In which we rejoice.
Friday, 30 June 2006 9:35 P GMT-06
In which we rejoice that I am moving from furtive glances and general dorking out. Tomorrow morning I will casually run into (not literally like this morning) Cute Guy at My Coffee Shop and chat over... um, probably coffee. Not only becau

Cute clothes at Sears?
Thursday, 29 June 2006 10:01 P GMT-06
First the annoying work disclaimer, I think Sears is a client of Edelman's. I know I've seen clippings of Cutie Ty Pennington and his Sear's stuff. But I don't work on that account.
That said.
After work, I headed off to the Lane
Over there on Fringe.
Wednesday, 28 June 2006 9:03 P GMT-06
I have this thing where I like to correct assumptions that people make about the Reform Movement. Do I think Reform Jews are perfect? No. That the Reform Movement is perfect? No. Do I want to correct a statement her
While I got up on time...
Tuesday, 27 June 2006 10:55 P GMT-06
I'e never asked for matchmaking and had such strong follow-through before from the matchmakers. What started as pulling aside one barista, seems to know include the whole staff where I get caffienated in the morning. Today I got a lecture
Where my readers at?
Tuesday, 27 June 2006 1:20 P GMT-06
Not my blog readers, but my blog readers who are hard core book readers. The Wall Street Journal covered the social networking site for bookworms today. Thank god, my day has come.
Check out Library Thing! You create a virtual libr
I'm going to be one of those, aren't I?

The exciting thing about joining the me2revolution is getting to use my bloggity blog skills and my intuitive understanding of the searching. (Just a quick side note, I accidentally bought Joe Joes (the Trader Joe Oreo cookie) in GINGER?!?!&nbs

I wrote three posts that Blog City ate last night before I gave up. This is just a post to say, I'm still alive.
Big in... Africa?
Friday, 23 June 2006 9:18 P GMT-06
I don't know why, but the African men in my neighborhood love me. And my ego loves them back. Tonight was the third time in the year I've been in this neighborhood that an African man has followed me and asked me out. Not in a creep
Don't die on me blog-city
Thursday, 22 June 2006 10:56 P GMT-06
Blog-city is loading slowly on the inside and I'm already worried I could lose this post before it is even written. Tonight was just day two in my social marathon, but I'm ready for a night off. No, wait. It is Thursday, so it is ni
I am not THAT Leah
Wednesday, 21 June 2006 10:52 P GMT-06
Um, is Big Brother back on TV or something? And is there, perhaps, a Leah on the show this season?
Cause I'm getting an awful lot of hits for Leah in Big Brother. A lot, more than too many. I'm not that Leah. The only Reality
A few thoughts and then well deserved rest.
Wednesday, 21 June 2006 10:44 P GMT-06
Last night I got home too late and too full of wonderful food to blog. I ate at Rose Angelis on Wrightwood--other than getting lost on my way there, it was a lovely dinner. It was such a relief to spend a night telling stories and talking
Sisterhood Six
Tuesday, 20 June 2006 9:37 A GMT-06
I've mentioned it before, I'll mention it again.
Sisterhood Six.
It is a group blog sponsored by Avent and managed by Edelman. I work on the account. The Sisterhood Six now has a forum for moms (and brave dads) but not a lot of d
The Wal-Mart Jews.
Tuesday, 20 June 2006 8:04 A GMT-06
Y'all saw this right? The article in the NY Times about Wal-Mart Jews and the first synagogue in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Last summer my friends Jake and Jen visited me from Arkansas. They joined me for my Jew 101 class and learned
Holy cow! What a great contest!
Sunday, 18 June 2006 9:17 P GMT-06
On Thursday or Friday, I got an email from Becky--my sister's best friend. She's in an industry that I'd like to be in--publishing. (No Phil, I'm not looking for a new job. It is just that little book that I wrote last year, I'd lik
Adult Social Networking Site
Sunday, 18 June 2006 1:26 P GMT-06
I recently joined LinkedIn.com, it is MySpace for professionals. Thank god there is no music blaring from personal sites or popping graphics/fonts/colors. But if you want to link to me, I'm there. And I'm on MySpace and for some rea
Watching Dreams Come True.
Sunday, 18 June 2006 11:52 A GMT-06
Twice this weekend, I had the opportunity to watch dreams come true. Someone harbors a dream, a fantasy, an idea for years and then decides, "Fuck it, I'm going to do it." And they do it--but not because they want that fantasy t
Open Letter to the Cute Guy at my coffee shop.

An Open Letter to the Cute Guy at My Coffee Shop.
Our barista tried to introduce us a couple weeks ago, remember? The morning after I got my promotion and she ordered you to give me a high five. You asked her to explain my new job as a c
Where I'll be at 4ish.
Saturday, 17 June 2006 9:47 A GMT-06
Saturday in the Park with Jews. Meet me there around 4ish.
No more pity party
Thursday, 15 June 2006 6:54 P GMT-06
Okay, my pity party is over. "Why did I quit doing stand-up comedy?" whine, whine, whine. I quit for good reasons and it isn't like I can't go back sometime.
I wrote my second post over at Jewish Fringe, so check th

meeting downtown to see Jerry Seinfeld's documentary after work. After work for me, just an evening for you. Maybe it was a date, but it wasn't. Afterwards, sitting at my kitchen table, talking about comedy and how it isn't a merito

Wednesday, 14 June 2006 10:41 P GMT-06
Tonight I went to The Elevated to watch some stand-up. We expected a friend to be performing, but eventually found out that he is in LA working on a show. I saw some familiar faces, Ricky Carmona, Cayne Collier. Cayne even hooke
Good lesson, good books.
Tuesday, 13 June 2006 9:28 P GMT-06
Today was my third trek out to the Suburbs for a hebrew lesson. I'm happy to say that I'm finding the three hours on trains and buses to be worth it. Three hours? Seriously Leah, three hours in transit for one hour of Hebrew instruc

Chicago Jewish Folk Art Festival
Sunday, 11 June 2006 8:20 P GMT-06
I spent the morning studying Hebrew and the afternoon at the Chicago Jewish Folk Art Festival. Every other year, Jews of all stripes head to Skokie to browse art fairs, eat kosher food, listen to Jewish music, learn about Jewish organization an
Is it June or is it March?
Saturday, 10 June 2006 9:00 A GMT-06
I realize I was talking about March last night, but I didn't mean to bring March weather with the conversation. Come on, 50 degrees and raining? In June?
