I will say right off... I adore Celia Rivenbark. I want to be her best friend.
She is me, but public. The things that come out of her mouth on paper are the same thoughts that are constantly twirling through my head, but I'm too chicken to say. We're alike in that we try our darndest to be polite, civilized Southern ladies and them bamm.... language that might make a trucker blush shoots out our mouths before we can stop it.
So when Celia had a new book coming out, I immediately pre-ordered it. I waited with anticipation to get my hands on "Skank."
Am I glad I did.
My hubby and kids kept asking me why I was snorting so unladylike while reading this book and making those maniac laughing sounds.
Celia's book basically consists of chapters that are longer than her columns, but written in the same way. They are to the point, very witty, extremely observant, humerous stories relating to trying to get by in today's society without killing your children, burning down the house trying to be crafty, acting like one who no one wants to be near, or just flat being put away before you hurt someone.
She talks about little girl fashion, diets, celebrities, Ebay and anything else that pops into her mind. I shudder just thinking about the poor woman in the orange stretchpants at the Bi-Lo. Bless her heart.
So if you want a big dose of humor in your day, grab a copy of this, or any of Celia's books, and sit down for an afternoon of enjoyment. I'll warn you though... don't try to drink a carbonated beverage while reading, it truly does hurt when it shoots out your nose because you start laughing too hard.
