I'm not sure when it happened. I'm not even sure how it happened, but it did. Sometime between 10PM last night and 8AM this morning I went through the change. You know the one where you wake up with different... um... equipment than you went to bed with. This morning I discovered that, thanks to Inman News I apparently went from a rooster to a hen with a single mouse click. Great.
A couple of weeks ago Glenn Roberts with Inman News sent me an email asking about our market conditions and asked me to call him. I was running a little behind that day so I typed out a reply and told him I would call him later in the afternoon. A reply came through while I was out thanking me for the information, saying that it would appear in an upcoming article he was working on. A little press mention is a good thing.
I woke up this morning feeling pretty normal. With the slight exception of a computer seizure this morning all was going well. Until, that is, I checked my email and saw a message from Elizabeth Weintraub, the Queen of Sacramento real estate and homebuying.about.com columnist telling me that she read about my sex change. Huh? It appears Mr. Roberts has quoted me as a she in the article. Wow. I think I'm having a hot flash. Why do I feel like going shoe shopping all of a sudden?
So, it looks as though I've been renamed Betty Blogger, at least for the foreseeable future... Hmmm, looks like that hussy Blogging Bertha is going to have some competition around here. Now where did I put my purse?

I noticed you didn't get you hair changed to blonde so you probably won't have as much fun. Good post and like the way you took it. As a hen you won't have to wear the spurs any more either.
Betty Blogger, I likes it!!! So you were quoted as a woman. That's pretty darn funny. I will head over and check out the article...mamm.
Hi Jesse...
So when do we get to see you in a dress? :)
P.S. I had a wonderful graphic to share with you but I have no AR tool bar. Bummer :(
TLW...ROAR!
So is it Jessica now...
I can't wait to see you in your evening gown!
BLOGGING BETTY, When you go for the new wardrobe I think the shoes and purse are supposed to match.
Bertha may be some help,always dresses for the occasion
Jessica- If you would like to go shopping for those designer dresses .....ROSS can help you dress for less!
Betty/Jessica- It is all about the attitude! Work it either with the blog or the hips!
Get out the Grey Goose, get loose and shake them hips.
As you know, Jesse, Inman had me rolling in the aisles. But you're always better at making me laugh. :) You hussy, you.
Jesse...
Great post about taking it in stride ... might as well laugh and go with the flow ... and start accessorizing!
sounds like the media!!!always in a hurry to get that story in and never checking to see if they have it right
Hi Jesse...Glad to see you didn't get your feathers ruffled, just your dress.
Cheers,
Kathleen
OOPS, My first name often gets mistaken for a he so I do know what you are talking about. I remember when I was graduating from high school getting all the boy career information (be an auto mechanic). That's probably bisexual now but back then it wasn't.
You and Broker Bryant need to get together and do his drag act in combo! You'd make quite a team.....
Hi Betty, congrats on the successful surgery, and love the new pic - you look simply mah-velous!
I haven't been opening my Inman emails, I had no idea they were covering REALTOR sex changes now. Is it because you are a famous blogger or something? Looks like the doctor copied the wrong photo.
Does AR have room for two dragsters?
Jesse, Nice sex change operation. I did talk to a transvestite and he/she said the hardest thing to get used to was the purse.
Jesse - I never knew... How did Kathy take the news..wives are always in the dark on this one. On the other hand...I think your doctor used too much Botox! Your new photo has that wide-eyed frozen look! Let's see if we can get your money back!
Ah, I get it. I saw Phyllis Diller this morning and was wondering what the hell was going on. Everyone always thinks I'm dude because my name is Chris, you'll live. :)
Jesse,
I did a quick internet search once I realized your predicament. You're going to need a new wardrobe. There are some real deals on plus women's sizes at www.WomanWithin.com. Always glad to be of service.

Love the new pic! Now change it back!
We possessors of gender indefinite names get that all the time. I get quite a lot of junk mail addressed to Mr. Rosario Lewis.
Thanks for changing back the pic. The other one was giving me nightmares.
You look so pretty today Betty. Are you doing something different with your hair? On a serious note, if you're a she does that make me a lesbian?
Nice to meet you Kathy! I am new to AR but have met Betty Jesse.
Hi Melody! It's nice to meet you too. Isn't Betty a trip? She signed me up but I haven't been very active and I'm catching all kinds of grief for that. She keeps telling me how entertaining this place is.
Mel - You didn't like the new me? Darn.
MK - Yep it does. Funny thing, I would have thought you could have done a lot better than Betty. She's a little on the homely side, don't ya think?
