BALEBOOSTEH

My mother in law just left, she came over for a couple of hours.
She gave me a nice bouquet with pink and yellow flowers,
just the way I like it.
I made dinner and chocolate cake for dessert and she gave
me the best compliment a Jewish mother in law could ever give,
she told me I'm a real
Baleboosteh.
(It's Yiddish and means
praise-worthy housewife.)
She always tells me that the house is so nice, clean and cosy.
Note that I'm talking about a stubborn Jewish lady that used
to think that no one was good enough for her son.
(Maybe because the others wasn't genuine and/or Jewish?)

I'm a bit annoyed because Tradera isn't working properly.
I wanted to put some more stuff up but I guess I have to wait
till tomorrow. *sigh*

Instead I'm listening to Monica Zetterlund and Ulla Billquist
while I'm hunting for cheap CD's on
eBay.


Dolled up in my new dress and the yellow necklace I got earlier today...

What else she could have said? You look so darling in that bow dress! (The two of us with blue and white bows... )

you look so good in that dress! and i just love hearing (or reading) jiddish words, they sound so nice. glad your mother in law likes you, there's nothing worse than the mother of your man not liking you.

Oh Monica, Monica Zetterlund. She's one reason to be proud of Sweden! I love her.
