false 2864787 2 Rivenbark's observations of modern life can be downright hilarious. Readers will laugh out loud over her commentary on status mothers and all the odd obsessions of modern life. Plus the South truly is a different country than the rest of the U.S., and Rivenbark is the perfect guide to the southern point of view in her descriptions of sweet tea and not-so-sweet bubbas. Home renovation is her main theme, and Rivenbark admits that she believed having your own personal dumpster was pure joy, especially after driving around to find someplace to dump her oversize bags of smelly garbage, until she discovered that they charge by the load. She also tells tales about dealing with overpriced repairmen, workmen who speak their own private form of English, and posh exterminators with attitude. Rivenbark treats life's problems with refreshing disrespect and humor, so sit a spell and enjoy a rollicking, fun ride with the musings of one of the funniest of southern writers, one who appeals to the belle in all of us. 2890929 19 8 2008 Belle Weather: Mostly Sunny with a Chance of Scattered Hissy Fits and Conniptions total:142|5:45|4:49|3:33|2:12|1:3| 142 547 328 41 4 2 false false Wed Mar 11 01:09:23 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 01:10:57 -0700 2009 4 2 false false Sat Mar 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 08:18:37 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 08:19:22 -0800 2009 5 1 false false Wed Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 09:44:42 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 10:32:44 -0700 2009
