So I was at the mall about a month ago (we don't do uninteresting stuff like roam malls very often) and John was watching MF play in one of those super-unsanitary play areas while I poked around in The Children's Place and Borders. I usually try to avoid book stores unless there's something specific I'm looking for. I'm not tempted to buy books very often (I'm a bit of a miser) especially from book stores so I usually don't even look. Well this particular day I thought I would see if they even had anything clean laid out there, let alone good. I came across this book...
211 Things A Clever Girl Can Do. It looked like fun so on a whim, I bought it! It has instructions on a bunch of different things from
How to churn butter and
How to dig a Latrine to
How to look glamorous in a sidecar and
How to make a macrame bikini. Fair warning though, as funny as it's written there are a few bits I don't totally aprove of (I'm such a prude)and wondered a few times as to why on earth anyone would need or want to know such information. Still, it is a fun read and I'm thinking of looking to see if my local library has others by this author. So, do YOU know how to ride an ostrich?
