OK, can't keep pouting.

Suppers:

Hmm... where to begin?

Sunday - pizza at parents

Monday - hmm... what was Monday? Oh, yeah... supper pout failure - matzah brei & macaroni-tuna casserole (which Elisheva made)

Tuesday - Ted was off - Ted-made stir-fry! (I was out tutoring & had stir-fry waiting for me when I got home)

Wednesday - quiche night - tinned spinach w/fried onion, nuked veggies on the side

Thursday - Purim - tonight! Umm... oh, yeah, Shake n' Bake chicken

Camera still broken. Lame-o "estimate" from Nikon people says it's too expensive to fix but they'll give us an upgrade to a new camera for $120. Same deal they gave us last time. Aargh. Meanwhile, for Purim, I had Ted buy a disposable camera. There are NO choices here, that's the lousy part. Either buy an inexpensive film camera and spend a ton on developing lousy pictures, spend $100-120 for a digital camera and have it break in 6 months, or waste $10-12 on processing-included disposables. Ten of them would pay for a digital camera.

Mind if I swear?

Damn.

I hate this situation. I feel broken.

Mary asked a while ago what Naomi wanted for her birthday - I wonder if I can say she wants her picture taken??? But I think perhaps that window of opportunity has already passed (her birthday having come & gone a month ago and all).

Taanis Esther today - must eat lunch before the fasting kids come home. What a switch from all those years when I was fasting & had to feed them... weird!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
