Ok, so I’m crazy. This I know. But get this: I’ve decided to do another random, crazy event because well….that’s me. I’ve joined the “Jewish Princess? Odyssey”. What in the world is that you may be asking yourself? Especially when you picture me and all my very non Jewish Princess ways. I’m that girl that rolls out of bed, wears practically no makeup, makes sex remarks like a guy and is a firefighter for god’s sakes. I’m definitely no princess. But with the tongue-in-cheek name, it actually is an event that when I expl [View Full Entry]

So before I forget any of the things that happened to me today, I have to write them all out. Tonight I was given the opportunity to go to Rosh Hashana dinner with my loyal blog reader, Itay and his beautiful family. His wife Galit and adorable daughter welcomed me into their home in Ness Ziona and adopted me for the holidays. Which in and of itself is amazing and makes me love this country even more, because it's of people like their family and my friends here that make living here on my own bearable. The fact that I have [View Full Entry]

Fergie's song "Big Girls Don't Cry" is the story of my life. It pretty much sums up almost every relationship (professional, romantic and friendship wise) I have ever had. I'm feeling down. I'm sincerely starting to doubt the job prospect for me here in Israel - at least in the firefighting/medic capacity. It seems as if I am stone-walled every 5 steps I take. It's really starting to get to me. Now, I'm all for the belief and truly I do believe it, that I am where God means me to be. I am in love with living in Israel, in [View Full Entry]

So I've decided something. I have decided that I despise old people in the supermarket. Now, in order to be fair, most people go by me unnoticed on their shopping excursions and I have met 2 very nice old people before, but on the whole? I can't stand them. Let's just refer back to my Pesach adventure with the insane little old man that rammed his cart into me repeatedly and screamed at me because well...I'm chalking it up to he may be bi-polar or schizophrenic. One or the other. This is just one example. (Go back to oldeposts if you're [View Full Entry]

So I took a extended vacation from writing my daily adventures and besides my one loyal reader and some of my family, I don't think anyone noticed. But since I tend to write for myself, more than anyone else, that's ok by me :) *** I would like to start off by saying "oh my god, my body hurts like no other." To actually put my arms around someone in a hug is a bit much for me right now...I think Ofir (my trainer) is slowly trying to kill me. He stuck me on this jacked up routine and while ok, [View Full Entry]

Dictionaries are a wonderful thing. If anything, when you're highly bored or slightly out of your mind from the pain in your mouth....you take a look and see what's really in that magical book. A quick glance in the "B" section gives me "biological warfare" (לחמה ביולוגית) or "to build air raid shelters" (למקלת) which in reality that last ת should be a ת sofit, but I can't figure out how to do that on my keyboard at the moment. Then comes the distinction of "to get someone p [View Full Entry]

I would like to dedicate this entry to my nose, my stuffy head and my general unpleasant-ness that accompanies those parts of my anatomy. You know....in America, I had asthma. I mean, I still have asthma (praise G-d if moving to Israel cured me of that), but I have never had any allergies except the stuff I was umm...allergic to. Meaning, when I say I was allergic to cat dander that meant that when I came into contact with cats, I would have an allergic reaction somewhat. Not that Israel has ANY shortage of cats….. Or when I say I'm [View Full Entry]

Ok....so I wrote this blog on the 23rd and it's now.....the 29th. But who's counting? :) Oh come on now. Cell phones are killing bees? Bees???. Give me a break. Upon picking up the International Herald Tribune, I came across this ridiculous article. First, people think that talking too much on cell phones are frying their brain cells and it leads to brain cancer. They even made these ridiculous band-aid looking things to attach to your cell phone so that it "blocks" the harmful death rays your cell phone apparently emits. Now that that crazy fad has passed, the newest harmful [View Full Entry]

So each day I start out with a list of things that I have to do that day, like most normal people do. Sometimes if I'm motivated, I'll even write it out but most of the time I just rely on my usually coherent mind to actually remember the stuff I need to do. A lot of the things I need to do center around the basic needs of a human being... 1) food (always an adventure here in Israel) 2) shelter (a never ending battle to make my apartment look more homely) 3) hygiene (well....no one likes a dirty [View Full Entry]

OK so this is going to be a short blog, but I wanted to share this story with you. So we get food paid for us at work during the night shift. Depending on how many people are working depends on the food we get. Tonight in particular we had 11 people working which meant to only be able to spend 100NIS we had to come up with a cost effective way. Hence the idea to go to the supermarket and get cold cuts, cheese, salads, and bread. We even threw in some barukahs (potato filled pastries...not periogies but actual [View Full Entry]
