So not Kosher

My bff J told me a little story today. J's grandma is Jewish, so J celebrated Hanukkah and Passover with her grandma when she was growing up. On Passover, a Seder Plate containing symbolic items representing the Exodus is passed around. One of those items is the Z'roa, or a lamb shankbone representing the lamb which was sacrificed in the temple in Jerusalem. One Passover, J was in charge of getting the Z'roa, but she couldn't find a lamb's shankbone. So what does one do when they cannot find a lamb bone? Apparently they substitute a bone from a pork chop! Ha ha, J!

What can you get for $2?

I am amazed. Today I saw gas for $1.999. I remember when I was a freshman in college and I freaked out because gas went over $2 a gallon, which meant filling up my 24 gallon tank cost more than half my monthly allowance. Now, my car has a more reasonably sized 17 gallon tank and it cost less than $40 to fill up. I'm not sure why gas has gotten so cheap, but whatever it is, keep it coming. I think this calls for a road trip. Anyone up for a vacation? Where should we go?

Halloween

I know you have all been dying for an update on my Halloween costuming adventure. Here are photos from the night. My friend J, was a bruised banana (you can see the bruises on her face) and I was Demeter. Here are some photos, courtesy of J, from the night.

Vote!

I voted. I actually went last week and voted early. I was afraid I'd forget if I waited until today. But, if you didn't go early, like me, you can still vote. To find out what issues will be on your ballot, go to leaveyourprint.com. Happy Voting!
