okay, i'm gonna tell everyone this...and you can't make fun! i'm not finished with this book, cuz it's a "how to" and kind of a reference...but the book is called "HOME COMFORTS, The Art and Science of Keeping House"

i absolutely love it. it tells you everything, from how to care for different kinds of fabrics to the proper way to set a formal table.

it tells you how often certain chores should be done...daily, weekly, monthy, yearly.

it is just so informative, and keeps you motivated for getting chores done....i especially like the "broken window rule" which basically is when a window in a neighborhood is broken, and left unfixed, it slowly causes the breakdown of the whole neighborhood because people get the feeling it's not a place to take care of......

the same applies to just one dish left in the sink...others come along, and don't feel bad leaving things a mess, because they didnt start it.

interesting.

anyways...if you are into this kind of stuff...get this book! it's great!
