Like The Boyfriend In A China Shop
We made a visit to Baby Cousin’s shop in Avignon. The Boyfriend and I are going stateside in March and we wanted to pick him up some new clothes for the trip. Baby Cousin’s shop only sells men’s clothes (although I did buy a really cute button down in x-small that I’m loving at the…

I Caught A Fish This Big…
Last night, we were driving home from dinner in St Michel. The road is always dark without any lights, with thick trees on both sides, almost like you are driving through a forest (actually I think it may be a forest). We were laughing about something when suddenly… “What is that?” A huge wild boar…

Birthday Weekend Part 2
One of the most difficult things about moving to Le Petit Village was leaving my family. I have an amazing family, love my family. And I’m not talking about just the nuclear, I love my entire family, the whole kit and kaboodle; aunts, uncles, their spouses, and dozens upon dozens of cousins. We’re tight like…

The Birthday Weekend Part 1
I like to stretch out my birthday as long as possible, and have a birthweek because it only comes once a year (except once, I did have a 30.5 birthday party in August). So since it’s still my birthweek, I’ve decided to tell you about my weekend in two parts to help stretch it out.…

How I Spent I.D.A.
As much as I would have loved to have spent I.D.A. (International Day of Awesomeness, aka my birthday) pampering in some spa somewhere, that was not on the cards, I live in Le Petit Village, not Paris. So since I wasn’t able to get my tootsies tinkled or soak in a bath of mud, I…

International Day of Awesomeness

I'm A Girl Genius
Learning a new language is tricky and can be slow going. The way my French is at the moment; I can understand the majority of conversation and I can speak slowly to certain people. I think the certain people part has to do with feeling at ease. For instance, I can sit with Papa’s Wife…

Live at Le Jungle…
A quick trip to the butchers to pick up something for dinner and I was doing my best to avoid joining the conversation between the butcher, The Boyfriend, and the other man in the shop (everyone talks to each other here, small town charm). I looked around for something to distract me and lo and…

Windblown
image: wikimedia I now know the meaning of windblown. Yesterday the winds in Le Petit Village were whipped into a frenzy. A frenzy being one of winds so hard and forceful that you walked at a slant and had to shout to be heard. And if you want to know who I was shouting at…

Should Have Bought The Dyson
I wanted this… image: http://www.dyson.fr I got this… I begged for the Dyson but The Boyfriend wouldn’t hear it, “€3oo?! For a vaccuum?” “Yes, but it’s worth it. They last forever and nothing cleans like a Dyson.” This is the conversation we had in July when I was visiting Le Petit Village before moving. We…
