I read this book because I went to high school with the author. It's based on Constance's blog that details her dating life.
Constantly Constance
Constance takes you along as she braves a move from Texas to New England. As she sets up life in her new town she encounters many potential suitors and many awkward dates follow. The message of carpe diem resonates through out this book. The author is quick witted and has a wicked (New England term) sense of humor. The story is really just a snap shot of Constance's life. I would like to hear from someone who has read the book but is not from Austin. The book made me nostalgic for my hometown and I wonder if someone who isn't familiar with Austin would enjoy it as much. It's a short book so I say if you like Sex and the City and/or Girls, read this book. I suggest putting it on your summer reading list and reading it poolside with a pina colada!

The above picture is a portrait of me over this past holiday season. I won the Grinch award this year and I wanted to share my acceptance speech:
There are so few people to thank. I know I'll have enough time to forget them all. When this holiday season rolled around I didn't think I had a shot at winning this award. However, through lack of effort, general grumpiness, and lots of whining, I prevailed. There are many things I didn't do to win this award. Not decorating my home at all, not cooking any holiday dishes, and avoiding holiday shopping like the plague are just a few of those things. I would like to mention my darling husband who was kind enough to help me strengthen my grinching talents. He would play Christmas music and wrap presents to help me test my grinchiness. I should also mention my friends and family who were kind, patient, and loving through out the holidays. I have to admit I almost didn't win this award because of them. To be honest I can really only think of one person who truly helped me win this award, ME!
All joking aside I had a nice holiday with my loving, ungrinchy family and friends. Hope you did too!
