So all day yesterday I thought it was Wednesday, and I was a little bit worried about fitting in shopping for Rosh Hashana into Thursday (which I thought was today) when I hadn't even finished the menu. And then this morning I looked at the calendar, and guess what? Today is Wednesday!

I'm going to try this recipe for avocado soup to make for ( Read more... )

We're making matzah balls for our soup and we don't have enough matzah meal...is there any reason I shouldn't substitute some of it with flour?

Do photo places have services where you can bring in a bunch of photos and they'll scan them for you and give them back on a CD or a flash drive or something? I know there are services where you can send it in by mail but I'm more interested in something fast.

Around my birthday, my father put money in my account and told me to get myself some jewelry with it. Around the same time, my debit card expired and I didn't get my new one until a while later, so I pushed it off.

Ever since I got up from shiva, people will occasionally say to me, "Have a good day," and not that it upsets me or that I don't appreciate the sentiment, but it generally leaves me thinking, what on earth could possibly happen to make me have a good day?

Saw Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the first time today. I'm not posting spoilers here (although spoilers are welcome in the comments), just in case I'm not the last person on the internet to see it, but what on Earth is wrong with Joss Whedon? I mean, he's been doing the same thing for years now--surely somebody has thought to let him know ( Read more... )
