I'm reading the autobiography on Peggy Guggenheim that Claire recommended to me a long long time ago. I really wish I had picked it up earlier as I love it.
I'm reading the Price of Privilege. Not very exciting but it's all about how I'd be a better parent if my children didn't have cell phones. Okay, not really. It's really more along the lines of how parents today aren't letting children learn how to solve their own problems and pacify an abundance of parenting guilt with materialism.
And speaking of parenting and skinny French women, I cleaned your room for an hour or so while I was on Sullivan's Island for your mom. I pretended that I was channeling the spirit of Uncle Marc since he wasn't there to do it. And, I got distracted from my task by Skinny Bitch which I came across while cleaning. While I'd love to be a skinny Bitch, I think I'd rather be a skinny French woman. I'm not sure I could give up dairy, coffee, wine, sugar, salt, all meat, eggs, white flour, and everything else that isn't derived from an edamame.
Can't wait until next weekend! Will wanted to stay with Aunt Lynda on SI this week as he didn't want to drive back today and then drive to Charleston again on Thursday. Silly boy...I would like to have stayed too!
Who is skinny bitch? I know you don't mean mom, because she loves eggs and is pretty nice...
I'll bring that french book home if you want to borrow it (though if you don't, I'll just forget to bring it (might happen anyway) since it has a lot of nice recipes)).
Thanks for cleaning our room!!! Why did you have to do that?!?!?
Claire, I'm so sorry that I didn't see you wrote that comment. I must keep up better with the blog. The skinny bith was crazy but Mary Rollins is now a vegetarian after hearing about the chapter that described slaughterhouses. She hasn't had meat since we came home from isabelle's wedding. I'm trying to be supportive and join her in the cause but, well, that steak I had for dinner was really tasty but the veggie sandwich for lunch was super yummy too...xoxoxo g.
Ah, it's ok. I have the comments emailed to me, which is why I always reply ;)
I forgot the book anyway, so don't worry! The french woman doesn't really encourage vegetanarianism (?), but doesn't discourage it necessarily... she also loves a good steak though. like me. Mmmm.
Guess it was only a matter of time before an actual family member became a veg head ;) Like ALL my friends...
it's now been 3 and half month since Isa's wedding and Mary Rollins is still a vegetaria. I think she's going to read Skinny Bitch when we're on Sullivan's Island next week. She wants to read the scary chapter about what happens in meat processing plants.
that entire things sounds scary. Btw, Isabelle just wrote me something about a game called "banagrams" which brought up Scrabble, which brought up that I haven't played in FOREVER, which means mom needs to be convinced that we have to go up to Ky, as well as possibly doing a Lex-Claireware party? I can start working (somehow) now!!!

I'm reading the autobiography on Peggy Guggenheim that Claire recommended to me a long long time ago. I really wish I had picked it up earlier as I love it.
Claire and I might be the only people who like this book, though :)
I'm still reading "French Women Don't Get Fat."
I'm up to the part where I read recipes before falling asleep at night... the book is not that long and the recipes are fun.
And Peggy Guggenheim is great. Isabelle and I make a pretty cool fan club too, if you ask me. (We are also fans of you, Auntie G).

btw, does MR eat seafood?
Mary Rollins won't eat anything with a face or the possibility that it might have a face if you looked really closely.
I'm raising Jack Spratt and his wife. Have you met my little carnivore Will?
Oooooh, I bet that little guy's enjoyment of hamburgers increases 110% when he can eat them in front of his sister...
