Weekend Wrap-Up

The cold got me, I couldn’t fight it off any longer. Let’s just say my coworkers were very happy when I took my coughing, sneezing, snotting, self home early on Thursday and didn’t return to the office on Friday. Instead, I watched a lot of Tyra and Ellen and got some much needed sleep thanks to cold medicine. Fortunately, I’m feeling better today, but can’t wait for the congestion to fade so the horrible headache will go away too.

And of course, it was yet another busy weekend. I (yes, more bullets):

  • Painted Onesies DryingBaked desserts and dipped pretzels in (white, milk, and dark) chocolate for Ann-Marie’s baby shower favors.
  • Woke up at 7:30 on a Saturday to pack for San Diego and finish pre-baby shower stuff. Ari, will you still be my friend even though I got up so early?
  • Along with Jen and Marisa, co-hosted a beautiful and lovely baby shower in Jen’s backyard.
  • Drove straight from the shower to Del Mar to spend the rest of the weekend with my family.
  • Enjoyed a delicious homemade dinner with my family and family friends.
  • The FamilySlept about 10 more hours.
  • Received a three month subscription to Jdate from my parents, because they “really want grandchildren.”
  • Had an awesome Mother’s Day brunch at Sbicca with my family.
  • Drove back to LA.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom, I love you!

I love all of the baby shower pictures! It looks like you all had a wonderful time. I’m also really impressed at how great the onesies came out!

It sounds like you beat that cold out of you on Friday so that you could enjoy that fabulous weekend! Good for you!

I hope that I have your strength. I’m sick as a dog. I think that it’s allergies — my Eustachian tube is completely blocked, along with my ears, making me dizzy as a drunk. And tomorrow, I’m leaving on my almost 2-year belated honeymoon. Oh, yes, if I still feel this way, I’m going to be such a joy to be with.

They bought you the jdate subscription? Oy Vey. Glad you’re feeling better.

That’s too funny of your parents.

I will be your friend even if you wake up so early that the noise awakens your geriatric neighbors.

It wasn’t your sleep schedule that endeared me to you anyway.

It was your GA gossip. Kidding!!

Do you feel pressure from your parents when they say (and do) things like that?

In Israel (where I lived for three years in my 20s) there was lots of pressure from all around, but back in London, UK, there is considerably less.

I guess that is part of being a single Jewish female or are there any Jewesses out there that escape it?!
