Quips and quotes from the author
 


On coping:

"Strong faith and a sense of humor are essential if you want to stay sane -- or at least if you want to APPEAR sane."

On being a grandmother:
"Being a grandma is great! I love carrying pictures where my money used to be. My grandson is the light of my life. He's God's reward for not killing my son."

On getting older:
"Many famous people accomplished great things in their old age. Take George Burns for instance. I want to be like him. He lived to be 100 and stayed funny right up to the end. I can do that. People say I’m pretty funny when I simultaneously sneeze and wet my pants."

On weight:
"I’ve been on a diet since the seventh grade and I’ve lost the same 30 pounds approximately sixty-seven times. If I hadn’t gained them all back, I’d be small enough now to travel in the glove compartment of my car and take a bath in the cup holder."

"I really need to lose weight. I want to know how it feels to bend over without feeling as if my intestines are being pushed out my ears."

On marriage:
"After thirty years of marriage, the husband and I get along better now than we used to. We’re both too old and tired to throw knick knacks, furniture, or appliances at each other anymore."

"Spouses are a lot like habits. Sometimes you need to kick them."


On life:
"My dog and I have a lot in common. Neither of us relishes what is nutritious, and we both occasionally eat till we’re sick. I, however, do not gobble food whole or throw up twice my body weight – in bed. Neither do I stubbornly plant myself under the dining room table while whining, yipping, and drooling throughout the meal. I also refuse to ingest paper plates, and I would never curl up on dirty underwear and nibble on my husband’s feet."

"If snoring were a competitive sport, I could win trophies. The husband says it sounds like I sleep with three kazoos up my nose, and the racket blows his toupee off."

On writing:
"I enjoyed writing this book because it took me away from the drudgery of cooking and cleaning, which I’ve successfully avoided for more than three years. It’s my first book, but several of my other writings already appear on restroom walls across the country."

"Please buy my book. I need the money so I can send large donations annually to the Foundation for Cognitively Challenged and Abandoned Toy Poodles with Personality Disorders and Bladder Control Problems. That’s where I got my dog."
