be your own dog

yael's teacher told us that she was asking all the girls what they wanted to dress up like for purim, queen esther ...queen esther...queen esther...cowboy...queen esther...queen esther... guess who broke the trend? not everyone is a follower. peer pressure. hah!
this shabbos we had a shul lunch in honor of the siyum hashas. it was seperate seating but not like different sides of the table. the women, and some kids, were on their own tables. i thought the food was pretty good but it was sad that i didnt get to sit with my family for a shabbos meal. i guess we made up for it the night before. this was the first week in a long time that we didnt have any guests. (jaime doesnt come the week before midterms and finals) it's also getting late enough that the kids eat before shabbos. WOOHOO soon its gonna be kiddush and bed. oh good times are a comin'. i have midterms this week monday tuesday and thursday, then a week off. any ideas? devorah is still teaching and the kids are in school. that leaves me hanging out with angela and making everyone crazy. good luck to them.
