Chinese Food on Christmas in AZ

Yes, yes, yes...Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas. A custom we have followed since childhood.

Well our first Christmas in Peoria, Arizona and the Chinese Food restaurants were CLOSED!!!

We didn't know what to do since its a lifelong "Christmas" tradition. So after driving around and finding an IHOP, Denny's and Jack in the Box open, we found a Mexican restaurant open which we decided to go to. (Total shock to us!)

So next year, before Christmas, we will have to find a Chinese food restaurant that will be open(maybe in the Northeast Valley) but in the Northwest Valley, nothing was open!

We delayed it a day and had Chinese food on Dec. 26 for dinner.

Flutternoia

What is Flutternoia?

While I was getting my BA in English, I had a wonderful English Professor named Dr. Cori Wells. What a wonderful teacher and person.

She presented the class an assignment called Neologism essays. The goal was to make up a word and give the meaning behind how the word came of being and form a definition.

My word was Flutternoia. Unfortunately, I do not know where my essay went. I think it was lost on my back up floppy disk (yes, floppy disk!).

I do remember how I discovered my word. It was after a summer spent in Israel where I taught Israeli students the English language and just the pure adrenaline of living in Israel. It was also around the time of many bus bombings occurring so the combination of everything brought slight paranoia.

Flutternoia came of being from the flutter of butterflies wings you may feel in your stomach from an adrenaline rush with the paranoia that can occur for a split second.

I now use this assignment in my own English classes and am always amazed with the words that my students discover.

I won an iPod Shuffle!

With the crappiest day (week/month) from hell, I just got good news that I won an Ipod shuffle!

Not really sure what it is, but I know it looks cute, its small and plays music.
