another update!

so...this looks like one of those monthly blogs...totally not my intention, but i will get better! i will, really, i will!

my latest updates:

1) i found out that my stagiaire (intern) at the new job could be a far far faaaar distant cousin of the boy (how funny is that?)

2) i discovered the coolest and yummiest sushi restaurant in paris...its one of those conveyor belt sushi places, but instead of a chain, this place is super chic and if you sit at the bar with the conveyor belt, you see the chefs preparing the sushi themselves....and this place put yummy big chunks of fresh tuna and salmon in the maki.....hmmm! one of my new friends in paris introduced me to this place and i ended up taking the boy to the same restaurant for his birthday 4 days later....(and he LOVES sushi...i like sushi...but he can eat it everyday). and when i think about it, i've actually eaten a LOT of sushi lately....for fun, for birthdays, for work....thats a lot of fish! and here is another funny sushi story....there is apparently a great sushi restaurant in the new aquarium in paris (isn't that just somehow a bit cruel?)

3) because of work and my boss's emergency trip to India for work, i now know how to get a visa for India in less than a week...especially if you are in france and not french....i never knew how hard it was to get a visa for India! the man hours i spent last week in getting this freaking visa...i almost had to fly back to NY for a day to get it!

4) we celebrated both of the boy's parents' birthdays this month....in additon to a bunch of others and the boy....why is everyone born in February??

5) and did i mention how much i love my new co-workers?? we've gone out a bunch of times and i also just recently got in touch with a bunch of other expat wives/girlfriends who are in the same situation as me...hoping to see them this week!
