I have just read a great book by author Laurie Notaro. The book is titled The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life. I was laughing out loud reading this book and feeling the need to call people to read them the hilarious stories. This book is full of short stories that all of us can relate to in one way or another. Here is a little bit from one of my favorite stories called The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
"The Ugly Friends never get the attention that their Pretty Friends get. No boys ever want to know where the Ugly Friends are (at the Ugly Friends' Clubhouse, of course, where we watch endless episodes of the Golden Girls , eat troughs of cheesecake, and then try on girdles), but the boys will always ask the Ugly Friends, 'Hey, where's your Pretty Friend _____?' to which I always want to answer, 'In the hospital having some additonal plasitc surgery. Don't tell me you thought that perky nose was real?' "
Lauri Notaro has quite a few books out which I am sure are just as good. I ordered all of them for my mom for Christmas.
I have been working on this darn blanket since OCTOBER!!! This was a Christmas present for my very patient sister. I ended up wrapping it up for her showing her the blanket and then taking it back so I can finish it. I got excited about getting started on it and didn't read the title of the pattern before I started otherwise I would have noticed that it said that it was a throw. If I wanted to make her a throw then I would be done by now! Luckily she is moving into a new apartment so I can give it to her for a house warming gift :) It has been around for a while now so it may be hard to part with. At least I know it will be going to a new home.
We have a new tiny addition to our family. Her name is Maebe, she is an itty bitty Morkie (Maltese and Yorkie). She has an older sister to, who is not quite sure how she feels about the spunky little puppy. Her sister is Cleo and 100 lb gorgeous Great Pyrenees.
