Started Friday evening. Completed Sunday afternoon. I was away from home for six weeks, and away from Blue Eyes for 4 1/2 weeks. I've returned home and have been here now for exactly 44 hours. Blue Eyes couldn't wait for me to get home, he missed me so much, that's what he said. Today he … Continue reading Pretty things

Six countries in 16 days
Enough about addiction recovery and clueless arsehole friends. Back in September I kept asking, begging, Blue Eyes to confirm, or not, whether we were going on a business trip to Europe in October. It was on, then off, then on, then off, finally on.... At the end of the month I ended up furiously booking … Continue reading Six countries in 16 days
Seven days in Paris
I'm not kidding. I am attempting to post seven glorious days in one of the most amazing cities in the world in one post. No wonder it has taken me so long to do this. Here goes.... Day One The flight I booked through Cheapoair (it's a real website, I promise, I've used it numerous … Continue reading Seven days in Paris
I’m sorry
Sometimes I feel like I need to put out a disclaimer before I start typing. Although we are moving forward together, me with Blue eyes, and I am healing, and I keep writing because it helps me feel better in the moment, this ride is so tumultuous, some days I feel like I'm going to … Continue reading I’m sorry
Can it be…
Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we, would we, Could we, could we? No no no, that is not what I meant to write, but as soon as I typed those words, … Continue reading Can it be…
Travelogue: Paris, March 2015 (three short days)
Whereas our trip to Paris two years ago was all play and no work (with the exception of the London meeting) this trip to Paris was for business. Meetings, meetings, meetings. I mostly worked from our hotel room at the Intercontinental Avenue Marceau. The hotel is small, boutique, with a very nice restaurant and included a … Continue reading Travelogue: Paris, March 2015 (three short days)
Travelogue: Paris past and present (part four)
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)
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)
Travelogue: Paris past and present (part two)
Above: Rue des Francs-Bourgeois As the week progressed, we continued to explore our little neighborhood, Le Marais ("the marsh"). I would imagine most neighborhoods in the center of Paris offer their fair share of lovely boutiques and fine cuisine. We, however, could not imagine a more interesting neighborhood for our temporary Parisian home than our apartment on … Continue reading Travelogue: Paris past and present (part two)
Travelogue: Paris past and present (part one)
A picture out the plane window as we leave for Paris Hey, wow, it's been a few days and we have since spent a weekend in Stockholm and then flown to New York City to visit our older son before returning home to our younger son. I wanted to share about our recent trip to … Continue reading Travelogue: Paris past and present (part one)
