I loved this book so much when I spotted a copy on my library sale shelf and bought it to share with the world.

Description: She thought she’d have more time. Laurie Notaro figured she had at least a few good years left. But no–it’s happened. She has officially lost her marbles. From the kid at the pet-food store checkout line whose coif is so bizarre it makes her seethe “I’m going to kick his hair’s ass!” to the hapless Sears customer-service rep on the receiving end of her Campaign of Terror, no one is safe from Laurie’s wrath. Her cranky side seems to have eaten the rest of her–inner-thigh Chub Rub and all. And the results are breathtaking.

I first read this book back in 2008. These are my comments from that initial JE:
I feel like Notaro is one of my girlfriends. When reading her words, I feel like I’m having a girl’s night out and I’m just laughing so hard that the tears are running down my face. Notaro’s humor speaks for itself as she talks about her ebay perils, “There should be an eBay wading pool, where you only get to bid on Precious Moments figurines and Avon products, and you have to make it though that first before jumping into the deep end.” Simply stated, if you need a good laugh read Notaro. (Not for the faint of heart.)

Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

This book is now traveling with several others to the winner of my Birthday Bookbox RABCK, minesayin. I hope you enjoy!

I love Laurie Notaro's humorous memoirs. They make me laugh out loud at inappropriate times like on a commuter bus and everyone stares at you. Then on the couch with hubby who looks at me, I read out loud, then explain and still get the crazy woman look. Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

Received in the mail with thanks to dvg...I'm blown away by this package of this and the other books, the note, and bookmark. Looking forward to reading them all.

Hope your birthday was just grand. Thank you again.

And I thought I might be the dorkiest girl alive...well, can't wait to find out.

A series of essays, written in a humorous style, about observations and foibles the author experiences. Using many cultural references to get her ideas across, the essays range from dealing with drivers to the ridiculousness of cloning cats to her painting class. Many of them are laugh-out-loud funny, and boy, did I chuckle often during reading the various essays.

Never having read her before, I realize she writes more than just hilarious essays. I may check one of her novels just to see a different style of writing.
