    What I love most about the blogging world is the chance to live inside out and discovering all these crazy creative writers who are so willing to share. Beautifully documented! And damn, gonna book my trip to SD for next year now…

      Thank you so much! So not TMI for you then? GOOD! I spew whatever is on my mind, actually most of the time in my gut here. If you are going to BlogHer next year, make sure you either plan ahead and attend with at least one good friend (even if you have never met her IRL). It is vital to surviving this thing. Without these ladies rescuing me? I’d be a basket case, e.g. pretending I was not there for the conference and just visited NYC (which would not have been bad I guess…)

    Shave my legs? This hairy Jewess even has to shave her arms. I had a fur pelt there before. I begged a high-powered razor off my husband the other day. Humph.

    And blow dryer, straightener, and curler. Frizzy Jewish hair too. Just trying to look like maybe I’m human.
