As you might guess from my screen name, I am a huge dog lover (the four legged type, of course!!).

I'm a 41 year old Jewish girl originally from southern California. My Jew-fro is somewhere in between the Albert Eistein and Gene Wilder schools. I am working as an adjunct faculty at some local universities, with an interest in finding a teaching position at a small to medium sized school.

My amazing superhero capabilities include the ability to occupy myself with a good book, cook a decent roast chicken, and design glow in the dark undergarments for plus sized women. Well, not really with the underwear thing, but I have been using some of my free time to slowly improve my skills with a sewing machine- just nothing glow in the dark yet. I’m also working on getting myself motivated to get back into my trumpet playing.

A few additional pearls of semi-relevant chatter: I’ve lost a significant amount of weight over the past few years and living a healthy lifestyle has become increasingly important to me. I’m prone to things like regular bathing, exercising 5X per week, and routine changing of socks and underwear. I have been fully vaccinated and brush my teeth regularly. I’m certainly not the most religious person out there, but I do have a strong sense of Jewish identity and look forward to having a Jewish family.

I have a strong predilection for bubbe-certified nice Jewish boys who enjoy conversations over slow-roasted chicken and taters, followed with chocolate chip cookies (only if you’ve eaten your leafy veggies, of course). Deep voices are a plus, but not required so long as you don’t mind my drooling over James Earl Jones from time to time. Looking forward to hearing from you-

I take this as the 'what are my hobbies and interests' section here. Aside from work, my interests include reading and music (I was an avid trumpet player in my youth) and I'm developing an interest in finding groups to get involved with relating to both areas.

I really enjoy cooking. Whether I'm good or not, you'll have to be the judge! Additionally, in my day centuries ago I was OK at the trumpet. BUT I got out of it when I was in graduate school and am only now finally starting to pick it up again. So right now I'm not so good :-)

Hmm, I'd probably have to start off with my sarcastic sense of humor and my interest in Jewish culture. I'm also somewhat zaftig, and I'm sure people notice that as well, but generally it has never been a negative thing.

My favorite books include many of the classics- JD Salinger, John Steinbeck, and many others. I've also been enjoying the Harry Potter books. Generally, I find I prefer fiction to non fiction, but I have read some good non-fiction books that I've really enjoyed. I enjoy a broad variety of music and movies. When it comes to food, GOOD food is always enjoyed, of course, but I tend to have fun when sharing recipes with friends from different cultures.

These things I could not do without:
Oxygen
Water
Photosynthesis
ATP
SPONCH
Toilet paper

All the funky things that might happen if we had more than one moon, and why it is Jupiter hogs all those moons when we only have one. Just because it's bigger! That ain't right.

This can actually vary quite a bit from one week to the next. Sometimes I'll be out with friends, other times at a local synagogue, and yet other times simply at home doing some laundry.

J. Edgar Hoover liked wearing dresses.

Please message me if you are interested in having a nice time with a nice Jewish girl. I do have a 'thing' for Jewish guys- nothing against men who are not Jewish, but it is important to me, I think, to be able to share the Jewish holidays with my partner. Additionally, I am proud of my heritage and would like to raise any children I may have to know their culture.
