I now enjoy posting about my most embarrassing life moments. Ha ha. Ten years ago I'd have crawled off to a corner in shame. <br />Good for you on lightening up and having fun.

Although, I admit, I've secretly wondered if you're an editor, so there is that professional veneer. High five on discovering more whimsy to life than you thought.

My brother has asked me whether I'm the same girl who grew up with him and our parents--I went from London Mum to part-time cowgirl (or so I wish).
