Updates

It's 10:30 and I'm just now having dinner after bell choir rehearsal. As I haven't had much more than 1 hour to myself at night between arriving home and going to bed these past weeks, I figure the easiest way for me to update is to recap my Facebook updates ....

Random thoughts first, yet to be posted to FB :

--if I ever invite you over for dinner, check the expiration date on the food before you eat it

--Boston just seems so far away right now, and I wonder if I'll ever get back

--Saturday is the Christmas concert at church, and after bell rehearsal tonight, I'm no longer looking forward to it. Although, about 20 people from work are coming. Cripes.

--Sunday I am going to Ballet Russes at the Opera Garnier

Today : From church finance committee tonight, while discussing the Pastor's Discretionary Fund ... one woman says 'except then you still have people coming to the front desk hungry [and looking for money/handouts]'. Umm... it's a church, you share and do good work, right? And then bell choir put me in a worse mood. Bah Humbug.

Wed, 9 Dec : Dizzy this morning, weird.

(And also locked my keys in my apartment, still in the key hook. Luckily I have a spare set at work. So I get to work about 8, leave at 8:30 to go back home and hope the spare set works (in most Paris locks if your keys are still in the lock on the inside you cannot open it) I got lucky.

Tues, 8 Dec : Ohio, you disappoint me. [execution by lethal injection]

Mon, 7 Dec : Patriots, you're breaking my heart and ruining my Monday mornings.

Sun, 6 Dec : Bells at church today. Then tour of the famous Paris les egouts (sewers).

(Also, did you know that rats are the only animals that can survive in sewers, survive the bacteria, etc. That's pretty cool.)

Sat, 5 Dec : Back from IKEA - got nearly everything I needed, but should've bought 2 of one thing instead of 1 - gggrrr. Now off to BHV.

Fri, 4 Dec : It's 53 in Boston ; snowing in Houston ; and I have yet to turn on my heat in Paris.

(And Happy Birthday, Allison!!!)

Thur, 3 Dec : Finally got to the Louvre last night.

Sat, 28 Nov : Watching 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' on DVD. Only 2 days late, but it counts! (well, 1 day late as we had our T-giving celebration Friday night)

(But, I'm so 'Bah Humbug' right now, I have no motivation to watch the Christmas special ; and for me, I never feel like it is Christmas until I do watch it. Should be an interesting year for me then.)

Sat, 28 Nov : Up the Eiffel tonight (only to level 2 as level 3 was closed due to strong winds)

Sat, 28 Nov : Fontainebleau
