Oh Sue. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm up too early as I need to hem my costume. Nothing like being a last minute girl.

It's not so bad. It's better than waiting around all after on your day off waiting for a locksmith to call and them never showing up. Only to be told this morning that a) they came to a house where they were told there would be no one there to discover there was no one there, and b) they claim they called when you were home all afternoon and noone called. Which was my yesterday.

Sue, msbelle - feel better.
Kat, what's the costume?
I'm a little sad that I'm not observing this year
For me, "observing" is usually a word which is going with strict religious rules, so it's fun to see it connected with costumes and candies, even with the word "not" before it.
Even with Purim, it's kinda rare to see grown-ups in costumes here, or even teenagers, for that matters. And usually Purim begins right when a fast (connected to it, of course) ends, so my at-the-time poor-and-achy-for-water head doesn't have any room for stuff like costumes (or candies. Or fun. Or anything which isn't water), and therefore I can hardly remember when was the last time I wore a costume. What a shame.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Happy Hallowe'en, all!
Happy Birthday, Daniel!
Happy Anniversary Jilli & Pete!
Happy sickness, Sue & msbelle - no, wait.
I'm feeling surprisingly peppy, but my nasal membranes are informing me that I'm getting a cold. Unfortunate, since I'm singing in a concert this week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought it was a little weird as I was typing it, but what are you going to do? Although I have observed already today a couple of little cuties walking down the street in costume -- one little superhero and one little ladybug. Cute!
Which was my yesterday.
Ugh! That's no fun.

Happy Birthday Daniel!
And happy anniversary to the Reasons!
Teh cranky making part of the locksmith thing is that the woman was, I'lll get right on it when she thought it was their fault. But when she thought I just didn't show up, she was like, "I don't know when they'll be able to get out there."

There's kerfuffle in my office because one of my coworkers is selling her OSU/Michigan football tickets for ONLY $500 a piece. She bought them for $53 each. The whole thing kinda makes me queasy.

Hil! Great news about your soon coming-to-Israel! I'm looking forward to seeing you again (notice no use of "if" in that last sentence).
Ouise! How lovely to post with you! How are you doing? Other than the possible-cold, which I hope wouldn't interfere with the singing too much.
I have observed already today a couple of little cuties walking down the street in costume -- one little superhero and one little ladybug. Cute!
One of the most fun parts about Purim is seeing all the kids in their costumes, walking around, some with school bags and the like, even, all over the place. Adorable.
