An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

My baby is going to the hospital today.


Ok, Ok. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. I'm taking my mac into work to upgrade the OS.

Same thing, right?

I'm super excited about it though!

I can feel the earth move under my feet

Woah.

We just had an earthquake!

It was a good one too: 5.6 centered about 45 minutes south of here.

Yowza!

Everything but the kitchen sink

I was in Walgreens this afternoon and the guy in front of me had the following items in his basket:

4 bags of assorted Halloween candy
1 bottle of Coca-Cola
1 4-pack of Play-Dough
and a pregnancy test


Hmmm.....

This is all too familiar!

The close of financial business in France

I finally closed my French bank account last week. Actually, I was quite surprised at how quickly they closed the account and transfered the remaining money. It only took them one week and I only had to send one email. Incredible really.

It is a bit sad though. I no longer have an "offshore" account! How will I continue to fund my illegal and immoral activities?







Only kidding! Of course I'm not involved in ANY of those kinds of things.

A Twist

I had The Dream again last night.

Only this one seems to have evolved a bit and I actually ended up spending a teeny bit of time with Darren and he actually said that he does love me (!), and we snuggled quite a bit (!!) but of course he could only stay for a moment and then he had to leave because he had dinner plans with his father; and as he drives off I realize I don't have any way to contact him and that he is gone again until he decides to come back and maybe I'll see him then, if I'm lucky.

Weird though - in 10 years (ok, its been MORE than 10 years now! Jeeze!) I have never spent a moment of time with him during these dreams.

I wonder what has changed?

Amazing Images

This commercial absolutely cracks me up. I mean it - every time I see it I laugh out loud.

Listen to the guy, but pay attention to what is happening in the background.

How subtle!

"Les bonnes vieilles traditions Americaines!"

Nico sent me a great newspaper ad for a grocery store in France. Here are two of the four pages of the ad. I just LOVE the "American" products they are offering! Hot dogs in a jar! Onion rings! 1000 island salad dressing! Even the girl looks so American! ;)
