Lately I have been reading and listening to a lot of rather good books. I seem to be on a good run lately so I thought I would share a gem with you this evening.

I just listened to The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love and it was one of the funniest damn things I've read in a long time. I recommend listening to it over reading it because the authors lovely southern accent just gives the stories a bit more impact. I had to pull my car over a few time I was laughing so hard.

These lovely ladies are part of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Jackson, Mississippi and now I have two reasons to get my ass down there! Sharon, if you are reading this you need to read this book! We need to go to this parade and then get tattoos or do something crazy. And I need to eat a deep fried pickle.
