I don't function well in chaos, whether it be my sheets or the dishwasher.

I had been living the life that society tends to dictate for women of a certain age. You marry the person who asks you, even though he may or may not be the best one for you. Around the time that I got divorced, I had an epiphany that there is no blue ribbon or gold medal for living someone else's life, for fulfilling someone else's dreams. It's doesn't make you happy. You just end up with a life that's not yours.

I was at one time a football wife, and there is a certain level of bonding that happens between women who are the wives of football players.
