Still no word on a funeral for my friend (which is a great Elton John song by the way... which is terribly fitting as I remember only just this second sitting in her new MR2 at the dealership listening to it on a cd... weird). I don't know if her family is going to have one at this point. Probably not. Which is really ok I have to say. It sounds really weird but I don't really want to have to go and deal with funeral business right now. My Uncle just was buried a week and a half ago and seriously...not so much right now.

Came home and little Herschel found the t-bone I had put out for him all on his very own, pulled it off the counter and worked on it all day today. I came home and he was so proud of himself and bouncing off the walls with pride. It was absolutely precious. I am a complete sucker for bad behaviour I guess.

Got the house clean tonite in order to avoid reading that stupid book. I am so full of excuses and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that I shouldn't just move right on to the next thing already. But cleaning is cathartic and it was just what I needed. I so love the process of vacuming that I went over my carpets for about a 1/2 hour tonite. They aren't pristine clean but there is no dust in my padding let me tell you. I like the patterns, I like the nature of it, really I do.

Things other than that are pretty blase'. It has been raining since like noon today and its a little gloomy I have to say. I was going to go out for dinner, someplace that I normally wouldn't go with family, and once I walked in the door changed my mind. I almost made a reservation at Fruition for 8:30 but I am glad that I didn't because I would have cancelled and 8:30 is just a little too late to have that nice of a meal. So... maybe tommorrow night since I have the night off from regular dining out, might just treat myself big time. I want to go out for sure tommorrow night and eat something fabu. Need to pick a place, call and see about reservations and just go. I haven't had sushi in forever so I might actually go to Hapa I will have to see what I am craving but someplace with a spectacular salad and great entree really would tickle my fancy big time. I have a friend that wanted me to go to some fundraiser tonite, but not in the mood to get suckered into a silent auction for an item that I really don't want or need. Better to spend the money on a great dining experience. I can write a check to the charity on my own terms.

I also got invited to a political fundraiser today. I was a little put off at first but then realized I need to go and support the candidate. I like this guy alot on a personal level but don't have a clue what his actual politics are. It then dawned on me... I got so whiggie about the whole thing because of my daily dealings with politcal fundraisers a year ago, it stirred up this really icky feeling, but I know why and that is good. So I will go, support my friend and get over it.

When I went to Arizona I had to go and buy a small travel size shampoo. I bought this Herbal Essences stuff because its all they had and fell in love. Tonite I realized I really am ok with the cheapo shampoos. They smell good and they work well. I used to use this Redken stuff and really it just frizzed out my hair (which isn't good on a Jewish girl), but this stuff is great, and my hair smells yummy. Not fruity I want to eat it, but nice and not bubblegum strawberry kiddie shampoo nice. I don't know what I am even typing right now since all I want to do is climb into bed and finish that lame book but don't want to at the same time. Man I am a terrible staller at its 11:30, I better publish and get on with it.
