It's Me, Sara Louise

{My Knight in Scuffed Nikes}

++ The Husband traveled 62 miles each way to get me a Starbucks. OK, kind of. He was at Marseille Airport with Brother-in-Law picking up a friend when he saw that the new Starbucks had finally opened up. (Remember when I spotted the sign during the summer and had a happy little freak out?)  He called and asked if I wanted him to pick me up something. My response was basically along the lines of, “Um, yeah, don’t bother coming home unless you have a vanilla latte, and you must do everything in your power to keep it warm, and spill free.” About an hour and a half later, my Knight in Scuffed Nikes arrived home with a lukewarm Starbucks cup and I couldn’t have been happier.

++ I got a phone call from someone letting me know a ‘gold expert’ was in the area and if we have any gold or jewellery in the house, this ‘gold expert’ would be more than happy to come by and appraise it for us. Oh, sure, come on over. Does anyone actually fall for this? I certainly hope not.

++ Dr. Seuss isn’t that big in France, which I think is more than a little sad, so when I came across The Cat in the Hat on Amazon written in both English and French, I just knew I had to buy it for La Petite. And I went ahead and threw ‘Poisson Un, Poisson Deux, Poisson Rouge, Poisson Bleu’, ‘Les Oeufs Verts au Jambon’, and ‘Horton Entend Un Zou’ in my basket for good measure. La Petite is going to be fully Seussed by the time I’m finished with her.

++ My GFC hovered at 666 for a bit, totally freaking me out. Not that I’m super superstitious or anything, but it’s still felt spooky and I didn’t like it one bit. So a big thank you to number 667. (And of course a big thank you to all of you. All of you make me very, very happy.)

++ I already have The Husband’s Christmas present bought and shipped to my mother’s house in Texas. I’m feeling quite chuffed with myself for being ahead of the Reindeer Games this year.

++ The Husband’s Xmas pressies were sent to my mother’s house because she is returning to The LPV for Christmas! (Fifty is beside himself with excitement). And not only is she bringing herself (the best Christmas gift ever), but she’s bringing Christmas jammies for the whole LPV Crew… even Gatz! We’re going to be quite the festive bunch this holiday season. And I’m sure I sound like a loon, talking about Christmas and festivities when it’s not even Halloween yet, but it is only 56 days people, and that’s not much time at all.
