The weekend...

aribAll told, had a fairly nice time.
Elana's got a really nice family, who were wonderful hosts and good cooks. (and with the extended family she's got, Hyim's gonna need to stay on his toes keeping names straight...)
They're all the opposite of her.
By which I mean friendly and outgoing, two things she isn't. I felt like I should have introduced myself to her at the L'chaim or something.
"Hi, I'm Ari, Hyim's older brother. Y'know, one of the five people you ignored whenever you came to visit him at his folks' house..."
Honestly, the fact that he loves her as much as he does is a definite mitigating factor, but I'm afraid her severe reticence around all of us is gonna drive a wedge.
Surprisingly managed to be non-morose through 99 percent of the weekend, am quite proud. Also grateful that only one person (a great-uncle of Elana's) did the whole "So, you're older, why aren't you married yet?" bit.
Ran into an old neighbor from YU, took a while before I remembered his name, but was nice to network again.
and I need to start exercising now so I can be in shape for all the dancing, workout ideas, anyone?
