Who am I? I’m just another writer. I write how I speak. Even though I have a BA in English, and even though I’ve been a teacher, and can red pen with the best of em, I don’t shrink from verbing my nouns, using a run-on for effect, or lettin it all slang out.
I’m a mother, but not your mother. So when I judge you harshly, I won’t say it to your face, because I was not raised by wolves, nor has anyone died and made me queen. Oh, but there’s time still!
I have fallen off my high horse a time or two, but it’s never stopped me from gettin right back up on it.
With Gratitude
Thanks for stoppin by!-

Writing that is brutally truthful and yet still amusing. Hard to pull that one off…

Thank you 🙂 I’m glad to have you. I do not have this background as scrapbook paper and I am slightly jealous you do. I love No Facilities — Dan does great variety, doesn’t he? I actually have three beautiful cats. Well, I think they’re beautiful ^_^
I hope you’ll enjoy reading me 🙂

Yeah – you’re right! I might try relying more on email. It seems like there would be less maneuvering through WordPress, more reading time.
