This Weekend, in Bulletpoints

• My phone's Home button ceased working on Friday afternoon. This does not make me happy.
  
• Quiet Friday night, with girls going down to bed and then mabfan and I following suit not long thereafter.
  
• Saturday morning at Minyan Kol Rinah.
  
• Haftarah went smoothly. Note: the question, "Did you learn the right haftarah" should be asked earlier than while the Torah is being walked around the room before the Torah reading starts (I had); telling me that we're running late and therefore I should read quickly will *not* be appreciated when it's a long haftarah with complicated words and cantillation in parts.
  
• Lunch for 14 (9 adults and 5 kids) became lunch for 15 with the last-minute invitation extended during kiddush to friend who was at the minyan.
  
• Despite extra folks coming to eat, I still have tons of leftovers, again demonstrating that I default "cook for more than just the family" to "cook for a large army."
  
• Weathered the odd weather fine. lcmlc and Abba lost power right before they did Havdalah and still don't have power (they're staying with a friend with power in the interim). Rain didn't start until right as we were starting lunch, and though our guests walked home in the rain, it still wasn't too disgusting.
  
• Muffin and Squeaker woke us (well, Squeaker, followed by her waking Muffin) at 5:20 AM on Sunday morning. So we went into Sunday sleepy.
  
• Spent part of Sunday at our shul's annual yard sale. Girlies came home with new stuffed friends.
  
• mabfan ill in the evening after girls went to sleep.
  
• I did some laundry Sunday night; clean socks are a Very Good Thing.
  
• Nose decided life wasn't interesting enough and stuffed itself up. Throat colluded with nose, and now I am drinking many cups of warm drink.
