This was funny; it had me laughing all the way through. I had been introduced to Paula Poundstone through NPR and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, but the book gave me a little more insight into her herself. I am happy to see that she works with what she has and finds the humor wherever possible instead of curling into a ball and deciding that it just doesn't work. She takes what she can out of each experience and builds on it! And it sounds like he's doing a fabulous job with her kids, her dogs, and not least of all her cats! She is trying to determine what makes a person happy, and in the end, she determines that happiness is not an all in one thing. Happiness comes in little bits and pieces, mostly driven by happy individual experiences, and, what she doesn't say, and accepting attitude.
Fun book!
