A couple of days ago, we got back from a trip up north (we=my family). For the first half of it, we stayed in this little house in a Moshav called Ramot in the Golan. It's absolutely beautiful there. You can see the Kinneret from the Moshav, and it's so quiet and quaint and so much fun to be in. We actually took it easy most of the time, but we did a bunch of Tiyulim and other stuff. Then, on Thursday, my grandmother and cousins came up and we stayed in the hotel in Nir Etzion till Sunday. We had a really nice Shabbat and a lot of fun.
On the downside, at some point during our trip, I developed an infection because of an ingrown toenail. It's quite gross, it hurts a ton every time it gets banged, I have to soak it three times a day, and I have to wear socks because I need to keep it covered. (I also have to wear sandals, because closed shoes hurt. So I look like a good little Chorev girl...) Hopefully it should be better soon, and if not, there's always surgery... and it's not like I can't move around.
What else is new? I saw the cutest movie last night, The Holiday. Honestly, I fell in love with it as soon as I heard about it, but I didn't get a chance to see it in the theater. It's basically just another romantic comedy, but the fact is that I love romantic comedies. The story is this: Two women with messed up love lives, Iris in the middle of nowhere, England, and Amanda in LA, trade homes for the holiday season and find much more than they could have hoped for... I was in something of a bad mood last night because of this stupid toe and I said, "Hey, why not rent that movie I really wanted to see?" So I did, and it worked.
So I'm going to Ariel next Thursday, and with that I enter the real world. The following Sunday, I start work in the school. I'll be a staff member, not to mention a role model. On the plus side, there's no homework.
I need to comment on this horrible thing I read today. This guy has had 15 wives, but he keeps divorcing them because Islam doesn't permit more than 4 at a time, and altogether he has 78 kids. He's 60, his oldest kid is 30 and his youngest is 20 days. Right now, he's married to three women, and two of them are pregnant. And now he's aiming for 100 kids by 2015, so he's looking for three new wives. Oh, and he has one leg. Just because.
I guess that's about it... Smile!
