A Glorious Evening Stroll
I got sidetracked during my last post because of the cobweb appearance while cooking “dinner”. Back to the fabulous Paris day! After leaving the meeting where I learned what to do with my millions by banking overseas in Belize, I decided to wander around the neighborhood. The Marais is one of the oldest neighborhoods in […]
Cobweb Soup & Other Paris Delights
Yesterday was such a wonderful “Yay for Paris!” day. Obviously I moved to Paris so I could have more time to be in the city and experience all of its magical amazing magic-ness…but then when I have my days off, I usually just need some down time to relax or need to do laundry or […]
May Day & Pastry-Buying Blackouts
On May 1st, everyone was walking around carrying these tiny packets of flowers: I had no idea why, but EVERYONE had one, so I felt compelled to partake in what was clearly some sort of official French ritual for May 1st, known as “May Day”, the official welcoming of Spring (also Labor Day. ) Here’s […]
Celebs & Croissant Class!
For the sake of chronological order, let me back up a bit. I had a really awesome Friday a couple weeks ago, the day of the Royal Wedding. First, Maygan and I decided to go to an English pub to watch the Royal Wedding live! We had fish & chips with a front row view […]
A Few Observations
Observation #1. Getting Behind. I’m getting behind on the blogging. I write hypothetical blog posts in my mind all the time as I’m walking around, and then I never actually sit down to do it. Someone should invent a device that automatically uploads thoughts into blog format, I’d really appreciate that. Observation #2. Cafe Arm. […]
G-L-A-M
Let’s go ahead and temper all of this euphoria & delight & Paris magical amazingness with a little bit of what I like to call “The Glamorous Life in Paris”!! This will be a recurring theme, and it’s very important to start singing Fergie’s song in your head. (G-L-A-M…). Very important. This is genuinely something […]
Euphoria Stage
I can’t tell you how many times in the past few weeks I’ve woken up in the morning, looked out the window to see clear blue sky, and declared to myself, “It’s the most beautiful day in the world!!” Because IT’S TRUE!! It has just been glorious day after glorious day. I can’t get over […]
Foie Gras & Friends
It’s about time I introduced some of the peeps in my life here in Paris! I’ll eventually do a full introduction of my coworkers, but for now, might I present to you…my only non-work friends!!! This is Maygan & Kyle. Aren’t they adorable? Dare I say, presh? My best friend from high school, Mindy, introduced […]
House Hunters Filming
Before moving to Paris, I sent a letter to the HGTV programming suggestions department suggesting that they pick me for an episode of House Hunters International, the TV show that airs 30 minute episodes showing people who are moving overseas and their search for a new home. Usually it’s only people who are buying houses […]
Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen
I’d been to Paris somewhere around 12 times before moving here. Sometimes for a week, two weeks, weekend visits when I lived in France ’04-’05, etc. It’s always been an unspoken rule, written deep in my heart, that I would never ever commit the oh-so-American crime of wearing huge hideous running shoes (this is akin […]
