I'm a writer.
And middle-aged, according to the thirty-somethings, but not according to the fifty-somethings. Also? Female (this ain't Billy Goats in Boxers). And a 4th generation native Callyfornyun, for what little
that's worth.
Oh sure, I have a day job and all, but you don't want to hear about that. It's boring IT software development/business analyst type stuff. Did I mention I recently lost my job?
I've maxed out my Netflix queue. I can't keep up with my TBR pile of books. My favorite authors include Christopher Moore, Daniel Handler, David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, and Steve Martin. I hate wasting time in a car driving, but get car sick if I'm not the one behind the wheel. I am married to Mr. MudPuppy, and wife swappers need not apply. I am not a mommyblogger (not that there's anything wrong with that).
I eat, travel, exercise and sleep with my nano iPod. But not for the music. I listen to NPR. But not for the music. I hate straight-ahead jazz. I love Jason Mraz. I'm a poet (not really, it was just for that brief jazz/Mraz bit earlier).
I'm a non-conformist. Just like everybody else.
I blog from Sacramento and Los Angeles, California, depending on what day it is. I started this blog in 2005. I wrote for two or three readers at the most and wrote the occasional rants with a bunch of "hey check out this video" and other forms of middlemanning people's content. At some point this blog began showing more of my writing (and therefore more of me) and became what it is today. I discovered a community of other bloggers, which has partly contributed to this blog's evolution. I am trying to tone done the potty mouth to see if it's true that you can lay off the swearing and still be funny.
This blog is meant to amuse you. If the name didn't make that obvious, you need to leave right now. If I offend you, but you can diplomatically express that in the comments section, then please knock yourself out. I welcome disagreement, but not pathetic, purposeless and mispelled rudeness. If you can't carry on a civil conversation when you object to my material, just get the hell out. I don't want your kind here. There are too many other asinine blogs out there for either one of us to be wasting our time on each other. And what are you doing with a computer, anyway?
Some of the stuff I write is absolutely true, some if it utter crap, for the sake of humor. Most of the modern-looking photos in the posts are mine, but the story around it might be completely made up, like the one about the
Mac & Cheese. I think the more you read my stuff, you'll be able to figure out which stuff is true and which stuff is clearly absurd.
Yes, I'm working on the Great American Novel. Who isn't? But meanwhile, I will fritter away here and maybe get the occasional written piece published. You can see what I've published so far under the "Published Stuff" button at the top.
Since this is an almost, practically, virtually commercial-free site, I only ask that you support me by clicking on the Sacto Top 25 logo (or on
this link) each time you visit to help keep me near the top of the list. Actually, if it's not too much trouble, you could also go to my
Humor Bloggers Profile Page and say something nice about me (no registration required).
If you wish to email me, I'd love to hear from you, unless you found this site by using any one of the following sets of search terms:
all you can eat panties
poo in panties
children in panties
In other words, if you're not a total perv, feel free to send a note to margaret(at)nannygoatsinpanties(dot)com.
