Lesbian Shul or the 217 Dollar Deal

so, yesterday becky and i made it official and finally joined lesbian shul. i know, i know. we're very excited, too.








there is a lot i want to convey about lesbian shul, but first i think i should give you a brief history (well, MY brief history) with them.





i first found cbst when i was researching shuls that don't charge non-members for high holiday services. i think it's completely ridiculous that places charge for its holy days. do you see the easter bunny charging to let people in churches for christmas day or whatever?





not usually.





anyway, that was the first time i went, and it was awesome. everyone was so welcoming and great, plus we sat in the balcony and it felt like we were at the opera, except i wasn't that bored.





so, then becky and i started going. and i love it. love, love, love the way the tree in the last unicorn loves schmendrick the magician.





but none of this is my point.





also not my point, but here it is anyway, is this little fact...



FACT: my friend sarah, who is visiting from chicago felt that it is pertinent for her to be mentioned in my blog. apparently it wasn't enough that i cut her out of the picture where i am hugging a bag of sugar.





and since she may or may not be a lesbian, she thought that this post would make sense for her to be in. as far as i know, she's never been to lesbian shul, so i don't know how she thinks she can be a lesbian. that's the way one determines if one is in fact a lesbian. but whatever. (hi sarah!)


so, yesterday, we sent in our payment for the 08-09 shul-year, and it was actually a bargain, coming out to $217.50 each. that's chump change for a year long shul membership.







so i've decided that from now on, i won't spend more than $217.50 on anything. Ever.





my rent will now be paid in monthly increments of $217.50





all major purchases will not exceed $217.50





if i need to fly somewhere, my ticket must be less than $217.50





every blog entry that i write will now be posted at 2:17 and 50 seconds





and, like many things in life, it is all thanks to lesbian shul.
