Passover=matzah=ugh
Apr. 19th, 2008 11:03 pmLook! I have a pretty layout! Made by the amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sunlitdays. And she was super nice and personalized it for me! Now it's even more special. *pets layout*
So tonight was the first night of Passover. My week of matzah has begun. Ugh. And I had to spend time with the family tonight, and more tomorrow. Tonight wasn't too horrible though. We went to my aunt's house for the seder. She invited her good friends Ron and Bev (who aren't Jewish, but we made them participate anyways!) whom I've met a few times before. Anyways, myself, my sister, my bro-inlaw, my aunt and Ron were sitting in the family room after dinner and chatting, and it made me realize how much more special friends are then family. Of course family is special and important. But there's nothing like a bond between two best friends. Ron and my aunt were talking, and Ron was teasing her about something, and the smile on her face as we were all chuckling was so bright and so adoring. One doesn't get the same look when chatting with family. Friends are whom you share everything with. And you don't necessarily do the same with family. At least I don't, and I know my aunt doesn't. My friends are the ones who know most everything about me, and who I trust the most. Sure I love my family, but I cherish my friends.
Anyways, I also realized I know a lot about London. Well how to get around and stuff. A family friend is going to London and she asked me how to get from the airport to my friend Hilary's house (who I stayed with when I went in February). Although why she asked me and not Hilary....who knows? But I answered anyways. I didn't know the answer from memory because she's flying into Stansted airport and I've never flown into there. But I knew exactly where to go to look it up, and when I wanted to compare the difference in price between the Stasted Express and a National Rail train, I knew where ot look that up too. I know it doesn't seem that hard, but most people (here anyways) wouldn't know. Or they'd be googling forever. And now that I'm typing all this out, it kind of seems stupid, but I felt proud before dammit!
And on that note, I think it's about time to end this. I hope everyone is doing well!!
