My obsession with Chelsea Handler continues

July 18, 2008 · 2 Comments

Because I loved Are you there vodka? It’s me Chelsea so much, I ordered her first book, My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands.

And once again, I wish Chelsea Handler was my friend. She’s hysterical and seems like she would be so much fun to hang out with….there’d never be a dull moment, that’s for sure!

This book is very easy to read, funny and you just want to keep reading more. She did a really good job pulling it all together at the end, too.

My favorite parts were Simone’s wedding, her cruise with Dumb Dumb and the Valentine’s Day costume party. I wish she was coming to Pittsburgh again.

My Book Club

July 1, 2008 · 1 Comment

Last night was book club night.  They are always pretty fun, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint.  This month’s book was Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea…if you need about a hundred good laughs, go out and buy this book right now!  My favorite chapter was Prison Break.

There were only four of us there last night.  Pammie, Ang, Gabs and myself.  We spent most of the time last night discussing Gabby’s awful new sister in law, piecing together the events from Saturday’s girls night out and figuring out how we can get Chelsea Handler to be our friend.

We meet at the Library on Carson Street.  It’s a really fun little bar and restaurant.  The food is great, and the wine is even better – although we were all taking it easy last night and ordered diet cokes!

Next month’s book, chosen by Gabby, is Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian…I’m going to pick it up before vacation Thursday…it sounds like it will be great!  Hopefully more of our book clubbers will be able to make it.  We’ve only been doing this since January, and I’m really glad we started it.  Not only does it get me to read things I might not otherwise pick up, but I know I’m going to see good friends once a month….and with our busy lives and schedules, that definitely helps.

Chelsea Handler…Will you be my friend?

June 23, 2008 · 2 Comments

I started reading Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea last night. I’m only halfway through it, and it’s amazing. She is one of the funniest people ever. It would be so much fun to hang out with this girl…specifically getting drunk, making fun of people and prank calling!  I think she’d absolutely love my friends, too.

If you haven’t read this book yet, go directly to the bookstore…you will not be disappointed!
