Shir and Nilly- I cannot imagine how you feel. Thank you for the updates and many good thoughts to you, your families, and everyone caught up in the conflict.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Not really new news, but still updating: more air attacks over Gaza. More rocket launches from the Strip. Wounded on both sides.

Oh, you two. May this pass quickly and you get some peace.
I've laundered and cleaned up and done the Target and grocery runs. Got a nice door hanger for my scarves. I got three gorgeous ones from my mom and decided I needed to do better to keep them and the rest that I have.
And my childhood angel are on my tree.

Now was the very first time I opened a news site today just to check on the weather for tomorrow, not the news.
Wow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Nilly and Shir, our thoughts are with you and everyone there. I hope reason and peace can prevail.
Totally this.
On a lighter note, happy belated birthdays to theodosia and quester, and thanks to all for birthday wishes to me! I had a really good family trip, and am now super excited to be home for another week of vacation!

Oh, Theodosia, I think I missed your b-day by skipping!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shir and Nilly, I haven't been on much today, but your safety -- and any hope of peace for the whole region -- have been very much on my mind.

Bday greetings still much appreciated today. Not the easiest of visits with my Mom, healthwise.

OK, I wanna post something today that isn't news related, even if only because I tried to have my today not be exclusively news-related (but, frankly, it's because I really wanna brag and show off, so there you have it).
So here's the Simpsons kipa that I finished on Thursday night, for the wedding of a dear family friend. And when I say "finished" and "for the wedding" I mean that in the most literal sense of the word - you can see me finishing it mere seconds before the khoopa. That kipa was such fun hard work.
