Revised threat level

Yes, I changed my last post to amber - disaster has been averted and I managed to get my haggadah printed in time for Erev Pesach. Naturally, we found two more mistakes in the Haggadah as we read through it last night but they are minor corrections and fortunately I had not printed up the haggadahs for our guests on Saturday so theirs will be ok. Nastassja called while she and Ray were out shopping for Matzah, matzoh ball soup and horseradish. He is so cute...talking and singing non-stop. I can't wait to have him sing Mah Nishtahnah at our Seder sometime in the near future! Well, here's our cozy little family Seder...

Why is this night the same....??!?!

Normally I don't kvetch....at least not on my blog. But here it is a few days before Pesach, I'm doing my usual going nuts stuff...including revising my Haggadah, of course. Everything was going swimmingly....having a wonderful time using pages to make up my Haggadah (windows word - ICK!) making it really lovely with photos and nice backgrounds, pretty fonts, drop shadows, gradient fills - the works. And then - HORRORS - just when I get to the Hallel....my computer freezes. I'm not kidding. My MAC locks up! (never happens) I have to hit the big red button and - you guessed it - NONE OF MY WORK WAS SAVED!!!! Arrggghhh! Yeah, I never set up Time Machine so now I have to pick up with my last save tomorrow - Ur'chatz (hand-washing) - geez that's like page 3! Somebody shoot me....
