People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Competitive Crafters, Drop-Off Despots, and Other Suburban Scourges
3 journalers for this copy...
I'd never heard of Jen Mann or her blog before I spotted this at the bookstore, but the title caught my eye for some reason (!) and after picking it up I couldn't resist buying it. I'm not a suburban mom, and never will be...but Jen Mann is a very funny woman. Twisted, but funny: just the way I like 'em.
This book went to lunch at Little Village with TOC and didn't come home with me. Happy reading!

Picked up today at TOC lunch at Du Vin. Thank you!
Jen's a little crazy. But her husband would make me crazy, too. That one essay about wanting to go shopping alone and have him watch the kids made me want to hurt him. Not even punch in the throat pain, baseball bat pain. I think I could laugh at the competitive ballet moms being jerks, but to have one's spouse behave like a selfish, manipulative, irresponsible and oblivious ass would not be funny.
Passing along to fulfill a wish.

Women winds up at the bat,
and whiffs the first time
before sending it out of the park!

(I will be coming back with an opinion when I get the chance)
Well, somehow I wound up with 2 copies of this. And there was someone else that wanted the chance to read it.
So off it goes to make merry! :D
