Continuing to balance the demands of career, diet, dating, and Mother, Cathy takes charge of the stresses of modern life in her own unique way: she declares a tax deduction for purple lingerie ( her embarrassment over "the llingerie incident carried four separate doughnut chains through the economic slump of 1990"); she despairs over her boyfriend's new passion for golf (" At least if he were with another woman I'd understand why he was enjoying himself"); and when Cathy asks her hairdresser for a new look, she declares a family emergency ( "The evil twin that live inside my brain wanted to try 'highlights and a body perm'!!!." Video dating, compulsive shopping, recycling, credit card disasters, and car repairs are all too familiar to Cathy's millions of fans, who won't want to miss her astute comments and hilarious ordeals.
