I have had a terrible day. Don’t worry; this post won’t be whiny. Well, maybe it will be, just a little bit, but I don’t intend it to be. I DO plan on ending on a high note after writing a very vague rant that really won’t give you much information at all. Where was I? Oh yes, Terrible Day, with a capital T and a capital D. It wasn’t the worst day ever, and my problems truly are not catastrophic in nature, so I’m thankful for that. But this day has been extra long: I woke up at 3:15, unable to return to sleep. Blech. In the past, I…

Wicked Awesome, #1
I had a great day on Saturday; I spent about six hours in the city with Mags, who lives in Boston and has never visited Chicago before! Let’s do the math: Me + 6 hours + a blog friend + showing off my favorite spots in Chicago = A BLAST! Mags is a kindred spirit: she is an explorer, and was happy to be busy for just about every free moment she had in the Windy City. I love that: if you’re going to travel, why not experience as much as you can?? You can sleep when you get home. Anyway, I’ll tell you about my time with her, and…

We had some good times back then, wearing tiaras to the grocery store, eating cookie dough, enjoying countless wings at BWW, and sharing stories about our kids. We even did a little livestream show together. Livestream. On the COMPUTER. Remember that? So antiquated from what we do today, with the brain-injecting, virtual reality-style entertainment that is so hot right now. Sometimes I laugh when I think about how we used to actually have to…

Bat Mitzvah Snapshots
I did a post after Yom Kippur a couple of months ago that contained a couple of mental snapshots from the day. Today, the person who stood up on the bimah and gave the announcements and guidelines for today’s service mentioned that, except for the official photographer who the family hired to capture the day, those who were there for worship services were not allowed to use cameras (of course I knew that already), but should instead capture memories of the service mentally, for keeps. Naturally I’ve done this all along, but it suddenly occurred to me that when I don’t have a camera, I really am good at taking…
