A quick hello
Wow - I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since my last post. Thought I'd come out of hiding to say hello. Lots of stuff has happened but the most exciting news has got to be that LO became a Bat Mitzvah in August. Time keeps flying by.
Hope this finds all of you out there in the blogosphere well and happy.
In a world full of sterotypes, I love that I break several of them...I'm 100% Chinese but at 5'8" I'm considered tall...I'm Jewish and almost every time I go to shul or the kosher market, there is at least one person (usually more) who stares at me in disbelief...my daughter (LO or Little Orieyenta) is adopted from China but between the two of us (since we live in Miami) we speak more Spanish than we do Chinese and as odd as it may seem, we speak more Hebrew than we do Spanish.
