: About Me

I've been blogging since 2006 at http://ronnisrants.blogspot.com. I am a fifty-mumble grandmother, very opinionated and not always politically correct.

I love to write. My blog started to give me something to do while quitting smoking. I have quit smoking, gained 30 pounds, and become addicted to blogging. Is there a patch for that?

My passion is ...

theater

I know too much about ...

mendacity

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

History Channel

My first job ...

selling Watkins products door to door

My best moment ...

hasn't happened yet

My inspiration ...

my husband
