Gregory vs. The Eggs
Today is my fourth wedding anniversary and I’m about 5500 miles away from my husband. After I moved to France, I never thought that I would be doing the whole long distance thing again, but here we are; me at my mother’s house in Texas and Gregory currently at this exact moment, somewhere on the…

ma fête d'au revoir
Oh Wine Bar, I think I’ll miss you most of all. I thought it was only fitting that my Le Petit Village goodbye party was held at the bar à vin, after all, I fell in love with the place the first time I stepped foot in it and had many a fun and memorable evening there.…

nine days to go
// That jeep was sitting across the street from the restaurant where I had my birthday lunch. I was this close to hopping in it and driving straight to The LPV (when I say, ‘this close’, you have to picture me holding my thumb and forefinger barely a centimeter apart with my eyes all squinty……

the birthday lunch
I like food. I like eating it, I like cooking it, I like reading about it, I just like, it. So it’s not surprising that I like restaurants too. I love trying out new ones and revisiting old favorites. Researching new ones for special occasions fills my heart with a special kind of joy, I…

mon anniveraire: un reportage photo
Disclosure: Since I like to stretch out my birthday celebrations for as long as possible, this is actually a photo essay of my birthweek. I’ve tried stretching it out to my birthmonth but 1. Gregory put the kibosh on that and 2. I don’t have that kind of time at the moment… drats. // My…

and then that happened
// Today, as in the 5th of February, is always my least favorite day of the year (except expat Thanksgiving of course, but I don’t have to worry about that one anymore). It’s the day after my birthday and I’m invariably feeling deflated like one of those sad looking helium balloons the day after a…

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…

precious moments
One of the most important things to do when maxing out your last bit of days somewhere is to spend quality time with those you are leaving behind. A couple weeks back I got to do just that with my cousin, Mrs. London. We decided to let Gregory join in on our girly time since…

There’s this restaurant not too far from Le Petit Village called Lupin Blanc. We used to go there all the time (like this time, and this one, oh, and don’t forget this one), but then the couple that owned it sold it and it changed a bit. Not loads, the food was still good but…

// Last night, Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was on French TV. We were watching bits of it here and there and I was explaining to Gregory who everybody was (he still hasn’t seen the three original Star Wars movies but I have promised to finally rectify that this weekend). I made the mistake…
