hi friends. its been forever and a day. and another day after that. and the truth is – its 8:49 pm and all i really want to do is fast forward through the MJ tribute that everyone got to watch today but me…because when you are a camp director – even pop culture has to wait – AS IF! but first – a quick post of bullet points – because the fact that i haven’t blogged in so long is causing me to breakout in hives. ready?

• COUPLE OF RABBIS were in town for a few days en-route to their honeymoon in hawaii.  i can’t tell you how good it was to drink wine, watch 90210 and just be with really good friends.  my life here feels incredibly full and real and happy – but i miss my good friends on the east coast – which reminds me what good friends i have
• ABN is in the UK at a conference and has been since saturday.  i have friends who have partners who travel constantly but that’s not how we roll and i’m not used to it.  luckily i’ve had COR to keep me company, although they left this morning and now the house is uber quiet.  i stuff my bed with pillows and of course the torah and my silky pillow, but it’s just not the same
• yesterday was the first monday of camp that didn’t include a puker – success!
• this is the second week of no song leader.  it means i lead morning songs every morning.  everyone will be relieved on friday when he’s back…everyone
• BEX is gone and that makes me sad
• the word gym is apparently no longer part of my vocabulary
• i’m finally getting TINTED by a professional on friday
• i decided that as a camp director i’m allowed to wear CROCS.  i know they are ugly and i always swore i never would – but i think its an essential part of the camp director wardrobe.  and yes, they are hot pink
• my favorite part of today was watching the musical theater kids audition for their roles in the music man – priceless
• i forgot to take a camper to her 3:30 swim lesson today – even though her mom called three times to ensure that she got there.  oops
• its possible the cleaning lady is coming twice this week

there’s more – but my brain is shutting down – fast.  if i can take off my makeup before climbing into bed i’ll deem the night a success.  its the small stuff.
