went shopping with mom this afternoon, I've finally got some dress shoes. I don't like shopping for dress shoes. It's next to impossible for me, because...1- I don't wear leather unless forced, 2- I don't wear heels unless forced, and 3- I have fat feet and dress shoe companies seem to enjoy boycotting people with fat feet. I ended up having to get one pair that were in fact leather, which saddens me...but the other pair is not.
Also went to petsmart and got two more hermit crabs. Their names are Moofus and Splodge. I hope their presence will encourage Mallow to unbury himself from wherever he buried himself in the tank, if he has not died by now, which he very well may have. I love my hermit crabs. It may be childish and insane, but I really do.

art auction at the synagogue tonight...me Josh Sarah Jillian and Joe all went as youth group to help out, I brought Phil as well...good thing I did because he was the only one who figured out a logical way to move all the paintings and such around...it was our job to move the paintings from on display in the social hall, to a bunch of chairs set up off to the side of the sanctuary, to the table on the bimah. Where Josh or Joe put them up on an easel one at a time. Twas not fun. Twas very hectic and frusterating. Not too sure I'm gonna go next year.

Josh: Stop it you two! Look, seriously, you can pick one of the rooms down there and do whatever the hell you want, but no kissing in the social hall!



my great aunt Tsippy died tonight. I feel like I should be more sad. I didn't know her that well, but I've seen her on several occasions and she's one of the few members of my extended family that I actually remember by name and by face. So that means I liked her. When my dad told me and Joe I was just like "Oh. That's sad." but I'm not really upset or anything which makes me feel like a horrible person. I just didn't know her that well...
