First, a disclaimer: I'm an occasional reader of The Bloggess blog (Bloggess' blog? Bloggess's? Heck if I know) so I'm not entirely unbiased. I think Ms. Lawson is hilarious and charmingly "real" in kind of a messed-up way, but not in a scary messed-up way, just like in a "I feel better about myself now" messed-up way. Does that make sense? Anyway, I loved it. I also discovered -- and somehow I never knew this from sporadically reading her blog -- that we're from the same area of the country. Like she'd be writing about something and I'd be like... wait, I have a picture of my friend in that eagle costume or I remember when we got that Starbucks. And I loved that, too.
