GIRLFRIEND-STYLE INTERVIEW WITH CYNDY
How many days do you wear your blue jeans before they go in the laundry?
Jeans are so much more comfortable on the second day. Plus, laundry is the bane of my existence. I am always behind. My only solace comes from Gen 2:25, "They were naked and not ashamed."
How many sizes of clothing do you have in your closet? In storage?
I sometimes think I should have those little size rings in my closet 8, 10, 12, "none of your business."
What is your comfort food?
My mom's fried chicken and cream gravy. Especially in the summer when she serves it with homegrown tomatoes, green beans fresh from the garden and creamy mashed potatoes. Maybe this is why I should have those size rings in my closet...
White chocolate? Milk chocolate? Dark chocolate?
Definitely dark chocolate now that researchers say it is a "super food" that's better for you than blueberries. Plus I just found out that Harry & David sells dark-chocolate-covered blueberries. I can just feel the vitamins coursing through my body when I pop one of those babies into my mouth.
What's your favorite mode of communication? E-mail, Instant Message, Land Line Phone, Cell Phone, Old-Fashioned Snail Mail Letter?
I adore receiving a snail mail note or letter. There's something special about seeing someone's handwriting and knowing they took the time to write and post a letter. However, thoughtless person that I am, I always use email.
What's your idea of a day of relaxation?
Massage. Pedicure. Lunch. Movie. Bath. Bed. Ahhh...
When you are stressed, who's the first person you call?
I have this reminder on my fridge... "Go to the throne before you go to the phone." But I usually call my hubby at work to whine - unless it's Friday. Then I can make it to 4:30 and whine to my FAC friends.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
My husband and son's channel surfing. I want to scream, "Just make a decision and stick with it!"
Who would play you in the Cyndy Salzmann Movie of the Week?
My friend Marilyn recently told me that my new hairstyle makes me look like Renée Zellweger. (Marilyn is now my very favorite friend.) So, I guess I'd have to let Renee at least audition for the part...
If you could do one thing over in life, what would it be?
Work less. Play more. That is so shallow...

I'm reading this book now! I'll have to come back to read your Girlfriend interview and the whole post! Got to rush off.
Great interview! I enjoyed learning more about Cyndy. That brownie recipe sounds delicious. I will have to try it out. Brownies are my favorite dessert.
Cherie Japp
enter me! but did you mean april 27? because may 27 is a sunday :)
Thanks for picking that up, Deb! April it is so I have changed the post!
Rel, you should do more girlfried-style interviews. That was fascinating, funny....I dunno, it just tickled my sticky-nose fancy!
Could you enter me in the draw too please? It sounds like a great read.
Any suggetions for becoming more organised are welcome. Enter me cos I'd love to read it.
I agree!!!! Anything about clutter must be good. Shame we can't enter the other comp, I could really use some more organisation around here!
Thanks everyone - you are in!
Can you put me in too please Rel. I need to de-clutter!!!!
I just love Friday Afternoon Club Mysteries. Can you enter me pls?
I heard this book includes some fun recipes. How cool is that?
What a fun interview! Cyndy definitely has her way with words. Just curious, what's your day job Cyndy? a clutter consultant?
Can I still enter? I'd really love a copy of that book.
Gorgeous cover! Did you get an artist for that Cyndy?
Hi Sheina, Sherlyn, Kimberlee, Leif and Shy Writer - thanks for stopping by :) Hope you drop by again soon!
Just wanted to stop by and thank you all for your kind comments! It's such fun to read your posts. I wish I could have you all over for Friday afternoon Club at my house next week. I hope to one of these days figure out how to do a chat and hold a virtual FAC!
Now, to answer your questions...
Shy -- the cover was done by my publisher (Howard Books/Simon & Schuster)so I can't take any credit for it. I know they went through several versions before they were happy. I also think they did a nice job. : )
Kimberlee -- you asked about my "day job." I am one of the lucky ones who gets to write between driving carpool and making dinner. Unfortunately, this leaves the laundry undone. I've had lots of different jobs in the past from news reporter to christian morning show co-host to pr consultant to professional organizer. I also do quite a bit of speaking to women's groups and teach cooking classes. Never a dull moment at my house!
As far as organizing advice and recipes, I'd love for you to all sign up for my free ezine -- Home Matters. I have lots of fun putting it together with my favorite home management tips and easy recipes. I like to be domestic as long as it isn't hard. : ) You can sign up at my website www.cyndysalzmann.com.
Again, great to "meet" you all! let's stay in touch! Hugs from Nebraska, Cyndy
