An Idiot Girl’s Christmas

From the title, you’d think this was a book about me. Instead, An Idiot Girl’s Christmas is a book about Laurie Notaro, and her “misadventures”. It’s classic Notaro, i.e., it’s really funny, and all the (true) stories have a holiday theme. Each of the 13 chapters is a stand-alone essay, although 4 of the chapters were featured in Notaro’s earlier books. They’re worth reading again, though… Laurie Notaro’s story of her relationship with the two little girls who live down the street (in the house with the old sofa and washing machine on the lawn), is one of the funniest things I’ve read in years, and I was happy to have the chance to read it again. It’s not a long or overly complicated book, but would be a great gift for the busy person who needs a good chuckle. Buy a copy today and ensure that both you and Laurie Notaro have a merry Christmas!

About Me

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I think a day without Starbucks is a day without sunshine (there are no Tim Hortons here, so I make do with what I've got). I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I'm a veterinary technology student at Penn Foster, and I'm the Director of Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary. I bottle-feed lots of kittens, and try to find homes for society's less fortunate felines. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm actively seeking work, and specialize in Internet/social media marketing (but I don't blog about it). My background is in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024 in IE, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
