LOL

Just a little funny story that occured about a month after my wedding...

My nephew (6 years of age) turns to my sister and plaintively says "Ma, the next baby we have, could we not keep?"

My sister was, quite obviously, taken aback and asked him why he would ask such a thing.

"Well, Tante Dreamer just got married and she doesn't have any kids yet, so could we give the next one to her?"

So generous, no?

Are You Okay?

The other day, a car hit mine. Baruch Hashem, my car sustained just a small, barely noticeable scratch.

It was raining, and I was going really slow, yet I couldn't stop. I swerved to avoid him, and thereby just missed hitting the front passenger door. Had I been travelling a little faster, there would have been a major accident.

Though he had pulled out of a spot parked the wrong way and drove across the lane straight into me, he still claimed that it was my fault; that I "came out of nowhere."

Then, truly from out of nowhere, came a tow truck with a photographer in tow. (Even before the police arrived!) Didn't bother to ask if I'm okay; didn't bother to say excuse me; he asked if I was filing, and when I replied in the negative, he zoomed off. (We spotted him a few minutes later, towing another car...)

My fellow Yid - I am truly disgusted. I know you have to earn a parnassa, but please! A little mentchlichkeit!

And the award goes to...

They all said
Brooklyn driving
was really bad.

Couldn't get worse.

Guess all haven't driven through
Lakewood.

:(

Out Of It

Pesach is on its way.

But for all the prep I've been doing
You'd never know.

I feel so out of it.

At least I'm able to bake tomorrow.
Will make me feel a bit better about not doing anything.

New Beginnings...

They all said
they've never been
to a wedding
like ours.

It wasn't just
the number
of attendees.

It wasn't
the food

or the decor

or even
the location.

It wasn't the length of time
people stayed around.
(packed tables until after the second dance)

It wasn't the hair
the makeup
or the gowns.

It wasn't even the dancing
(though even I barely sat...
people didn't even know that I sprained my ankle.)

No.

It was the feeling
in the air.
The joy.
The endless simcha.

Thank you
for making my wedding
one to remember.

As the caterer said,
"I've done many weddings
but I've never seen one
like this one."

Mazal Tov!

Laid Up

G-d has the last laugh.

Here I am
about to marry
and thinking of the dancing
going for last fittings
purchasing accessories
shoes...

and all it takes
is one little slip
and I'm laid up
iced up
hopping about on one leg.

I'll be glad if I'm able to
walk down the aisle.
and i sure hope i'll be able to dance some.

and now it's up to mom
to finish the shopping
and packing

and my poor chosson is left
wondering what he can do
to make me more comfortable
but realizing that he can't.

guess we'll make the best of it
and laugh about it
in our old age.

till next time,
I remain

Dreamer.
