Shock the Monkey

*BOOK CLUB UPDATE: I’m gathering all of your e-mail addresses (and holy, uh, HELL, there are a lot of you. Which: HOORAY!) and will send an update next week. If you don’t hear from me individually yet, please don’t panic! I’m just looking into the best way to manage this so that we all get something out of it. So far, there are several really good options.
Happy reading! (And no, our first book isn’t The Historian. I promise. It’s Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue,” of course.)
(I KID. And that joke was Jennie’s, not mine, but AHOY did it make me laugh laugh laugh.)
So, what’s new with you? Not much here, except that I goatse’d half the Internet by mentioning it on Twitter, and let me just state for the record for all of you who do not yet know what it is: It is a photo of the inside of a man’s anus. There you go. People used to do it the way they were Rickrolling for a while, and apparently it’s gone so far out of vogue (I think it started in 1999?) that no one is even doing it anymore, and there is an ENTIRE NEW GENERATION OF PEOPLE who have yet to be goatse’d. Well, worry not, I took care of them. Everyone has been goatse’d! My work here is done.
Next up: Two girls, one cup! Tubgirl hidden in a bit.ly address promising cupcakes and happy times!
Secondly, have you seen this sketch from Saturday’s SNL? I know I already talked about the episode and, uh, young lad Lautner, but you should know that almost four days later, I am STILL quoting this bad boy, and just now, as I entered my house, I announced, “DING DONG! Hanukkah house! HALLO!”
Also, related to nothing, my kid has super-curly hair and I … don’t. Like, not even a little. And I have NO IDEA how to take care of it. She came by it honestly, as her father, grandmother and aunt (all three of whom she resembles more than her mother) have seriously kinky hair. As does she. Exhibit A:
Taken just after a bath. Ignore bizarre deer-in-headlights expression.
And finally, and the real purpose for this whole post, hence the fluff (PUN INTENDED), Jennie and I were discussing the idea of starting a book club on Twitter today, and then we mentioned maybe we should do an ONLINE book club and then approximately ELEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE were all, OH YES, PLEASE and then we thought, hm! Why not? We can DO this shit, yo!
Anyone is welcome to join, whether you’re a blogger or, uh, Tweeter (Twitterer?) or anything. You need nothing but yourself, yo.
So the next step is, if you’re interested, please leave me a comment or drop me an e-mail at jonniker AT gmail DOT com or do the same to Jennie, and we’ll figure out how to proceed with our first book. We may divide into smaller groups or we may be the world’s largest online book club. The world is our Historian. (OH HA HA HA PAGE 350 BITCHES. HALFWAY THERE.)
Happy Wednesday!

I love book clubs. Let’s do this shit.
2. velocibadgergirl | December 15th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Count me in, though I may be delayed a bit
Your adorably cheeky child’s hair looks like mine…my advice, fwiw:
Bangs are probably a bad, bad, omgverybad idea unless she wants to spend a lot of time straightening them.
When she gets older, find a good conditioner, especially if she’s prone to frizz. A good conditioner could’ve saved me years of hating my hair in middle school and high school.
If you want the curls to stay curly and not frizz out, don’t comb them while they’re dry. I comb before I shower, and never ever after. This allows the curls to stay in their natural shape, while combing them when dry seems to separate the hair so that each hair strand wants to curl by itself, resulting in Poodle Hair.

2girls 1cup FTMFW. Or total fail, depending on your perspective. I wanna be in a club! For books! I just read Push and OMG.
I am a curly-haired lass if you have any questions. I didn’t figure out my hair until I was in my late 20′s. Parenting Fail. I second what velocibadgergirl says, plus consider washing only every few days if her hair is dry.
4. CathyHW | December 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Oh my goodness! I would love to be a part of the bookclub!
5. MauraLessa | December 15th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Also in for book club. She just gets cuter and cuter! And does not look like a diaper flinger. So innocent, that face! you totally didn’t ask for advice, but I would let her curls grow. I looked like a little boy forever because my mom always kept my curls short.
6. daysgoby | December 15th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Ooh! Let me in! That way I could claim all the reading I’m doing is for a reason (versus avoiding housework and making dinner)
7. Angella | December 15th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
You already know that I’m interested, but I need to comment on the loveliness that is Sam.
(Also. I told Kerri this already, but I can’t see that clip because I’m in Canada. OUR COUNTRIES NEED TO MAKE PEACE. On the Internet, at least.)
8. Megan | December 15th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I’m in for the book club! Fun!
9. Sam | December 15th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Ding dong! Holla! OMG. Going to watch again. Thanks for putting this in mah brain.
10. Nicole | December 15th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
After the goatse and the 2girls1cup discussion, I’m sort of glad I’m in Canada and Hulu videos don’t play here.
And I read the Historian ages ago. And it took me forever – it’s really good though, if you can keep the three (or is it four?) different storylines straight. I fear for the movie.
And I’m in on the book club. I have $20 to burn at the iTunes store and an app that lets me read books on my iPod touch. So fire away. Especially since in January I’ll be taking this course and my reading material for that is all about public sector financial management (exciting, yes? The instructor is an accountant too)
11. aly | December 15th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
i would totally be interested in an internet book club!!! please keep me posted!!!
ps. is it wrong to be totally jealous of your daughter’s hair?! omg, LOVE.
12. susie | December 15th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
book club me, stat – i’m about to move to a small town in the pacific northwest at the beginning of winter. i’ll have time, and plenty of it.
13. Nicole | December 15th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
And I have no advice on the curly hair, but the Poptart’s hair is looking kind of frizzy and I suspect she’s going to have her dad’s curly hair. So I’m reading the comments.
14. Amy | December 15th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Sign me up for book club! I’ll promise to read about half the books discussed. At least that is what I do for my in real life book club. And go for the wine too.
15. Jen | December 15th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
oooh I’m definitely interested in the Book Club thing! More info please
16. Sam | December 15th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I’m a total sucker for a book club! Especially an online one. Can’t wait to see what is chosen…especially as today is my birthday and I got TWO book store gift cards in the mail. I am rich, bitch! in books, that is.
17. Allison | December 15th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
I want to be in your book club!
Ugh, I sympathize with Sam’s future hair woes when she gets older and doesn’t understand why her hair isn’t all flat and shiny and straight like all the other girls. Get you some Johnson’s detangling spray. It will cut down on the screaming when you comb her hair.
18. Tutugirl | December 15th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Promise me you won’t ever take a brush to her hair. Twenty years later I’m STILL scarred by the comments I got because my mother couldn’t deal with my curly hair. My own teachers would make fun of me!
19. Mama Bub | December 15th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
I’m totally in for the book club!
Also, my son has curly hair and two and a half years later I’ve figured out something that works and is super easy. We use Johnson and Johnson leave in conditioner/detangler. It has a heavenly clean smell and I don’t have to actually brush it, which he hates. I can just work the detangler through, scrunch the curls with my fingers and we’re done. You might end up wanting something more than that when she’s older and expects some sort of style, and then, I’ll be no help.
20. Angela | December 15th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I’m in for the book club! Will be a way to start exercising my brain again now that my daughter has turned 1.
21. Cara | December 15th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
I have wavy hair and did not know how to deal with it until my early twenties when I stumbled upon the Bible. Curly Girl, by Lorraine Massey. http://www.amazon.com/Curly-Girl-Lorraine-Massey/dp/0761123008/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260935628&sr=8-1
It has changed my life.
22. TwoBusy | December 15th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
“Ding Dong. Woof! Bears.” almost makes up for the fact that you goatse’d me tonight.
ALMOST.
23. -R- | December 15th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I have seen goatse mentioned before but never knew what it was. I am one of those people who doesn’t google things like that because I know that once I see something I can NEVER forget it. This is also why I have never googled that 2 girls 1 cup thing, although I generally know what it is.
ANYWAY, sign me up for the book club!
24. Sourire11 | December 15th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Super excited about the book club! If you guys need any help with any of it just let me know!
25. Julie K | December 15th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Oh my heck, I feel your Historian pain. And since misery loves company, book club me please!
26. Jess | December 15th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Curly hair on babies I think you treat the same as any other hair. You don’t have to worry about this until she’s in grade school, I’d say. And then if it’s still curly, we’ll talk. (Tip one: Don’t brush her hair. Comb it when wet, and otherwise… NO BRUSHY.)
27. Mimi | December 15th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Count me in on the bookclub!
I feel your pain. All of my kids have curly hair from their dad’s genes and I have (still) no idea what to do with it. So far I’ve just let the boys have curly mops of hair and have no idea what to do when they need actual haircuts or something.
28. Anyabeth | December 15th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Oh book club! Me me me!
My daughter has similar hair and we double dip on the conditioner. Use the Johnson’s regular conditioner–comb it through and rinse. And then the leave in after the bath is over. This has made her curls more defined and less uh funky?
I think her hair is almost to the point where a little product would be great but I can’t bring myself to put hair product on a two year old. YET
29. leenie | December 15th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
first things first— you have an adorable baby.
secondly, yes! book club! i’m a twitterer non-blogger who loves books. and, ehm, clubs.
sign me up!
30. Reagan | December 15th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Definitely interested! Can’t wait for the details.
31. Shin Ae | December 15th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Interested!
32. Carla Hinkle | December 16th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Yes, please, I’ll try the book club!
33. Erin | December 16th, 2009 at 12:30 am
Oooh an online book club–something that I might actually enjoy! I’m interested too
34. mrsgryphon | December 16th, 2009 at 12:35 am
Delurking to jump on the book club band wagon!
My “real life” book club is dismally ineffective, considering most members bail the week before we’re supposed to meet. So, yes, I’m absolutely interested in Jonna’s book club!
P.S. Thanks for the ‘don’t google it’ warning – have heard of the goatse thing before, but never knew what it was. Glad I was spared that image.
35. cyn | December 16th, 2009 at 1:04 am
I’m in for the book club, sounds awesome!
36. Michelle | December 16th, 2009 at 1:39 am
I enjoy a fly and fancy lifestyle so I think an online book club is JUST the thing. DING DONG! BOOKS! HALLO!
Do I really have to start with The Historian, though? You WERE joking, right?
37. Cheryl | December 16th, 2009 at 6:41 am
Ooooh Ahhhhh Books. Join me up.
Curly Bebe is so adorable. When she gets older and hates her hair, have her call me ~ we’ll kvetch.
38. Victoria | December 16th, 2009 at 6:49 am
Sign me up for the book club!
39. Jaclyn | December 16th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Definitely in for the book club! Always love another reason to buy new books!
40. Allison | December 16th, 2009 at 8:28 am
I am in a rut with books and would LOVE to have a reason to read something new. Having someone tell me what to read would be so much easier than wandering the aisles at Barnes and Nobles, glassy-eyed and overwhelmed by all the pretty covers. I’d love to join your book club, sounds fantastic!
41. MinivanSoapbox | December 16th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Is it going to be all serious books like Oprah makes us read – or trashy novels with sex and Harry Potter stuff? Because I can’t handle serious. I have too much serious. But I’m in for the trashy junky stuff!
42. Cassie | December 16th, 2009 at 8:46 am
SO IN on the book club! Great idea!
My son also has incredibly curly hair. I have pretty much given up trying to tame it at this point, other than using Johnson’s special curly hair shampoo. And even THAt is touch-and-go.
43. AndreAnna | December 16th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I am one of those sad emeffers that must have missed the original wave of goaste’d and googled it LIKE A DOUCHE.
My eyes still – they burn!
I’m in for the book club. Fo shizzle.
44. Erica | December 16th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Forget the hair, it’s those pouty lips that are killing me. So! Cute!
Anywho, count me in for the book club, yo.
45. Shelly | December 16th, 2009 at 9:23 am
I would love to join the book club and if you need help organizing or anything, I’d love to help out. Reading and talking about books are two are my favoritest things evah!
And Sam’s hair is awesome!
46. heathercoo | December 16th, 2009 at 9:41 am
I am soooo interested in the book club. Woohoo!!!
47. Carrie | December 16th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Yes! Book Club, please!
LOVE her hair!
48. Li | December 16th, 2009 at 9:56 am
I’m in for the book club!
I’ve got a curly-top, too! It looks awfully cute in barrettes….
Oh, and HALLO! I’m getting married today! Ding Dong!
49. Jen | December 16th, 2009 at 10:31 am
JONNA. That hair! That little pursed mouth! How do you stand the cuteness? Seriously.
No real advice about caring for the curls, but I think that Johnson and Johnson makes a shampoo for kids with curly hair? I could be wrong though…
Me. Book club. Yes.
50. McKenzie | December 16th, 2009 at 10:33 am
I would love to be apart of the Book Club!
51. Therese | December 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Not sure when I’ll have time to read, but a book club sounds fun!
52. Angela | December 16th, 2009 at 11:02 am
I don’t twitter or blog, but I would love to be in the book club!
BTW- your daughter is adorable! My husband has curly hair, and I was hoping that my son would have curly hair as well, but not so far. He is three, and it is stick straight.
53. Trilby | December 16th, 2009 at 11:05 am
I don’t blog, but I tweet. lol… I’m reading The Historian for the second time and it’s just as hard to get through as the first. But it’s such a good story! Anywhoodles!
I’d love to be a part of the book club!
My hair is board straight, so no help from me on the curly hair sensation. Although she is very cute in that picture.
54. AmyDoubleyou | December 16th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I’m in! Let me know what to do.
55. Sara | December 16th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Well, this has been an informative morning. Had to google goatse AND the two girls and a cup. Like AndreAnna said–eyes are burning!
I am a member of the curly haired club, as is my 4 year old, and I can’t help you much except to agree with the NO BRUSH rule. My mom brushes my daughter’s hair and she looks like she stuck her finger in a socket. However, your baby girl is so cute!!! I can’t wait to see her with longer hair.
And I’m totally in for the book club–may take me ages to read b/c I have 2 kids! I read more about Elmo than anything else!
56. Catherine | December 16th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Love it! Count me in!
57. themoira | December 16th, 2009 at 11:41 am
I’d love join! I’ve made it to page 391 of the Historian! I WILL finish this book by 2010.
58. Katie | December 16th, 2009 at 11:47 am
I would love to be part of the book club. Count me in!
59. Lawyerish | December 16th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Book club! Okay!
As I have recently learned with my rather newly curly hair, the rules are: no brushes, preferably no combs, scrunch when wet and if you must blow-dry, use a diffuser.
60. foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog) | December 16th, 2009 at 11:53 am
I feel all naive and Midwestern admitting I have no clue what being goatse’d entails
61. Alias Mother | December 16th, 2009 at 11:55 am
I, on the other hand, ended up with a kid with hair exactly like mine (straight and fine) and have found myself yelling the same things at her that my mother used to yell at me. “For heaven’s sake, hold still! It doesn’t hurt that much! If you didn’t squirm it wouldn’t take as long!” And so on and so forth. So this side of things is probably no better.
I love the book club idea, but sadly it takes me about two months to read anything these days so I’m concerned about not being able to keep up. But I shall try! For the love of socialization during maternity leave!
62. Amie | December 16th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
book club please! I’m just a random lurker/ commenter. Good luck with the Historian – I’ve read it twice and it’s the long pages that build up the dread… are you built up with dread yet? It’s still one of my favorites!
63. Pam | December 16th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Book club, yes. Please.
I’d never heard of goatse. Thanks.
You shrunk your husband and put him in cute girlie pajamas? And he didn’t object?
Seriously, how freaking cute is that kid? She’s perfect!
I ended up really liking The Historian.
64. Ariel | December 16th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Okay so I’ve never been in a book club but I’d love to be!
I love reading and my husband is always telling me to quit reading the same old stuff but I like the same old stuff cause it’s comfortable and doesn’t make me stay up until 3 in the morning finishing “one more chapter” and then be tired at work the next day. .
I’ve never heard of “goatse”, so should I wait until I’m not at work to look it up?
65. kim | December 16th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Comment!
I would like to be a part of the club of books!
Ding Dong!
66. Arina | December 16th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Sam is gorgeous — she looks like a perfect little doll!
And I’m in for the book club! (Look at that, you got me to comment!)
67. Dr. Maureen | December 16th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
I am glad you told us what the goasted thing is, because I had also never heard of it and I was wondering, but afraid to google it because of your dire Twitter warnings. Also have no idea what that tubgirl thing is, but I will remain strong and thus blissfully ignorant. No googling.
Ding dong! Router! Netflix! Wha?
68. barb. | December 16th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Bookclub: yes!
My youngest had curly hair up until the age of 2, when sadly it started growing in straight. I cried when we cut off the last of his curls. Babies+curls=total love
69. Rebecca (Bearca) | December 16th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
My daughter’s hair is the EXACT OPPOSITE of Sam’s and I have curl envy on her behalf!
And book club AHOY! “Hallo. Books. Reading. Ding dong!”
70. JenniferL | December 16th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
De-lurking to say “pick me, pick me” I wanna join yer cluuuuub!!
And I think Sam’s curls are magnificent as my babes are of the bald variety
71. Marieka | December 16th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Please count me in for the book club! This is such a cool idea!
72. ConnieR | December 16th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Long time reader, first time commenter. Sorry for lurking, just wanna say I love reading your blog, especially Sam adventures, my babe’s only a few weeks older and it’s been nice to read about the adventure that is motherhood. Anyway’s I’m from Australia, can I still join your book club? I used to love reading but unfortunately don’t get time anymore to read as much as I’d love to.
73. TinaNZ | December 16th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Yes to the bookclub! Might be the only way I’ll get to belong to one.
On curly hair – my older son had perfectly rational straight hair until puberty when it turned wildly curly, a big loose cloud of fluffy brown curls that he can’t (or won’t) do anything to manage and I (relatively straight-haired) can’t give advice on.
I can’t see the picture (flikr blocked at work) but curly hair on babies generally looks adorable so I’m sure it will grow on you (as it has on her – ha!).
74. Lara | December 16th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
1 – the goatse thing never really traumatized me ’cause it’s just so…so…out there, it just kinda makes me laugh. The one that is burned into my brain is the (obviously fake, but still) clustery boob thing – I think it’s supposed to be an infestation of larva or something? Anyways, oh god, huuuuurl. I’m squicking myself out just thinking about it and it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen it.
2 – I rewound that skit about 5 times on Saturday night. Ding dong!
3 – you baby is incredibly adorable.
4 – I have been wanting to join a book club for ages. Sign me up!
75. Allison | December 16th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Oh GOD, the larvae boob thing. SO NASTY. DO NOT GOOGLE. I cannot purge that image from my brain.
76. Carrie (in MN) | December 16th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Sam is so freaking adorable! How can you not love those curls?! I’m a curly-head, as is one of my daughters. I agree with the other curly-heads – no brush, good conditioner, scrunch when wet, use a diffuser if you must blow-dry. When she gets older, we’ll talk product – product is *key* when you have curly hair.
77. mar | December 16th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
i usually read all the comments first, but yay! bookclub!
and also, i have somehow managed to avoid 2girls1cup and also tubgirl, which was much discussed at a former workplace when i worked for a phone company’s call center, you know 5 years ago.
and such the cute curly hair! i’m sure you’ll try to do right by her hair styling says the girl cursed to perms in elementary school. good g-d!
now back to reading the rest of your comments…
78. TJ | December 16th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
I admit it.
I own this: http://www.threadless.com/product/235/Goatse
79. Hawkeyegirl | December 17th, 2009 at 12:20 am
I’d love to do an online book club! Sign me up!
80. SwingCheese | December 17th, 2009 at 6:02 am
Dear God, they’re making a movie of the Historian? If it’s anything less than three hours, they will not be able to do it justice, and, well, if it’s three hours or longer, no one (self included) will see it. Oh, who am I kidding – I’m going to see it, no matter what. Anyway,,,
I, too, am desperate for new reading suggestions, and would love to be part of this online book club. I was in a local book club and I, at 31, was the youngest by about 30 years. It was interesting.
And my son does not have curly hair, but he has a cowlick that is so prominent his hair comes to a point on the left side of his neck. At certain angle, he very unfortunately looks like he has a rat tail.
81. Shana | December 17th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Ohhhhh, nooooooo. Oh, Jonna. I am suck a sucker for curly-haired wee girls, and that face is awesome. Haaa. The Beebs, she is cute as a button!
Assvice: don’t make her keep her hair short. I’m a Diana-Ross-style curly, and my wavy-and-short-haired grandmother harassed my mother into cutting my hair short at six and keeping it that way until I hit eighth grade.
By which time rotten eighth-grade boys were calling me “‘Fro” full-time, and THROWING LITTLE BALLED-UP PIECES OF PAPER, then FAKE PAPER JOINTS AT ME, BECAUSE THEY WOULD STICK IN MY HAIR. Save your child, learn to ponytail, braid, and detangle gently.
82. Gaby | December 17th, 2009 at 9:47 am
I would love to hear more about the bookclub!
83. Austin | December 17th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Yes please, to the book club! I just discovered Goodreads and am itching for the opportunity to capitalize on all these wonderful books!
Also, Sam’s hair = ADORABLE! I hope my babies have such curly, beautiful hair! (My husband has super tight curly red hair so I’m hoping the offspring inherit their daddy’s locks! I have boring mostly straight-ish dark blonde hair)
84. Diane | December 17th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I love this idea, yes please sign me up!
85. Kristabella | December 17th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I thought I knew what goatse’d was, so I didn’t Google it. GLAD I DID NOT.
86. The New Girl | December 17th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
That baby is the CUTEST EVAH.
And how are we going to have the ‘don’t talk about the book, just have the wine and snacks kind of book club on the internest, dude?’
Ding Dong, She nevah reads the books, HALLO.
87. Kayla J. | December 17th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Oooo, I’m in for book club fun!
88. lindsayc | December 17th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I’d love to be part of a book club! Online or anywhere.

I want to be in the book club!
Last night I went to a book club and very few people had read the book and those that had didn’t discuss the book. What. The. Fuck. I mean I am all for gathering to drink wine and laugh and stuff but…..why are we calling it book club??!! Anyway, great idea and I am totally interested.

I love this idea and would love to be involved!

Count me (tentatively*) in, if you haven’t already.
*I’m a book snob, so I might totally chicken out.

Oh I’m so in! I’ve wanted to join a book club forever but we live in such a rural area I haven’t been able to, so this is perfect!

Oooo, book club! I haven’t read a non-parenting themed book in 2 years even though I continue to buy books to add to my pile of books to read. Book Club, please!

one more thing – I think goodreads has a bookclub thing. My local one just started on it. I’m not an expert but it might be worth checking it out.

Count me in!

BOOK! CLUB! BOOK! CLUB! Ahem. I’m excited.

Three decades in, I’m still unclear on how to handle my curly hair, so I am no help there. But I’d love to join in on the bookclub. My excessive reading could use a little direction.

Book Club, Book Club, Book Club! Yeah! Me likey to join!

I am all about the book club.
I, too, have curly hair. And I still have no idea what to do with it. I wear it long so it doesn’t go all poofy. (Junior high, anyone? And not in that trendy junior high way.)

Book club, FTW.

Can I still jump in? I can always use suggestions for books! Yay!

Ahem, little backed up on my feeds due to crazy health stuff, but I HAD to chime in (get it? hahahaha) and say I died laughing over that sketch. Husband couldn’t even breathe. Hilarious.
Also, bookclub sounds like awesome (checked it out today) but don’t know if I can handle the pressure. I’m weird like that. Hm.

Houses are quite expensive and not everybody is able to buy it. However, credit loans was invented to aid people in such hard situations.
