kipot, boy, nervous, crazy day

I crochet. I mostly make kippas. Those are head-coverings that Jewish guys wear. There are different styles. Check out this funny site for pictures.

I had a telemarketing job a couple of months ago. I was sitting with my headset up, crocheting. This guy saw and wanted to pay me to crochet him a kippa. I said for sure. But then I quit my job so it took us a really long time till we actually met up.

Yesterday, finally we met. We actually met by the shuk of Jerusalem. It's an open market full of character.

Hmmm, I thought, this boy is a little cute. He bought me fresh carrot and apple juice (the guy makes in on the spot). We walked around a bit cause he had to take out money and then he had to break a bill in order to pay me. That's when he bought us juice.

Afterwards I smsed him to thank him for the juice and tell him I was really happy he liked the kippa. He smsed me back asking me if maybe we could get together before I leave. I said, sure and that he should call me when he wants to meet.

I'm complimented he asked to meet me. I put the ball back in his court because that's how I want to do it. If he really wants to meet me, he'll have to call me. I sort of hope he calls cause though I don't see big things developing from this, I feel like meeting him.

We'll see if he calls!

Nervous... Today I'm a little nervous. Because I have all these things I need to do and this evening is Independence Day. That's Israel for you. We have the sad day right next to the happy day. Actually, that's Judaism. Anyway, today I need to go to a government office. I need to visit this woman I volunteer with. I need to meet this girl to talk about my trip and I need to wait at home for my computer tech to bring me back my computer.

I can't figure out how all these things fit together and it makes me nervous because I want/need to do all these things.

Crazy day.

Oh, I also need to help my mom cause we're having a BBQ tonight for which we need to prepare.
