I was sooo super productive today!!!! I woke up around 9:30ish and went off to Ben Yehuda street (downtown) to try and get my phone fixed..it works now! Then I went up to the grocery store, where I ran into a few friendly faces, and Leah and I did a bunch of grocery shopping. But we forgot our shuk cart, so we had a LOT of groceries to carry back. And of course, as we were heading a bit downhill I slipped and fell and a police man that was driving by stopped and helped. How embarressing!!!! I really need to stop doing that!
So then I came home and downloaded some programs and updates on my computer, threw in some laundry, and did my hebrew homework for Sunday. ( I Figure while I'm here i might as well try to get my work done ahead of time so that I can truly relax on shabbat!!!) Leah made her famous couscous, and now we are going to start getting ready for Shabbat tonight!
We are going to services in a few hours with our friends Adam and Noah at the Open House (a gay/les/bi/trans) center for Israeli's here in downtown Jerusalem. Adam is leading services and he is really nervous so we wanted to support him and go with him. Even if he weren't, I'd go anyway just to see what they do. There are sooo many ways to experience shabbat here in Israel, I just can't wait to try them all! Then afterwards there is a potluck dinner, so Leah made a TON of her coucous....it is really good, though!
Then I think tomorrow morning we are going to go to Kol HaNishama for services (just because we haven't seen their shabbat morning services) and then host lunch at our house for whoever wants to come and join.
What can I say...not a dull moment around here!!!
Oh, and last night I talked to my friend's, Michael and Phyllis, and their son David got on the phone and talked to me for quite a while about all the stuff he had been doing like playing at the gym and going swimming...I miss them sooo much!!!
Thank goodness for technology, right?
Okay, off to go...uhhh, sample...some of the couscous...we want to make sure it isn't poisonous!!!!! Shabbat shalom for those of you that celebrate, and have a great weekend to all!!!!
