Happy Homemaker Monday ~ Week 8
On my bedside table:
I've finally finished The 19th Wife. Loved it. It was such a fascinating book. But seriously, I don't know how any woman (or man) for that matter, survives polygamy. I just don't.
Now I'm readying Addition. Another absolutely fascinating book. It's about a woman who has OCD. I mean serious OCD. Almost debilitating OCD. I'm about 1/2 way through and I can't wait to read some more tonight ! It's a hard to put down sort of book.

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Toilets don't clean themselves.
I'm serious.
I wish they did though ...
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
My friend Khrista has the coolest blog. Not surprising really as she is a cool person ! No, I am not ever going to stop saying cool. I'm too cool to stop using such a cool word. But, back to my cool friend Khrista and her cool blog that houses my favorite blog post of the week. It's a post about a pregnancy journal she's making. Super super ... or sould I say Uber cool ! See, I know other words besides cool !!
Favorite photo from last week:
A passion fruit flower from this post at Flowers In My Pocket ... my virtual flower garden.
Lesson Learned The Past Few Days:
I hate shopping.
Ok. I didn't really learn that lesson for the first time.
But ... I re-learned it today after I spent hours at the mall ... see # 2 & 3 on to do list !
