Wild Women

Every year I buy a new daily desk calender. I try to buy ones that will give me a little chuckle, or at least smile, first thing in the morning. Last year it was Dave Barry, this year it's "Wild Words from Wild Women". There've been a few good ones so far; for example, "It is normal to want to ram his car if he and his new girlfriend have been spotted in it" (Helen Lederer) or "I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once" (Jennifer Lane). I think though, my favorite so far is today's:

"I can't stand makeup commercials. 'Do you need a lipstick that keeps your lips kissable?' No, I need a lipstick that gets me equal pay for equal work. How about eye shadow that makes me stop thinking I'm too fat?", Maria Bamford.

Cheers!
