Sooper sekrit because it’s NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE or at least isn’t easily found on the Google, and it has to do with one of those things I love (boots), and because I totally want to do it. And don’t currently have the time to do it, but WILL be able to make the time once I…sigh…have this new job priority sorted out.

My most-cheered Thing To Do, and it still hasn’t happened. It’s coming on five years since I saw one. My doctor took a peak at my teeth last time I went for a checkup (when I commented on my concern that I might have a cavity) and said there was nothing immediately apparent beyond some standard plaque buildup. Woo hoo, the back burner of can’t afford this crap yet (or at least till it’s more painful than expensive, and right now it’s rarely and slightly painful).

I know the letters and some bits of words and grammar from hebrew school back in The Day, but I’m finally cracking books to learn this stuff. A friend’s getting ready to apply for her masters in religions so she needs to learn it too—technically she needs ancient Hebrew but generally it seems you learn that through modern, and I want to learn both anyway since I’m primarily learning this to, uh, read Tanakh without having to juggle translations (or at least only in having to rely on my own). I’m having lots of fun settling back in to the words, and I’m surprising myself with how comfortably I’m able to read without vowels and wondering how my friend’s handling it as she’s largely new to the language.
