How time flies!

Yesterday was Monday. I knew it was Monday because that's the day that Meshi goes to her Drama lesson. After I noticed what day it was I realized that it had already been a week since last Monday, when we had gone to the market to buy some oranges and lemons...I hadn't even noticed the time flying by. Then I looked at my blog and noticed that it's been a while since I last wrote (how am I going to remember what's been going on if I never write anything?). So, here's a quick summary of the past two weeks....

Work, work, work...I know, boring, that's all I ever seem to talk about lately. Well, I am happy to report that I finished one of my two huge projects, and I am on my way to finishing the other (it may take a little while longer) I am hoping to be back in the land of the living pretty soon. And I have a list of things I want/need to do as soon as I am finished....colour my hair, pluck...and of course clean and tidy my house (I don't want to keep living in the place where elephants go to die).

It hasn't all been work, I've had some fun too.

We "won" a special dinner made by Rabbi Gustavo at an auction a couple of weeks ago, so we went over to enjoy our special Argentinean meal, made by Karina and Gustavo. The food was delicious, the company was wonderful, and we took the children with us to play with their girls. It was a fantastic evening. We also spent time with other friends, so it's been quite a sociable couple of weeks. We also got a new "addition" to the family - no, not a dog! Brett, is a volunteer from Texas, on the Otzma programme, and will be in Israel for a year. He's our "adopted son" (that makes me seem so old). He's leaving Ashkelon next week to stay in Tzfat for a few weeks and then he's going to Haifa for a few months, but he knows that he's got family to come back to visit in Ashkelon.

Besides their usual stuff the girls have been busy practicing for their school show, which is this evening. Everyone who's visited us has seen their dances; some have even had the 'dress rehearsal'. Both of them are very excited and nervous – Shiraz already has butterflies. Will write all about it tomorrow (maybe).
