Coming to Terms with Mediocrity: And Other Humorous Life Lessons

Do you ever feel like you've missed the boat and are always running to catch the train (or are about to get run over by it)? Well, you're not alone. If you are thinking maybe you “ain't all that”, and life isn't delivering what you thought it would, again, you are not alone. In 90 edible and easy-to-digest essays, each with their own humorous life-lesson, the author invites you to accompany her through the agonizing terror of writing a book, fixing up a house, buying another and moving halfway across the country (while managing not to kill anyone), and trying to be thin, perfect, carefree and a somewhat sane human being in the process (and failing miserably). This book will make you laugh. It might even make you think. You might actually think it is worth reading a second time. And, if you're really paying attention (or just a bit lucky) it will inspire you to change things for the better. Somehow, this book makes it okay to be a real person – to embrace the art of being normal.
