Huh???

When we first signed up with AT&T for our internet my husband and I had the same email address. He likes wrestling while I think of it as a violent bloody soap opera...but I digress. He has since gotten his own email and I am thankful. Today I received an email from TNA that my hubby had subscribed to and scrolled to the bottom to find the unsubscribe link. This is what I found...

Notice "write to"??? Are you kidding me? Who would write to them (wasting money on a stamp, not to mention the time to find a writing utensil, paper and envelope....who uses those things anymore?) to ask to be taken off an email list???? Somehow those 2 words justify my stand on wrestling being ridiculous and inane.

I rest my case.

The Devil in the Junior League

I recently read "The Devil in the Junior League" by Linda Francis Lee.

This is a story about Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware, a 28 year member of the Junior League of Willow Creek. The members are the creme de la creme of Willow Creek and they view themselves as modern day Robin Hoods, schmoozing money out of their husbands to do charity work. Frede (pronounced Freddy) comes from old money and while her husband has the fine old Texas name but no longer has the old Texas money. Frede lets her husband, Gordon, handle "their" money and this leads her into some trouble that results in her having to make a deal to get her new neighbor, Nikki Grout, accepted into the league. Nikki, however is NC (someone with no class) even though she is very rich and is just not socially acceptable.

We follow Frede as her perfect world is turned on end and she finds out that it's ok to let your hair down and be a real person.

This was such an enjoyable book. I could hear Frede's southern drawl and she made me laugh out loud. For example Frede says,"I never could resist a challenge. My mother said it was because I had to have everything my own way. I say what's wrong with having everything my way, as I see it, it's not my job to make anything anyone else's way." This was one of those books I started to get sad with nearing the end, cause I knew the ride would soon be over. I am anxious to find more books by Ms Lee.

I give this a 5 out of 5.

Too much time Saturday

Today I celebrate the people who had so much time on their hands they came up with useless and inane holidays. I know there are some who may throw Valentine's day in that category and while it is purely a holiday for consumerism...I think you will agree that these holidays are just ridiculous. I was inspired by an article I stumbled in Woman's Day and thought I would look for a few of my own (thus confirming I have too much time on my hands).

Today was Proposal Day (get your e-card here) and Alien Abduction Day (article here) and I think as a woman I'm a little insulted these happen on the same day.

March 21 is Fragrance Day and the 22nd is National Goof Off Day...(I vote we have this holiday more than once a year..I will take it as a monthly or weekly holiday if at all possible, thank you)

March 23rd is National Clean Your Home Office Day and National Chip and Dip Day...I celebrate the latter one quite often. March 24th is National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day.

I am personally looking forward to March 27th which is National "Joe" Day. This is the day where you get to be Joe for the day.

Apparently there is practically a holiday on everyday! If you check out Bizarre American Holidays or Holiday Insights if you would like to find out more weird holidays.

How to Lose a Client

I just finished How to Lose a Client by Becky A. Bartness.

This is a story about Kate Williams, a lawyer who has recently moved to Phoenix and started her own criminal defense law firm. As Kate is at the salon, she meets Tuwanda, a lady who works for Pole Polishers Inc. Tuwanda's boss, Tangerine, is looking for a new lawyer to represent her, her business and her employees. Kate passes her business card to Tuwanda and she soon finds herself on retainer. Tangerine leaves a thumb drive of delicate information with Kate and then seems to disappear. Kate then finds herself with hair dyed Bozo red, kidnapped more than once and responsible for a an older homeless guy who thinks she is his adoptive mother...you thought you had bad days.


I haven't had so much fun reading a book since Janet Evanovich. It has been a long time since I have picked up a book and could not put it down.
I have been trying to find an author like Ms Bartness and this happens to be the third in a series. I cannot wait to go back and read How to Ruin a Vacation and How to Lose a Job and I am anxiously awaiting what befalls this great character in the future. If you love Janet Evanovich as much as I do you will LOVE Becky A Bartness...this is a must read!

I give this a 5 out of 5!!! LOVE IT!!
