Graf 4 Unique
I am a short and quite large (no, not pleasingly plump, just downright fat) woman.  I have a killer smile, I'm not too modest to tell you it will light up a room.  I have a biological mother, who was just that and had a stepmother who was my father's wife.  I have one biological brother and sister, one half brother, and six stepbrothers and stepsisters.  I even have a stepsister named Sally, talking about taking the fun OUT of dysfunctional.  I have a Dad I love, and who I know loves me, but wish he would demonstrate or say it occasionally.  I have a daughter I love endlessly, but will freely admit, there are times I do not like her.  I am the grandmother to two little boys and wish I had more time to spend with them.  I love being a grandmother, age does not scare me.  Pink is my absolutely favorite color.  When I open my closet to get dressed, it pukes pink.  Music is my passion, not particular about the style as long as I like it.  I grew up in a small coastal town that is beautiful (now that I am in my 40's), that I couldn't wait to get out of.  I was in the in-crowd in high school and a bad girl when I got out.  I have been to bike week and was the ultimate biker chick.  Tattoos and naked pictures prove it.  Followed a loser boyfriend all over the East Coast drag racing Harley's for a while.  I have been married, divorced, and oh my God "lived in sin."  Even put some time in an orange jumpsuit at the local crowbar hotel.  I have lived the good middle class life, and at times had a dollar in my pocket to make it through the week.  I have waitressed, done office work, cleaned and cooked for people, and held people's life in my hands.  I was in my very late 30's before I grew up and finally figured out who and what I wanted from life, but I wouldn't change the thing that came before.  That's what makes it so sweet now.

"I have a biological mother, who was just that and had a stepmother who was my father's wife." Nice, dry lines--easy to let material like that take over but you keep it on its leash.
ReplyDeleteAs I read on, I see that's no fluke: plenty of history, but in the writing no self-pity, no attitudes, no long explanations. Just very down to earth, simply stated material with a dash of humor an dthe reader is left satisfied.
