pressure
Did u read the article about the Cop Cuties?
I think if I told my mom I wanted to be a cop, you probably wouldn't hear from me again.
It's not the most typical career option for a nice Jewish girl. Not too typical for a nice Jewish boy either.
Have you ever dismissed a career option because of Jewish parental pressure to choose a 'better' profession?

men in uniform
What girl doesn't secretly swoon for a man in uniform?
Here are a group of Jewish Cuties that my girlies can admire out in the open.
Don't worry guys - there is a pretty chicita on the NYPD for you too.
Enjoy ;)

eating food with boys
Hope you read the last post. Then you'd know about the wedding I went to last night.
(btw - Mazel tov Allison & Yitzy!)
And like everything that gets me thinking...
What's with separate seating at frummy functions?
Is my chewing a turn-on?
Or maybe it's not?
Maybe frum Jewish mommies are actually trying to protect girls without table manners (my etiquette skills are flawless, just in case you are wondering).
Or maybe they're trying to protect the guys?
(seriously boys, some of you need a copy of Emily Post BAD: http://www.amazon.com/Emily-Posts-Etiquette-Thumb-Indexed/dp/0066209579 )
I know they can't watch us dance and all, but would a little chatter hurt?
How else is a an-girls' school gal supposed to learn how to flirt?

i dont want no baby daddy
she also let me know that he is a father... yup, he's only 23 but he's got two kids. in fact, one of his kids is only 4 months old.
When she told me that, i was like "WHAAT, ok, stay AWAY!" - right? A normal reaction, in my opinion. I mean, his ex-gf practically just gave birth and yet he's already looking for someone else. (baby momma #3 perhaps?) Why would any decent girl want to deal with all that baggage?
But I think Ruby was more shocked by my reaction than I was by the idea that she would consider being a part of this scenario.
BTW - I do understand that sometimes people get divorced and have kids while they are still young. It's really unfortunate. But to make no commitment to 2+ people and have kids is something that should only happen on Jerry Springer.
Ruby was shocked that I wouldn't go for a guy with kids. But really, I'm only in my early 20's, and while I would maybe consider it under special circumstances, normally, I don't go for no baby daddies. Is that so wrong?

Have a great Shabbos & a Meaningful Fast
The Jewish calendar is pretty strange this year.
Tisha B'Av starts on Shabbos.
The day of rest and the day of unrest.
On the same day.
Sometimes I think we forget about why we are fasting.
We are mourning.
But how do we mourn something we have never seen?
How do we mourn when we have never known suffering?
How can we understand the pain of being displaced?
But we are displaced.
We are not in Jerusalem.
Have we forgotten Jerusalem?
No, we can never forget.
And so we mourn.
On our day of comfort and rest,
We are still uncomfortable and restless.
Here are some interesting articles worth getting inspired by: (i've chosen some short ones, don't worry)
