Ok, I've learnt a few things this purim. Firstly, no matter how much you prepare for it, you'll never be ready. Plan your shaloch manos weeks in advance, but you'll still be up all night packing them, and have to run back to the store 3 times for things you've missed.
Oh, and proven fact- you can survive on 2 hours of sleep. I've tried it.
Costumes are not exclusively for kids- everyone should dress up. Another thing I've learned.
After baking all day on a fast day, (surprisingly, it made me less hungry, not more) ruining half the stuff I baked, hearing the migilla, breaking the fast, making a new batch of stuff, I was told I was a party pooper, and it didn't sit too well with me. I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed.
But I told myself, it's purim, you gotta put on something. So I dragged out a few things, threw it together, and voila! A costume! Yay! The girls seemed to like it, so I think I did well.
Tel Aviv doesn't seem to celebrate purim. Weird. They're all looking at me as if I'm the strange one. So I'm off to Bnei Brak, where the real fun is. And tomorrow, it's another full day of fun in Jeruselam. TWO days of purim??? Double the fun!
Hope you're all having a good one!! More tomorrow!
Two days? Have fun. I was never one for the two-day chag.
