So there is this dreadful place called the rogue book exchange where (and this is the dreadful part) you can walk in empty handed and walk out with a (yet again) big box full of books and pay nothing.  They are all donated/second hand and my house is getting fuller all the time.  I think next time I go I will have to take a box of books with me to balance out the order of my universe such as it is!  Any how, we were there on Saturday and among other books I felt I must have (being free and all) I found "The best of Bombeck"  A treasury of works by America's favorite humorist   ( aka;  Erma Bombeck).  My Mom must have mentioned this lady because the name sounded familiar!  As I read the jacket I was convinced this was the right sort of self help book for me!  The back read "I consider ironed sheets a health hazard."  And I knew I was going to like this one!  I will have to pass it on when I am done reading it!  I'm sure I am not the only one who could use the chance to get perspective on this crazy life of the American wife and mother, even if it is a wee bit dated!  To all of you out there in cyber space who read my blog, Happy New Year!!!!
