New favorite find at the library, 1,000 Ways To Be A Slightly Better Woman by Pamela Redmond Satran.  It's all written in categorized lists. Delicious delicious lists! Sometimes a trip to the library isn't about enjoying excellent literature.  Sometimes its just about finding one with the most interesting pictures or the funniest quotes. This was one of those visits.  By the end of the summer I will have checked out every book that Madison has on Barbies and modern sewing. (Not both categories together dummy! Although that would be a cool book...)
