To save time, I read the sefer in English instead of Hebrew.  Hopefully it won't hold me back.  (&lt;em&gt;Yud Elul&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 2:&lt;/strong&gt; It seems to be taking me about 30 minutes to whip through the &lt;em&gt;sefer&lt;/em&gt;, which isn't too shabby.  I got a few kisses on my right paw this afternoon . . . all delivered by a seven year old girl.  Well, at least someone loves me.  She asked if she can be flower-girl at my wedding.  I'm going to take that as &lt;em&gt;navuah&lt;/em&gt; on her part.  (&lt;em&gt;Tes Elul&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Recited the eight &lt;em&gt;perakim&lt;/em&gt; with little difficulty.  Ate the evening &lt;em&gt;seuda&lt;/em&gt; by a lovely couple who also hosted three (eligible) male guests.  None proposed.  Perhaps my lipstick was smudged?  A sizable posse of men attempted flirting with me as I walked home.  I guess the lipstick wasn't holding me back that much after all.
