Sometimes we just aren’t cheerful. And those that are get on our nerves. Sometimes we just feel like flops in every area of our lives. I do—a lot.

Many of the songs on this album were written when I felt the most worthless. If you get to feeling that way, maybe this album will bring you some comfort. Maybe even some chuckles and hope. If not, please pass it on to someone who feels more toad-like than you. — Carolyn Wing Greenlee
