I'm a ghostwriter and book editor - there are a lot of amazing and inspirational stories that deserve and need to be told... so I help shape and polish the writing first!
I'm a mom of two teenagers and the wife of an amazing man and, at heart, a loner who doesn't like to be alone. Some days, I want to jump on the bed and laugh joyously and, other times, I can barely suppress the temptation to crawl under the bed and hide from the world. Bi-polar? Nope... just a girl!...

I’ve been tagged!  My sassy & brilliant online friend, Miss Atittude miss_attitude.jpg, tagged me today.  So what's a girl to do?  Copy and paste, natch! 

Step #1 - Link to the person who tagged you. OK, here ya go... (http://skirt.com/blog/4106) Check out her blog...

Step #2 - Write Five Fun/Interesting Facts about yourself.   

1. I had my first small aircraft flight lesson on the same day I first met with my last divorce lawyer. (That’s a lotta firsts and lasts! I shoulda traded in that husband for my pilot’s license a lot sooner!)

2. I have five brothers and three sisters.

3. In my job as a reporter, I was a circus clown, ER nurse, firefighter (in actual burning building), trash collector (rode on the back of the truck) and learned how to wolf whistle, garden, scuba dive (certified) and attempted (unsuccessfully) to do cartwheels and stop throwing like a girl.

4. I ran away from home when I was 16 and never returned home.

5. I’m sitting in the loft of an 8x10 ft. cabin (not the new one we’re building from scratch a few yards away) on top of a mountain in the middle of a freezing rainstorm (where is the snow to make it worth it?!?) and loving life.

Step #3 - Tag Six Other People and link to their blogs. Then let them know you’ve tagged them by twittering them or leaving a comment on their blog.

      2. Charlene (http://skirt.com/blog/1292)

I'm tagged! Ok, well let me take the dog to the vet first, then I'll get right on that. I used to be a reporter too, and yes, it's a great way to be many things for one day! Of course, I wasn't lucky enough to be a circus clown. I'm jealous!

You are such an interesting person--you fly, edit, walk around dressed as a clown. WOW! You are so much more interesting than me...but even so, I shall write this for my blog tomorrow. xxx Kim
