A few things:
#1 Full house again, been kicked out of my room, but much more organized this time, proper futon and I was much more psychologically prepared for such an occurrence.
#2 Too many babies, makes a Granny stressed, thus the Aunt (and daughter of said Granny, must be prepared for a meltdown that can look like harsh criticism... aka SNAFU).
#3 The Children are wonderful.
#4 Their Parents are pretty cool too.

I'm on a break from the Nanny job, at least until after Pesach, where the mother said she'd like it if I came back, despite the fact that the baby is going into a creche [sp?] at the end of April. Which is good, because then I can give my all to the editing job, where I have two deadlines, one for this weekend, hopefully the Guy will send me all the files on time, I'd hate for someone to get delayed pays, specifically over the Holidays. And the second on the 21st of April, which is [livejournal.com profile] queenmab21's deadline as well due to her series of unfortunate events, which cause me stress from worrying about her:

Girl, always be well, I dunno if I can get any more of those kind of phone calls from you.

Thus, I'm on a sorta holiday, no official baby duty, no more chores (yeah, I had to do spring cleaning for my room today since Leigh and her family came over, yes in addition to Jade and her family... told you it was a full house) and I can just chill with Frida (the laptop) and gaze adoringly at my Nephews/Niece. Daddy thinks Libby remembers me a little, I don't think so, since the last time she saw me was August, but there is something there, she cuddles me everyday and I must say it makes me feel very good.

And as Porky says:
D-di-dia-dat's all folks!
Until next time, of course.

The following I've seen over LJ the past few days, but actually did them after seeing them over at [livejournal.com profile] bitter_moss:

What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Social Nerd
 

You're interested in things such as politics, psychology, child care, and peace. I wouldn't go so far as to call you a hippie, but some of you may be tree-huggers. You're the type of people who are interested in bettering the world. You're possible the least nerdy of them all; unless you participate in other activies that paled your nerdiness compared to your involvement in social activities. Whatever the case, we could still use more of you around. ^_^

Literature Nerd
 
Drama Nerd
 
Artistic Nerd

The rest are under the cut )

I just came back from a jog.

Oh, my Gods, Goddess's and Idols! I am such a sack of potatoes!

Dude! WTF?! How did I get this way? I used to be fit, I used to be able to run for long distances without tripping over my out of breath feet.

*sob* I'm so out of shape it's not even funny, I thought because I had a flat tummy and a normal sized waist ling and not so chubby thighs, I was okay. But Moses fucking Jesus, I felt like a fish out of water.

I guess I'm just gonna have to do regular jogs a few times a week for the rest of my life so that I don't end up like both my grandfathers. Yes there's heart disease in every family, but both grandfathers died of heart attacks and heart failure before they were 65 (which is very scary), not to mention that my aunt, after who I am named, died of an asthma attack at 28(!).

So it's time for Mel to get off her lazy, fat(ish) ass and get back her cardio-vascular abilities.

Wish me luck.

I'm home alone for the next hour.
*punches the air in triumph*

The grandparents are out with the babies.

The mother and father of said babies are gone for the night.

I'm going out for pool with Aviv later this evening.

Tomorrow I'm out for coffee with my sister (thus unfortunately canceling an undoubtedly wonderful evening with [livejournal.com profile] tamara_russo and [livejournal.com profile] queenmab21. But Jade is here only once a year, so... ya know, I love them lots, but time with big sister outweighs the rest).

And I have The Dresden Dolls at full blast!

ב-ynet פרסמו מאמר של ציוני דרך לשנה הראשונה של אולמרט/קדימה.
קראתי ואני מנחשת שהסיבה היחידה שהם לא ציינו את פרשת קצב זה בגלל שהיא פרצה לפני בחירות 2006.
רציתי לבכות.
זו הייתה השנה שלנו?
אני מאד שמחה שביליתי חצי ממנה בחו"ל.
למרות שכאשר חזרתי קיבלתי אגרוף מעורר הקאה מאד מהר.
אני מאד רוצה להגיד שזוועות מלחמת לבנון השנייה היא הדבר הכי גרוע שקרה בשנה הפוליטית האחרונה, אבל למעשה זה לא נכון, כי לבנון הייתה קטסטרופה שישראל באמת לא ציפתה לה. השתמשה בטרגדיה עבור קאסוס בלי, אבל מילא, כי באמת שהיינו צריכים לעשות משהו על מנת להשיב את החטופים (אני עדיין מופתעת שעוד לא הטילו נפלאם על עזה בגלל שליט).
אבל למעשה הדבר הכי נורא שקרתה למדינה שלנו זה שאזרחיה* יושבים בשקט ומקבלים את הפרשיות, ההונאות, השחיתויות ושאר פירות בוסר רקובים.

המדינה, קוראיי היקרים, היא לא רק הממשלה, למעשה הדבר האחרון שיכול להחשב כמדינה זו הממשלה. המדינה היא אזרחיה... כולם, יהודים (מכל זרם אפשרי), ערבים (מוסלמים ונוצרים כאחד), בדווים, דרוזים, צ'רקסים, נשים, גברים ומה שביניהם.

הרצל ובן גוריון אם לא היו מתגלגלים בקברם היו מתאבדים.
התועבה הגזענית, הסקסיסטית והמיליטריסטית שהמדינה הזו נהייתה היא לא הציונות שמשמכה את הוריי לעזוב את דרום אפריקה ולהיות "עם חופשי".

בהגדת פסח נאמר ש"עודנו עבדים", אני הייתי רוצה להאמין שחז"ל שכתבו ופיחו רוח חיים לספר מדהים זה נקטו בפילוסופיה שעל העם היהודי לזכור מהיכן בא: מדיכוי, השמדת עם ופרעות.
בכל דור נאלצו היהודים להתמודד עם זוועות אלה, אז עכשיו שיש לנו אדמה שכחנו שאנחנו היינו האומללים.

איפה אנחנו? לאן הגענו? בשם אלוהים וכל הנביאים, זו המדינה שלנו?

אני, אישית, מוחה.

*אני מודה, גם אני, הרי אני בסך הכל כותבת על זה... הפגנות זה נחשב לאטיביזם?

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
