My pal Jen

OK.

Jennifer Lancaster isn't really my pal. But I wish she was.

Some authors, you identify with them because you see yourself in their writing.

Jennifer loves fashion and expensive shoes & handbags and took in a pitbull & another dog & the Thundercats and loves Chicago and got married in Vegas and stays up-to-date on reality TV and is a widely published, wildly popular author.

She? Is not me.

I do not see myself in the pages of her (hilarious, fantastic) books.

Except for the wine-loving, foul-mouthed, overweight Republican part (bless her!), I am nothing like Jennifer. 

But oh - how I'd dearly, dearly love to have her as a friend.
