I just turned in my latest book entitled, Christmas Sucks! Every time I turn in a book, I get so giddy. When I first started writing it months ago, I never imagined I’d be able to meet the word count (40,000 words), let alone have enough to say. But as I started writing it, the book just wrote itself. There were plenty of topics and oodles of jokes. I haven’t been this excited about a book since Pregnancy Sucks! It comes out in October and I think it’ll make a great pre-stocking stuffer for anyone who’s stressed out about the holidays. As it gets closer to December, I’ll post the introduction on this site. No use now since Christmas just ended and the next big holiday is Martin Luther’s birthday…not an occasion to deal with crowded malls, entertain in-laws, or sit on the lap of a jolly man dressed in a red suit with more pee stains than the sidewalks of South Central LA!

Being Overweight Sucks
January 14, 2008 · 1 Comment
How long am I entitled to say “I just had a baby” to rationalize the fact that I still wear transitional pants? My daughter is 9…years that is, not months. Does that still qualify? I figure 9 years isn’t much when compared to how long ago dinosaurs roamed the planet, so I think I can still get away with it. But I am getting tired of seeing my pre-pregnancy clothes mock me from the back of my closet. That’s why I did what Kirsty and Valerie and many others have done before me, and I called Jenny Craig. This is day 3 and so far, so good. I’m not hungry, the food’s pretty good, and it’s premade so I don’t have to fix myself a separate meal. I already have to fix one meal for my husband (a meat and potato guy) and for my daughter (a pasta and more pasta kind of gal), so it makes my life easier. And who knows, after a few months, maybe I can finally get those clothes to shut up!
