Yoy guys, if anyone wants to contact me today - I'm without my cell, since my mom took it to replace it for me before the trip, so, naturally, I won't be able to answer calls or sms until this after-noon.

I'm available on comments on my LJ, or in my work phone or E-mail (if you have it).

And I'm really excited... !

It's my last day of work before I go. Both Mel and Avihu came over yesterday (Mel came over to finish up the hotels' reservations and Avihu came because he was going with her to the rally in TA and it was stupid for her to go to Holon from KS and back to Hod Hasharon and then back to TA). We found the two last hotels we needed (we already have a place to stay in London and in Cork, and we already had a reservation at Alton, we only needed Dublin and Kilkenny) and I got the second confirmation this morning, just have to send an email to the B&B to confirm our arrival time. We also managed to buy bus tickets from and to Stansted airport, and tickets for Alton Towers for the date we'll be there. All in all, I think we have everything ready - my mom went to buy me money, to get my insurance ready (both traveling and health) and she'll come here so we'll go get my phone together.

Phew.

I still have a few things to do, but they're mine to do, and it'll be done this evening and tomorrow morning (as I'm not working tomorrow).

Only 59 days until Deathly Hallows reaches stores.

Oh. My. God.

Six weeks until we go to England and watch Tori's concert.

Everything is so damn close!!!

*~*

I'm at work stretching the time until 13:00 when I can go home. I doubt Motty will come today, so I have music on. I also finished all the things I needed to do, and I only have to call the traveling agency to try and get another two tickets to Barcelona for our contest winners.

The cafeteria has a nice buffet with cheeses and pastry, so I grabbed myself some to eat, it was nice.

Yesterday went smoothly, the picture of the soldiers is now in the paper and the convention was a success, but it tired me very much, so when I got home i had practically no strength. I went to sleep early and I slept pretty well, even though i woke up at 6:30.

I had a dream right before I woke up about me getting married. The dream kept jumping from a month before the wedding to the wedding day. A month before the wedding I drove the car to a place in Tel Aviv and parked it in a bad way [probably a glimpse of my parking yesterday when I got home... Heehee] and started walking around, looking for cats [?!?!?], and then I started crying, saying I don't want to get married without Efrat being at the wedding [probably because I've been thinking about her a lot lately], and then it was my wedding day, and my whole family was there, and my groom (have no idea how he looked), and all of a sudden a fire broke off in the hall where the Huppa was supposed to be at, and someone of my family tried to put it off with a fire extinguisher, and it didn't go off, and the fire men were already there, and I was screaming to everyone "Get out! Get out! I don't need you to die from a fire on this day!". After that we were all waiting outside (I think this place was some sort of a hotel, as I dream about hotels all the time), and then the fire was extinguished, and I remember I was running down the red-velvet-covered-stairs with my high heeled boots to check if the place could still have my wedding in, and that was when the alarm clock went off and I woke up...

For this week I have:

Sofi might be dropping by today - if she needs a place to crash after a shift in the army, if not I will probably just stay at home and watch "Medium".

Tomorrow I have plans with Lilach, hopefully they will not be canceled like last week's.

Thursday night has myself, [livejournal.com profile] queenmab21 and [livejournal.com profile] melody_kitty going somewhere, no idea yet where to, but will be fun (no doubt).

I want to spend Friday morning in TA, since it's supposed to be a really bright and summery day, so the plan is to go to Dizengof Center in the morning, have a walk around (perhaps find something to wear on the Seder) and then head outside, to the lovely streets of Tel Aviv, and walk through to Nahalat Binyamin and Shenkin, and have the first fruit-shake of the season. I'm not planning on taking the car, so it'll be a walking day. If anyone wants to join, just shout, but beware - I tend to walk a lot in these days and surrender to weird whims.

Friday night Mel is supposed to come and watch "House" with me, and we will have some time to plan July's trip.

Lily's not at work today, so I'm sitting in her place so I'll have constant computer accessability, while listening to Rachael Sage's "Morbid Romantic" on the mp4.

I have also downloaded all of the chapters of Constalletions Hagar sent me into the mp so I can read it whenever I have some time, but I haven't yet been able to download the photoes from my computer to it, so I have to check if there is something I can do about it when I have time.

Moti left a while ago (and will not be back today, I believe). Racheli will leave in and hour or so, and Dovi and Ika I've no idea, but I probably won't have a lot to do. Some more reading will be done today, I think. :)

At 5:30 this morning Dolce woke me up so I'll let her out of my room. I was sleepily staggering to the door when a huge flash of light and a very large "Booom!!!!!!!" echoed and shook my windows. It was followed by a constant ringing of all the phones in the house (four of them) that subsided after a few minutes. The amusing thing was that both my dad and my brother went on with their sleeping without even moving a toe... Dolce ran and hide and when I opened my door Bono was there, looking very frightened (as much as I could see without my glasses). I couldn't sleep well after that, I could feel my heart pumping really fast, and when I woke up I did everything in half-speed.

Yesterday Udi had his boot-camp finishing ceremony, which was (as was expected) very tedious, but at least it wasn't very long. The weather could not have been more un-decisive, as it was raining heavily at one point and hot and sunny the next.

I over page 200 in HBP, and as soon as I'm finishing that I have "Black sun rising" waiting for me at home, and a whole lot of planning to get started on, and I really should buy tickets to the concert, but I'm still waiting to see if anyone else wants to come with us (Mel and I will be going, Ayala told me last night that they can't come).

England!!!

I sent an Email to all my friends asking who wants to come with me to England.

Mel will be going with me.

Double yey!

And Ayala says there's a chance she and her boyfriend Asher will be coming as well - Asher is a great fan of Tori's, so we might have a party of four (unless someone else wants to come).

This email made the whole thing very real, and quite final - I'm not going to back up now, and I'm not going to regret spending a cool one third of my savings on this trip - there will be no more HP book release parties, and who know when Tori will tour again, and will she ever come to Israel. I'm so excited!!!

On a different note - I've listened and re-listened to "93 maidens" (Rachael Sage) and came to understand what the song is about when I was half-way through the third time. I don't think I've started crying about a song's meaning since I read the lyrics to "Playboy Mommy" (Tori).

Because my scream was quite loud.

Tori has a new album and tour!

I am seriously considering going to the London show, and stay in England for the DH festivities.

Plus - my player totally knows what I was screaming about - four Tori songs in a row...

Happiness!

Edit: Make that five...

I have about ten written pages of my wonderfu vacation, but I don't really know whether to write them here or not. I went with my parents and my little brother and we had a blast, almost no fights between us (you try to be in a car an average of 5-6 hours a day and sleeping four of us in the same room with one bathroom) and a lot of laughes. We landed on Munich airport and when we went out of the terminal I remembered exactly how it looked from 14 years ago (our first trip abroad we landed there as well) and it gave me a wonderful feeling, don't know, I hadn't anything to drink... :)

We had no rooms reserved so we had to find a motel every day, which proved to be quite the headache, but no matter.

Most beautiful place - the Dolomite Mountains and Lugano Lake.
Most fun - Ampa Mare water park in Pfafficon (south of Zurich) - two hours of pure water slides and no lines... And the whole place has a ceiling, so no cold for us.
Most scarry - getting on a electrical train line in Zurich and no way of getting down from it. Brrrrrr.
Most dissapointing - getting to Sprungly Bakery in Zurich and discovering they didn't have Macaroon coockies. Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Most funny - Seeing my parent's friend Menahem waving to us from a zimmer we found (after we missed the entry) and then run infront of our car as my dad tries to mock-run-him-over.

More later.

I'm going abroad!!!

Finally the dice has fallen, and the flight is set. I'm leaving Saturday 6:00 a.m. and coming back Saturday after that. I'm so excited!!! It's the first time we have been going on a family trip since 2001, and I'm really looking forward to it. So, my dears, I'll be out of touch for a while, please keep in mind.

Hagar, I won't be in Prague, at least not as far as I know, but we may be coming back at a close time...

We're going without Michali and Eyal though, which is a bit of a bummer, because they're going to Thailand in a few weeks, but at least this way we won't have to give our dogs to a kennel.

I'm so happy!!!
