They gave us a studio on the 6th floor with balcony from which we can see the Eiffel tower up close and personal!:) I went out on the hour with a glass of wine and saw it twinkle:) I've also seen some amazing Christmas lights on the bus from Gare du Nord yesterday (bus 42 goes on the Champs-Élysées and the avenue Montaigne:)). Really looking forward to the Christmas light tour on the 25th:)<br /><br />Maybe next year we'll all be here, who knows?!:) Here's hoping!<br /><br />Cheers!:)Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360905353598716073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-61024420204665178972011-12-22T07:45:34.907-08:002011-12-22T07:45:34.907-08:00Holy moley...suddenly I can post from work..so I j...Holy moley...suddenly I can post from work..so I just had to..<br /><br />Merry Christmas MJ...the best to your whole family with the new year..especially the Loosh when he gets back to school...he'll love it I'm sure.<br /><br />(and that slice of cake is too funny)debbie in torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606750113188414437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-29312341024601043072011-12-22T02:22:27.865-08:002011-12-22T02:22:27.865-08:00So glad to see the Paris coat made it to the train...So glad to see the Paris coat made it to the train museum.

It's really rude to leave less than a "portion"; wise choice just polishing off the tasty little suckers. Have you noticed the wacky flavor they make for the holiday?

As I mentioned to you before...I. Am. So. Homesick.<br /><br />As I mentioned to you before, Dinosaur Ridge is maybe 10 to 15 min, max, from my high school. And the Colorado Railway Museum in Golden is about 10 mn from the elementary school where I went. MJ IS IN MY OLD STOMPIN' GROUNDS!!! Wooo hoooo! :D<br /><br />I am so glad Lucien got to go to Dinosaur Ridge, finally. So exciting for him!<br /><br />And hey, Oreos so exciting for you. I get it. I really do!!<br /><br />OMG. That slice of cake -- LMAO!!!!!<br /><br />Stop saying you don't have a blog. This was all totally blogworthy, IMHO. Keep 'em coming! I wish I could even get a blog out, these days. I'm so blogstipated! Actually that is not true, I have plenty of ideas, I just don't have the chunks of time I want to really sit and write. So I drop little stuff on FB instead. *sigh* I am envious of your blog regularity, my dear. What's you secret? Do I need more fiber? More cake and Oreos? LOL. <br /><br />Thank you for the lovely peek into your life Stateside, and for pics and words about my hometown. Give Denver a big warm hug from me. Well, not literally. Metaphorically, haha.<br />xx<br />KarinKarin B (Looking for Ballast)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592528618484082434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-36177862743101774612011-12-21T08:47:40.617-08:002011-12-21T08:47:40.617-08:00Hahahaha...welcome to the Repatraiation 15!

I can finally comment from work!:)
That'...Hey! I can finally comment from work!:)<br /><br />That's a very HONEST piece of cake, if you ask me;) I think I will freak out too when I see the portion sizes the first time I eat out in a restaurant back home ... and get that very-taken-for-granted-in-Canada-but-oh-so-elusive-in-the-Netherlands customer service!:) <br /><br />The Belgians railroad workers have decided to go on strike TONIGHT!! Which means that every one who was scheduled to go to Paris by Thalys between 6 pm tonight and 8 pm tomorrow night had to change their plans! Talk about chaos! My boss is really cool, so she let us Parisian revellers take an extra day and a half so we could go this afternoon (there's 5 of us here!) and I was able to change my ticket after 4 hours of being jerked around, but I'm not even sure things will be sorted by the time my husband is scheduled to leave on the 23rd... Chances are he'll spend Christmas here alone while I'm alone in Paris... What a mess! Oh well!<br /><br />This morning, I was thinking of what you said about life in France (and in the Netherlands, as it turns out) being great but sucking so much energy out of you! I am completely drained. I wonder why everything involving customer service here is so damn hard (ah yeah, it's because THERE IS NO FRIGGIN' CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!).<br /><br />Oh well, tonight, I'll see the Christmas lights on the Champs Élysées, and for the next six days, I'll be eating fresh baguette with cheese like it's going out of style:) How's that for a silver lining?:)Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360905353598716073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-45738074591063470142011-12-20T23:06:07.497-08:002011-12-20T23:06:07.497-08:00Glad you're having fun with your folks, MJ, bu...Glad you're having fun with your folks, MJ, but pace yourself with the junk food, because you won't be able to keep wearing that pretty Parisian coat much longer otherwise ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-45288294897169108572011-12-20T21:43:00.639-08:002011-12-20T21:43:00.639-08:00Huge slices of birthday cake, beanie-weenies and S...Huge slices of birthday cake, beanie-weenies and Sonic burgers.
