Like a Good Book

[AS takes my place near the computer to look at the water tank, IZ is sitting next to him, enters ME]
ME: [to me] "I'll give you a rule of thumb - if you've been bumped from the computer it means you're on your way out"
Me: [joyfully] "So I can go home today? Thanks! [starts to pack]
ME: [amused] "I meant with a kick"
[everybody laugh]

The thing is, if it were SH that ME would have given that remark to, SH would have been sure it's his resignation letter.

I really, really have to get a working/funny icon. *nudge nudge* hagar_972?

Icon set, new as a... Uh, never mind. Playfullness, from the photos of this post. DW and LJ.

Yes - only two out of the recent icons I've used are happy icons. Not a big surprise there. I've never seen so many "What am I supposed to do", "Dragon", "x" and "Bells" icons in one page of my journal.

I need a T.V. icon.

The weekend has passed. It was a good weekend - with Thursday night's outing, Friday morning's shopping, Friday night's Chimichanga (was amazing) and Saturday's lazy day. Spent most of yesterday's morning organizing my room. After eating lunch at grandma's Efrat picked me up and we talked and went to eat at "Mozes" in Herzlia (I had a good portobello sandwich and two glasses of sangria). We finished our afternoon im Giv'ataim mall, where I bought a new jacket and a lipgloss. Returned homw at about 22:30 and went to bed shortly after.

This morning I woke up 20 minutes later than I should have so I was a bit late, but no matter - I was only 10 minutes late and I'll get out a bit later this afternoon (I love working these hours much more than working 10:00-18:00). Not much mess this morning, but my shirt keeps falling so my bra shows. I need to stitch it so it'll be good.

All in all, was a very good weekend (the way I planned it) and I'm full of energy again. Shopping will do that to me... :)

P.S. - a new icon, thanks (how surprising) to Hagar - I think it's one of the most beautiful one's she's ever made, but I may be biased...

I've spent less than a day without a default user-pic, and it felt wrong already. so, back to the "I believe in peace, Bitch" icon from Hagar (a qoute I'm nuts about from "The Waitress - Tori Amos).

I'm awake. It's 2:40 a.m. I really should go to sleep...

We were at a dinner party tonight at my brother-in-law's parent's house. "We" meaning my parents, my sister and her husband (obviously, they're his parents) and myself.

There was soooooo much food!!!!!!! For starters, when we walked through the door (after kissing everyone on both cheeks) we were served with dry fruit, nuts and aperitifs - chocolate and orange liqueur, Tequila, Bakardi and Jinn. Really nice. When we sat down to eat came food. A lot of food. Latkes (americans - like Hash-brown), fried fish, Hummus, two kinds of eggplant salad (greek and with mayonnaise), onion pie, mushroom pie, Pizza with cheese and olives, Pizza without cheese with vegetables (my dad doesn't eat dairy products almost completely), tomatoes salad, lettuce salad, salmon, pasta with pesto, tomato and cream sauce (three different sauces), three kinds of cheeses, roasted peppers, really good bread (I dipped it in the divine pesto sauce), not to mention the huge amount of booze pouring out of every bottle... Wine, so much wine...

For dessert - Pavlova (meringue base with whipped cream, strawberries and forest-fruit sauce), fresh fruit, chocolate mousse cake with meringue, Macaroon cookies (made from almonds... *Homer-like-chchchccchchchchchc*), cigar pastry stuffed with almonds, more meringue cookies, coffee, tea and cognac....

I was very cheery, due to the wine and the company of the sister of my brother-in-law's brother-in-law (My sister Michali is married to Eyal, whose sister Orit is married to Yosi, whose sister is Orly, a really sweet girl we know from a long time ago since Yosi is one of my sister's best friends for years...) Never mind the relations, she is a great girl and we spent most of dinner talking to each-other (we sat together intentionally). I had fun, and ate too much, but ah, well.

When we got back my dad and I got into a long conversation about music and musical taste, and then my brother Udi came home and changed the channel from VH1 classic to extra-hot to watch Nip/Tuck, at said point I abandoned the living room (I'm not crazy about Nip/Tuck) and came to my room to document this evening.

Now I can go to sleep... Night!

P.S. - Another icon, thanks to hagar_972, quote from "Terminator".

First - new icon, credit for hagar_972

Second - The party last night was absolutely great, with an almost-complete turn-up, which was great (missed you , Mel!), but the candles I planned on lighting all around the roof edge turned up to be un-light-able due to the wind... My mom cooked almost everything, and the food ran out really, really quickly. My sister brought some Anty-Pasto, which was a great success, and of course, the white chocolate and cheesecake and chocolate truffles were a smashing hit (not that I'm surprised, Hagar did call my truffles "Doomsday weapon"...). I was really glad to accept a ton of gifts, most of them were books, and good ones, and the others were jewelry and paid time on my LJ (hence the icon festivities!), but most of all I enjoyed to see everyone had a good time (though Sofi felt bad for a while, and had to go lie down in the apartment). Some people stayed really late, about 4 a.m., and Asaf and Sofi spent the night here and I gave them a ride to the train station this morning for them to go back to Haifa.

I had such a good birthday!

Tomorrow my sister is taking me to have breakfast at Idelson 10, which is a really good Cafe we love... So much fun!

P.S. - New icon, thanks to Hagar... I can only say it's more interesting than the test she's studying for...

Just as it says... Have a new icon (replacing the white bird). Avihu sent me this link to a forum where they posted pictures from a calender where several artists painted Tori Amos (my favorite singer), and it's just so beautiful I made this one picture my wallpaper and decided to let you all see it as well.

Cheers!
