It's been awhile...

...and so I figured I owe you all a new post. There's been a lot going on in my world; unfortunately, much of it is un-bloggable for various reasons. No, I'm not seriously dating someone (as a friend of mine says she always suspects people of dating when they fall off the face of the earth without warning) and I'm not sick (although I was, for awhile). I'll fill you all in on the past few weeks...okay, month...whatever.

To go in rather backwards order, last night I met Irina! We went out to Makor, about which I'd heard rumors that they were closing, but which we confirmed are absolutely untrue. Their current location is being sold to CUNY, but they are relocating to the area around Houston and Canal, and they're anticipating the move to work strongly in their favor, as the nightlife in the area is much stronger and they'll be able to stay open later than they do now. It was really cool meeting a fellow JBlogger, and we both had a good time. Here's to many more blogger meets! :)

Something else going on in my life right now: Weffriddles. I first heard of them a little over a month ago over on Ezzie's blog, but after getting stuck on Batch 1, Level 4, and finding the forums rather unhelpful, I gave up. Last week, a friend of mine suggested them as a way to alleviate boredom at work (and there's been quite a bit of that, too), but I sort of brushed her off--I thought I'd tried it, and that would be it. Not so. I started doing them again yesterday and I'm hooked. It's a good thing that it's been relatively quiet (bli ayin hara), because otherwise I'd be in biiiiiig trouble for neglecting my work to do these things!

Backlog: Well, as I said before, a lot of it is unbloggable. A lot of frustrating situations which are all too identifiable even if I leave out the details, and so much more. But life goes on, and now things are better, at least for the time being. Baruch Hashem yom yom.

Thanks for the update - you've sorta inspired me to blog again as soon as I have time.
I'm soooo gonna get addicted to that weffriddles thing, and it'll be entirely your fault. ;)

Hopefully everything is okay now.

hisbonenus--you're very welcome, and I'll be checking your blog shortly. Please don't get addicted to Weffriddles, because then I'll have to wait even LONGER to talk to you....

nice to see you back, that's interesting that you got to see a fellow blogger. I met a fellow blogger last year but they didn't know it was me. It was nice to see them.

Scraps said...

jessica--nice to hear from you! Haven't seen you 'round these parts for a while.

kasamba--aww, thanks! :)

sw/fm--hehe, aren't they addicting? I'm up to level 45, but I'm rather stuck. Did you try checking the Weffriddles forums for hints?

lvnsm27--if they didn't know you were you, how did you know they were them? (Does that sentence make any sense at all?)

socialworker/frustrated mom said...

yeah I checked for hints, still couldn't figure out from the hints. I don't think I will go back to it, too addicting as we both know.

I knew it was them because I saw a pic of them before meeting them.
A commentor put a link in the comment section to the person's only simchas page. What's even more interesting is that their family lives a few blocks north of me
