When Ellie Kemper's number was up, she was ready. Contagiously cheerful, predictably wholesome, and mostly inspiring except for one essay about her husband's feet,\u003ci\u003e My Squirrel Days\u003c\/i\u003e is a funny, free-wheeling tour of Ellie's life-from growing up in suburban St. Louis with a vivid imagination and a crush on David Letterman to moving to Los Angeles and accidentally falling on Doris Kearns Goodwin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut those are not the only famous names dropped in this synopsis. Ellie will also share stories of inadvertently insulting Ricky Gervais at the Emmy Awards, telling Tina Fey that she has \"great hair-really strong and thick,\" and offering a maxi pad to Steve Carell. She will take you back to her childhood as a nature lover determined to commune with squirrels, to her college career as a benchwarming field hockey player with no assigned position, and to her young professional days writing radio commercials for McDonald's but never getting paid. Ellie will guide you along her journey through adulthood, from unorganized bride to impatient wife to anxious mother who-as recently observed by a sassy hairstylist-\"dresses like a mom.\" Well, sassy hairstylist, Ellie Kemper is a mom. And she has been dressing like it since she was four.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEllie has written for\u003ci\u003e GQ\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Esquire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney's\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Onion\u003c\/i\u003e. Her voice is the perfect antidote to the chaos of modern life. In short, she will tell you nothing you need to know about making it in show business, and everything you need to know about discreetly changing a diaper at a Cibo Express.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31861792440417,"sku":"9781473657281","price":13.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_6891635_jpg.jpg?v=1712293445","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781473657281-my-squirrel-days","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
