Paris Part Deux

Continued from Part Une…
Ugh! Can you possibly handle MORE Paris?
Well, it’s cold and I haven’t left my house since we returned except to restock the fridge. So, unless you want more posts about shopping at Waitrose, it’s all I got. (Deal)
Voilà, mes amies! More Paris, it is, but just the highlights. I promise.
Eiffel Tower.
I should [...]

Paris In Photos – Part Une

This is our second day home from Paris and piles of laundry are being ignored because I am STILL going through all of our photos from our trip…
… all ONE THOUSAND of them. Literally.
Thank goodness for digital. I’ve deleted most of the duplicate/blurry/”someone walked right in front of us” shots, but there’s still way too [...]

La Vie en Rose

Loosely translated: “having a rosy outlook on life”… or so my two years of college French taught me.
My French professor believed that anyone could learn a language. It was just a matter of throwing yourself into it with wild abandon and allowing the little “drawers of your mind to open up”.
(Why do profs always say [...]

You’re Mysterious and Old, But I’m Strangely Drawn to You.

This coming Thursday is our wedding anniversary, which I wanted to celebrate with a weekend trip some place stunning, romantic, and fabulous…
Paris? Roma? Milano? Brugge? Any of these would do!
Where did Mike want to go?
Stonehenge.
An hour and a half journey out of London with a toddler in tow to see a pile of rocks in [...]

A (proper) Greeting from London

Hello There!
No, I didn’t head to London and fall off the edge of the Earth. It only feels as if I have…
Sorry to have left you hanging, but we’ve been living without a working phone line or BROADBAND (!!) for the past week and half.
Something about having to run an entirely new phone line since [...]

Wow! I’ve always wanted a Big Brother…

Have you heard the exciting news about the U.S. terrorist watch list? Apparently, it’s surpassed the 1 million mark…
…and do you know who cannot get OFF that stupid list?
Umm… Only my husband, my father-in-law, and my son.
Now, tell me. Do these look like the faces of international terrorists?

They may not be perfect, but I [...]

An Unlikely Tourist

When I returned from London, I was eager to post the photos of my trip for you, only to realize I really didn’t have any to show.
I mean I have this one of Big Ben and the London Eye, but not much else…
Pathetic, I know.
It’s just with everything that we’ve have to do to [...]

My Fabulous New Life

I’ve been so consumed with our frenzied moving to London that I haven’t given much thought about living in London. Not any, in fact… well, other than picking up a few guidebooks Half-Priced Books, which I have yet to actually open.
I’m going to miss Half-Priced Books although I’m perfectly sure that there will be [...]
