Last night i got home from a week and a half visiting grandparents, eating ice cream, sitting in a car, not checking my e-mail or blog, getting taned and (mostly) burned, swimming, dancing and getting MASSIVE blisters so that i could barely walk the next day, and generally not being at home.
now i'll give u a full account. sorry u have to read this whole thing!!!
day 1 monday - drove shifra to NY to fly to israel for the summer. Some ppl have all the luck. Got her cell phone!! IM me for the #. Only use it after 8 tho. got to DC (my dad's ps live there) rly late at nite.
day 2 tues. - it rained. And rained and rained and rained and rained. Went to see Over the Hedge - rly rly funny movie. my uncle (the one with kids, tho they werent there - they were at their mom's) came to dinner - he's a rly cool guy - a lot of fun, always joking and keeping us laughing.
day 3 wed. - went swimming in my grandparent's pool. got rly burned/tanned. I'm almost as dark as shiffy! yay! also my ps 25th anniversary - we had a big dinner. both of my dad's bros came. fun fun.
day 4 thurs - drove to baltimore to visit my other grandparents. my dads parents came along for dinner, and we all ate out at a chinese place. the one h drive took us ~2.5h. oh well.
day 5 fri - hung out, went to the hat store with my mom
day 6 shabbos - walked ~1 mi to shul. got big blisters, could barely walk durring the afternoon.
day 7 sun. - SARAH'S BRO'S WEDDING!!!!!!!!! it was an awesome wedding. really really great. danced a ton. (my grandparents told me before i left to dance a lot... and maybe i'd get a boyfriend. their concept of dancing at a wedding is slighly different than ours.... my Ps and i kinda just rolled our eyes. lol) i couldnt really walk afterward cuz of my feet, but... man, i have to get new shabbat shoes. the two inch heel is nice, but....
day 8 mon. - drove back to DC. stoped in the district to see the Museum of the American Indian. Not so impressive. Also went to East Wing of the National Gallery of Art. Didn't look at any of the art, it's all too weird for me. Looked at all of the arcitecture of the building. It's AMAZING. There are no right angles (90 degrees, normal angles in buildings) in the whole building. One of the corners comes to a really sharp point even! It's really amazing. Y'all should go see it - just ignore the art. The coolest part is the pathway to the west wing. They have an underground tunnel, under the street. In it there's a ppl mover - u know how elevators go? So instead it's flat. It's really cool!!!! and when you aro outside, you see these glass triangle things sticking out of the groung in front of the west wing. When u get accross the tunnel, you look up and they are the skylights in the cafe!!! It's so cool!!!! Even tho I've been there b4 - it's rly cool!
day 9 tues. july 4th - fixed mrs. shectman's mom's train layout which belonged to her husband who died so that they could use it. Then we went to see fireworks at night. I wore sunglasses that my uncle got me. On the sides there are red and blue flashing lights. They're very cool.
day 10 wed. - drove home. spent the whole day at it. yuck. listened to the westing game on tape. very very good book. if you havent read it yet, read it!!!!
today is thursday. I slept in, then hung out with shiffy and sarah. It was good to sleep in my own bed, not the dusty narrow sofa i had in baltimore at my uncle's, or even the bed at my grandparent's. I missed my pillow. waaaa! lol.
If you read down this far... I am amazed that anyone listened to me for this long without being forced to. If you did, tell me and i'll give you a medal. It'll say on it "To a great person who was stupid enough to read my whole blog, who obviously also has no life, since reading it probably took a couple hours."
I am also sorry to say that this blog may have to be discontinued - my dad found it and is planning on reading it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think i'll put that in a new post, since no one is going to read to the bottom of this anyway.... I really didn't mean for this to be so long!!!!!!!!!
