"It Could Be Sweet" --Portishead

Hold Up...I'll talk to you in a minute...just let me finish this cigarette. You know,
I may be married, but I'm not dead.
This dude is FINE and I just know he's thinking about ME.

Whew!
Listening to Portishead 'Dummy' most of the day! Oh Yeah!
My favorites are the first cut, 'Mysterons',
#4-It Could Be Sweet and
#7 Numb

I was thinking of ways that you, my reader(s) could get the maximum value from my book.
I know that purchasing a book is an investment and you want some value, some return
(believe me I buy a lot of books!) for your money.

Of course, reading me will confirm what you already know:
I am provocative, quietly LOUD, an Aries, (shy):, i>u, the oldest of nine children--seven living, zaftig, bold, amazing, headstrong, a Grown AZZ woman, imaginative, i=u, creative, love to sleep, eccentric, funny when I feel like it, an actor, a loner, miss my Mommy....

I came up with 7 Ways to Get Value From my Book, as opposed to the temporary and fading pleasure
of say a movie. Add in popcorn, nachos, a soft drink, overpriced candy (well, overpriced everything)
and I'm beginning to look damn good! And I am!

Okay, okay already here are the magnificent SEVEN:

(1) Read the book!
(2) Lend it out!
(3) Write a Review (post at amazon, this blog, that blog, everywhere a blog, blog)
(4) Read it again, surely you missed something!
(5) What do you agree with or disagree with? How does the book (or me) make you feel? Think?
(6) Start a Salon in your home or at your favorite bar (I'm all for the bar) or a discussion group online.
In other words TALK! Socialize.
USE ME...I'm accustomed to being used...yeah, right!

There are so many elements within my book that can provoke discussion (and maybe a fight):
Abortion
Sex
first love,
first freedom...being at college
Obsession
stand up comedy
Menage a' trois
Greece!
Men!
US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen
video Dating
pregnancy
Arab men
family
aging
Mothers
death
healthcare
the search for identity
longing
relationships
career
in-laws
intuition
VIP Party & Whoopi Goldberg
inspiration
taking a chance
being Simone DeBeavoir's 'other'
what defines U
who defines U
family
feminist epistemology (I know, that one scares me too!)
regrets
trust
Joseph Campbell
Rawhide
homemade ice cream
philosophy
Westerns
the list goes on...

BTW, I attended an Obama Primary Party Celebration, Saturday night for the South Carolina primary!
WOW! Being there was like going to...New York City!
You know how when you enter NYC it seems that you are plugged into excitement and creativity, and the coolness of that city? I felt that Saturday in Cleveland! I felt part of something awesome and momentous. There were people of every persuasion and we were all excited and happy...and drinking!
It was effin fantastic!

I forgot to mention a GREAT book I read Saturday afternoon before the primary party.
It is by Harriet Rubin and named 'The Mona Lisa Stratagem.'
It is the Prince/Machiavellian/Art of War tome for women...and the men who love them.
This book has wisdom.
My favorite quotes from the book:
"...there is a contact of thought that seems so much closer than a kiss." --Edith Wharton

"Speak the truth to power lightly. Truth is what people want although it frightens them." --Harriet Rubin

"Who else can give you what you get from me?" --Harriet Rubin

You're Fired!

I was TERMINATED today ( 1-21-2008) from my position as a RN
on the open heart team at Cleveland Clinic, because
I wrote and published a Book, My Memoirs.
Brings to mind, "You can't handle the truth." --A Few Good Men

I started at CC in 1981. I left for 9 months to go to Graduate School.
Twenty-six years (actually 27) of service with a stellar record.

The two administrators who fired me, admitted to me that they did not
even read my book!

Did I mention my book?
It is some incendiary device!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 1-21-2008!

My book, did I mention my book?
'Notes From the Mothership The Naked Invisibles'
has caused quite a stir in a tiny clique at work.
I call this clique 'The Second Wives Club.'

The SWC is generally a small and tedious faction of 'old school' (as opposed to 'old skool' meaning cool) nurses who are basically subserviant in their actions and behaviors to doctors and surgeons.
These women (and some men) typically (not all) derive their self-esteem and self-definition (i.e. 'I'm sos and so's ___, 'I work with so and so, So and so calls me by my first name!) from serving their 'at work husband' as loyally or perhaps more so than their real husbands!
Yeah, I know, it is hard to believe...and then maybe not!
Do you have a SWC at your place of employment?! I bet you do!

ORDER MY BOOK AT: http://amazon.com,
ASIN: 0979286301; ISBN: 0978-09792863-0-8

The SWC took umbrage at some
observations and memories of the OR I detailed from my 25+ years perspective (exclusively on the open heart team) in my book.

The SWC's actions and behavior overshadow some of the more poignant and important offerings of the book!
My observations of course include (but are not limited to) the omnipresence of sex, affairs, obsession, abused wife syndrome , transformation and transgression.
"You can't handle the truth!" --Jack Nicholson (from that...military movie)

As you can see from the picture, I may be in a bit of a situation, AZZ OUT!
Soooo, I expect to be____ well, let's let my 'employer' fill in the blank.

And again I say which is now even more apropos
"TODAY I MARRIED MYSELF AND I BECAME MY OWN WIFE."
--Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde
See you late Monday with details.
(Gawd, my balls are itching!)

Stumble It!

"...I became my own wife." --Concrete Blonde

Now don’t you look at me with jaded eyes
And don’t you accuse me of compromise
Because this is the first day of the rest of my life
Today I married myself and I became my own wife
I used to give it away
I used to give it away
I used to live and breath and bleed for you everyday
- Johnette Napolitano, Singer/Creator Concrete Blonde

I heard this song on NPR and loved it!
Especially this line:
"TODAY I MARRIED MYSELF AND BECAME MY OWN WIFE."
This struck a cord with me in that the job of publishing, authoring and becoming an author is a laborious and lonely job at times. Although, at the same time empowering and very, very satisfying!
I listened intently and intensively to my own self for just about all of 2007 as I learned the ropes and sought my authentic voice for this book.
I had a vision and I stayed truth to MY effin vision!
For this book, did I mention my book, 'NOtes From the Mothership The Naked Invisibles' I MARRIED MYSELF AND I BECAME MY OWN WIFE!

A CHILD IS BORN!
