From the bestselling, award-winning author of You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start In The Morning, comes another collection of hilarious observations that will resonate with women, mothers, and girlfriends everywhere

In her newest wickedly irreverent humor collection, Celia Rivenbark cracks up while getting her downward facing dog on, pines for a world in which every mom gets to behave like Betty Draper and wonders why everybody's so excited about the Science Fair when there aren't even any rides. In it you'll find essays on such topics as:
- Menopause Spurs Thoughts of Death and Turkey
- I Dreamed a Dream That My Lashes Were Long
- Twitter Woes: I've Got Plenty of Characters, Just No Character
- Movie To-Do List: Cook Like Julia, Adopt Really Big Kid
- Charlie Bit Your Finger? Good
- And other thoughts on the virus that is YouTube
- And much more

And much more For any woman who longs for the good old days when Jane Fonda in legwarmers was the only one who saw you exercise, YOU DON'T SWEAT MUCH FOR A FAT GIRL is comfort food in book form.

I absolutely love this shirt!
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Blue
Although loved the way the shirt looked on Amazon, I only ordered one just in case it wasn’t true to size or it just felt cheap. Well I couldn’t have been further from the truth. This shirt was better than I expected so needless to say, I will be ordering a few more in different colors. I am totally impressed with this shirt and glad I tried it.! Thanks

You’ll love it!
I love this shirt! As someone who is particular about their appearance, I found this shirt to be just as advertised. I am 6ft, 175lbs with a fit body. This shirt fits perfectly, looks nice and comes in great colors. The fit, value and quality make a great purchase. I immediately ordered three additional colors! Well done!!

Fabric it's a SEE THROUGH. Stay away.
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Blue
It looks fragile, and worst of it all, the fabric its a see through. Literally. You can not use it without some t-shirt beneath unless you wanna walk out there showing your chest and back. I understand it won't last long, 'cause of the thin fabric it is made of. I was planning to return it but it is not worth the trouble. Once I'm done with it I don't even think it would be a good cleaning cloth. Very disappointed. Stay away
