Hi, Ice!
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Our wings are not tired.

Because books.
I'm having a really hard time not singing, "Ice, ice, baby," under my breath. Just FYI.

My real name is Cindy. You already had one of those when I registered, so I used my dog's name because I was feeling uninspired and she was in my line of sight. The other choices were "Pile o' Papers" or "Things I Do Not Want to Do Today."
I'm 43, a stay at home mom in Northern Virginia who may one day get back to a writing and editing career. Job hunting sucks. Serial commas rock. I have no plans to try muffeletta (dislike olives).
I have never supported you in e-mail. I have supported some of you in bookstores. You return the favor by tempting me with mentions of even more cool books and TV shows. Unfortunately my DVR is 71 percent full and rising and my to-read pile overflows two large bookcases. Sometimes I decide to unsubscribe so you don't tempt me any more.

“Not dead yet!”
Hiya Ice
(And now has to fight urge to wander off muttering "Ice, ice, baby." Thanks Amy.)

Weirdo.

Damn straight.
doubts about what I'd add to the conversation
Come on, Ice. You seem cool.
(Ba dum, bum.)

My sister!
Wait. My age, a stay-at-home mom who writes and edits ... Are you sure you're not me? Or maybe I'm you? Either way, welcome! And feel free to post more!
