

I thought this was cool

Tis the season

… for car accidents. I a can not count the number of accidents I have seen in the last two days. I am sure the weather in NY is to blame as well. Its some weird Amazon rainy misty thing… so for the shameless plug, if you or someone you know should find themselves in the unfortunate situation of being in a car accident or slip and fall or other type of accident that leaves you injured, I may be able to help… that all depends on where I am working at the time. I am looking for a new job, but the pickins are slim I tell ya..

Now on to other business.

I have been busy. Not that I didn’t have time to blog, but I didn’t know what to blog about. See I have gone against several cardinal rules of mine.

First and foremost, I may or may not be dating more than one person at a time.

I will have to give the condensed soup version, because frankly, my brain can’t handle more.

There are two guys:

Jack and David

Descriptions:

Jack- technically I met him first. See when I was dating the BC I forgot to take myself off those websites for the first few weeks, mainly because I forgot I was on them, since nothing ever happens. Well Jack was a guy from one of those sites and I couldn’t go out with him because I was seeing someone, and I don’t do that. So I politely declined. Then the breakup happens (not the movie, but they pretty close in timing) and after a while I decide it cant hurt to go back to the web. And Lo and behold, he comes back. So now I have to go out right?

Here is the deal. On paper he seems like my guy. He cooks, he has shiurs and stuff in his apt. He is a non-practicing lawyer because he is the head of a think tank in Manhattan and really outgoing an nice. Of course no-one is Mr Perfect.. the probs? 1) Short. (I am too, but I want to be able to wear heels and at least be the same height, when I wear heels he is slightly shorter) but I am getting over it.. I hope. 2) He is 33. Which is only 7 years, but…. 3) Divorced, no kids. Which is not the problem at all. The problem is why… I have no idea. Does he have commitment issues? Trust issues? Some wacko psychotic condition?

So we have been on 3ish dates? Its been like two months I think.. its really weird. But yet I am eerily drawn to him.

Stay tuned for David in another installment…. :-) [how else will I get you back?]

P.S- I switched to blogger beta, and as I am technologically retarded I ant work it, so you will have to deal without the lables and other things... unless I get a really hott tutor.

WELCOME BACK SUS!!!!
