Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these. I haven’t been posting all that much lately but I’m going to get back to it. I promise! So…French Friday. Have you seen “Midnight in Paris” yet? If not, you absolutely must. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. …
French Friday – While you were sleeping…
I think my favorite recurring dream is the one where I discover a previously unknown room in my house. I know I like that one better than the “naked in public” dream, or the one where the curtain is about to open and I realize I didn’t memorize my lines. Or the one where…oh, never…
French Friday – Rest and Restore
Thank goodness it’s Friday! This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive. I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room. But you know what? I’m not doing any of those things today. The bed is…

French Friday – Sort of…
It’s been a lovely day, although I can’t really say there was much of a French theme to it. A Margarita isn’t French, right? Oh, I did have two mini croissants for breakfast so that counts. I had worked really hard yesterday getting all the housework done so I could do something different today. I…

Bien dans sa peau…
Are you familiar with the French expression, “bien dans sa peau”? It literally translates to “well in one’s skin” or loosely, being comfortable with one’s self. This phrase was brought to mind the other night as we attended a 1940s-style burlesque show in Oklahoma City with friends. As I watched these young women perform, I…
French Friday – Dreaming of Paris
I just celebrated my 48th birthday and decided that I’m going to start planning for a 50th birthday trip to Paris. This is something I’ve always wanted to do and what better time? I pulled out an old calendar, cut out a picture of the Eiffel Tower and slipped it inside the cover…
