Muse of Erev Shabbos

Did you ever sit outside by the pool in the sunshine on an erev shabbos?
It's 5 minutes to 12:00.
That means I have 5 minutes before I have to get the challahs in the oven.

Till then I am enjoying this morning's peace.
The day is gorgeous.
The sun keeps playing hide n seek with the clouds so I go from toasty warm to slightly chilled every couple of minute or so.
Lincoln Logs sit in the sun drying after being fished out of the pool after being thrown into the pool by naughty nephews at MMW's pidyon haben.
If I sit still enough the sparrows flutter around on the patio pecking at yesterdays leftover bread.
The air is still.
Then it's not as a cool breeze draws random designs on the water.
Creepy Crawly needs some serious attention as he has not creeped nor crawled in some time now. :(
I'm sitting legs and bows on the swing chair and my knees are burning.
mmm.
mmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmm.
love it.
just gotta love it.

Did you ever wish people came with instructions?
Just a note or a tag.
Maybe a T-shirt:

Handle with care. Low Self Esteem. Doesn't do well with too much attention. Keep away from spotlight. Thrives on honest relationships. Allergies to insincere compliments, loud people and haughtiness.
or
Idealist. Wants everyone to be happy. Will do anything to make sure everyone is happy. Sensitive to criticism. Thrives on compliments. Enjoys creating things. Allergies to negative people, depression and inactivity.

Imagine if every time someone thought or felt something a little sign flashed saying "I'm starting to feel insulted', or 'I didn't really mean what I said I was just saying that cuz I'm feeling a little insecure right now."

I once invented an anti-crash mechanism where all cars are surrounded with a strong magnetic strip, all negative. Or all positive. So they repel one another.
And if a car comes too close to another car they automatically push away from each other.
This would work to prevent getting rear ended.
But what if there are lots of cars involved.
Then you end up with a bunch of cars bouncing of each other.
So the cars end up in fine shape but the people get whip lashed up the wazoo.
Oh well.
T'was a nice thought.
:)
Gotta go put the challahs in the oven.

Gut shabbos all.

hey hana, nice blog!
as i sit here TRYING to read it i have great difficulty for there are about 5 girls sitting behind me singing on the top of their lungs, completely off tune, singing a song that i can't even figure out!
i did manage though to catch the part where people should come with instructions. well right now i wish that people should come with an OFF button!
ciao
