good friday
Want to know why my Good Friday was a good Friday? 1. It stopped raining yesterday long enough for The Husband, Honey Jr., Honey’s Honey and me to have l’apéro outside (April showers and all), even though it was kind of cold. OK, it was really freaking cold. Honey’s Honey and I were bundled up in…

hotel toulon
I’m a lucky girl. Not only do I get to live in The LPV (I love calling Le Petit Village The LPV, makes me feel like a gangsta), one of the most beautiful places on the planet, get to drink delicious wines as cheap as soda, and sample all the cheese I can stand, but…

escape to Aix
{happy girl} Do you see this smiling face? Aidan is smiling because she managed to escape to Aix-en-Provence sans husband, children, and dog to meet up with the girls (not an easy feat let me tell you), and since it’s not often that we get to see each other without husbands, children, and dogs, we decided…

the debacle
Here’s the thing… I like to stretch out my birthday for as long as possible (you’re totally surprised by this, aren’t you?), and this year, the bajiggityness of living in Le Petit Village made this very easy for me. You know how my actual birthday was last Saturday? Well my original celebration plans went like…

Merci RoRo
Not only is February my most wonderful time of the year, what with my birthday and Valentines day and all, but it is also when The Six Nations kicks off. And, it always begins on my birthday weekend (and fyi… the Superbowl is always that weekend too… it’s very sporty my birthday). This year it started…

crêpes & rugby
{I forgot my camera} The last time I watched Clermont play Ulster, I was in Bono’s Octagon Bar in Dublin, sipping on a Grey Goose martini, with an afternoons worth of shopping bags scattered at my feet. Last night, I watched the two square off again, but instead of snacking on vodka soaked olives, I had…

yep, that's about it
The weekend pretty much went down like this: Friday night I wanted pizza… and to any of you who read me way back when, you’re probably saying to yourself; no silly, pizza night in Le Petit Village is Tuesday night, everyone knows that. But what I haven’t told you, is our old pizza man gave…

my favorite Christmas ornament…
… (besides my ceramic, miniature red Starbucks cup) is this Guinness t-shirt beermat and I’m going to tell you why… it commemorates one of my favorite weekends of all time. It started on a Friday. I had taken a half day at work and as I left, I picked up some lunch and headed over to…

it's all gone pete tong
What a weekend. I’d call it one big fail but I enjoyed it too much. Honey Jr and Honey’s Honey came over for dinner Friday night and I totally flubbed it. I was cooking this delicious (downright scrumptious really) recipe; Pan Roasted Chicken with Lemon Garlic & Herbs, and it called for shallots, but I…

happy accidents
{the mausoleum} Do you know what a happy accident is? Well, in case you don’t, it’s like when you stumble across something completely unexpected, and it’s completely wonderful too. For instance, when you find the absolute most perfect pair of shoes, and they end up being like, 30% off… voila… happy accident. Something like that…
