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…

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…

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…

Multiplication, The Serial Killer, and Some Champagne
The Boyfriend and I popped into the Honey house. We had a bottle of Baileys from Dublin for Mr Honey that had to be delivered. Mr Honey loves Baileys, he thinks it’s candy, but unless Mrs Honey is watching him carefully, he’ll finish the whole bottle. Normally when we get to The Honeys, it’s just…

That's Not Toothpaste
My Mother tried to poison The Boyfriend. OK, that may have been a bit over an overstatement, but she almost did. We took a quick trip to visit my Mother for her birthday. It was the weekend, I was in Dublin, and it was my Mother’s birthday, so naturally I woke up with gooey wine…

I Love Tuesdays
Pizza Night, Pizza Night, Oh how I love Pizza Night! The above needs to be sung while doing jazz hands, with your head shaking, eyes closed, and letting your hips have a little spazz attack. I’d show you a how to video but that would be embarrassing. The Skippie Team loves pizza night. Not so…
