Friday
Went to Nine West at LA’s biggest tourist trap Hollywood and Highland to get a price adjustment on these boots that went on sale the week after I bought them. They are really cute and oh-so-comfortable! And they’re not at all shiny and ugly like they look in the picture, they’re just regular leather. I’m not sure what the deal is with that. Also while at H&H, I picked up a BBQ chicken chop salad from CPK. Not that you care. Then I came home and started to catch up on my TiVo but got interrupted by the phone every two minutes. Oh well, at least I tried.

Saturday
Headed out to the Valley for a day of pampering. I got my eyebrows, toes, and nails done, and my nails are finally long enough (thanks to the iron supplements perhaps?) to put color (I’m Not Really a Waitress by OPI of course) on them without looking stupid. I was also feeling brave and cut a couple more inches off my hair and went a little darker. That makes a grand total of seven inches chopped in the past couple months! I’m still shocked.

Saturday night was my date with the guy I met at the Sukkot dinner. I’m sorry there are no juicy details to share, so this is what I have: He’s nice. An almost three hour long dinner at a delicious Indian restaurant was lovely. Conversation flowed well. As did the wine. In fact, the waiter kept refilling my glass and pointing at my date and smiling. I had well over three glasses and was feeling quite, um, dizzy. Anyway, he’s a great guy (I know, kiss of death), just not for me. The spark or chemistry or whatever you want to call it wasn’t there, and I feel like his level of observance (he is shomer shabbas) is just too much for me.

Sunday
I finally got to sleep in then along with the rest of Hollywood, hit Target where I bumped into a pregnant family friend and discussed maternity clothing (don’t ask me why I know so much about them, I guess having friends with kids teaches you that stuff?) then stocked up on on the essentials, like Teddy Grahams and eye makeup remover.

That night I brought Annabel Lee with me to a Big Brothers Big Sisters shindig for all the Bigs and prospective Bigs (read: all adults. no kids. lotsa alcohol.) at The Belmont. I went to the event thinking that for once, the odds were in my favor–there are only a couple dozen Big Sisters and more than 100 Big Brothers. Well, there were a bunch of guys, just no one that really caught my eye. But–two hours after warning Annabel Lee about getting recognized from Jdate, a fellow Big told her she looked familiar. Yep, you guessed it, from Jdate. It was a fun night, and it was nice to catch up with some Bigs I don’t get to see very often.

Now I’m home and going to try catch up on emails and TiVo. I feel like I need a vacation following my vacation.
