WE LEAVE FOR L.A. IN SIX WEEKS
Wow. We leave in six weeks and we have no money saved. Because I am in a “I can’t care too much or else I get acid-reflux stage,” I’m pretty laid back about it, and I know we will figure things out. I mean, we have some money coming from pay and security deposit and [...]
I ADMIT THAT I CHECK MY EX-BOYFRIEND’S BLOG
There is always one that you still, still care about and they still, still don’t care about you. Yes, the one that I wrote a note like, “Hey, I’m moving to LA, and I just want to wish you the best…blah, blah.” And they never write back, and you check out their blog, hoping to [...]
IMMACULATE CONSUMPTION
I shouldn’t be allowed to buy a pint of anything, or super size anything, cause I cannot not finish something. My friend once told me that she never buys a pint of ice-cream, even a healthy non-fat frozen yogurt, ’cause she and her husband will finish it in one night. So they don’t buy it. [...]
WICKED PSYCHED TO MOVE TO L.A.
Maybe I’m not so reluctant after all. I think all the months of anxiety, fear and restlessness with money worries have passed and I am really ready to move. I’m ready to leave NYC and see somethin‘ else. I’m excited to be in a different environment. My perspective constantly shifts. When I go for long [...]
IS THE PERSONAL, ART?
Should I have told people about the blog? I think so. It’s my first ounce of “I don’t care what people think” since I got married, and it’s a tad scary, but feels fine. However, my sister hates it. She thinks the writing is somewhat amusing, but wants the picture above taken down. The picture that [...]
MORE ON “BIG RED GUM”
Hi Folks! Five minutes after I posted my last posting regarding Big Red, I squelched my desire to buy cinnamon gum with the SAME ingredients sold at Starbucks where I am presently writing. Wow…times are a-changin‘ and maybe, just maybe I can kick this habit! If only there were no Korean or Muslim deli’s in [...]
ODE TO BIG RED GUM. (WHY ARE YOU SO BAD FOR ME?)
Folks, I have a problem. A gum problem. A Big, Red Problem. My husband told me it’s either him or the gum. Well, he didn’t, but my dentist did. That’s right. I told my dentist that I chewed this kind of gum…after he prodded me for the truth, and he started hysterically laughing. My 50+ [...]
CUPCAKES AND DEATH (ANXIETY ATTACKS AFTER MARRIAGE)
Last night was the pits. I had such a bad anxiety attack. It wasn’t even an attack; it was more of a two-hour shower of small panic-storms that plagued me all night. I was bitten by a mosquito and scared I was going to die of the West Nile disease that’s going around NYC. It [...]
PLEASE LET ME SURVIVE THIS MOSQUITO BITE!
(I’m dead serious about this) Please let me survive this mosquito bite. The bite that I got at around 5:45pm/6pm in Brooklyn yesterday while sitting outside a ritzy food-shop in Park Slope. Please let me survive it!!!!!!!!!!!???????? I’ve been out of work for the past 3-ish weeks, and I have the propensity to hit Google, [...]
“ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP YOUR NAME?”
“What is your name?” a friend of my father’s asked me on Nantasket Beach. My father knows every third person on that beach. It’s like “Jewish Geography,” he says. They are all from the Boston surrounding towns. “My name is ‘Jamie Sneider.’” I answer. “Yes, but what’s your name going to be in L.A.?” she [...]
EMBRACING THE NEGATIVE
I just quit therapy. Well…I didn’t have the money because I quit my fucking job at Pfizer. I went into my bosses office whom I THOUGHT had a good sense of humor, and I said, “I thought of something funny….” I mean things weren’t going so well at Pfizer and it was up-in-the-air whether they had [...]
THE LAST TIME WE HAD SEX. (From Jewcy.com)
The last time my husband and I had sex after we separated, I wore a Chai pendant necklace and he had on a Saint-somebody necklace. We were doing it missionary-style and his Saint was dangling next to my Chai. I didn’t want to point out the ridiculousness of our new necklaces, and the fact that [...]
