So..I'm sitting here with my laptop at 1:40am Saturday night. No, I have not been drinking, but I have been taking new meds. Being halfway crazy is so stinkin' fun.

But anyway - amid the pacing and racing thoughts - it occurred to me that no one else on earth has had a life like mine. I can write gud, and I do have moments of pure genius - so I thought I should write a book.

Call it

"Diary of a student, daughter, mother, and borderline OCDer"

Whaddya think?

Here's the potential outline:

It would of course, have to be a trilogy, or maybe even a saga..

Book 1

Chapter 1 - 4: I am born. blah blah. I could talk about the fact that I went to 12 different schools before graduating, my mother remarrying twice, moving from sunny SC to blizzardly MN

Chapter 5-7: The rebel teenage years. Such wasted potential

Chapter 9-10: OoOO - my big old move back to SC, and promptly getting the boot out of my old man's house...

Chapter 11: An entire chapter would have to be devoted entirely to Hollyhell Video - wouldn't you agree Natalie?

Chapter 12: The ONE.Watch out there's a cliffhanger!!

Book 2

Chapters 1 -5: LIving with the ONE

Chapter 6-7 Move back to SC, potential ending of friendship - supposed affair with said friend's man

Chapter 8-10 - PREGNANT!!! OHHH Shit.

Chapter 10-12: Move back to AR, have huge fights with the ONE, another cliffhanger!!

Book 3:

Chapter 1-5 move back to mn, have baby, get shunned by family,

Chapter 6-9 The ONE moves to MN, we have great makeup sex, fight, and eventually get engaged.

Chapter 10-12 - THE wedding - again - predicatble - cliffhanger bride misses her own reception!!

Book 4:

Well, you get the idea...

so what do you think?
