This is a real person. She's not in some Asian nation busy selling retreaded social networking advice. She actually resembles her profile, which is amazing. Did I mention that she's really funny and you should read her? No? Excuse me while I pop another Ritalin.

She's worth your time to read. I subscribed to the email version.

Which is great, incidentally.

I especially enjoyed "Meet Phil" and "The Subway vs. Wawa Smackdown." WaWa doesn't have touchscreen ordering in the Richmond, VA area, but Sheetz' does. Before my husband and I moved here to be near his family, he introduced me to Sheetz on our visits from Tennessee. Something about touchscreen ordering makes me practically giddy. Maybe it's the idea of getting exactly what I want?

Funny stuff, an enjoyable way to spend a few minutes away from the issues of the world.

Swubird43

5 stars Swubird

This blog is packed full of interesting, informative, witty and humorous articles taken from the author's everyday life. The content is so well written that you can literally feel, smell, and touch the scenes as the author describes them to you. The site is updated regularly, and she never short changes the reader in terms of quality. The wit is razor sharp, and the humor is hilarious. In my opinion, there's only one rating suitable for this site - 100!
