Thursday Things
I’m back! And if I never see another box of matzah cake meal, I wouldn’t be happier. Even though my parents’ kitchen has double convection ovens, we still spent three days baking for the two seders (25 people and 48 people in attendance). It was kinda sad to see three days worth of baking get eaten up in about five minutes. But at least I was able to give out about a dozen business cards. Woohoo!

As you may remember, I am addicted to Cadbury mini eggs. Yesterday, I read about these–mini eggs with pop rocks on the outside! I must have them. Unfortunately, they’re only available in Canada (hey, I did my research) which means I may have to ask one of my friends in Michigan to mail me some.

Looking for a calligrapher? Erin of erin-go-blog (one of the first blogs I began reading on a regular basis) does beautiful calligraphy. Check her out.

I have to get two fillings this afternoon. I have nothing more to add to that thought, other than I’m of course looking for sympathy because I hate those damn needles.

Is anyone else’s DirecTV Tivo acting up? I have it set to record only first run for a lot of shows, yet it’s recording every damn episode. Which means, I have about 15 episodes of Engaged and Underage and The Real World recorded. Or I, would, if I uh, watched those shows.

I spoke to The Artist last night and we made plans to meet up on Monday. No idea yet as to what we’re doing.

Also last night, I attended a Jewish night of HurryDate. Of my ten “dates,” I had previously met two. One was this guy who asked me a) why I wasn’t at a seder for the third night of Passover; and b) if Passover was “the ma nishtana holiday.” The other was a guy I knew from college (he was a friend of a friend) who is a really cute optometrist now. We spent a good chunk of our five minutes talking about my LASIK experience and resulting residual astigmatism and halos. Sexy conversation, eh? Apparently this is what happens when you’re the daughter of an optometrist and meet another optometrist. Maybe vision talk can lead to a date? Who knows. Anyway, I put “yes” to a few men and should know if I matched with any of them by tonight. I’ll keep ya posted.
