Yesterday was cold and blustery and, apparently, the most depressing day in January.

My plans this weekend:  Sleeping. Begging Mr. B to schlep to the city to take me to any of these places.  Finishing this book.    And you?

Let’s take a break from talking about OMGAsianMoms and do something fun.

I got back pretty from D.C. yesterday: pretty late, and pretty frazzled.  The reason behind this is that Mr. B and myself have, shall we say, I got back pretty from D.C. yesterday: pretty late, and pretty frazzled.  The reason behind this is that [Mr. B](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k64p1q0TlLE/SwgNspUnzeI/AAAAAAAAAQI/yxZ-yNHEqxM/s1600/PIGpenish.jpg) and [myself](http://www.imaginaryfriends.com/images/MonkFinale.jpg) have, shall we say, philosophies on what constitutes a clean space and I spent all weekend trying to reconcile who I am as a person with the fact that I could not see the floor in our apartment.  So, in lieu of a real post on important things such as whether or not to beat your kids into playing the piano or how my grandfather is unimpressed with my lamp-purchasing skills,  I present you with some snapshots.

Happy Friday. Check it out:

P.S. (It is P.S. if the P comes before the actual S?) If you’re stopping by because of the JTA 100, welcome. I write about my life which entails being Jewish, being Russian, being married to a Landau-type, economics, Nutella, international escapades, women, and sometimes Golda Meir. Here’s my last year in blog posts. Ch-ch-ch-eck it out.

Updated to include a VERY CUTE EXPLANATION of Twitter for those who don’t use it.

I just looked through my archives and realized I wrote some pretty great stuff in 2010. I even did the Photoshops!  But then it all somehow went wrong and by the end of the year I was an emo mess posting pictures of the full moon and Skype chats with Mr. B.  Here’s hoping 2011 finds us together again and that Mr. B brings the mojo I accidentally left behind in D.C. with him.

Do you like to engage in mindless consumerism like me? Are you also weird and international-y? Perhaps you might be interested in some of these offerings for your New Year celebration.  I know I would. Even more than I am interested in this gift list.

I have become one of Those People.  The Bluetooth people.

I’ve been at quite a few holiday parties over the past couple weeks (ok, two. I just wanted to sound socialetist) and every single time (since the majority of the people at the parties have been American) have had to explain how I’m Jewish and celebrate Haunkkah but at the same time, New Year’s is the really big holiday for me.  I wish I could just show them this blog post from last year explaining the whole Russian New Year situation.  Maybe I can make business cards about it?

Is it Friday for real? It seems like only yesterday it was July. Oh well.  I’ll just pretend.
