Not your typical gay, Jewish mom-in-the-suburbs blog. I aim to entertain even if that means the joke is on me. And sometimes I make people blush a little.

The gays of Who-ville
It’s been a week now since the march, and it already seems like ages ago. It could be because we spent the march in glorious, sunny heat and returned to wintry cold. It’s as cold as a witch’s tit in a brass bra over here. Even though we canâ...
National Equality March 2009
Photos now. Thoughts later.I kid you not, there was a rainbow in the sky just as the march was beginning. Is that you, God? What? You love gays? I knew it.At the Milk & Cookies event on Saturday. Face painting, balloon animals, sign making and,...
Gays who march
We’re packing up the M-V and heading to Washington DC this weekend where we’re going to march for marriage equality on Sunday, October 11. It began as a throw-away question. “Hey, Gabriella. Let’s go to the National Equality March on the 1...
My alter-ego
Nothing like a vacation to get my face out of my computer. It's also a great way to forget the fact that we're still unemployed. Didja miss me? No need to answer. I’m back with a tale of yesteryear.When my parents first asked me if I had any in...
PRIDE 2009
Flashback to Gay Pride past. I’m young, outloudandproud and marching down 5th Avenue on a hot, sticky Sunday in June. There is a meagre handful of gay-haters with poorly designed signs void of poetry outside of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Laughab...
Like Butter
Friday night. Sitter booked. Tickets purchased. We were going to see the comedian July Gold in the city. A friend of Gabriella’s whose husband’s sister’s friend who knows...I don’t know. I lost track. But somehow, there was a very dista...
Porch season
Sunday, Gabriella took the boys to Queens to hang out with Zia and Zio gifting me an afternoon alone. By myself. With no one around. Sola. Does absence make the heart grow fonder, or is a single afternoon an insufficient amount of time to allow t...
The Story of Passover: The Exodus
Home after a road trip to Boston to spend Passover with my sister and her family. I'll be telling the tale much as the Passover story is told at the seder - in parts. This is the story of our journey. The Exodus to Boston.Our travels were thankful...
Our friends the DRAMA BOTTOMS
It’s been a subject of conversation on a number of occasions. Are some people born unlucky? Of course not, right? That would be to say that black clouds follow designated people and rain on them constantly. I can’t subscribe to that notion. ...
Enlightening news
If you’ve read entries past, then you know of our connection to the ladies behind Enlightenment Productions, The World Unseen and I Can’t Think Straight: Hanan Kattan and Shamim Sarif. I have tracked their successes with you over the past few mo...
Lick ya later!
I’ve been writing this blog for a good while now and have never mentioned the L Word. Why? Do I really need to tell you that Gabriella and I watch the L Word? So cliché! I don’t have to tell you about driving the mini-van either, but you kno...
Kids are fun, funerals are not
Where to begin? What to even share? As you know by now, I’m not one to get too heavy. It’s not that I don’t like to bear my soul and share my moments of deep reflection or sorrow with you. I am not afraid to be vulnerable or to expose mysel...
BEST LEZZY - Without you I'm nothing
We did it!! We nominated Peaches & Coconuts for a BEST PERSONAL BLOG LEZZY on TLL! I thought it was a long shot at best. Most of the blogs that have been nominated in all categories have been around longer and have a large, loyal readership and de...
2 - 4 - 6 - 8, Spread the word and NOMINATE
I’m relatively new to this blogging thing. I mean to say that I’m new to this blogging lifestyle. I’ve always written-even before blogging was in fashion or even referred to as blogging by mainstream society. Diverted and Rediverted were my ...
Rachel loves funny lesbos
Deborah: So, aren’t you happy your substitute teaching job is over? You don’t have to get up at 5 in the morning and go to school. Rachel: I just watched blind-folded musical chairs on Ellen. It was funny, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.D...
The mile high family
Waiting to board a flight at the airport, we all learn a lot about people with whom we might otherwise have limited to no exposure. At Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, you’ve got all kinds. There are people coming in from the corn fields of the Mid...
Babies R Us-All of us
Lifetime Television is going to air a new documentary series focusing on women and couples facing fertility challenges. An associate of the production company contacted Family Equality Council looking for lesbian couples currently experiencing challe...
Celebrate not tolerate
What to do now that my partner is unemployed and home all day. Every day. Sleep late? Go to the gym? Get my nails done? Get busy with my lady friend in the middle of the day? Nope though that last one would be particularly nice. None of the a...
From bankers to broadway
I was half-way through the follow up entry to the Prop 8: The Musical when our lives took a bit of a detour. I was going to talk about the demise of Broadway given that it was Marc Shaiman, Hairspray’s composer, who wrote Prop 8: The Musical and ...
My new favorite musical
I don't usually dedicate blog entries to one photo or video alone. But given that this particular video is a show in and of itself, I didn't want to steal the spotlight. Thank you, Kevin, for posting this on FB. I might have had a cheeky nap inste...
Prop 8 Wedgie
I really do try to keep it light, but I’ve got a Prop 8 wedgie, and I’ve got to pick it out. Wake up gays and friends of! The impassioned pleas are completely misdirected, in my humble opinion. We keep trying to reach out to homophobes and con...
