I don’t think I’ve shared my love for Jenny lately. I have been reading her new Memoir, “Let’s Pretend this Never Happened,” and laughing so hard I have to frequently set it down for fear of spilling my beverage.

I will admit this book is not for everyone, she isn’t afraid of using four letter words and it rambles just like one of my blog posts. So of course I love it.

Anyway, she has been running a sort of “greatest hits” on her blog while she is touring around signing her book (today she is in San Antonio) and today’s entry is when we first met Copernicus (“a small, stuffed monkey, which seemed to have some sort of snout leprosy and would probably murder us in our sleep”) last year.

Here’s an excerpt (Victor is her husband, btw):

Victor: Oh, holy shit. Put that thing down.

me: Are you fucking crazy? HE NEEDS US. Plus, he is made of awesome. And nightmares.

Copernicus: MISTER, CAN YOU SPARE A HUG?

Victor: Did you just make that monkey talk?

Copernicus: A HUG IS LIKE A STRANGLE YOU HAVEN’T FINISHED YET.

Victor: What is wrong with you?

me: OH MY GOD, HE’S FANTASTIC. Plus, he just used “strangle” as a noun. Who does that? Copernicus the homicidal monkey, that’s who.

Now you know why I haven’t been writing much, too busy reading. Oh, other stuff, too, maybe I’ll share (still haven’t renewed my domain, I think I have a week or so left to decide).

Check her out, she’s good.
