OK, can't keep pouting.

Suppers:

Hmm... where to begin?

Sunday - pizza at parents

Monday - hmm... what was Monday? Oh, yeah... supper pout failure - matzah brei & macaroni-tuna casserole (which Elisheva made)

Tuesday - Ted was off - Ted-made stir-fry! (I was out tutoring & had stir-fry waiting for me when I got home)

Wednesday - quiche night - tinned spinach w/fried onion, nuked veggies on the side

Thursday - Purim - tonight! Umm... oh, yeah, Shake n' Bake chicken

Camera still broken. Lame-o "estimate" from Nikon people says it's too expensive to fix but they'll give us an upgrade to a new camera for $120. Same deal they gave us last time. Aargh. Meanwhile, for Purim, I had Ted buy a disposable camera. There are NO choices here, that's the lousy part. Either buy an inexpensive film camera and spend a ton on developing lousy pictures, spend $100-120 for a digital camera and have it break in 6 months, or waste $10-12 on processing-included disposables. Ten of them would pay for a digital camera.

Mind if I swear?

Damn.

I hate this situation. I feel broken.

Mary asked a while ago what Naomi wanted for her birthday - I wonder if I can say she wants her picture taken??? But I think perhaps that window of opportunity has already passed (her birthday having come & gone a month ago and all).

Taanis Esther today - must eat lunch before the fasting kids come home. What a switch from all those years when I was fasting & had to feed them... weird!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
