I am more of a laugher than a crier, but when I do cry it isn't pretty at all. Not only do I get puffy, my nose starts running but I end up banging my feet on the floor trying to stop myself. I know that sounds pretty weird, and believe me when I say it doesn't work but I end up doing it anyway.<br /><br />I also cry over the stupidest things, a hallmark commercial, a song on the radio, a really good book or a tearjerker of a movie. <br /><br />I wish I was a two tissue person but man I end up with half the box in my lap,lol. Also I sometimes end up laughing at myself, especially when somebody else is laughing at me to begin with.<br /><br />Great blog as usual! Can't wait to read Gotcha, just gotta get through this dang Western Lit class first.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325819500192262854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-53560697764572541702009-06-02T21:24:47.590-05:002009-06-02T21:24:47.590-05:00Martha!

Or I love to sit, read a really touching book between wiping my eyes and blowing my red nose.

I was showing The Dollmaker to my 8th grade (lots of time to kill....and in my defense it does show farmers moving to cities in the 40s...I'll try to justify it as true social studies). Anyway, the train runs over the kid in the movie and I starting sobbing. Twenty kids turned to look at my like I had sprouted another head.

My daughter Amanda is a very big cryer to the point of embarrassement (for her). She went to see Marley and Me and cried so hard at the end (really loud guffaw type cries) that several people around her were concerned. haha<br /><br />Best of luck with the book signings!Terri Molinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684929235647584445noreply@blogger.com
