If yall are headed to the pool or just lying around on the couch in the A/C and want a hootie summer read, pick up "Jeneration X" by Jen Lancaster. The subtitle is "One reluctant adult's attempt to unarrest her arrested development, or why it's never to late for her dumb ass to learn why Froot Loops are not for dinner." Can you tell already that it's FUNNY??!! I was reading about her trip to the Banana Derby at the county fair yesterday while I was doing plasma, and I nearly jostled the needle out of my arm I was laughing so hard. This Banana Derby has actual monkeys in jockey costumes riding on saddled dogs chasing a banana around the track!! I would love to have seen that sight. I am a monkey lover anyway, then you throw in jockey outfits and dogs and I am in high heaven. And yes, she checked it out first and the entire thing was done totally humanely. She said the monkeys had huge smiles on their faces from having so much fun riding! And Jen and her posse's exploits at sampling food from every fair booth -- and the not-so-fun after effects -- had me rolling. I waited forever to get my copy from the library, but it was well worth the wait and I'm not even finished with it yet. So give it a read and have yourself some hearty laughs!
Would love to hear what yall are reading these days. I'll need another good book to tear into in no time, so give a comment and tell me something else fun to read. Have a crrr-azy hot hootie day everyone!!
