I Love The Honesty Of New Yorkers.

I Worked At Sears In The Woodfield Mall As A Gift Wrapper. I'm Actually A Great Gift Wrapper, And The Customers Were So Nice To Me. I Was Only 16, And Eventually Sears Put Me In Customer Service Because I Was So Friendly.

I've Taken Salsa Classes. I Love Dancing And I Love To Karaoke. So I Bought A Microphone With Some Tapes And My Son And I Karaoke. I Know The Entire 'dora The Explorer' Soundtrack.

When I Go Back To Family Reunions Everybody Goes, 'hey Cousin! Hey Auntie!' And I'm Like, 'okay I Don't Know You, I Have No Idea Who You Are.' I Am Auntie And Cousin For So Many And Even The Ones In Prison Call Me Collect. And I'll Be Like, 'which Of My Family Members Are Giving You This Phone Number?'

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.

My Mom Passed Away At 41 From Diabetes. And I'm 42, Thank You. I Didn't Want To Do That To My Son. So Any Time I Was At The Gym, That Thing That Helped Me Do That Last Squat Was My Son Calling Some Other Woman Mommy. And That Would Just Give Me That Extra Oomph To Do That Last Squat. I Want To Be Around For Him.
