When I went to collect my mail at the post office yesterday (had it held while in Alabama), I saw that my tape had arrived from WNIT in Elkhart, IN. If you have been reading my blog, you will know that I was invited to be on their local show, Open Studio, last month.

Well, as I put that tape in I was actually nervous. What if I sucked?

(for y'all Blogazoo folks...here's a GAzoo!)

I mean, I already know how I did since I was there, but I still worried that I would come across as too fat, too stupid, too nervous...

Well, I did look too fat. Can't help that since I AM fat, but I didn't know my southern accent was so pronounced. I guess that's why people still come up to me and ask me where I'm from.

I didn't look stupid. Nervous? Yes, but that's understandable. It was my first interview.

The only thing I wish I could do over is read one of my southern humor stories on air instead of all the poems. But I didn't even think about it at the time.

All I'm thinkin' now is, "Dang! When did I get a second chin?"
