THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TAKING A CHANCE
Four months ago my boyfriend’s sister said to me, with the force, accuracy and aim of a marksman, “You’re stuck in the past. That’s your problem.” We didn’t know each other that well and I was a bit taken aback. Given that she had just recently met me, a tiny voice in me muttered, “No, [...]
LET’S TALK ABOUT GIRLY THINGS!!!
I don’t know why “girly things” makes me think of frilly underwear, but it does. I mean, doesn’t the phrase “frilly, lacy panties” make you want to cream your pants? (Okay, I’m on vacation and I may be losing my mind.) Today I want to write about “girly things.” I am a girl and sometimes [...]
TOP 10 PERIOD FOODS (X-RATED VERSION)
I just microwaved a plate of pretzels covered with string cheese and bananas. Am I high? No, I have my period. A plate of pretzels, melted banana with cheese plus a can Diet Rite and you got the perfect combination of salt, fat and sweet. You may be thinking: “That’s disgusting,” or, “Jamie sounds like white [...]
I’M NOT SURE WHICH SEX BOOK TO READ
Should I HAVE sex every day for one year, or STOP having sex for one year? I’m SO confused! Hephzibah Anderson (remind me not name my daughter that) wrote a book titled “Chastened,” about her year without sex. I could have done that — it’s basically called being single and hard-up. Now, I didn’t read [...]
I’M OVULATING AND OVERHEATING
Did think you’d ever see the above pictures next to each other? Well, that’s how I feel. I’m either going to get pregnant or pass out. It’s 104 degrees in the Valley of Los Angeles and I’m ovulating. I must be hallucinating, but I’ve had thoughts of getting pregnant and bouts of nausea from the [...]
MOVING IN TOGETHER. HOLY SHIT.
I connote marriage with being stuck and freedom with being single – having a studio apartment or one-bedroom (maybe not a one-bedroom so you don’t feel that lonely) and living in a metropolis. I’m about to move in with my boyfriend of um…. 3 months. I know what you’re thinking. Though I love soliciting opinions [...]
WHAT IS SEXY? LET’S TALK LINGERIE.
I have no idea why I am writing about this. I’m sitting at my desk trying to think of something really deep to kvetch about, but all I can think about is lingerie. Jeeshus. Well, let’s explore. What is sexy? Since I don’t have a team of writers, I will tell you about what I [...]
“BABY” IS A DIRTY WORD
I have rewritten this post three times. I’m starting over again. I have this feeling that I have never had before. Maybe it’s boredom, stagnancy in my projects…I don’t know. I’ve had friends, many friends, who have had this feeling and I’ve just nodded and assured, “One day, that will come.” Now, I find this [...]
LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FUN AND GIRLY!
Enough with all this depressive shit like heartbreak, confusion and bouts of loneliness. Things are lookin’ up in the world and I’m ready to embrace some really great things…like underwear. I start a new job in a week, so I’ve been spending my days doing freelance work and enjoying a bit of freedom. Today I [...]
RELUCTANT NEEDS TO CLEAN UP HER ACT. SHE’S STARTING WITH ANN TAYLOR.
Dear God, Please forgive me for my sins. I know Jews don’t believe in sinning and confessing (I think). Regardless, I have sinned. I write a very dirty blog (this one) and it needs to stop. I need to grow up and become a functioning adult. Oh god, as I write this I feel like [...]
FRENCH FOOD AND MY MOTHER
In four days, I leave Los Angeles for Lyon, France. I can’t believe it. I promised that I would blog everyday until the trip is over. Let’s see if I can do it. So, with that promise, comes “the writing” before I leave. Even if it’s shit, dribble, lists of stuff I have to do, [...]
OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS AND ME
“I think I want to go to Overeaters Anonymous,” I said to my therapist today. We had a lull in our session, and I was searching for issues to talk about. “Why?” she asked. “I don’t know. I overeat.” “They’d laugh you out,” she said. “Why?” “You’re not overweight. You’re not fat.” “You don’t have [...]
