chanaleh | oh, it's too much happiness! (Reply)

I am hanging out at work getting some stuff done while I wait for Kinkos to finish printing my order [hey, they just called, I better get this wrapped up], so:

lyriendel tagged me in the "list one thing that made you happy every day for 8 days" meme. Rather than start with today, or with Sunday when she (ostensibly) tagged me, I'm arbitrarily going to shift backwards a bit. I'm pleased to say that the difficulty lies in narrowing down the happy-making, although I am also-arbitrarily deciding that if I can kludge them into a single sentence, that qualifies. :-)

Thursday 12/11: Successfully got the shul newsletter into the mail (with

ablock's help), and still managed to catch the second half of The Future Rabbi Breindel's highly enjoyable talk on "Jews in Science Fiction" at TBB, where I saw a marvelous number of people I know from different directions.

Friday 12/12: Got a long-overdue massage from

chaiya, plus some additional quality downtime, before the very successful 20s&30s Shabbat dinner at

tremontstshul.

Saturday 12/13: Honorable Menschen's CD release concert drew about 100 people (!) and was a veritable lovefest on a scale I haven't seen since, well, my wedding.

Sunday 12/14: The

tremontstshul Chanukah Art & Craft Fair was actually a worthwhile venture for most of the people displaying (and mostly a good time even for those that didn't sell anything), and then I got the fun of vast quantities of cheese and champagne in the good company of

justom. [

firstfrost, I'm sorry I didn't really get to do more than wave at you guys! It all comes of running back-to-back events, thereby invariably showing up late...]

Monday 12/15: I had a productive day at work, making up somewhat for freaking out at my boss the preceding Thursday (q.v.), and made a reasonably successful quasi-tuna-casserole in under half an hour when I got home.

Tuesday 12/16: The promotional postcards I ordered for the Menschen and for

tremontstshul arrived today, and OMG do they look awesome!

We'll just have to see what goodness the next two days have in store...
