Book: How to love yourself, sell a colander expensive, pump your brain with TV shows and other stories from Ellen DeGeneres

In my time, carrying a phone with me did not work, because it was attached to the wall in the kitchen. If someone spoke on the phone, he spoke on the phone; this activity could not be combined with anything else, except perhaps flipping through an old cookbook or looking for a coin lying around in a drawer. It was impossible even to bend over and tie a lace without the risk of being strangled with a three-meter wire.
