Three quickies

posted in General |

Georgia hit it on the head; I was looking for advice on coaching my kid through these times, not fiction books to provide her with role models. Thanks, GJ; I’ll add it to my library list.

Note to self: If you’d yell at your kids for making that sort of lunch, don’t eat it yourself. Yeah, I’m talking about the three pieces of licorice, pickle, hunk of cheese and handful of almonds. Suck it up, fuzzball.

And lastly, if your compost pile smells funny, and you think it needs more air, is it kosher to toss in some OxiMagic instead? Because turning over a stinky compost pile isn’t fun, and OxiMagic might be easier…

    Supercool! Two other recommendations for you:

    1. Reviving Ophelia -Mary Pipher
    2. The Secret Lives of Girls - Sharon Lamb

    There’s also Odd Girl Speaks Out by Rachel Simmons (interviews with girls) and The Body Project by Joan Jacobs Brumberg, which is about changing body image over the last 100 years. I found that one fascinating.

    I actually have all of these; I was using them for research for my first novel. But I’m done with them and would be happy to just send them to you. With 900 square feet of living space, you’d be doing me a favor. Let me know, and hi to all three of your lovely girls.

    That sounds great. We have the first one (Pipher) but we’ll take the other two :) Thank you.
