Try the Elmwood Springs books by Fannie Flagg. Norma is your girl. From making a list of which ornaments she wants the fire department to rescue first to buying new curtains and sheets for the guest room on the off chance someone will come visit, she’s insane, and persnickety, and somehow very endearing. She’s at her most “Norma” in Welcome to the World Baby Girl
