Story
Within days of a series of monster solar storms slamming into earth, electrical grids fail and everything in the northern hemisphere with a computer chip ceases functioning. Electricity won't be completely restored for at least a decade, and the result is that everything modern life depends on to function is gone. Chaco is a well-educated freedom fighter on a death list in El Salvador. Having fled to the United States, he is in hiding by working for a wealthy couple as their handyman and gardener. Following the disaster, he reveals his true identity, and convinces his employers and their neighbors to follow him.

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle - and people in general - has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands.

The only thing left to contend with is her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a secret about her mother's past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future.

Publisher's summary
In The Beer's Folded and the Laundry's Cold: Mostly True Adventures in Housewifery, Paige Kellerman follows up her hilarious debut - At Least My Belly Hides My Cankles - with the natural next step-taking on budgeting, babies, and trying to keep the day drinking down to a minimum while staying at home.
At the core, it's a story of a woman who worked in an office and didn't, instead working on trying to make money stretch like a two dollar pair of panty hose, upping her fashion game to include occasionally wearing pants, and using dull childproof scissors to cut out coupons and wads of gum from her kid's hair.
Listeners will learn how to:
- Cry about student loans
- Accept the futility of cleaning while children are awake
- Make their spouse feel awkward, using only conversation
- Dance in the grocery store

I can see my wife in almost every page
Married for 15 years now and OMG can I see my wife in almost every page. From the internet friends, knowing a guy who knows a guy, the struggles of being a stay at home mom, a professional, a mom, a wife, etc. the author really grasps and conveys the feelings of housewifery. Loved the 7 Mondays. Get it. Listen to it. Laugh like crazy. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Amusing Listen!
I so enjoyed this tongue in cheek listen. I found the musing of the main character to be realistic in the aspect that its hard to remember what day it is when being a stay at home mom. The author was new to me, while I've listened to the narrator previously. I think the author did a great job with the humor in this book. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I requested a review copy of this audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Great performance made the book funnier
The content in this book is sometimes cute, sometimes funny, sometimes over the top. But Rebecca Hansen's narration managed to squeeze every chuckle out of this book, and even a few that might not have been written into it. Bravo to the best narration I've heard in a while.
The book is about a harried housewife and her daily toils. There were times when I wanted to slap her for obsessing on stupid things, misleading her husband about the budget, or forgetting her coupons at home. I think a good dose of focus (or Ritalin) would have made her a little more sympathetic and probably for a less funny book, but it's sometimes hard to feel sympathy for someone who is their own worst enemy.
A few times, I shouted, make a f***ing list! But alas, there would be no book if this lady had her s*** together.
But if you ever feel like a loser, this book will cheer you right up, so give it a spin and see just how well your life is going after all. It was still worth the credit, and I'd have happily paid for it even though I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Relatably funny even for a family guy!
This is a fantastically humorous look at the experience of an unwitting young lady as married life and motherhood steamroll over her naivete and initiate her into the "joys" of career motherhood and some well-earned maturity. The author's ability to write humor is an easy road trip for the listener with many laugh out loud moments as her experiences strike a resonant chord with those who have been there or are going through it.
The narration was well done though my wife found the narrators voice a little hard to listen to. I didn't have any problem with it however.

Share it with freinds
Overall, this is an entertaining listen. It could be considered a modern-day Ann Landers with a touch more humor. I'm actually a stay-at-home husband, so I could identify with many of the observations. It is a common theme to hear friends dismiss my job as audiobook narrator/producer and zombie novel writer as not really working.
Some of the bits seemed almost forced at times like the attempt to bring out the humor was more important and it made me forget what she was talking about. I did like how she always referred to her spouse as simply "Husband". I enjoyed it overall and would share the title with friends.
Ms. Hansen fit fine as the narrator, bet there were times when her voice would lull me out of the story and into a daydream. Of course, that could've just been the road as I listened to this as I drove to and from a dog show in my RV.
This title was furnished by the author/narrator in exchange for an honest review. I don't write "fluff" pieces, so if I love or hate it...I will not be shy in telling you.

Great Book!
Any additional comments?
This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.
The narrator did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.
If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

This story was not for me
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
This was more of a how to or not how to type comedic manual which I want a story and did not feel like I was getting. This wasn't like a technical manual. It just grated on my nerves. I'm sure this book will be perfect for others just not my type.
What three words best describe Rebecca Hansen’s performance?
Way too loud.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No

What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

Story
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).

These are the tales she'd tell if she met you in a bar... if she weren't too lazy to put on pants and go to a bar. Offering advice ranging from how to remain happily married to a man who refuses to blow his damn nose already to not creating An Incident at the cheese counter during an attempt at Whole30, she's you, only louder.

Story
Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits.

Story
What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

Story
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).
