Quite (and Quote) the Weekend

It was quite the weekend...! We think it was Elianna's favorite weekend with almost all her favorite people: SJ and Erachet visited us for Shabbos, J&S (and for the first time, our friendly sometime lurker Shosh!) came over Friday night, RivkaT stopped by, we were late for a kiddush for D&E before their upcoming move away, ate at Pobody's Nerfect & Shake for lunch, had a dessert at D&E where it seemed a nice chunk of our friends were, and then hosted shalosh seudos for a bunch more, including Rea and Xvi.*

Oh, and: My brother and SIL had a baby boy on Shabbos (Mazel Tov!!!), Kayla's birthday was Friday, I got a job, and we had parties galore it seemed.

All in all, it was nice, exciting, exhausting, and nothing compared to what next week will probably be like in terms of hecticity. This is niece/nephew #17 for us (#8 on my side), and mother and baby are bH doing well. Ben, Hen, and Shen are super excited about their new baby brother!

And of course, there's never a dull moment, so here are some of the best quotes from another great Shabbos:
Serach: What's Daddy's favorite color?
Elianna: E!

Elianna (rambling about a story she's making up as she goes along) "...I made a cupcake."
SJ: What was in it?
Elianna: Vanilla... and ice cream... and blue!

Older gentleman on way home from shul, as we walked past heading toward a kiddush: {smiling} "Are you going in the right direction?"
Ezzie: {smiles} Yes, I am. Perhaps you are going in the wrong direction?
Older gentleman: No, I'm going in the right direction as well. Isn't it something that two people going in opposite directions can both still be headed in the right direction?
Ez - I just love that one.
* Later, we got ice cream, although we did not have a hot chocolate ending.

    Really, really happy about the job--but hope it doesn't cut into blogging time to much :-)

  9. (At some point we should all have hot chocolate, even if it's not an ending.)

    Actually...!

    Story goes like this:

    (Ahem)

    Once upon a time there was a goldfish named Ezzie. Sometimes he liked to masquerade as a cat named Garfield.

    Really he was actually a person. Still named Ezzie, though.

    Ezzie lost his job and was very sad. It meant he had to spend all day blogging instead.

    ...Well, he wasn't too sad about that. Or the gchatting. Or getting fifty billion emails a day.

    But everyone kept bothering him about getting a job, so he figured the best way to get everyone to leave him alone about it was to actually get one.

    After a long year of sitting by the computer playing fantasy sports, watching youtube videos, and making economic surveys, Ezzie finally got a job.

    Serach, Elianna, Kayla, the rest of his family, all his close friends, all his friendly friends, and all the people who don't even know him but read his blog were SO happy for him. And they all sat by their computers drinking virtual hot chocolate.

    The end!

    :D

    (And then some of them even had real hot chocolate, because the idea of drinking virtual hot chocolate is quite upsetting!)
