Hey, At Least I Don’t Collect Navel Lint
Remember my vow to pare down this cookbook collection of mine? The one I thought was out of control? I learned something recently. Actually, I learned three things: I lack the necessary focus to stay on any cleaning project for longer than 1 week. Oh heck, even a day is pushing it.
