it was pretty much the happiest of days
On that happy day (last Saturday the 24th), I donned my Toulon rugby jersey. Normally, I don’t wear sports jerseys, but this was a special day… Mr. London was competing in his second Heineken Cup Final and since I couldn’t be there like last year, I wanted to lend my support, even if I was…

c'est ça
I thought I’d take a break from my tales from Paris (which is turning into quite the drawn out miniseries) to dazzle you with tidbits from my life here in Texas. Photos included. (‘Dazzle’ might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I’m feeling on the glass full side today). // How sweet is this?!…

So Long Toulong
Disclaimer: Technically the title of this post should read; So Long Toulon, but I felt like jazzing it up a bit, with a rhyme. It’s not the best rhyme in the world, but how about you humor me and pretend like it is. Driving to Toulon from Le Petit Village for the last time was…

Behind The Photos XIV
Today’s edition of Behind The Photos feature a hodge podge mix of pictures from the Autumn of 2010… snapshots of random bits of life in The LPV. And because it’s darn near impossible to think of Le Petit Village without thinking of every one’s favorite honey farmer, I feel it’s only right to kick off…

the unexpected
We’ve been gradually selling off items in the house, mostly furniture and big things; the couch, the dining table and chairs, Gregory’s weight bench and boxing bag, things like that. Then there’s those little things; small lamps, decorative storage boxes, canvas prints, things that I figured we’d end up giving away, I mean without a…

I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
I am so happy January is almost over. Not that I’m wishing away time right now because trust me, I’m not, it’s just that January is soooooooooo boring, and dull, and sad. BLECH. And since it’s so boring, and dull, and sad, I’ve been forced to also be boring, dull and sad and I’ve been…

Behind the Photos XII
I’m feeling nostalgic lately. But I guess with only thirty-two days left in The LPV, a big ol’ case of nostalgia was bound to happen. And what better way to deal with the nostalgia, then with another Behind the Photos trip down memory lane. This one features a family trip to Auvergne in the Summer…

this week
How was every one’s All Hallows’ Eve? I hope your sugar rush come downs weren’t too shaky. Mine was sugar free… no tricks or treats, just a lazy night on the couch watching Disney’s old Legend of Sleepy Hollow followed by the Johnny Depp one (We’re on a bit of a Headless Horseman kick around…

L'anniversaire de Mr.London
“I know what I want to get Bumder for his birthday.” “You do! Good! What?“ “A speaker thing for his iphone. It’s really good and really loud but it costs €200.“ “WHAT?! No. Find something else.“ “But he’ll love it!“ “Don’t care.” This was the conversation Gregory and I were having about Mr. London’s birthday…

les nouvelles
++ We saw the largest snail ever. We’re talking like, ‘World’s Largest Snail’ at the County Fair kind of sized. He came out during a rainstorm and I swear he was about half the size of my knuckle and big enough to be a pet. I would have adopted the little guy but 1. Fifty…
