Revival of One Million Stories to Tell, Starting with Oppy Birfloff
I have a little story to tell, it goes like this: Once upon a time, I moved to Paris, and I put pictures and stories on the interweb so I could keep up with friends at home, and then I got really behind and felt compelled to keep everything in chronological order, but then felt […]
I Want to be Near You Always
Story time. This is a tribute to my Albanian boyfriend, Alexamder, who I met in Greece. We’re all laying on the black sand beach in Santorini. Just laying and sighing and getting sun. Our four sun chairs were spread out pretty far apart because we were all trying to get in the sun, and the […]
Greek Island Bliss: Blue, blue & blue
Blue, blue & blue. The famous Greek islands of Santorini & Mykonos did not disappoint. I decided this will be my apartment. You are welcome to come visit anytime! The address is Tiny blue window by corner flower pot, 1,000 Foot Cliff, Oia, Santorini, Greece. But let’s begin on the plane. My favorite things in […]
Things I love, including jazz, hat lady, & Pierre
Snapshots: May 7-13, 2012 Monday, May 7th There’s nothing quite like jazz in an old underground wine cellar on a Monday night. I logged that away as another reason I love this city. Two hours earlier I thought I would work late and then go home, but instead, I met my two fave friends Maygan […]
Chez l’Ami Jean: The Way to a Girl’s Heart
Through her stomach. That’s the saying right? Girl…man…turns out it’s a universal sentiment, and in the case of Chez l’Ami Jean, even with bad behavior, you can do no wrong. That’s right. We’re returning to my favorite restaurant. And even for me, a record was set this time – 2 times in a week. Best, […]
Snapshots: 4.30-5.06
First of all, just want to say thanks for all the shout-outs and emails and such in response to my beckoning forth in the darkness to know if my friends are still there. You are, in fact, there, and my heart is WARMED by it!! WARMED I say! Seriously, I love it, it makes me […]
Heart-to-Heart
The blog thing is weird. The whole point is to feel like I’m still connected, that people know what’s going on in my life, and I’m not just secluded across the ocean with no regular contact with anyone. But can we just have a quick heart-to-heart on this? It is just a one-way conversation, talking […]
The Beautiful Island of Palma de Mallorca
By the time April rolls around, we have been sitting in nearly 7 months of cold and gray. I sometimes forget what the sky looks like. Which means a trip to the beach is necessary the moment I think the sun could be out somewhere giving warmth. This time, that plan was the Spanish island […]
Snapshots: 4.16-4.22
Monday 4.16 Simon has never looked so manly, driving off on his Harley with a tiny dainty jewelry bag. Ta-ta! (And congrats!!) Trying to gently break into Patrick Roger praline egg #2. There’s no way to describe the anticipation of trying to gently rip into this thing. Although Jillian is doing a pretty good job […]
Palma de Mallorca: Stunning Scenery & Salt Mountains
Palma de Mallorca…What a beautiful place. I never would have thought of renting a car if it hadn’t been for the cloudy weather. I only came for sun & beach. But if you can’t go to the beach, then you have to find a back-up plan. Having a car allows you to see the stunning […]
