I have heard many people complain that they have terrible mother-in-law, well I am a very lucky girl. I have a great Mother in law who has been generous, supportive and just plain there for me since I met her four years ago. She is so strong and so loving that I feel honored to have her as my Mother in Law. I have learned many things from her that I will never forget. Unfortunately, my time with this amazing woman is coming to an end. My Mother in law is dying. She has been fighting cancer on again and off again for the last 9 years and the tumors have finally gotten to her brain and there is nothing else that can be done for her.  She will not admit that she is dying, but my father-in-law has let us know that she only has a few weeks left. So our Thanksgiving plans have changed and my husband and I are going up to be with his family. My parents were originally going to come to us for Thanksgiving, but they have been wonderful and supportive and know that we need to go to Chicago instead. So I will put on my strong face and go spend this Thanksgiving saying Thank you to this amazing woman, who I met four years ago on Thanksgiving. So when someone asks me what I am thankful for this year, it’s the fact that I have Renae as my mother in law, for as long as that might be.

work  
So after being out sick for two days I have a day like this-

3 meetings and then a phone call begging me to take yet another part time job!

I just cant say no when it comes to working with kids.
So now I work full time at OVS Monday- Friday
Saturdays I teach the Tot Shabbat Class
Sundays I teach 4th grade at the Synagogue
and now I am doing the synagogue youth group once-twice a month.
Not to mention all of the programs that I am planning at work...

My poor husband, I hope he doesnt miss me too much...

I can not tell y’all how long I have been looking forward to this weekend. Having to wake up at 7:30am 7 days a week is starting to take its toll on me. The idea of being able to sleep in or at least have three days to do with whatever I please is like a treat! Last weekend was fun, but very tiring. We had a housewarming/potluck at our house. 16 people came it was a great night. Steve and I had a good time tonight, we went to two different friends places and it sounds like Steve got a lead on a potential job, which is defiantly a much needed thing. Tomorrow is going to be fun, we are going to spend it at the Zoo. Steve and I are Zoo people. We love walking around in the peaceful atmosphere and seeing all the animals in their natural habitats. Monday is going to be spent scrapbooking, I have so much to catch up on, and I think I am finally ready to scrapbook the wedding and honeymoon. And then starting Tuesday, its back to 7 days a week. I must say though that I love my 4th graders, so cute!

At the Bridal shower that the ladies from work threw for me one of the ladies brought me a gift from her Mary Kay lady. It entitled me to a free two part series. A facial and then in our second meeting a makeover. I also got a gift certificate for free merchandise and really ladies, who doesnt want free makeup. So this afternoon was my first meeting with her and wow she was most definatly the pepiest woman that I have ever met. She is under the impression that she is going to work for Mary Kay till she is 65 and then retire after making 5 million dollars. For her sake I hope she does, but I for one would perfer her to give me her 5 million dollars.  She was really nice and we have our next appointment for the 16th and she was like invite your girlfriends, they will get the free facials that you got tonight while you get the makeover. So anyone that will be around on the 16th of July and wants a free facial, let me know! Well thats about it, going to keep shifting through all the wedding and honeymoon pictures.

Its been a while since Ive posted anywhere. So much has happened. Steve and I are married and back from our wonderful honeymoon. The wedding was great, a few small lil mishaps (like me busting my ass and falling), but it was still amazing. We had such a good time on our honeymoon. We went on a week long Disney cruise, and got to stop at Key West, the Cayman Islands, Mexico and the Bahamas. The cruise was so much fun and even thought it was a Disney one, I never really felt like it was full of kids. At each stop, Steve and I went on shore excursions and got to do fun stuff like hold turtles, snorkel, kiss stingrays, see amazing beaches and gorgeous butterflies.  I know wake up every morning and long for the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean. It took a few weeks, but we finally got the hang of the real world again. I went back to work and Steve has actively been looking for a job. Our new house is really starting to come together and I hope to have a house warming party soon. So much is so similar to it was since we had already been living together, but people are right, something feels different. Its not something tangible, but something in the air feels different, more permanent and secure. We are going to a movies on the lawn type thing with some other married couples tonight- that to me is still taking some time to get used to! But I do love being married and most of all I love being Steves wife so we shall see how our lives play out in this big game of life.  For now that is all, TATA!

Some weeks are great, some aren’t but I guess that is what life is all about, rolling with the punches that are thrown at me. Last week for instance, was great, I was given a promotion, a raise, Steve surprised me with a gift, and then my mom sent me the money to go on a conference that I really want to go to. This week however (and keep in mind that it is only Tuesday), I have managed to give myself a second degree burn on two fingers, find out that we are now having the third person at the hotel handle our wedding (the prior two have left and I am so scared that something will fall through the cracks) and find out that three of my very close friends will not be able to make it to my wedding. I understand their reasons, all which happen to be the same one, but it still sucks that I will not be able to spend the most important day of my life thus far with them there. Ahh well off to a meeting we shall see how the rest of the week plays out.

 What a crazy weekend. Friday Alys came and we had lunch and then Steve and I went to a dinner party at one of the chicks from his Jewish Studies program house. Saturday after services we went to a pot-luck lunch. Our synagogue has a 20/30 group so it was fun to get together with a bunch of people our age at someone’s house and not at synagogue. Saturday night Steve took me out for a nice date. It was a lot of fun and very tasty. Sunday we went to a wedding( the last one we had to go to before ours) and then went suite shopping for Steve.

The next few weeks aren't going to be any less crazy. We got our groomsmen gifts already and are going tonight to order our bridesmaid gifts, we are working on our invitations, Jessica is coming this weekend to play and we are going to look at dresses, I have a Women’s Group meeting next week, we are going to look at chair covers and linens for our wedding next Saturday, taste testing at the hotel for the wedding menu, Steve and I are going to L.A. for one of his Rabbinical School interviews, and we are in the process of hearing back from the one in NY to see when we need to go there.  Pheww!! All this in addition to working and school. I am really going to miss my dear friend Sleep. I must say though that I am really excited about all this.

On the plus side my birthday is in 21 days!!!

Well that’s about all for now, other than the fact that I have a 3 foot whole in my guest room ceiling. We had a really bad leak and they were giving my landlady the runaround and finally came to look at it and had to make this giant whole to see what was going on. Oye– I really hope that they fix it soon.

I absolutely hate the new woman at work (OVS), and I am by far not the only one!

I have been super busy between my weekday job(OVS), teaching Saturday at the Synagogue that we go to(SI), and leading high holiday youth services at SI.

I cooked for, cleaned for and hosted a dinner party for 10 on the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

A family at SI invitied Steve and I to go there for Breaking of the Fast for Yom Kippur. Their daughter named Orly(I have now taught three different Orlys) is in my Saturday class.

Jess is coming up on the 21st and we are going to do the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure on the 22nd. If you would like to sponsor me, please go here- http://race.komencentralga.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=1000&px=1009101

Every little bit helps!

Steve and I are getting our engagement pics done on November 6.

I have been invited to decorate Bernie and Saundra’s Sukkah.

Steve and I are having an Afruf for our wedding on April 8th. (It’s when we get to go up to the torah and get blessed and stuff in front of the whole congregation and then people get to chuck candy at our heads.)

My sister found out that she has colon cancer, so things have been very tough.

FOR ANY WOMEN OUT THERE THAT NEED A SMILE!


WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WOMEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MARRIAGE SEMINAR

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man,
"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-law s."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WORDS

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get out coffee.
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says .......... "HEBREWS"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,< BR>"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and! see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, " It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
