1) working! not as many ridiculous hours as the job from hell...but still working a lot, but this time I actually like my job and my co-workers. one of my managers is from finland and he's hilarious with his accent and his anecdotes....
2) sleeping! i was totally pooped out last week....i think it had something to do with fighting and resisting a nasty cough and flu-like thing that has been going around like the plague here. i'm ok...and got lots of sleep this weekend.
3) meeting new people! i met a new girl from craigslist and had coffee with her a few times...still have a bunch of people to meet who replied to my posting on craigslist on meeting new friends....have a book club meeting tomorrow with my american wives club (though i didnt finish the book...i figure its ok because they have the author coming in to a reading), and the boy and i were super bold and brought over freshly-baked Ghirardelli brownies (made by me!) as a surprise to our next-door neighbors who just had a baby (4 weeks old!). not very french, but we've seen them several times in the elevator and never got a change to introduce ourselves since we moved in so we figured this was a good time. and they were pleasantly surprised! and our social calendar is kicking up.....too much going on....especially this week
4) i got a pedicure....yes, not exciting news, but it is one of my guilty pleasures....strangely enough, its not very a french thing to do...something about touching feet i think. but this was at my favorite spa in paris...a Valentine's Day present from the boy
5) my tummy problems have disappeared! it turns out it really was the diet coke and all fizzy drinks that was really causing the uproar. not gluten...though i should try to stick more to a gluten-free diet. its hard when you're working...as of now, i have not drank a fizzy drink for over 2 weeks...and i think i've kicked the habit....especially after i read a very scary article in the New York Times about diet cokes.
6) my parents came back from their first cruise.....not very exciting for all of you, but funny when i think about my own parents who do not seem like cruise people at all...and have never understood the point of a cruise but ended up LOVING it this time around....they think it has something to do with being officially over 60 (well my dad is over 60....my mom isn't yet...).
