The editor of the newspaper that I delivered and now sell ad space for asked me to be a columnist. Apparently he saw my blog and thought I'd be good at it.
Holy shiit.

Awesome!
I'd love to read it!
And I didn't even have to sleep with anyone!
I was telling my mom and she goes "at this rate you'll own the paper in the next year".
I don't know if it will be online or not but the first few columns are just going to be retooled blog posts.
After three years of nothing going my way it's nice to have something work out.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
That is awesome, Mandy, congratulations!
I've always said that I thought you ought to write a book - just one step closer to that!

You are a pretty good writer so I'm not surprised. Whenever I refer to you to the man, it's "remember the funeral parking story chick". haha..
Please columnize that story.

I was just telling my mom that I needed to make sure that when I do use that story no one shows my aunt or grandmother.
I can't believe I've never written it down before- it is a classic.
