What a busy weekend! I helped a client in Accokeek, MD redesign her dining and living rooms on Saturday and manned a booth at the “Celebrating the Jewish Woman” event at the Hilton in Silver Spring, MD today. This was a small event hosted by Chabad of Silver Spring with a handful vendors (well, maybe a handful and a half), including an acupuncturist who offered mini sessions. There was also someone there “plucking” the women’s eyebrows with thread! I, of course, doled out tips on how to organize various areas of their homes and cars, and the Arbonne (skin care) representative turned out to be a former professional organizer. Small world, huh?

The entire event culminated in a very tasty lunch and a keynote entitled “From Showbiz to Shabbat” by former NBC producer, Molly Resnick, who had us all in stitches. This was really a celebration of Jewish women and their heritage, and it seemed that everyone had a good time. When you think about it, any woman would enjoy an event focused completely on her well being and that provided great food, no? It’s definitely a great concept. So, if there’s anyone out there who wants me to help them organize an “I’m Every Woman” event, call me! =)

Now, this far surpasses the way I started my weekend. I saw Watchmen, a very strange movie where the super heroes are, well, strange. One might argue that these types of characters are odd by nature but this was a little too odd for me, especially the blue guy who walked around sans clothing for 90% of the movie. =/ What happened to the days of “regular” super heroes like Superwoman? …thought I was gonna say SuperMAN, didn’t ya? =)

Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
