Last week I emailed the person I know at Hillel about leading Conservative services on Friday nights once a month. They don’t get a lot of people for services, but they also only have Reform. I remember going there for Rosh Hashannah 1st evening and seeing a few people who seemed like they would have liked a little bit more traditional service.

But, I mean, if there is no demand for it then maybe it wouldn’t matter. I’m thinking that maybe I should just start going to Hillel dinners once a month and lead birkat, and then try and get some of those people to come earlier for a Conservative minyan. But I don’t know if I am willing to go through all of that effort (haha), because I am already doing so much weekend stuff with my job and I like having Friday evenings for Shabbat dinner with my boyfriend. We’ll see. I also don’t want to do it alone (and I have a feeling I would be).

In other news… I went to the thrift store today! I have such good luck at this store, although I have to troll around it for a while before I find the really good stuff.

My new behbeh:

It was a little more than I wanted to pay for a piece of furniture, but it is so pretty. I’m talking about the buffet. (That’s Lilly hiding underneath) But I did get the chair at the same thrift store a few months ago.

I am decorating slowly. My new roommate is bringing some furniture so we will have to rearrange… I hope it goes together well. It’s not that I’m obsessed, it’s just that I like my apartment to look nice so I feel relaxed when I’m at home. I remember that apartment in college that was a hodge-podge of mismatched, craptacular furniture, remember never wanting to be in the living room or have people over because it was blech. Not that we often had people over anyway, but whatever.

My living room is pretty bare without my old roommate’s furniture. I still don’t have a coffee table.
