As a writer who works at home, I have a chance to see the world from a different perspective -- like in my pajamas with my hair uncombed at 11:00 in the morning. Of course I usually dress up to work, sort of like those movie stars do whenever People Magazine interviews them. You know the kind I mean: they're beautiful without a touch of make-up and wear Spandex that shows their belly buttons even when they're just lounging around.
Yes, I work at home, which places me in close proximity to my family. I have a husband whose favorite four-letter word is ESPN, a daughter teetering on teenhood who pretends she's adopted and a son who leaves live bugs in his jeans pockets so I can drown them in fabric softener.
As for me, I've been trying to lose 20 pounds since 1991. Actually, I've lost those 20 pounds -- 12 times over -- but they just keep supergluing themselves back onto my thighs. Something tells me my Mounds candy bar diet isn't working. Perhaps I should try Snickers.
But I digress. I write a lot of things. Many of them are funny. Some are serious. And since I don't have any problems baring my innermost secrets with the world in general (hey, I wear big, white, cotton underpants and I'm not ashamed to admit it!), I thought I'd share some of them with you. If you like what you read, tell me. If you have writing needs, contact me. I sell reprint rights and will custom write a piece for your newsletter, magazine, web site, newspaper, cereal box, ransom note or other publication.
And while you're here, please ignore the sink full of dishes. I plan to do them as soon as I finish organizing my closets and working out with Jane Fonda.
Really.
