"Sometimes all you need is some #metime and a martini." ~ Tamara There's no manual for life, you just work your way through it. I have been struggling with work, home, school, peri-menopause, kids' activities, surgery, holidays, you name it. All these things take a toll on your body, mind and spirit. I try to keep it all together and juggle everything to make it work. But sometimes I get stressed. It's hard for some folks to understand what I am talking about when I express myself. That's when I pick up my pen and paper and write. This is my second book and I must admit writing based on my daily experiences was helpful, eye opening, and some days disappointing. Fortunately, I can go to my favorite place for adult beverages and simply say, I'll Have a Martini, Please! This book is a collection of my thoughts, ideas, #hashtags about various issues and poetry about my feelings and favorite things. I'll Have a Martini, Please! offers my view on everything from marriage and motherhood, my 'obsession for Ben & Jerry's ice cream', my love for music-wigs-red roses, and concerns about sharing personal information in the workplace. I'll Have a Martini, Please! is honest, pure and simple words from my heart.
