We are currently in New York City staying at a hotel in SoHo. This afternoon we walked by the SoHo Laduree on Broadway (with lines down the block), which prompted me to finally finish out my Paris posts. Back to the birthday trip of two years ago. Once we returned from London we only had three full days left … Continue reading Travelogue: Paris past and present (part four)

“I know how difficult it must be…”
UGH. So what I really wanted to be doing while Blue Eyes is at his weekly Buddhist Meditation Meeting is writing another post about Paris, or even writing a post about how wonderful the recipe turned out that I tried for dinner tonight. The plantain tostadas with chipotle ranchero sauce, cilantro citrus marinated chicken, guacamole, … Continue reading “I know how difficult it must be…”
Confession to make
I write about how honest I am here on my blog, so I am going to make a confession that is a little uncomfortable for me. Sometimes, not very often and I am not sure exactly what in my mood brings this on, I log out of WordPress and I anonymously check cheater blogs. I … Continue reading Confession to make
Accountability Report: I cheated
Oh, oops, I can eat pumpkin, I think. Wait, that's not it... I've completed my first week on the Whole30 eating plan. We have enjoyed such delicious home cooked meals as turkey lettuce wraps, cajun shrimp salad, thai halibut curry and on the menu for this weekend is cottage pie with cauliflower mash topping, plantain tostadas … Continue reading Accountability Report: I cheated
Caught between
Two days ago I climbed into my beautiful car, slid onto the soft supple leather seat, started the engine--listened to it purr, and backed out of our garage. Not sure if I have ever mentioned how much I love my car. I am not an avid "car person." I have always chosen very practical vehicles. Cars that … Continue reading Caught between
Travelogue: a quick trip to London
We're still back in June, 2013. As part of our Paris trip, on Monday, we took a short jaunt to London on the Eurostar. It was fun. The Eurostar from Paris to London leaves from Gare du Nord (Northern Station). There is really nothing special about the station except I love to say it with a … Continue reading Travelogue: a quick trip to London
Travelogue: Paris past and present (part three)
By the second Saturday in Paris, Blue Eyes, The Peacemaker and I were completely over our jet lag. Unfortunately, the newcomers were just beginning to battle it. We decided to let the "kids" sleep in and we headed to Rose Bakery in the Marais for brunch. We had read really great things about this British bakery/restaurant/tea … Continue reading Travelogue: Paris past and present (part three)
Continuing to purge
Oh, geez. We made it to that Monday morning I was dreading and things aren't much better for me. Maybe I need to get out and get some exercise. I have been so tired lately, but today is the day to get off my ass and work out. Last night we went to a movie with … Continue reading Continuing to purge
Letting go of the dream
Ack. Why are Sundays so difficult for me? Maybe it is because I dread getting back into the weekly routine and I know Monday is right around the corner. Maybe I just hate the fact that we never get enough sleep because Blue Eyes' has a 12-step meeting at 7:00am on Monday mornings and he gets … Continue reading Letting go of the dream
Accountability Report. Time to check back in.
We are home. Hallelujah. Traveling is fun, until it isn't. Returning home after a long trip away usually finds me bouncing back and forth between happy exhaustion and anxiety over getting back into a routine. We returned home Thursday night and I must say, I was happy exhausted (no debilitating anxiety this time from returning to … Continue reading Accountability Report. Time to check back in.
