Blogger Marcia Kester Doyle tells it like it is and nothing is off limits. Who Stole My Spandex? is a witty selection of stories from Doyle's madcap world of menopausal pitfalls, wardrobe malfunctions, and a family full of pranksters. This clever compilation includes laugh-out-loud pieces like "Queen of Klutz," "One Size Fits None," and "Hands off my Egg Roll!" From couples' colonoscopies to nightmare holidays to disappearing spandex, no topic-no matter how crazy or unimaginable-is too taboo. With a heavy dose of self-deprecating humor, and a dash of sentiment, this marvelous collection of anecdotes will resonate with anyone who's ever felt the call of nature at exactly the wrong time. Welcome to the nuthouse that Marcia Kester Doyle calls home.
When tragedy overtakes her seemingly charmed family, Helena, a young wife and mother, becomes half-mad with grief and guilt. She is finally driven into a tower where her mournful cries echo nightly over the village of Esperanza, leaving its people haunted and fearful. This mythical tale of love, loss and redemption will capture readers as Helena herself is captured by her passions.
Have you taken to blaming the little people for stealing all the things you can't find, like the damn Chico's gift card you are 100% sure you left on the dresser? When you take off your bra, is it as if an airbag has deployed? Have you more than once started a sentence with the phrase "Back when I was in school..."? If you answered yes to any of these questions, welcome to the middle-aged cheap seats. Magic Fishing Panties is the follow-up to Dalferes' debut book I Was in Love With a Short Man Once. This collection of humorous tales offers new perspective from the self-proclaimed crazy Southern Irish gal and recent inductee into "Club 50." Rather than wallow in the self-pity often induced by sagging jaw lines, empty nests, and menopause, the author offers colorful depictions of life in the middle. You will find yourself contemplating: - How would you react to being in public during an earthquake? Oh, and you're naked. - The wedding starts in five minutes and your best friend needs to pump her breast milk, but all the bathrooms are occupied. Where should she go to quickly resolve her situation? - You are depressed and alone on your 39th birthday. What do you do? Hint: tattoo anyone? You'll come to know Kimba as a true gal pal, someone who will gladly lend you her size 11 black boots, favorite red coat, and anything else you might need to rule the world - with the exception of her magic fishing panties. Because letting you borrow those would be a little weird, don't ya think?
