I asked her how she liked The Actor and the Housewife (I ask a lot of people what they think of that one because the opinions on it seem to be very polarized) and she said she didn't really like it. Her explanation was that she knows what life is like as a Mormon housewife so she doesn't like to read about them. I found that pretty interesting. I'm sure she wasn't saying that her life sucks but she is doesn't want to read anything that reminds her of her own life.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585721638280496666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-85191490846482498682010-02-26T06:14:06.501-07:002010-02-26T06:14:06.501-07:00That quote made me a little uncomfortable because ...That quote made me a little uncomfortable because there is a bit of truth to it in my case, but as with most of us, that's not the whole uh, story.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-63321172816740804222010-02-25T22:43:36.167-07:002010-02-25T22:43:36.167-07:00Hello Suey..
