then I had the excellent idea that no matter how things work out I can probably write a book about the experience. I think an account of the adventures of a midwestern Mom bibliophile birkenstock wearing type turned stiletto-wearing-flashy-Corvette-convertible-riding-in- watching-the-back-of-giant-dark-and-handsome-dice-roller would sell quite nicely to the women's book group set.
You must read the book "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm about a quarter into it and am fascinated. It's a true story about this woman having a marital crisis, who then finds her spiritual side and then goes off to travel for a year. She is a writer by profession and has an amusing, breezy style that is really entertaining.
