For the first time in my life, I have my own car!! This is Big!! I always had the excuses that Manhattan didn't require a car (which is true) and that I'm a driving-phobic (which I was due to an accident which luckily kept me alive), or that I simply really really hated driving--but here in Israel, which is my current residence, it has become a necessity. And yes... I kinda like driving now... (never believed that one would change, but hey, I always surprise myself! A good lesson to know)
I picked up the car today, it's a used 98' white Kia Pride, it's charmingly ugly (I have no idea who designed it!!), I gave it a nickname, and I'm planning on decorating it and making it a little portable suite. A very sweetly scented suite. Yay! With cushions, a purple blanket, pictures, stickers and curtains. I know I'm a little (too?) giddy, but I've never owned a car, and I have actually been scared of the responsibility. It seemed like an unnecessary headache. But as my dear friend Karin phrased it : "you are going to feel ecstatic with liberty". And how can you beat That?
More to come on that....
Last night I have taught a Middle Eastern dance workshop at a bachelorette party. It was so exciting to convey my knowledge and moves with the sweet and shy bride and her hilarious friends. It was a "light"Orthodox group (very modern), and they really impressed and surprised me with how open and coordinated they were. Even better than some of my "professional" students.
