: About Me

Welcome to the plights and plunders of a 'self-appointed' modern day Princess.

Hi, my name is Cindere11a. No - not THAT Cinderella. As the story goes, that blond little wench found her Prince Charming. As a matter of fact, she probably has her tiny feet propped up on a footstool sipping a mint julep right about now, while I'm out kissing toads.

Why toads instead of frogs, you ask? Frogs, you see, have smooth, wet skin, while toads, the little darlins, are dry, wrinkled and warty! And I've kissed a million of 'em. Blech.

My escapades into the world of toad kissing began over 20 years ago when I commenced the exhausting search for my Prince Charming. I've scaled castle walls, forged through rivers, climbed over mountains and yet, he still eludes me.

As I continue my quest to find my Prince and the proverbial missing slipper, I would like to share my adventures with you. Please note that as unreal and ridiculous as some of my stories and experiences may seem, everything is true. However,the names have been changed to protect a few guilty toads.

"I know. But I have this eerie feeling if I go ...
