We're Just Like You, Only Prettier (Celia Rivenbark)This is an awesome collection of sarcastic essays, written about everyday life...she covers everything from southern beauty pageant contestants, to giving birth, to reality television. Here are a few of the essay titles, just to give you an idea of the material:
*Sorry, I can't make it to the recital, I'm planning to poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick that night.
*Your kid's fever's so high, the others are standing around her with marshmallows on sticks.
*SUV's eat the ozone? Hey, we all gotta eat something and I got 27 cupholders.
The author had won me over when I realized that she & I had the same birth plan. She states in the book that her birth plan read as such: "Drugs. Lots of 'em and keep 'em coming".
A woman after my own heart.
