Short week........taking my daughter to Rome for six days for her Sweet 16th Birthday. A rather impulsive, last-minute decision (literally one week's notice!), when I realized she'll be out of the house and off to college in only two years , whether we go or not and I'll never get this time back again.
Before I leave though, I have managed to squeeze in a couple of deliveries, specifically a Godfather/Sopranos/Goodfellas-gram for Barbara's 50th Birthday from all her girlfriends in "The Book Club Chicks"; a group of women who get together periodically to socialize and discuss a book they have chosen to read.
Sometimes, if the author is within the New York area, they invite the author out to their home to talk about their book. The last book they read, Sleeping With Mortals, by Catherine Goldstein is tell-all tale about a New York mistress, who decided at 19, that she wanted to be a career mistress......Ms. Gold-Digger, er....I mean, Ms. Goldstein writes a slightly "fictionalized" account of her life.
Roundly panned by Barbara's Book Club, they all had a good laugh and relived it again, as "Beansy" claimed to be Ms. Goldstein's agent and was here to settle some scores!
Rome.......it's enough to consider opening a Preppygram franchise in the City of Love.
Ciao!
Kerry
