Erev Shabbos #14- Ahh....

Well, thank G-d I'm exactly where I should be in Pesach cleaning. Which is a good thing.
Yesterday, I had an interesting experience that I will post about soon...

Now, is peace and preparing for Shabbos. It's like that breath of fresh air after a long day, or the cleansing feeling after a rainstorm. My apartment may smell of bleach, but that lemony scent is what makes it all the more relaxing. I can go into Shabbos not worried or frazzled, but calm and content.

Ever noticed how no matter what time Shabbos is at, there is always a rush to get ready on time? It's as if our brains calculate exactly how much time is needed depending on which time Shabbos starts at! Well, this Shabbos I'm determined not to rush or be impatient. And, I'll breath a sigh of contentment as I usher in the Shabbos Queen.

So Gut Shabbos everyone!

i hate the last minute rush. but it happens every erev shabbos and yom tov. i wish we could just manage to get everything ready on time without the rush.

Tembow- it can be done without the rush- but it requires tons of advance planning. There are some Shabbosim where I pull out 2 kugels from my freezer, defrost one of my fish dishes that I made by triplicate, and just make the rest fairly quickly.
