Pretend You're Normal

Book by Baumgardner, Ann Weimer

I'm a daydreamer; I spend at least thirty minutes a day doing absolutely everything. When people ask what I do, I have a little trouble answering because I've been on Oprah and I've danced with Ellen. I've sat with presidents and have given them a piece of my mind. As a child, I delivered speeches that brought world peace and tears to my eyes, all while I was supposed to be making my bed. When you've met with world leaders and dined with celebrities and it's not even 7 a.m., it gives you a sense of reckless confidence that extrapolates into your daily reality. My real life is just as hiccuppy as my day-dreamed one. I've sold waterbeds, cleaned a mausoleum, and taught biology. I'm a public speaker, an inventor, and a molecular geneticist. I'm a mom, sister, daughter, wife, aunt, and friend. I worked for Procter & Gamble developing new ideas for diapers, and I'm the Christian Educator for Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church. Oh, I almost forgot; I'm also a part-time office manager, and maybe now, a writer.
