As a teenager, I was not incredibly popular or unpopular. I was one of that vast group of invisible, semi-geeky (i.e. normal) people. I wore braces. Twice. I did not make the cut for cheerleader. I warmed the bench for my softball team. Which was probably just as
well, since I liked the library better anyway.
I've lived
all over the United States. Now officially a citizen of Red Sox
Nation, I'll always have a soft spot for the Braves and the
Brewers.
Even though I am now Grown Up,
I still feel pretty much like the semi-geeky teenager I used to
be.
Except when I write. When I write I feel beautiful and
graceful.
My twin sister Stephanie and me (I'm the pudgy one on the right), and our mom. Mom is a writer too. You can check out her website here.
My favorite footwear has always been slippers.
Me in second grade. I was not a real sailor.
For a while I had Farah Fawcett hair.
Then I had Dorothy Hamill hair.
Now I have Stacy hair.
(Some hair days are better than others.)
