A good man, warm, kind, loving
The best of all things!
I love you Scooter

Haikus for Jews
Raabi called today
Are you converting or what?
Will Scott be happy?
Scott and I are getting married in October. At least we want to if we can find someone to marry us. Scott's Jewish and I'm a very very lapsed Catholic turned Baptist turned whatever. I don't want to be married by a justice of the peace, it seems "less official". Maybe that's the itty bitty piece of Catholic that I have left talking but that's how I feel. I want to be married by a religious figure of some variety. I've looked into converting to Judaism but it feels a little weird. How do you go from being one thing your whole life to being something else so suddenly and officially? How do you give up your beliefs and traditions (even if you didn't really believe in all of it)? Scott says he doesn't care what I do but I know deep down he does and I don't blame him. Don't you want your children to know "what" they are? If I become Jewish I will be doing it for all the wrong reasons but it will make Scott and his family happy. On the otherhand I will feel like I belong more than if I didn't convert. Is religion that important to me? Not really. But it seems weird to just jump on a different team when I never really cared about playing the game, even if that other teams wants me there.
Has anyone else out there been through this? Advice please!

Haikus for you
So I decided that it's too much work to actually blog everyday. I'm not a very good writer - no elloquence or catchy turns of phrase. Instead, I've decided to write daily haikus. Poems with 3 lines - the first has 5 lines, the 2nd has 7, and the last has 5. Here goes-
Watched clocks tick slowly,
Wonders how it came to be,
How can she fix this?
