In listening to other people’s experiences traveling abroad (said “other people” shan’t be named here)…
…it comes as no surprise to me that most people think that Americans are spoiled, overindulged, self-entitled jerks.
I understand that it can be a little daunting to be in a country where you don’t speak the language, but still - you have to actually...

I got a bill for $2k+ for giving birth to Ezra, and then I got a bill for like $300 for Ezra’s clinic visits when he was a week old.

Today's Astrology: Retrograde Mars and Mercury's...
xibalbadance:
Today is a day for angry people.
Mars is in retrograde.
Mercury is taunting the backwards Mars.
Mars is getting angry about this and is making everyone cranky.
Later today, though, Mars will punch Mercury in the face and will make everyone feel better.
No worries. I’m sure it’ll happen soon.
Well, this clears things up a bit, then. Explains why I’ve been so moody.

Rehearsal last night was surprisingly smooth. We have a new stage manager/techie guy, and I have to say that for being so hastily added and brand-new to the production, he really did a terrific job. A real team player! I love that. :) *~*~*~* I think I’m on my way back to normalcy as far as health is concerned; got through my workout with nary a complaint from my body, so I pushed myself a...
Had a terrible nightmare last night where my office building burned down with many of my co-workers trapped inside.
I could hear them screaming.
“Horrific” doesn’t begin to describe it.

So, I found someone selling their Ashford Traditional spinning wheel for a reasonable price down in southern Maryland - $300, includes the wheel, lazy kate, and four bobbins - a great start for a beginner like me! I want to get this book, too, to help me out, but what I really want to do is sit with someone else who spins and say...

You really, really need to take the time to read this.
And then, after you read it, realize that the United States is supporting this.
And then, after you realize that - GET ANGRY. Reblog. Write to your elected officials. Explain to them that Zionism ≠ Judaism!

Why does Pandora rock?
Pandora rocks because I can hear songs like “Automatic” by the Pointer Sisters, randomly, and it makes me giggly and giddy and dancey.

I want a grilled cheese sandwich.
With pickles.
Seeing as I’m giving up cheese for Lent next week… I don’t see any problem with me doing this today.

So Lent starts next Wednesday.
I’m Jewish and so Lent is not really my “thing” - it’s supposed to be a time of penance, reflection, prayer, and self-denial in preparation for the commemoration of Jesus of Nazareth’s execution.
Although I know a lot about Jesus and really dig him as a great spiritual visionary, I don’t really believe in all the “lord and...
Yes, dear Jesse, the Shamrock Shakes are out now. I heard an ad for them on the radio while I was eating my creme egg and pretty much just plotzed.
My diet doesn’t stand a chance in March. :)

Well, the IRS has accepted my tax return, and I will hopefully have my refund very soon. It’s going to go a long way towards helping with things that need to be paid for… and I’m hoping to have a little, TINY bit extra to maybe put towards a spinning wheel. I love my drop spindle, but I am intrigued by and interested in learning how to spin on a wheel. I’ve seen some...
