I Can't Swim And I'm Terrified Of

When I Planned My Wedding The First Time, My Ex-husband And I, We Were Both Struggling Comics. I Had A Tv Show That Had Gotten Cancelled. Basically, I Rented A Wedding Gown; The Reception Hall Smelled Like Feet.

I Think It's Harder To Forgive Ourselves For Mistakes That We Made Because We Keep Dwelling On It. We Want To Know How It Affects Other People, If They Liked Us For It, If They Didn't Like Us. I Think We Stress Over It, We Replay It In Our Mind. It Becomes An Old Tape That Years Later We Continue To Play It In Our Mind.

Wigs Have Always Been A Part Of My Life And Have Become A Staple Accessory In My Closet. I Can Remember Being A Little Girl And Hearing All The Commotion In My House From My Mom, Aunts And Grandmother When Picking Out Their Wigs For The Day. It Was Such A Good Time For Them And Part Of Their Everyday Beauty Routine.

I Am A Type-2 Diabetic, And They Took Me Off Medication Simply Because I Ate Right And Exercised. Diabetes Is Not Like A Cancer, Where You Go In For Chemo And Radiation. You Can Change A Lot Through A Basic Changing Of Habits.

With Me Being In So Many Pain From When You Have A Betrayal From Your Best Friend - Who Was My Husband - And The Girl Got Pregnant, I Couldn't Even Get Out Of Bed. The Only Thing That Saved Me Was My Stand-up. I Would Get On Stage And Just Talk About Stuff, And I Made People Laugh. A Lot Of Women E-mail Me And Say, 'how Do You Smile? How Do You Laugh At Something Like This?' That's How I Do It. I Laugh Because That's How I Get Through Pain.
