I've Got Gadgets and Gizmos A Plenty...

The holiday season landed me with some extra cash in my pocket. Which went straight into the bank. To pay the bills.

M2 says to spend it on something fun.

Having heat is fun. And a roof over our heads. And groceries.

Plus it's not enough for new hair ;)

But seriously, what would you buy with some extra spending money?

Irony

We had a holiday party at work. They officially call it a holiday party these days but everyone slips up and says "christmas party."

Because the only Holiday they decorated for was Christmas, and the food was all non-kosher, I made some dreidel cookies. I decorated the plate with some actual dreidels and set them out with the rest of the food.

About 20 minutes into the party I noticed a table of girls playing with the dreidels, trying to spin them right side up and upside down and trying to hit the other dreidels with their own.

The ironic part? The girl having the most fun playing was a GREEK.

Not Frumspeak

That awkward moment in a verbal conversation where english words sound like frumspeak

Me: so will you have to make phone calls and send emails to them?
M2: nope, the students will do that for me
Me: look at you, with your minions!
Me: um, that was minions. not minyans.
Me: with an 'o' not a 'y'

Flushing Money Down the Drain

"Tights and airplane bathrooms do not go well together"

That should have been the most bizarre thought in my head on the airplane... and it was....

Until I saw a glint of something shiny - my white-gold bracelet - sliding down the drain along with the blue toilet water...

Poetry rbtzn Style

and this is why i don't write poetry:

Mom: can you write a get well poem for a towel and spatula "bouquet"?

Me: hey f-SIL, we heard you're sick
so here are some dishtowels on a stick
we hope that you get well soon
and enjoy this spatula-spoon

(um no apparently i cant)
