What were you doing five years ago?
Blogs are convenient. Apparently I was buying a fax machine, feeling thankful about not being pregnant and writing one of my favorite blog posts.
What are five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order)?
It’s 5:46pm so I’ll list what I’m doing tomorrow:
1. Blog for a client, (which I do every Monday).
2. Get at least one book review done.
3. Follow up on one query and draft a second.
4. Write an essay due Wednesday.
5. Make a menu plan, a grocery list and then actually get out and shop.
What are five snacks you enjoy?
1. Popcorn.
2. Fruit — most kinds.
3. Goat cheese.
4. Almonds.
5. Buttered toast.
What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?
1. Donate.
2. Invest.
3. Spend.
4. Retire.
5. Write a whole lot more.
What are five of your bad habits?
1. Snacking while I watch tv.
2. Whining.
3. Leaving my empty water glass next to the computer every single night.
4. Gossiping.
5. Filling out memes instead of, say, productively outlining an essay.
What are five places where you have lived?
1. California (where I was born and where Erica was born)
2. Boston (where Justin was born)
3. Chicago
4. Ohio
5. Portland, OR (where Noah was born)
What are five jobs you’ve had?
1. writer
2. at-home mother
3. shelter worker
4. preschool teacher
5. deli worker extraordinaire
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
