“Don’t dream it…”

Tonight, after a light dinner and cool walk, I watched my daughter as she saw the Intro to Rocky Horror for the first time... as she studied the lips and whispered, "Wow!" and then stuck a slice of cheese on her head, as a hat, and then sang along (she learned the words to the chorus after her ...

Just some things.

This past week has kept me oh-so-busy. Like, Bizzy. And it's been good. But, it has not left me with the time or energy to put my pen to paper to keyboard, or what have you. So, as a way to fill you in (or an attempt to make an excuse), here are some things. Some things I've done since we spoke ...

When I dressed as Queen Esther two Purims ago with a "Queen In Training" sign ...

He nailed it.

"Every time you watch Bravo it's like 'I want to have an '80s Party!' 'I want to have a Flash Mob!' 'I want to do a blind junk-food taste-test!' I'm waiting for you to ask me for a dog Bar-Mitzvah." -My husband. Dog Bar-Mitzvah, eh? A Bark Mitzvah. He's onto something. Just have to make sure Jill ...
