So another audio book bites the dust- another by the same author of the shopaholic.
Samantha known to her friends and audio book listeners as Sam is a lawyer due to unfortunate incident turns house keeper, I was laughing the whole book through, but this gets an 8 on the shopaholic scale. I can’t say why, since racer is few chapters/ tapes behind and I might spoilt the ending.
So for entertainment – this week was jason’s birthday – he got a little drunk… and it’s all here

today like the domestic goddess, I found myself completing the hurricane of apartment clean up. Mostly thanks to racer- I have 2 large drawer neatly organized, in folders, sub folders, and some sub, sub sub folders all heavily labeled , ironed and pressed.
Some of you have seen my former filing system- where a drawer is a heap and a file is a pile- so completing the last part (0.34% of the whole thing) is some sort of achievement. So with the domestic goddess in the background , finished the kitchen, vacuumed (or hooverd), and yes, I know how to vacuum, I read vacuuming for dummies, and kind of washed the floor. It is still difficult to wash the floor here, since every corner around has a carpet- nowhere to dump the water to. And my shiny dry mop- which sweefed me of my feet a while back, has lost it shininess. I was using it and the music from the commercial was not there. Should I stop listening to commercials? Are they lying to me??.
About the link above- do you really think I will expose other people’s shame on YouTube – I will share my own shame gladly like I have before. I will save the video’s in a private location for future blackmail attempts or something.
I received a reply from Manchester united- they told me to approach their charity organization and try there, wished me luck on the run and sent me a signed posterJ, I was hoping to get a donation- but still a nice reply- the other places I approached have yet not replied.
I can’t find my camera charger- could it be still in Israel???- so I can’t take updated photos of the updated house.
I have some new items which I never had an understanding of their usefulness, and it is strange to own them.
For example- you go out of your way (all the way to Michigan) to get a table- you thing (you, being a guy) that the issue is resolved, but then , since you have a table, the table is cold and needs a blanket (I believe it is called a table cloth), and not just any cloth, it has to be fashionable and fitting with the other furniture- and now we have a shimmering red nice looking table cloth and the house actually looks ready for guests( consider this a formal invitation). So since you have a shimmering cloth, you eat on it, and some of us (I am here by myself right now, so us is me or myself) are messier than most and the cloth risks stains, so you quickly find out you need and every day cloth and a fancy cloth, so a table is more than just a table.
The filing cabinet- I was in doubt if it had any actually use- but it proved that it did on week 1- as I was looking up my frequent flier numbers, Toyota numbers and another thing- I actually went there 3 times to get stuff out (and got it back in!)- if I would have read this a year ago, I would have told myself to lay of the Amsterdam space cookies or something.
There is a strange box next to my door now. Here it is common when you walk in to a house to take your shoes off, not usually done in Israel unless its purring rain , and then the shoes are left on the porch. Here it is common, since there is rain or frozen rain all the time. But I never thought of a chair by the door to help get the shoes off, I guess that’s because I never wore high heels or boots before ( I still havn’t- maybe I should where heels for next Purim). So I have this leather bench for that, which also masquerades as a box to put more stuff, and now it is full of stuff as well- so when you come in and sit down to take of your shoes and want to play a game, than just get up reach within and grab something. The strangest thing happened yesterday, I was actually using it to put socks? It was never needed before, spooky- so guys- if you try, you can find practical usages, but you have to try. And gals – tell him, it’s a box for games…
Keys are an interesting thing, they are always needed and yet so often lost (or forgot in Vegas), so why didn’t I think of putting hooks by the door to hang them on- so guys, you can think of this as a tool to help you not be late for something, and gals, something to avoid fussing about.
I have more stuff yet un assembled- so more on that in coming episodes- of couples guide to the modern bachelor
Got to go, already passed midnight and have work + training tomorrow (did only relaxing yoga today)
Oh- soon i will send you my Purim photo from this year, did you think I would forget Purim???
