Summary: My Wife Read the Entire Book Outloud!!
Review: I never thought I would like this book because my wife read most of it outloud to me, all the while she was hooting and howling with laughter. She kept saying, "Are you sure she doesn't know you?" It was curiosity that caused me to pick up the book and read it for myself - silently. I found myself chuckling at first and at times, laughing loudly. I really liked her many shades of men that she illustrated in her "Choose Wisely" chapter. I hope that I am a Cowboy.....my wife only rolled her eyes when I announced that I thought it described me to a tee. I sent Mimi O'Bara an email (from her website) and she sent me a very funny answer. She has a great sense of humor and a very realistic view of life. I recommend this book highly!

Summary: Rollicking Laugh Outloud Life Strategies
Review: I received this book as a gift from my sister who lives in Dallas, who insisted I would find it hilarious. I had my doubts beause I seldom get "Texas humor" however, I was wrong. First this is not Texas humor, this is Life Humor. O'Bara's observations and strategies to cope with a life filled with children, husbands and/or life partners, careers challenges and all the acompanying stresses and strains of everyday life are, indeed, hilarious. She cautions us that these are "survival guidelines" rather than the road to perfection. She celebrates the friendships she has with her woman friends, reminding us that we are obligated to all stick together,laugh whenever possible and cry together, when we must. She actually gives very sensible advice, all the while laughing and waiting for the next cataclysmic event to occur. Her husband, like mine, is an avid golfer and I howled with laughter at her description of "The Golf Effect".....as I read it outloud to my husband he couldn't help but laugh as well...somewhat sheepishly! I believe that I have found a friend....perhaps even a soulmate in Mimi O'Bara and encourage you to do the same.

Summary: New Meaning to Multi-Tasking!
Review: Mimi O'Bara gives new meaning to multi-tasking. I recognize her family! This book hits home and is a must read for women who think the balls in the air are hitting them on their heads too often. Order two; one for you and one as a gift to give your career colleague who is also super mom and adoring wife and thinks no one understands her plight. Nothing takes the sting out of a bad day better than a good laugh. Mimi O'Bara provides more humor than the Comedy Channel. Kick off those heels and give yourself a fun break. This book made me laugh more than I can explain.

Summary: The Bible for Every Woman Trying to Balance it All
Review: Mimi O'Bara is a survivor, a super-energetic road warrior/mother/wife who has managed, somehow, to balance the competing demands on her time. She is also hilarious, with the view of life and repartee of a stand-up comic. Poking fun at herself as much as at those who get in her way, she has moved with high humor (and not a few frustrations) between the boardroom, her children's schools, and her imperfect (and totally normal) household. Giving personal examples of the disconnects in communication between parents and kids, the golf effect on husbands (the force which turns golf-addicted husbands into creatures from another world), the problems of running a house by long-distance, and a few personal embarrassments, she somehow manages to keep all these moments in perspective, telling a survivor's story, full of tips and helpful hints on how to juggle those "sticks of explosives" and keep them all in the air. May they never fall! Mary Whipple
