This book of essays taken from AbbyHasIssues.com allows the (obviously brilliant) reader to relive the author’s goal of becoming a Consolation Prize Wife, or having her eyebrows waxed without the inherent paranoia that accompanies hot liquids being plastered on her face. From the birthday she was blindfolded and forced to hunt for her presents in the backyard, to her grandma’s dating advice and rules on nursing home Bingo etiquette, Abby also shows how humor can be hereditary--whether you like it or not. Writer Abby Heugel reminds you that yes, we all have issues. And hers will make you feel normal.
In this second installment of award-winning humor writer Abby’s compiled blogging neurosis, she shares everything from the drama of a cab ride with Aunt Mable to an exclusive interview with Vanilla Ice and her quest to become a naked sushi model. Presented in short bursts for readers with the attention span of a manic gnat with ADD — much like the author herself — it will leave you thinking and laughing with each turn of the page. Abby has issues. We all do. Hers will make you feel normal.

No one ever tells you about all of the crap that happens to you when you’re pregnant. Like, for example, it’s not nine months, it’s ten long months.
We are three thirty-something women who were fortunate enough to be pregnant at the same time. We shared our questions, fears, humor, and experiences through emails, which became our lifeline and virtual support group. Here, we share the good, the bad, and the ugly of our experiences. We do not hold back for the squeamish or the faint of heart—you need the truth, and now!
So prop up your cankles, rest this book upon your shelf of a belly, and check out our email log. We made it through the entire experience and lived to tell the tale—and you will too.
