Sex with my first boyfriend was a little bit like learning how to put in a tampon, but only half as enjoyable!

You don't want to be glib; you want to treat every story respectfully.

I hate birthdays. I thought that I only hated my own birthday, and then I realized that I hate my children's birthdays too.

I want to get a gold star. And I know that there are places that I need to go in order to get the story right. I'd rather do it right than have to do it twice.

I am a cookbook fanatic.

I'm shy, but I'm not clinically shy. I don't have social anxiety disorder or anything like that. I more have a gentle shyness. Like, I have a little trouble mingling at parties.

It's fun to be surrounded by people that you love.
