That's the sound of Anna thanking God that we didn't have to sing "Light One Candle"

rafaela quote of the evening: "All right, Weisenheimer, you clean the wax off of Judah Maccabee's balls."

(Prior to that it had been: "Ugh! There's nothing worse than a Manischewitz roofie.")

Yup, Hanukkah celebration down in Saratoga Springs. Much with the singing, much with the baklava, way much with the candles, too much with me trying to get my yarmulke bobby-pinned just so. Great fun all around. Earlier, I got to get chased around by the young'uns, which was, well, tiring. Before even that, I had an appointment with Dr. B, who gave me the official (i.e. typed) results of the liver ultrasound, ganked some more blood for one last worst-case-scenario hepatitis B test, and told me that a better diet and exercise would probably help the, and I quote, "fatty intrusion". Yippie skippie.

Oh, and in our ongoing pursuit of our Vulture Chic decorating style, we managed to scavenge an über-comfy papasan chair that was in the process of abandonment. It looks lovely along with our equally-scavenged mauve bookshelves, art-mod wall clock and plush ottoman. Now, if we just find a decent futon somewhere....

If you guys can help kick in for fabric and batting and stuff, I can sew you some nice slipcovers for the futon of the washable persuasion so if the cats decide the litterbox just isn't plush enough they can be tossed in the wash. Then, you'll have another to put on. :)
