ladies night in ravenstown
Last night after work Jaime and Virginia met me outside of my building so we could get some happy hour specials down in Fell's Point. Just us girls. We talked about smelly things and clothes for a while, like girls do, but our waitress was so proud of us each time we ordered another pitcher
"I like girls who can drink," she'd say. She offered to get us new chilled glasses.
"nahhh," we replied in unison taking a swig without a toast.
The waitress loved us.
Raven's radio was there with number 56 talking about the game in New England and the harsh weather conditions. We didn't win the Plasma TV, but we did get free merch and Virginia got hers signed. She let a man at the bar kiss her cheek after she had a red bull and vodka. He said that he'd like her "contact information". But she smiled and waved goodbye instead.
Today, it's so windy that I almost got knocked over. Everyone is walking in slow motion with wild hair lashing against their faces. I sat on a bench and set my purse next to me. The wind picked it up and threw it back down inches from the harbor. The harbor looks like the ocean today with galloping splashes and waves. What if I lost my purse in the harbor? Would I fetch it out or would I let it sink?
Everyone in the office is getting pumped for the decorating contest. The executive office stole our idea, those twerps. We had to start all over today.
I'm personally getting pumped for Hanukkah. I know that I'm not Jewish, but I can still get excited, can't I? I learn a little more about it every year. I knew about the miracle of oil lasting for 8 days I knew why we lit the candles. But Sarah told me about the best part of Hanukkah ever: donuts!! To celebrate the miracle, you rejoice in eating foods rich in oil. This rules! Potato latkes and donuts and I'm pretty sure that I can stretch it to French fries and onion rings. Jaime told me that she'd teach me the prayer next Tuesday on the first night. This weekend I'm going to go out looking for that delicious chocolate money, what is it? I know it begins with a G. Glint? No that doesn't seem right. But anyway, chocolate money and fried food: this is a good holiday.
Today the network crashed and instead of really working I made paper snowflakes.

The chocolate money is gelt. Mmmmmmm, good stuff.
If you want to do Hanukkah, you're in the right city. Drive out to Pikesville (Jewish Central) and go to one of the Jewish Giftshops on Reisterstown Road (there's a bunch of them). You can get Menorahs, Dreidels, Gelt, Candles, Latkes, and all kinds of other great stuff.
Eventually, you can take Judaism classes and go for the gusto by converting. My wife did it!
