Dark... as it can get....

Well... if anyone comes up to me and tells me "may the new year be better than the last year" I am honestly going to smack them.


So lets see... the last year ended with the Bank denying me to raise my loan.. I really thought, that after that, it can only get better... but.. gosh I was sooo wrong...

Friday night (Rosh Ha'Shana Eve) I fell down the stairs and got bruised all over. Yup.. fun... I just love to lead a colorful life...

Sunday morning at 7 (Second Day of Rosh Ha'Shana) my Electric Plug Cuboard went on fire. So I had to sit in the dark that day. And guess what.. yup.. still sitting in the dark....

I guess I need to change all the security plugs... and.. as it is almost the end of the months... there is just not enough money on my bank account to get it all fixed. (Hmm.... what did the bank say, why they don't wanna give me a higher loan.... "you are a single woman with a secretarial income"... yup.. that I am)... So I guess.. I DESERVE to sit in the dark... just hope, I won't run out of candles.. THAT would really suck...


Now I ask you.. can it get any worse??? Yes of course, I was lucky... that I was at home when the fire broke out... yes I am lucky that no rocket has hit my house (so far)... yes I am lucky that my house wasn't flooded for years.... but still.. don't I deserve a bit of peace and quiet?


One day, when this is all over, I will for sure write a book... and I hope, I will be able to laugh about those "incidents" and say... yup.. life is tough.. but I am tougher!!! I will show the world, that a single girl can manage... even without the help of the bank.. and without light!!!!



The Upside of the story... I can't clean the house.. it's too dark to see the dirt.. LMAO>>> Hahahaha

And again... "welcome to Israel's Logic"

Alright, trying to get ready for my big House Project (Renovating and Selling), I am trying to do as much research as possible. Having Home Center close by, I'll just go and check out certain things next friday, but we also have ACE, which is at the other end of the city. Being a smart Blonde, or so I thought, I went online to check out the website. Surprise surprise, they have a nice website with NO prices what so ever.

Now, one could think, all the things must be for free then, but I do know better.... come on... "free" and "Jew" and "Israeli" don't go together.... So they actually want me to come over, so I buy not just the things I need, but much more.

I think this sucks. Having to renovate the house, takes too much time already, but running around to check prices, is even more of a headache.

So I guess, sorry ACE, but you won't get even one Shekel from me, if your so called "Customer Service" is "this good"...

Well I guess, for Israeli Standards it's quite good... after all, they do have a website... LMAO!!!

Purple Bra Day is next Friday! Lets fight Cancer! Livestrong!!!

In honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck

(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it, live it and never give it back.

STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

IN MEMORY .. . . . ..


These are the colours that represent the different cancers.

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's to one more person, in memory of anyone you know who has been struck by cancer.

A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.

Please Keep The Candle Going!

This one I do ask that you please send on. By sending this on, you will think and realize how you've been blessed, up until now.

This is a disease which affects all families... no one is exempt!
