One woman complimented my sheitel, which was a surprise because I'd been fighting with it all day (I need to wash and set it soon...like yesterday soon). Another, upon hearing that I have a foster son, said she really admires me. Several women found out I live in Woodside and gushed about my Rabbi. Why do I get so proud when people talk about how amazing my Rav is? It's not like I can take any credit. But he is pretty astounding. Everyone who found out I come from Woodside was impressed that I "schlepp so far" for mikveh duty. Um... it's 15-20 minutes away. That's not far! Granted there's a mikveh 15-20 seconds away from my house, but that doesn't mean it's a bother to drive 15 minutes to be an attendant in Potomac. Besides, the Potomac Mikveh is really nice!
It was a good night.
Until I came home and found the 4 inch long, 3/4 inch diameter slug crawling on my garage door. In it's own way it was kind of cute. But also kind of slimy looking...
