Book Review
About two months ago, I was contacted to review a book "Peanut Butter, Playdates, & Prozac: Tales from a Modern Mom" written by Arlene Schusteff.
It is a highly amusing and very well written, easy read. I found myself outright laughing, especially when I read "Never in a million years did I think I would ever..." and "My Porn". I too obsess over enjoy perusing through decorating catalogs. I have little piles of them stacked around my house, hoping to one day be able to think to myself "What would happen if I had a need for overly priced and completely outrageous and unnecessary bedding set with optional bed pillows and matching curtains! If only I had a decorating catalog (or twelve) available!"
Heh. Right.
Like I always say, Nordstrom taste on a Walmart budget.
And, in Schusteff's chapter on "Mommy Speak", I have personally said at least six out of the nine sentences, and meant it. Of course "He has so much energy" (usually accompanied with a weak smile) translates into "He's such a wild animal".
So, I am strongly suggesting that all you parents get out there and purchase this book. It's a great read. Thank you Arlene for the opportunity to preview this book. I truly enjoyed it!

I always say I have very good taste when I see something I like and it costs and arm and a leg LOL I like how you said it though, perfect.
Have a good day!
