Read this book. Now.

Let’s make this short and sweet: Go buy this book, read it, thank me later.

Ok ok, you know I can’t leave it at that.

You may remember a couple weeks ago when Jenny and I were at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Miami. I think we might have mentioned it.

You may also remember that as we were standing outside the hotel waiting to go to the Versace Mansion, we just so happened to be standing in the presence of greatness right by Jenny Lawson. The Bloggess. Who totally wrote the funniest book in the history of the world (see above).

Jenny (my Jenny, not the awesome Jenny.) and I were all “OMGgggggggggg, it’s the Bloggess!!!” and I was all “Quick, take my picture!”

Which is how we wound up with this classic piece of photography.

But then, since Rachel is a normal person and all, she was like “Hi I’m Rachel, could we get our picture taken with you?” And so we got another picture with the Bloggess, this time like normal people.

I am really getting away from the point here, people. The point is, this book is freaking hilarious.

Last night I was in bed reading a chapter about Jenny (not my Jenny, the awesome Jenny.) OD’ing on laxatives, and I was cracking up and making such a racket that Andy came running into our room to see what in the holy hell was going on. He said he thought there was an intruder murdering me or something, which is ironic since a good portion of the book is dedicated to the possibility of being attacked by things like zombie cougars.

In other news, I must have a really pleasant laugh.

Seriously, though, I haven’t laughed like that since I saw my own life portrayed on the big screen in the movie “I Love You, Man.”

I am pretty sure this book will out-sell the Bible.

Go buy it. You can thank me later.

  1. But I want to read YOUR copy! You have to let me since you insinuated multiple times in this post that I am not as awesome as the Bloggess. NOW WHO IS GOING TO BELIEVE THAT???
    Hilarious post, cousin! Can’t wait to read it!
    Oh and you’re WELCOME for taking the picture that is surely going to catapult you to superstardom!

  2. OMG, I just read that chapter about ODing on laxatives yesterday too! Sooooo hilarious!

    The other day I was laughing out loud in the dentist office while reading the chapter about working in HR. And of course my super hot dentist walked out right then and wanted to know what I was reading. And then I started rambling about the Bloggess and how hilarious she is and Beyonce the Metal Chicken and he just looked at me like there MUST be something wrong with me.

    But yeah, the book is totally awesome.

  3. I have to read it even though I am OLD. The pic of you is so funny but it doesn’t matter because you look so beautiful in that red dress.

  4. I was reading the SAME part last night!
    I know you are so glad that you met me and I asked like a gawker if we could get a pic…

  5. Wait until you get to the part about the acupuncturist. I was getting a pedicure when I was reading that chapter and I was trying to stifle my laugh, but I was still laughing, and suddenly the nail tech looked up and saw me crying and was all, “ARE YOU OKAY?”

  7. Okay, I laughed out loud twice in this post – which is hard to do when you’re alone, right?

    First, at the pic with the Bloggess in the background, and Emily looking ridiculous, and yet so hot at the same time. It’s a double-win!

    Second, for this: In other news, I must have a really pleasant laugh.

    So so funny post and you’ve convinced me to read the book. Double-win.

    1. Oh no, Aunt Diane, you should know never to take my advice! I am now going to feel personally responsible for destroying your innocence.

      That said, I see a guest post/book review in your future.

  9. Goodness you ladies are just hilarious. I absolutely LOVE reading your blog and you totally convinced me to add this book to my list.
