About Me

I edited my profile at LayoutSource.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Happy, silly, smart, slacker, funny, ambitious, crabby, liberal, nice. Prone to chapped lips. More indie than trixie(okay, very little trixie) but I'm starting to feel all maternal toward the young hipsters when I go to shows (awww, how cute! He's expressing his individuality!). My index fingers curve toward my middle fingers. Not as severly as my moms do, and less so than her dad's did (he blamed it on baseball, but my mom and me?) I like to bake AND cook (like being both left and right brained, but more delicious).I like friendster better than this site. Fewer flashing things. I'm showing my age in strange ways. Aversion to flashing things, can't always get off the floor after yoga... gray hair in my eyebrow.

My Interests

Fiction, non-fiction, liberal politics, my pet parrot, vegetarian cookin and eatin, pilates and yoga. Spending my paycheck on fashion bargains. Biking, capitalizing erratically, wondering where all the cute Jewish indie-rocker boys live, Squishing my new niece! , Attending summer concerts in Chicago (somehow I've got tickets for three weekend-long festivals already and I'm still wearing a coat to work), Pretending to know what I'm talking about.

My Blog

Option overload

Today I realized I've opened 4 different blog accounts.  Never really paid attention to the fact that if I pick ONE and focus, hmmm - voila - resource!  Intead, I've got dribs and drabs of c...

To blog?

Years ago I kept a journal - it's supposed to be what all cultured people do - work on writing skills, note insights, happenings and turmoil...  then nothing happened.  Nothing worth writing...

I'm not such a blogger

but I'm bored at work today and trying to clean up loose ends. Mental ends are included. I can't remember if every year is like this or not, but Passover is the topic du jour in my personal conversa...
