Off to the Holy Land
Ok, so HASC really isn't the Holy Land but don't tell that to my mom. Tom. morning (actually in about six hours) I will be heading to NY then Friday morning I am off to HASC. I am really excited and really nervous and in a lot of ways scared out of my mind. I mean this summer has so many new challenges I don't know if I am up for it. I am sure when I get in to the swing of it though I will end up having another wonderful summer.
In prep for my journey in to the mountains I went to get my eyebrows done today. I am laying on the eyebrow waxing chair cringing in necessary pain when the manicurists/waxer says to me in broken English "why aren't you married?". I said and I quote "what?" "Your sister" she says "Is twin and she is married a long time, why you not married?" Nothing shocks me these days but this floored me (ok not quite but if I wasn't lying down at the time I would have prob. ended up on the floor.
So, in my haste to pack and get myself together I have no clue what I am bring to camp. I know I will end up up there with out a toothbrush or shower shoes (no I remember packing those). Either that or ten pairs of shoes I will never wear. Though I did manage to fill two duffles and a suitcase with something (not to mention the small bag holding my blanket and my purse which might as well be carry on luggage (ok it is not that big). And I have to figure out how to get my suitcase and my small bag up to the heights (my mother likes to refer to it as X) on the subway. If I manage this I think I will deserve a drink (of diet Pepsi).
This could be my last post for a while because although there is usually online hook up in camp it is really hard to actually get online (unless you are up at some crazy hour which I might be). Leave messages anyway I will be back to check and maybe tell y'all what is going in my crazy life.
Have a great summer y'all. Enjoy the beautiful weather even if you aren't on vacation.

Why its great to be a guy:
1) You only have to pack one 'outfit' known as a suit
2) You only bring three or four pairs of shoes to camp: shabbos shoes, sneakers, and sandals (and sometimes nice weekday shoes)

Hey no polo shirts, I hear they are vital.
Oy, packing is one of those times I almost wish I were male, almost but not quite.
