Maltese - not breed standard with puppy cut, kinky/curly hair, and general ragamuffin status. The marshmallow is loved, loved, loved, and rocks the Pooh socks from Grandma.

You better rub that belly or else!

Malteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese

Grandma: “You know, the military pays for nose jobs...”

Mom: “You are only beautiful because of me.” ...

Sigh... what is it about this religion? My dad was in the seminary for years and became nuts from it to the point that he thinks the Devil is around him. I was sent to Catholic school, where I was scheduled to get “spanked” by the nun because I helped my friend with her math assignment when she was stuck. My mother…

80F in Miami today.... (waits for tomatoes to be thrown at her)

...bitches.

I stick to my rabbi-approved recipe of hamentaschen with tiny hints of lemon peel in the dough, and the filling either raspberry or apricot jam.

A decent population of the Jews I know in Miami are Venezuelan, Colombian, Cuban, Argentinian, Spanish, Mexican, etc. Judaism is a religion, folks! Not a a race!

My coworker, a non-practicing Jew with an Italian-sounding last name, actually had the chutzpah to tell me #3 - "Really, you don't look Jewish at all. Are you sure you're Jewish?" on several occasions. Ugh! Judaism is a religion, not a race. I'm so annoyed that I'm going to go drink some champagne in the shower and…

All rants aside, I met David LaC and Amanda Lepore at a dinner for his gallery showing in NYC. Amanda "performed" at the dinner by running out on stage, unzipping her dress and stepping out of it, completely naked, and then ran off the stage. David's ex boyfriend, a ballerina, did a dance on stage for all of us. I…

Ugh. I can't even listen to Kourtney and make it through ten seconds of the video. Every word out of her mouth sounds so lazy, like it takes all the effort in the world and every single bone in her body just to get a sentence out of her mouth, and she could care less. RAGE!

Some highs, some lows, but if anything, I've finally reached the point where I have a good idea of who I am. And I'm still in my early 30's. The times change and you just have to adapt the best you can. <3

That's encouraging for me to get back into dancing as a hobby. As the tallest person in the class the teacher would zoom in on me and pick on me more than the others (or maybe that was just in my mind) so I stopped going. So thank you! And I hope your toenail gets better soon!

I'm a 5'11 woman who trips while walking UP a flight of stairs, so I can only dream of being graceful... :) I kinda miss that about living in NYC... all the talented and interesting people I interacted with daily. I'm still in touch with a lot of them on FB, but it's just not the same as being there.

That's amazing! We had to learn it as part of our 6th grade music class. It really is a cute instrument. Do you close your eyes and pretend you're on a Hawaiian beach when you play?

Hello hello. I just want to say that I know exactly what you're going through - as I approached my 30th birthday I felt the same way. :\

And with your real name? Chutzpah! <3

I'm not sure if my comment fits on this thread, but after many years of missing it, have finally decided to pull the trigger and move cross-country back to the Pacific Northwest where I grew up. I'm nervous because I don't have a ton of savings at the moment since I've been paying down a ton of my credit card debt,…
