Got up and walked and had breakfast with my mom. Went home and fed Posh and did some Feng Shui. Leslie went to class at the hospital, and I cleaned the kitchen. Did some emailing and cleaned out the steps to the attic. There are all these half empty bottles of shampoo and face creams and I thought, what about combining them all and calling it “Tashian’s Elixer” ? A potent cure-all! Leslie got home and she was in the mood to go exploring, so we went to lunch at Jersey Mike’s and we split a #4, “Mike’s Way” with Jalapenos on half ($8.45). Then we went out to R.E.I and decided we’d like to take a bike trip sometime. They have a straggler’s van, if you get tired, but you really need to only use it as a last resort, or else it can become a crutch. Then we went to the Apple store and I watched a very nice demonstration video of the new imovie HD, produced by Frank Ockenfels? It really made me want to get a video camera, but I will have to wait for my birthday. Went home to check on Posh and she was happy to see us. We waited for Nicki for a while, then we all went to dinner at Las Cazuelas and I had the combination number 7. John Bruton called and said he was having one of his “Dingo Dance Parties” so, we all went by there, and Emily West was there and she’s so funny. So then everybody was dancing and I started fooling around with the smoke machine and everyone was coughing and it was ridiculous, but there were only about 5 people dancing, so I thought the smoke machine would make it feel more crowded, more “happening”. I had several tequilas ($18) but they didn’t have any effect on me because I was dancing so much. They played “Lifestyle” and it was embarrassing, but I sang along with it instead of acting shy or embarrassed of something. We went home and went to bed about 12:30.
