In Which I Am Almost A Bat Mitzvah

My Bat Mitzvah is tomorrow! So is my 13th birthday, and I've only gotten one birthday card. It's only slightly offensive.

I'm not nervous yet, which is kind of disturbing. I mean, my Bat Mitzvah is tomorrow and I have been sleeping well and everything! Not a single butterfly in my stomach! That's what I find unsettling.

But still, my birthday is tomorrow! I'm 4748/4749 of a teenager. (Stop looking so impressed. I used a date calculator to find that number.

So, wish me happy birthday, good luck, and mazel tov! Buh-bye, now!

C'est Mon Anniversaire!

That's French for "It's my birthday!" Which it is!  I'm finally 12!

It doesn't feel very different from being 11, but I'm really excited.  Tonight my mom and Big Pain are going out for fondue.  I'm excited because I haven't been out for fondue in a while.

My Bat Mitzvah day is exactly a year from today: January 5, 2013. I'm kind of scared. 365 days isn't very long, in the long run.

Wow, we're already 5 days into 2012.  This is a great year!

What's This?

Yes, you may be saying that.

This is a countdown to my Bat Mitzvah. (Visit my mom's blog if you don't know what a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is.)

Yes, we got the date for my Bat Mitzvah today! And, the coolest thing is, it falls exactly on my 13th birthday! That's possible because my birthday will be on a Saturday. Isn't that great? I know, I'm only nine, almost ten, but we need to know.

Oh, speaking of grandmas, here's what mine said today:

Me: "Hi Grandma!"

Her: "Hello!"

Me: "How're ya doin?"

Her: "Fine."

Me: "Grandma, guess what!"

Her: "What?"

Me: "My Bat Mitzvah is on January 5, 2013!"

Her: "That's great! Let me go write that down."

At this point, I repeated this to Ms. Witty and Big Pain, who, of course, burst out laughing.

My grandma's so organized, she has a checklist for cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

I love her!

Aren't you so happy for me?
