One of these things is not like the other...

This morning, I had a muddled revalation that resulted with me in tears over, apparently, my hair.  I want a sheitel that looks perfect on me that I love and I want to take the sheitels that I own and burn them.  Burn them till they die.  They either don't fit or need repairs or are the wrong color or any combination of the above and not the cut

I want to say stuff like how maybe you could start bringing girly, but frum office appropriate reading to work like Binah, Ami, or print out something from a nail polish blog. Then you could read during lunch or go to the water cooler with it so it mimics girl co worker socialization. Or maybe hide an In Style or Lucky in a file folder. And I can always text you to see if you have on the perfect lip gloss for sparkle and fighting winter dryness without getting sticky icky on your sheitel.

But then I read the end and think I should just daven for you to have a little girl and fill this void of not having someone to share your love for glitter pink jumpers.

I understand how you are feeling, at least bits of it. I have been in similar places in my life, and it is very hard. Are none of the women at work friend material? That would help some, I think. I know that when I was working with only men (it has happened several times in my life) I learned *tons* from them - not only about my job, but about men in general. Like you said, they do approach the world very differently than we do. The more I understand about them, the better off I am, I think.

I, too, will pray for you to have another daughter. She would be a very lucky little girl, indeed.

I have missed your posts. I have been mostly off line for a long time, and I am glad to see you are still here.

Hi Yael,

I know you don't know me, but I stumbled upon your journal a while back.

We share the same love of Disney. I thought you would appreciate the following tumblr account, and maybe it might bring a smile to your face when you're feeling blue:

Have a magical day ;-)
