Meryl Jaffe said… - I love your post, love your humor, and unfortunatly can relate all too well. My problem is that I don't see writing OR eating as a dilema - I do both (and shouldn't). I am at the age where EVERYTHING I eat sits somewhere on my hips, butt, you name it!
Loved the post - will come back for more - hope you visit mine (would love some of your spunk and humor spread all over)!
