Excuse Me While I Disappear: Tales of Midlife Mayhem by Laurie NotaroMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excuse Me While I Disappear: Tales of Midlife Mayhem is a collection of humorous essays by Laurie Notaro. As the title suggests, these are almost all about being middle-aged and specifically a middle-aged woman. As I am now firmly in that demographic, I find myself asking the same thing Laurie does. Why doesn't anyone tell you about what's it is like to get old? The chapter, What's Happening?: A User's Manual for Your New Old Body, was absolutely spot on. And here I thought I was the only one asking these questions.... If you are at the point in your life where your body also betrays you on a regular basis, read this for a little pick-me-up. It won't make anything better, but laughing is the best way to get through it.
Bonus points for My Darling Girl. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Maeby in their life.
