Thanks to the laser-sharp eyes of Kristina, we now have a winner of the first “Post Easter Egg” game (thinking maybe I’ll be working on a better title) and a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

When I started processing the picture of my new Kindle, all I could see was a nice shiny-bright F-bomb sitting right in the middle of the image.  I thought to myself, “Self?  This is no good!  It’s bad enough that your friends think your taste in literature is one step above Britney Spear’s taste in clothing.  What kind of off-the-cuff crap will you get for this?”.  And the reply was “Jen? Who the hell cares?  Oh, and by the way?  Quit admitting to having conversations with me.  You know that’s a one-way ticket to a straight jacket, right?”.

Ahem…moving on.

I sarted reading Jen Lancaster’s blog after finding her as one of the hilarious contributors to the now-defunct Snarkywood.  Since then, she’s published not one, but three memoir-style books (the most recent just made the USA Today bestseller list, GO JEN!!) where she thinks and says the things that never make it past my internal filters (surprising, huh?).  The book my Kindle was serving up to me on a beautiful digital platter was Bright Lights, Big Ass, and the page in the image above was explaining exactly what happens when you get sucked into those stupid workplace charity campaigns (March of Dimes/United Way, anyone?  I know you can feel her pain!).  Anywhoo, Bright Lights was a great read, just like this one was and this one will be (now if she’ll only publish her latest in a Kindle edition, I’d kiss her feet).

So there you go.  Congrats on taking the time to getting the magnifying glass out, Kristina!
