I like this bit a lot. It's the kind of thing I hope to be able to write someday:

Sybil [her car] made a sound somewhere between a cat coughing up a furball and a congested demon. "Thit!" I cursed through my mouthful of carbs.

LOL! Great line. Thanks for sharing Kim!

Here's one of my favorite lines from Dirty Magic about Kate's eccentric neighbor, Baba...

“Baba might be old, but she could be meaner than a polecat when crossed. I’d seen her wield that case at everyone from the mailman for running over her petunias to a Jehovah’s Witness who tried to save her soul.”

Another fun one:

"Why did everyone send casseroles in times of crisis? Why didn't anyone ever send brownies and Jack Daniel's?"

(If I'm ever in crisis, send me cheese fries and Oreo milkshakes, please.)

LOL. Yes!!! I'll send you that if you send me curly fries and thin mint cookies. Great, now I'm hungry. Does that count as a crisis?

Another one of my favorite quotes from Dirty Magic, this time by Pen:

“What’s it going to be? You going to sit here and feel sorry for yourself, or are you going to get up and do the damned thing?”
