ode to thee
source: you had me at bonjour I know I left you guys on a cliffhanger with my last post, but there’s just something else I want to say today and I promise to tell you all about my move next time. However, I will leave you a clue… I am staying in Provence. I’m feeling…

you had me at bonjour
{source: you had me at bonjour} “Kirsty, do you want to bed with me?“ This is what my friend Kirsty thought The Husband said to her while we were having lunch last weekend. Understandably, she almost spit out her Rosé. What The Husband actually said was, “Kirsty do you want to bet with me” (as…

s.n.a.f.u.
{my glasses and me in happier times} It was Saturday morning. I was standing in H&M, shopping with Aidan, when I reached for my glasses, best to put them on in case we got separated in the store (people become furry blurry when they are more than twenty feet away from me), but they weren’t…

escape to Aix
{happy girl} Do you see this smiling face?

Avignon with the Ladies
I’m back y’all! Jet lagged and a bit all over the shop, but back. Plus, I brought a friend from Texas with me… Disco Gayle has descended upon Le Petit Village to reign down her loveliness and keep me company… a soft landing to get over the after holiday homesickness if you will (Disco Gayle…

A Testament to my Texas family in France
{rEdOnKuLoUs} There I was at Aidan’s on Saturday afternoon… wondering how I ended up with a nipple cream stain on the hem of my new dress (this is the type thing that could only happen to me. I’m a big ol’ M E double S) wearing my fab new finger accessory, aka doll jeans, and…

my date with Aidan
A couple of Fridays ago, I went out on a date with Aidan (The Husband, Honey Jr and a few others were there too, but I didn’t really care about that). I was so excited for my date with a fellow Texan, and for getting out of of Le Petit Village for the night, that…
