I was talking to a friend about my family's stories (my mom bellydancing, my dad selling fleet cars to the mob in Boston, my great grandfather getting stranded in England and marrying the lamplighters daughter, my Acadian ancestry dating back the early 1600's and she was asking why I didn't share these stories with you guys. I'm not sure if they would be of interest to you but I can tell you that some of my mothers most scandalous stories have already been used for background characters. If you'd ever like to hear some of these insane family stories, just let me know. It wouldn't be all the time, just every now and again. I come from a long long long line of storytellers and my family has some crazy tales.

Love it! My grandfather drove for Capone for one day. Got a bullet hole in the windshield and noped right out.

I can think of one from my family right off the bat. How my husband and I ended up married. It was, um, well, it sounds like something straight out of fiction. As a teaser, 'our song' is What Did I Do To Deserve This? by the Pet Shop Boys.

We have a sign for our front door that says “Welcome to the Nuthouse” — always gets a giggle from people who visit us for the first time.
