... inspiration to write anything that to me, was worth saying. But more recently I have been inspired to share my most recent experiences.

Its December 6, 2009 and Jimmy is leaving in 9 days to come see me. I will be flying into Portugal shortly after his arrival to spend the Holidays and our 5 year anniversary with him. I can’t wait. At the end of this month it will have been four months I have been gone for California. I can’t even ...

... Le lendemain, on est allé se promener à Lyon. C'est à peu pres comme dans toutes les grandes villes francaise; il y a le vieux-lyon, les basiliques et cathédrales, les boutiques, et la nourriture, patisserie et croque monsieur qui t'appelle en permanence!
On se préparait mentalement pour le soir puisqu'on savait très bien qu'il allait avoir beaucoup de monde pour la première journée de la fête des ...

... they had a large collection of Rodin sculptures, which I really like. Also, because I was under 26 it was completely free - including the audio guide and the temporary exhibitions. How fabulous is that? I think we should do a similar thing in Australia - it might encourage more people to go to galleries.

After the gallery I got on the metro and went to the silk district. Lyon is the silk weaving capital of Europe, or was historically at least. I visited the silk museum ...

... my party friends but deep down as long as I am challenging myself and working hard I can be content, no wait, happy, with the “American dream”. Humans are always searching their whole lives for their purpose. They find themselves married with two or three kids, a mortgage and a pretty pathetic sex life since they got married and feel unfulfilled with their accomplishments. But the truth is that we don’t have a purpose, we are here ...

... book “chasing harry Winston” read a bit but its content was too hard for me to follow. Retreating, I then moved onto the twilight series which I was so excited about but I can’t reread books. I love reading and can LOVE LOVE LOVE a book but I can’t ever reread it. I need the unknown, the suspense and the climax of it all.

Last Sunday I found myself in the Virgin records store where they have a book section. I ...

... But I am convinced to keep my figure slim with the exception of a few pounds due to the changes in food I cant control. Today I went on a walk/run in the countryside to 1. Be healthy 2. Get out 3. Boost my endorphins 4. Take advantage of a rain free day 4. Boost my metabolism 5 burn some calories while I am at it. This was the first time I have worked out since February, which for me is insane. With ...

... me because that means I am going to get old L To think that he will
be my age in 20 years and I will love him with all of my heart and be the best
god mother, auntie and best friend to his mommy I can only hope he will care
for me half as much as I care for him, because that would still be a lot J.



I suppose that is enough rambling
on for now. Hope I didn’t bore you all. Next time I will be able to tell you
about my Friday night at my friends ...

... wasn’t even there yet, ha oh France you never let me down! I was pretty thrilled when I walked in the classroom to see half the class blonde and the other half Asian. Awesome, last time I was in a class in Pau there were lots of Asians and they tend to stick together and not really integrate in the French culture (which makes me question why they moved there and are taking language classes). HHMMM the group of blondes, Swiss? Dutch ...

... year and his shows are played out to families enjoying their ice creams. The summer months are particularly pleasant, when you can take a boating trip out onto the lake to cool down, or simply soak up the sweet scent of the botanical gardens and treat yourself to a Flake 99.
