my honey
Winnie the Pooh: Christopher Robin, I think the bees S-U-S-P-E-C-T something. Christopher Robin: Perhaps they think you’re after their honey. Winnie the Pooh: Well, it may be that. You never can tell with bees. – Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree The Husband got to be an honorary Honey for the day. And he…

do you know the homemaker man?
{La Petite and her Tonton co-chillin} Oh yes I know the Homemaker Man but if you don’t you should because he’s capital F unny, a fellow Beastie Boy lover, and in his own words; Mr. Mom with two very young kids, one wife, three cats, a large dumb dog and a pink house so old the…

you can't, you won't and you don't stop
W H E W ! It’s that season again here in The LPV… BBQs, BBQs, and more BBQs. Not that I’m complaining, but sometimes a BBQ during the day turns into a party at night and then I tend to end up a big ol’ M.E. double S, never being at home, neglecting a sad…

sometimes, they get up to no good
{source} Another weekend, and another trip to Toulon. I’m talking about last weekend, not this one.

distr-Aix-tion
The absolute best way for me to wonder the streets (shops) of Aix-en-Provence without the dreaded huff and puff of The Husband in my ears is to keep him occupied. And what’s the best way to keep him occupied (besides food)? With his new man crush, Mr. London. We met Mr. & Mrs. London in…

Gatz turns thirty and a day
{drink me} It was 11:30, the morning after Gatz’s birthday dinner extravaganza, and I was having a perfectly lovely morning… sipping Barrys Tea, reading celebrity gossip, contemplating doing some on-line shopping and maybe my nails and not much else for the day when The Husband walked into the room… “Gatz wants to go out tonight…

oh, the places we will go
{my little pony} Coucou mes amis! Today I’m blogging over at Oh, the places we will go. Why don’t you pop on over and see me play a game of I Spy, and then stick around and visit fellow Texan, Selena, and see what type of adventures she gets up to in her new city,…
