    This book is effing amazing.  It pays all due respect to Austen, and still manages to be hilarious.  LOVE.

    Happy Crazy American Holiday Weekend!

    Since I know there are several of you Canadians, Australians, Brits and others out there who will not be celebrating the 4th of July, I just decided to call this whole weekend, "Crazy American Holiday" weekend. 

    And you Americans can't deny the crazy!!  How many stories do you think we'll hear this weekend of people blowing their fingers off with fireworks, of drunken fights at celebrations, or grilling accidents?  I actually completely avoid Columbus' downtown area for three whole days because of what I call the "mountain people".  Now, we don't have mountains in Columbus, but I have lived in places that have had mountains, and every place has the type of people that you can only call "mountain people".  You know, those poor souls who decide to come out of hiding down to the "big city" in celebration, and really, all they do is sport mullets, look lost and mess up traffic?  Yeah, I can't do it...it's not worth my sanity.

    But I digress...

    What are you doing this weekend?

    Ha! Oh Red, you make me laugh so hard when you write things like "mountain people." I totally agree with you. Here in Nashville it is just as hellish because a lot of mounties and REDnecks come out and you know how it gets. Especially with the mullets. Have a great weekend.
