The Division Street Princess: Scaredy-Cat

http://thedivisionstreetprincess.blogspot.com/2010/11/scaredy-cat.html

The Division Street Princess. Tuesday, November 02, 2010. This afternoon, I join Janie Isackson's Ethnic Chicago class to answer questions the DePaul University students have after reading my memoir, "The Division Street Princess.". Thirty-four questions await. The first sent me thinking. It read, "If you could go back in time, what is the one thing that you would change about your childhood? That's easy. I'd toss my timidity. This excerpted selection from Chapter 3, Safe on our Shores, explains:. And FJ...

http://thedivisionstreetprincess.blogspot.com/2011/01/really-really-long-distance-birthday.html

The Division Street Princess. Sunday, January 30, 2011. A Really, Really Long Distance Birthday Phone Call. 8220;Mom, where are you? 8221; I said. My query was directed to the computer’s screen. We were using iChat, and I was anxious to see my mother’s face. 8220;A minute, a minute,” I could hear her say. I turned up the volume on my Mac and heard clicks - a lipstick top being circled downward, a pocket mirror snapped shut. 8220;What kind of example would I set coming to see my daughter with a plain face?

Makeshift Bookmark: September 2012

Because sometimes that soy chai latte receipt from 2008 is all that's convenient. Friday, September 28, 2012. Carla's Thoughts - Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta. Published by Candlewick, 9 February 2012. But Evanjalin is not what she seems. And the truth will test not only Finnikin's faith in her . . . but in himself. When I first heard that Marchetta was writing a YA fantasy I was all CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES C’MON! And then it arrived and thus began the stare off of the century. Because I. BECAUSE...

http://thedivisionstreetprincess.blogspot.com/2014/07/daddy-wants-bite-of-his-american-dream.html

The Division Street Princess. Friday, July 11, 2014. Daddy Wants a Bite of His American Dream. It was an early evening in March of that year, and I was sitting in the kitchen of our three-room-flat watching my mother cook dinner, when Dad burst through the door and proclaimed, “Let’s buy the grocery store downstairs! 8221; My 33-year-old father must have taken the steps two-at-time for his face was flushed and he was starving for breath. Although Dad may have had the strength of Tarzan of the Jungle, he ...

The Division Street Princess: April 2011

http://thedivisionstreetprincess.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

The Division Street Princess. Tuesday, April 05, 2011. Sticking My Nose Into Other People’s Business. You call it Sticking My Nose Into Other People’s Business. I call it, Being Helpful.

The Division Street Princess: November 2011

http://thedivisionstreetprincess.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

The Division Street Princess. Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Three weeks. Three months. Elapses when I hear the seeds sprouting. Little grumbles at first, then kvetching. First to myself, then to friends. As certain as the sun will rise tomorrow, I do the leap, bail, drop out thing that I do do so well. How am I convinced of this proclivity? I keep a journal. Faithfully, each day I record the happenings of the previous. Once entered, pen down, I re-read events of a year ago. As you might expect, eyes typica...
