Author, Ermine Cnningham, ( known to wordpress bloggers as: Ermigal from ‘odds and ends from ermigal) https://ermigal.wordpress.com – has written a wonderful and lively romp, “Pretend You Know What You’re Doing – My Voyage From Teacher to Humor Writer.” In this sweet and funny book, Ermine offers up her tale, a mix of prose and blog posts, chronicling the story of how she grew to be the hilarious and well-rounded, (in a positive Italian way), woman she is today. I was lucky enough to have an early read and am happy to invite you to share in the fun.
Her book is available through amazon.com and erminecunningham.com.
Laugh ‘Til Your Meatballs Fall Apart (My Amazon review below)
Ermine Cunningham, retired teacher, and now, humor writer, and woman of the world, has written this hilarious book that will keep you laughing from beginning to end. She chronicles her bumpy journey, through trial and error, into the worlds of teaching, corporate working, dating, being part of an Italian family and beginning her own family. Once she has mastered all of these, she finds herself in a completely new role, as a retiree, feeling her way through the world of volunteering, blogging, writer’s workshops, salsa dancing, and all sorts of new things. If you’re looking to laugh and to follow a positive and creative woman on her road trip through life, I highly recommend this book. You will not regret a second spent reading it, and you might even learn something, even if it’s just what not to do.

so do I! I ran screaming from teaching myself…I can relate…couldn’t begin dating though because I was married…still am…and I have tried to run screaming from that situation once in awhile…very much once in awhile. oh! oh! but back in my day…girl persons taught and got married to boy persons…it was written somewhere…time warp bible I suppose? do not believe everything you read I guess? in the bible anyway. I am too candid for my own good! ;)
