Counting...

I am not liking the omer very much right now...but I think that I would like it less if we did it like Shamai (counting down vs. Hillel who counted up- reference is the Hanukkah candles). Actually I have nothing against the omer, rather about counting in general.

There is a lot of counting that I am doing lately....
- The bed bath and beyond registry tells me that there are 131 days left until our civil wedding in Ardmore, PA.
- I leave Israel and Ari in two months for a very lonely but hopefully packed summer at Ramah. I told Ari that in a way, I hope that these next 2 months fly because it means that the 2 months that we are apart this summer will go quickly, and yet, I want to enjoy every moment that we are together or at least in the same time-zone.
- I have 7 finals left...and a wedding to plan. I really need to get started on both.
- And counting hours...my alarm will go off in 6 hours...maybe I should go to bed...
