As a person with a complicated last name, I try to pronounce names correctly because I know how annoying it gets to hear your name butchered. As for Pete, no matter how many times I hear his last name correctly, I still read it as Boot-y-jedge.

Simply lovely, Maya. Thank you for posting this - it’s helping and affirming to more people than you know.

same to you!! xoxo

Haven’t been here in a while. It’s great to see you are still here and in good spirits.

Love back to you, Maya!  

May the coming year be worthy of the champagne drunk in its honor.

I’m right there with you on the loneliness. Thats why I got a cat but she’s being an asshole at the moment.

New kittens! They are six months old and very good boys. We’ve had them almost three weeks and they’re settling into our household very well overall. However, they seem to like me much more than my husband. I don’t know if it has something to do with his lower voice, or what. They’ll play with him, but are much less…

Bucky and I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year. May 2020 be kinder to us than 2019 was.

Happy New Year Maya; things are looking up, for you, I know it.

It’s a place to come to, to remind us all that there is still good in the world.  A wonderful bunch of supportive Jezzies.  May 2020 bring great things!

Happy New Year to you too, Maya! I wish you a better year and a better decade, and if the universe even gives you back a fraction of the positive energy you put into it, this should be a given. 

Happy New Year and much love to you, Maya, as well as all of our Jezebels and Jezebeaux out there. You have been my sanity in this all-kinds-of-fucked-up decade. May the next decade be better for us personally and our messed up world.

Thanks, Happy New Year and Better Must Come, Baby!

Wishing you all the best in the new year 💖

This holiday season has basically been a microcosm of my complicated and sad relationship with my family, and it was pretty instructive to me. There’s some sentimental, irrational part of me that wants a normal, loving family, even though they’re a pack of narcissists and enablers. I get some ray of hope that there…

I always look forward to the Saturday kitties. Happy New York Porkchop! And best of luck on your project!

It’s been a roller coaster of a year, and I can’t wait for it to be over.

I’m checking in to say the family will hold a memorial service for my cousin on January 4 and I hope I am well enough to attend. I wrote some words to appear in the program and I wept when I was done. He was my baby cousin. I remember giving him advice about college. I remember how he was a chatty six-year-old who woul…
