“From her head down to her gnarly (no longer!) toes, Kathie Lee is pure dame. And she's served up a cocktail of wit and wisdom with a decidedly salty rim!”—Meredith VieiraJust When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg is Kathie Lee Gifford's triumphant laugh-out-loud celebration of forging ahead with gusto, even long after we're old enough to know better. Age, after all, isn't a number, it's a state of mind, and being fertile isn't just about having babies, it's about being passionate and creative. Writing with the candor of a friend who knows where the bodies are buried, Kathie Lee reveals the truth every woman of a certain age knows but won't admit: that we love our kids every second of every day but are counting the minutes till they're ready to go off to college, that even though gravity is a constant force, not all parts of our bodies droop at the same rate, and that life and show business share one simple rule: “Don't sit by the phone and wait for a man or a job.” Full of warmth, humor, and down-to-earth wisdom, this wonderful book is a delectable read for grown-ups of all ages.Praise for Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg“I've been through a couple of calamities with Kathie Lee and nobody handles them better. You could blow her up, cook her and hang her out to dry and she will still survive and have some laughs doing it.”—Regis Philbin “Kathie Lee has always entertained me with her humor, wry wit, and penchant for pinpointing all of our very human foibles with great accuracy and hilarity. Now she does it again. This charming memoir filled with amusing anecdotes about herself and her family, friends, and colleagues brought a smile to my face but also touched me. Her insight is as remarkable as she is.”—Barbara Taylor Bradford“Gifford dishes about everything.”—The Tampa Tribune“Fans will be delighted... by the book's mix of earnest life lessons and self-conscious kookiness.”—Publishers Weekly“Outrageously funny... [Gifford's] quirky sense of humor shines through.”—Wichita Falls Times Record News

<p>as One Of America&#8217;s Most Recognized Faces, Kathie Lee Gifford Has Been A Part Of Our Morning Routine For More Years Than She Cares To Count. And That&#8217;s Why It May Come As A Surprise To Hear That There Are Still Sides Of This Fiftysomething (!) Devoted Mother And Dedicated Television Personality Yet To Be Revealed.<br><br><b>just When I Thought I&#8217;d Dropped My Last Egg </b>is Kathie Lee&#8217;s Triumphant, Laugh-out-loud Celebration Of Forging Ahead With Gusto, Even Long After We&#8217;re Old Enough To Know Better. Over The Years, Kathie Lee Has Learned A Lot About Life And About Herself. Age, For Instance, Isn&#8217;t A Number, It&#8217;s A State Of Mind, And Being Fertile Isn&#8217;t Just About Having Babies. Perhaps Most Important&#58; Our Quality Of Life Is Sustained By Our Passions&#8211;how We Express, Define, And Even Reinvent Ourselves At Any Age, Through Our Careers, Interests, Friends, And Beliefs. It&#8217;s Never Too Late To Set New Goals For Yourself And Strive To Meet Them, To Dust Off Your Childhood Dreams And Pursue Them Again, To Wake Up Every Morning Hoping To Learn Something New. <br><br>in This Riotous Collection Of Musings, Observations, And Life Lessons, Kathie Lee Shares Her Thoughts About Marriage, Parenthood, Friendship, Faith, Pet Peeves, Senior Moments, And How To Extricate Oneself From Potentially Hairy Situations With Self-deprecating Wit. Writing With The Candor Of A Friend Who Knows Where The Bodies Are Buried, Kathie Lee Reveals The Truth Every Woman Of A Certain Age Knows But Won&#8217;t Admit&#58; That We Love Our Kids Every Second Of Every Day But Are Counting The Minutes Till They&#8217;re Ready To Go Off To College, That Even Though Gravity Is A Constant Force, Not All Parts Of Our Bodies Droop At The Same Rate, And That Life And Show Business Share One Simple Rule&#58; &#8220;don&#8217;t Sit By The Phone And Wait For A Man Or A Job.&#8221;<br><br>full Of Warmth, Humor, Down-to-earth Wisdom, And More Than A Little Bit Of Dish, <b>just When I Thought I&#8217;d Dropped My Last Egg</b> Is A Delectable Read For Grown-ups Of All Ages.</p> <h3>publishers Weekly</h3> <p><p>gifford Has Led An Eventful Life, One Previously Chronicled In The 1992 Memoir <i>i Can't Believe I Said That!</i>in Her Sixth Book, The Talk-show Host (15 Years On <i>live With Regis And Kathie Lee</i>; A Year And Counting On <i>the Today Show</i>) And Singer Shares More Stories, Observations And Corny Jokes In Pursuit Of Providing Food For Thought, Amusement Or Inspiration. In Her Introduction, She Writes, I Find The Humor In Tragedy And The Underlying Sadness In Laughter. And In All Of It I Find Hope. I Hope You Will, Too. Then It's Off To The Races: She Claims To Have Invented Spanx, Describes Her Gnarly Feet (and Foot-lift At Age 54), Proclaims Her Happiness At Her Lack Of Technology Savvy And Describes An Awkward Visit To The Gynecologist. Among The Wacky Stories And Odd-servations, There Is Serious Fare; For Example, She Touches Upon Her Famous Husband's Infidelity, The Sweatshop Scandal That Plagued Her In The 1990s And Her Father's Death. She Also Writes About Her Children, Religion And Various Creative Pursuits. That's Where The Title Comes In: While Gifford Notes She Is No Longer Fertile In Terms Of Reproduction, She Is Fertile Myrtle In Terms Of Her Creativity And Productivity. Fans Will Be Delighted-and Detractors Will Be Irritated-by The Book's Mix Of Earnest Life Lessons And Self-conscious Kookiness. <i>(apr.)</i></p>copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, A Division Of Reed Elsevier Inc.
