5 out of 5 stars Great! Funny!   October 4, 2008
This was a great book - it is an alphabetized list of insights and observations of everyday life - I laughed out loud several times and highly recommend this book


5 out of 5 stars Great LIGHT reading   July 25, 2008
i loved this book. it's just fun, light reading. it's not profound. it's witty and silly and a good summer read. i could relate to some of the details of her "ordinary" life. my husband and i took turns reading some of her topics aloud to one another and got a good laugh out of it. i recommend this book.


5 out of 5 stars laughed alot   February 20, 2008
I've had this book in my possession for 6 months and wish I had read it when I first got it. I had serious laughter tears.
Thanks.



2 out of 5 stars a real disappointment   January 26, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Disappointment of the year. I was quite excited about Krouse Rosenthal's book, but perhaps ordinariness is indeed simply too dull to write about (Tolstoy nailed that one at the beginning of Anna Karenia). Her style is choppy and disconnected, which, she mentions, has never endeared her to editors. It never endeared her to this reader, either. Short as the book was, I was unable to finish it--a rare problem for me.


5 out of 5 stars a wonderful read   January 19, 2008
Buy this book and lift your spirits, it is delightful in every way. I wish the author was my best friend.
