BABAGANOUSH ANYONE?

Blog Posted June 7, 2010.......Babaganoush Anyone?



Sometime tomorrow I’ll find out if I booked a national commercial for American Express – and the waiting is making my mouth water and my teeth sweat. Either I’ll get it or I won’t. Either they’ll call me or they won’t. What time might my cell ring or it won’t? Anytime. My phone will be on when I go to sleep. I WILL sleep thanks to my sleeping assistant, Temazepam.

So anytime tomorrow I may or may not get a call. If I booked the… Continue

Linda, if a comment you leave doesn't show up, it's because the person you're sending it to has comment moderation on.

I have it on because I don't like people posting oversized copies of their bookcover on my page, as a few people here are wont to do.

Welcome to She Writes, Linda. I used to live in SM, on 21st Place (between 21st and 22nd streets, just north of Montana). If you’re looking for a place to jump in here, you might enjoy checking out the LA SheWriters group, or the Funny Women one. Hope you'll enjoy the site!
