#IAmYourVillage

Here’s the thing…I don’t usually participate in these these social media fads. I’m not worried that if I don’t share than I’ll be plagued by a million years of doom. Sometimes, though, when particular people tag you that DON’T typically do that, you take a closer look. I got tagged on Instagram by my long […]

My Wonky-Donky Stars

They say reach for the stars. I get it. You definitely should. What happens though, when the stars are from the wrong era. Or they are extra wonky-donkey stars? Right, that probably only happens if you’re me. I don’t have a bucket list because I never made one. There isn’t anything I can think of […]

I didn’t mean to mislead anyone…

I have to come clean about something. Early last year I took my daughter to Drag Brunch at Tortilla Press Cantina. The hostess of this brunch is the Crazy Cat Lady of Drag, Astala Vista. Inspired by her look at the first brunch I took her to, I found a cat sweatshirt at Target and […]

Drag Foster Mom

As you may know from a previous post, when I love something YOU WILL KNOW. Sometimes my love is fast and furious like my yogurt and sometimes it fades in and out like my knitting. Drag, as I’ve told you, that’s here to stay. I like to bring people to brunch so they can test […]

Why I Joined The Team to End AIDS

It was race day and I walked into a room of people I had briefly met once. It was so early in the morning that it was still dark. I was wearing a shirt that was covered in rhinestones that, I like to think, sparkled under fluorescent lights of the gym. I braided hair of […]

Wait, WHAT?

March 7, 2012: Approximately 9:15 am My sister in law was due with my nephew and we were one the phone because she was off from work. She was describing some pregnancy related aches and, after having had two kids, I said it definitely sounded like early labor. She had a doctors appointment later that […]

Beyond

As I’ve mentioned, I’m Jewish, emphasis on the “ish”. I’ve tried to make myself a full believer but, if I am to believe that the Bible is true, I have to believe everything in it and there are many things I cannot wrap my head around. I fully respect religion, and am almost envious when […]

Drag Deal

It was a last-minute deal. I got the shipment on Wednesday and I set to work. Fast forward to this morning. In the chaos of getting the kids ready for the school fair I was able to quietly wrap the product, stash it in a shoebox, and put it into a plastic bag so no […]

But It’s Only a Cat

It’s been a whirlwind of a past few weeks. Since the end of January we lost our cat, vacationed in Mexico and adopted two kittens. All the things we did were done for the right reason. Lucy had lived a full life, our trip to Mexico was a much needed break, and the kittens were […]

You Are My Favorite

A few years ago we spent Valentines Day in Mexico visiting my parents where they spend parts of their winters. As many of you may know I’m a tea drinker. I’m rather particular but not fancy. I carry my own bags of PG Tips tea around with me in teeny tiny little Tupperware containers so […]
