About Me

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.

    Hi ! I’m flattered that you visited, and that you’ll return to anecdotes from the overly sensitive nurse! When I grow up, I want to blog with the abandon that you do – love your site!

    What a delightful about me section! The “disgustingly blissful” phrase is bound to stick with me the next time someone asks about my marriage 😀

  16. I was a loud complainer when verb-ing nouns gained popularity. But I do it often, now! I justify it by showing my poetic license
