magidI went shopping with a friend, more to hang out with her and her baby than to buy things, though I did become the owner of far too many lemons again, thinking I might make another batch of preserved lemons. This would be easier if the cleaning people hadn't hidden the (bright orange) juicer somewhere, hopefully still in the kitchen, though I haven't figured out where else I should check.
It seems strange that I only find strange Hanukah products when out with her. Last time, it was Hanukah houses (gingerbread houses decorated in blue and white, with a chocolate Maccabee at the door, a menorah on one side, and Hanukah gelt scattered about). This time, it was Hanukah crackers, like English xmas crackers that you pull and there are little things inside (not a food product, in other words, though there was Hanukah pasta there as well). What made them Hanukah crackers? They were wrapped in blue and silver foil, of course! I suppose someone must've bought some, since there were only a couple of boxes left, remaindered. Crackers are not a traditional part of Hanukah, but it seems someone is making them so...
I went to the gym again (4 times in 4 days; I start to feel accomplished. Also that I'm a better body owner than I have been in a while.), though without a bag of stuff, figuring I'd shower at home afterward. Forgot to bring anything to pull my hair back with. I realized this in the locker room, as a woman put her hair back. I made some offhand comment about it, and she offered me one, having just gotten a bag of 100 of them for xmas. It's the small things...
I tried some classes for the first time, and they were interesting. I was pleased I could make it through one class using 8-lb weights for arm movements; it's about where I was last time I was regularly lifting weights.
