I love staying here long. I played princesses with my cousin Morgan. I've been a sneaky rascal in Mimi's room. And I hate the smell of crawfish.

In other Louisiana news, Frances got her ears pierced. This is her before:
And this her after:
The ear piercing went off without a hitch. No drama at all. My mother says it's because she was completely in charge and laid down the law. She said I'm too emotional and that Frances takes her cues from me. No one was allowed to be emotional. We went to the store, Frances sat in the chair, the slightest inkling of a tear appeared in her eye, my mother said that we weren't having any of that, and we didn't. So now we have piereced ears. I totally deny the too emotional charge, by the way.
We've eaten a lot of food, but most of it is food at home, which is so specific to my childhood and so filled with nostalgia that it loses a lot in translation. But trust me, there's a lot of food being consumed.
