Day 190 (lots of good stuff)

No, not a job. Silly gooses. I did apply for a couple of jobs, though, and that's something.

The good stuff I'm talking about is a 5 lb. batch of challah sort of good stuff. In a Bosch. Ohhhhhhhh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Good stuff. Need I say more? I need not.

Some of that dough got turned into "rugelach." I put "rugelach" in quotation marks for the simple reason that my wonderful chocolate sauce recipe, that has never failed me before, does not know how to be filling for rugelach. The whatever-they-ares are yummy enough, but they sure as heck ain't rugels. Too bad. Anyone know a good recipe for rugelach filling?

In other "good stuff" news, I called not one, not two, but THREE daycare numbers today. In fairness, the numbers for the first two places were out of service, but did I know that when I called? I did not. So I get full credit for full intentions, thank you very much. The one woman I did speak with asked me very apologetically if I could call back Friday or Sunday to speak in greater detail (I can), but the 2-3 minute conversation we had went well. Progress!

I also did two loads of laundry. Two! How efficient is that? Housekeeping tip for all of you out there who need such things: keeping dirty laundry in the laundry room makes it much more likely that I will actually put the laundry in the washing machine. Perhaps it will help you in your slovenly ways, as well. Haha! I tell such funny jokes!

Seriously, though, throwing my/BSM's dirty laundry in the laundry room (which is right off of the bathroom with the tub in it) means that it takes less than 3 minutes to get a load of laundry going. None of this hunting around the-- What? No, I always kept my dirty laundry neatly collected in one spot. What is this noise of having to spend a solid half-an-hour looking for it all? Crazy talk from the slovenly ones in the peanut gallery, I am sure. That will do!

In other great news, Husbinator went back to Home Center today. We were there earlier this week, intending to buy more heavy-duty reasonably-priced shelving units, but it turned out those would be on super-sale on Thursday. Hence Husbinator going back to Home Center today. Well, he went back, and he bought lots of shelves, and he checked out twice. You see, Home Center has weekly sale items (limit 3) that you get at a great price if you spend 150 ILS or more. We now own not three, but six (6!) ceiling fans. A chicken in every pot! A ceiling fan in every room! Yes, this is a rental, but no, standing fans just aren't cutting it. I don't think we need to buy air conditioners, but we definitely need ceiling fans. And now we have 'em!
