The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing | Marie Kondo

This book is making me laugh often but all the while I‘ve been thinking “if my mom knows I donated these things she‘s going to have a fit” Low and behold, it‘s a common troubleshooting topic 😂😂😂

I‘m trying to spring clean while I still have some time off work so I figured I‘d get some inspiration.

AmyG Is this “death cleaning”? My friend kept calling it that when I was cleaning out the house and pcking for my move. My parents threw nothing away so I was determined not to do that to my kids. 6y

SkeletonKey @AmyG Noooo, it‘s not. That‘s a method I can‘t do, causes me too much anxiety. This is basically just EXTREME tidying/minimalism based on whether keeping something actually brings you joy or not. My parents are the same way and though I don‘t have kids, the burden is still ridiculous. 6y

Tamra I try to limit what isn‘t used w/n a year. NOT books! 🤣 6y

SkeletonKey @Tamra - I might...skip...the book...chapter 😂🤣 6y

Tamra @SkeletonKey 👍🏾😂 6y

Infinite Jest (-20th Anniversary) | David Foster Wallace

In honor of all the spider references thus far, I present you a photo of the black widow at Nashville Zoo. We took our boys this morning. 😁 This spider is part of an exhibit with the poisonous spiders found in TN (the other being the brown recluse). 🕷#infinitejestbuddyread

JenP That's cool! 7y

minkyb Keep them in TN please and thank you. 7y

mom2bugnbee Love the Nashville Zoo! The brown recluses all over the place, not so much. 7y

britt_brooke @JenP I'm fascinated as long as they are behind glass. 😉 7y

Soubhiville There are TONS of black widows there! I saw them in Knoxville almost daily in my garden. Luckily you pretty much have to grab them for them to sting, they're pretty docile. 7y

britt_brooke @asiriusreader @GypsyKat @StacksNShelves @8little_paws @8leagueboot @minkyb At least this one is behind glass, haha! I've not seen one around my house yet. 7y

britt_brooke @mom2bugnbee They are adding a lot of nice stuff to the zoo. It gets better every time we go! 7y

britt_brooke @Soubhiville I've not seen one at our house but I'm sure they're around. I'm always wary when looking for things in the garage, just in case! 7y

OrangeMooseReads Eww ewww ewww nope nope not even behind glass at the zoo 7y

readinginthedark @britt_brooke We have a great collection in the zoo insectarium in St. Louis, too! Like you, anything behind glass! 7y

DrexEdit Nope! *shudder* 7y

britt_brooke @readinginthedark The insects and reptiles are our boys' favorite things at the zoo. Some of the stuff creeps me out, but they love it! Today, the rattle snake was even rattling. #shudders 7y

britt_brooke @OrangeMooseReads @DrexEdit The tarantulas creep me out the most! 😱😱😱 7y

RealBooks4ever Spiders are our friends! 🕸🕷🕸 7y

JenP @britt_brooke my daughter likes bugs and she held a tarantula at he insect place in Denver. She asked me to hold it too and I had to pretend I wasn't terrified because I didn't want her thinking they were scary but I sat there shaking. 7y

britt_brooke @JenP 😱 You're good, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Speaking of CO, the one and only time I've seen a black widow in nature was when we lived in the Springs. She was living inside the ATM at the bank where I worked. 7y

britt_brooke @RealBooks4ever You're right! And they are pretty fascinating. 7y

JenP @britt_brooke I'd probably pass out if I saw one in nature 😩 7y

Amandajoy We have them in NM. I once found one in my bed while stripping the sheets off to wash them. Yes, I did go screaming down the hallway. 7y

britt_brooke @Amandajoy 😱😱😱 7y

Desha We have them in San Diego as well but maybe not as many? I used to live in an area of SD where we constantly were worried about finding them in the yard/garage/etc. 😳😧😱😨😰 7y

britt_brooke @Desha I'm glad that our exterminator is coming today today. Purely coincidental, but impeccable timing, haha! 7y

Desha 😂😂❤️ 7y

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream | Barack Obama

I have had this pic on my phone for two years for no reason other than it makes me laugh every time I see it. I'm really gonna miss having a POTUS with a sense of humor. It's gonna be a sad week.

Americanah | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

pick

Just finished this one with my book club a few hours ago. Needed some time to assemble my thoughts, because woah. One of the most thought-provoking, and yet still so utterly enjoyable, reads of the year so far for me. Adichie has crafted such a magnificent blend of truths (some more uncomfortable than others) and fine storytelling. I will miss Ifemelu and Obinze, after coming to know them so well. Highly recommend this one! #readit #noreally
