Name that book: whatever, oh well

Someone told me about a book in which a woman character says two prayers every day: in the morning, "Whatever!" and before bed, "Oh well!" Anyone know the title?

Google thinks it's Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott.

Anne Lamott's two prayers were "Help me Help me Help me" and "Thank you Thank you Thank you".

Here's the page on Random House's website that says she mentions in the book that a friend of hers uses those two prayers.

Aha, I was barking up the wrong tree thinking it was a novel. Thanks!
