Yesterday I met her...
and she is not scary at all.
She's quite lovely, and pretty and sweet too- Ms. Jill Smokler, you know her as Scary Mommy from scarymommy.com
Her new book is funny with a capital F. Speaking of F, the F-bomb was flying high but all used in the correct context! She did a reading, took questions and signed books! It was a blogger's dream and plenty of bloggers were there to show support!
I've met lots of authors, (shall I name drop with NY Times best sellers Sebastian Junger and Wallly Lamb?) I've seen many readings (too many to list), I work in a library don't forget.... but this time I admit, I was giddy and star struck. My face was hot, on fire hot, so much so that I was convinced I had blotches all over me.... My lips were sort of shaking in this picture.... I know it's ridiculous but seriously, it's scary mommy.
I'll be honest, the World's Greatest Husband, didn't quite get it but went along with me for the ride. He's a keeper.

I couldn't agree with you more about Scary Mommy. I'm a child psychologist so it goes without saying that I have TONS of parenting books (and believe me, there are a lot out there). However, this is the one book that no mother should go without. It's the only one that really tells the truth about motherhood. Check out my review if you'd like:
