Dear Friends,
Since the clock has starting ticking on my fifteen minutes of “blogging fame”, I have been inundated with questions. Therefore, I thought I would take the opportunity to address my fans and answer some of the more frequently asked questions.
Q: Are all the stories you write about true? – Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN
Q: Are all the stories you write about true? – Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN
A: Dear Anonymous - In one word YES! I do not fabricate stories! However, occasionally I will change a name (to keep from being sued or killed) or edit a story for the sake of space or boredom.
Q: Sometimes when I read your stories, you come across as a little “slow”. Are you of normal mentality? – Just Curious, Philadelphia, IL
A: Dear Curious - I get this question a lot actually, and by all accounts I am of normal mentality. I have taken several online IQ test that put me in the 137 – 142 IQ range (one test refused to give me my score because I wouldn’t pay $29.95 but I am pretty sure I aced that test, too). I should admit, though, that occasionally I fill my own head with so much useless trivia that all common sense is pushed out.
Q: Is your husband as wonderful as you make him seem? And if so, why do you never say his name? – Mandy, Springfield, IL
A: Dear Mandy – Thank you for asking. He is most definitely wonderful. I could not have asked for a kinder more loving husband. I do not list his name because he threatened to choke me to death, if I did.
Q: First off. Let me say I just love your blog but I read in People magazine that you hate Australians. Is this true? – CrocLover147, Melbourne, Australia
A: Dear CrocLover – Unfortunately I did make that comment but I shouldn’t have. After some serious soul searching and Court mandated counseling, I have realized that I do NOT hate Australians. I simply hate Crocodile Dundee and the word Crickey. I apologize to any and all Australians who were hurt by my slanderous words. It was a careless comment and I feel horrible it.
Q: If I was rating your blog on a scale of 5 stars, I would definitely give you two thumbs up! Have you ever thought about writing a book? – Mark, Springfield, IL
A: Dear Mark – I think about writing a book every day! I hope to have something out in the stores by this time next year. Thank you so much for your support and your many, many, many letters. (No really, thank you… please, stop writing. You are starting to scare me.)
Q: Now that your blog has become so popular and you are somewhat of a Z-list celebrity, would you ever consider competing on Dancing With The Stars? – Kim K., Hollywood, CA
A: Dear Kim - I honestly don’t think so. My agent came to me with the idea about a month ago but I really feel like it would take to much time away from my writing and that is truly where my heart lies. Though I will admit that if scheduling allows I will be singing “We Are The Champions” during the American Idol Season Finale.
I should probably confess that I made up all of those questions. But had they been asked, that is how I would have answered. I am really just trying to prepare myself for my inevitable fame. If any of you ever do have any questions or comments, I would love to answer them.
Love you all - D
