Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Marry Me, Marie Kondo, Jan Marshall

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Just kidding. I do not want a permanent relationship with the lovely, gentle, efficient de-cluttering guru of "Tidying Up" fame, but I do want her to move into my home for a long duration. I would have written to her earlier, but I could not find my desk. I know it is in my office.
