Hi everyone…. I guess it’s been a while since I just wrote what was going on, and because I know some of you care (okay many of you otherwise why are you even reading this?) thought I’d give you an update on life. Ever since Kilimanjaro and heading home unexpectedly, I never really got back into a…
“You’ll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you’ll be in a Slump. And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.” The slump is still slumpy, and Dr. Seuss was right, un-slumping yourself is not easily done….
One of my favorite episodes of Sex and the City is “The Post It Always Sticks Twice,” when Berger dumps Carrie on a post-it note and Charlotte is recently engaged. The intro is by far the best… a lovely Charlotte waves her sparkly adorned hand to flag a cab and graciously enters, while Carrie, reeling…
As we approach our trip to Iceland and then back to the states, I’m finding spending our time here completely underwhelming. And overwhelming. 18 days and counting. Sitting here looking at this computer screen and I want to be home. And be thinner. God this whole, “Look at me I’m trying to lose weight” thing…
Until very recently, I typically read blogs about mommas and babies, not realizing there is an entire world beyond spit-up, middle America, and reality television. I love those things, but I’m finding that by literally transporting my own life, and that of our family’s to Paris, France, has truly opened my eyes. I still enjoy…
Ugh. It’s one of those days…. where you’re not quite right but can’t truly identify what’s wrong…… just can’t put my finger on it. But in a nutshell there are no unicorns in Paris today. I apologize for the whining that is about to piss all over this post. I can’t find a better word…
Paris and its surrounding suburbs suffer the downfall of small apartment spaces much like any other large city. Our apartment search has shown us many apartments of around 70 square meters (750 square feet by US standards), which are definitely on the large side compared to others. And storage space is definitely an issue. Roughly…
This week certainly had some high notes, and low notes, but blew over quickly round these parts. I wanted a resolution on the apartment but all I’m left with today is the unknown. The one we love is still in negotiations (and there’s some backdoor politics between various parties that even I don’t quite understand)….
I have a confession to make. When I say I’m in Paris, I really mean I’m outside of Paris close to La Defense. Basically I’m separated from “Paris” by a suburb and walking to it is 6 kilometers away. People have been asking for more Paris pictures which I’d be more than happy to share…
The lack of posts is indicative of our movements here after our arrival on Sunday morning. Jet lag with a two year-old is reeking havoc on Momma. And HJ. Oh and Papa too. When we’re not running to the store to stock our small (even by Paris standards) frig, we’re being carted around Paris by…
