rebecca_in_blueA few notes on the week that was:
I have a recurring nightmare that I have to go back to high school because it turns out, I never actually graduated. I had it a few days ago, and I remember thinking in it, "I have to go back to high school? Seriously? This is what always happens in my nightmares, only now it's happening for real!" This time, though, I put on my hideous old uniform (plaid skirt and everything), along with my Star of David necklace and tefillin, which I never wear. I remember thinking, "Well, if I have to go back to Catholic high school, they're not sucking the Jew out of me!" It was very strange.
The ball of plarn I was making grew too big to fit under my bed, so I started crocheting it. It's slow going. I was never very good at crocheting, I'm very out-of-practice, and plarn is tougher to work with than yarn. We'll see what happens. I think I need to upgrade to a bigger crochet hook.
I've started watching Storage Wars with Sara. One of the guys on it, Barry, reminds me of my Sassy Jewish Grandfathers. Maybe he's somebody else's. And speaking of Jews...
Last Friday, I happened to wear my oldest, rattiest shirt to temple instead of a nice blouse (which is what I usually wear), and of course, the rabbi called on me to say the blessing over the candles. Ugh. I should've known. Which brings me to...
One of my goals for 2012 is to be a lay leader for services some time this year. (I'm thinking about July or August. My temple anniversary is in August, so that would be nice.) I know my Sassy Jewish Grandparents would help me with the Hebrew. I go every week, so I already know most of it pretty well -- the real problem of me is getting up in front of the whole congregation. I get nervous just saying the blessing over the candles! Ugh.
Has anybody else seen this trailer? Sara showed it to me last night. She loves exorcism movies, and this one has a Jewish spin to it -- and two child actresses. (She thought I could translate the Hebrew. As if.) I have to say, it looks pretty scary. We might have to rent it when it comes out.
