Blog-cation
I just got back from Christmas vacation chez The Parental Units in sunny southern California. My little getaway with Copain turned into an untintentional Blog-cation as well because A. My parents' computer is from the dark ages and B. I was having lots of family time and eating time and visiting friends time... and it seemed a shame to obsess about the blog during those precious moments at home. As a result, I feel completely out of the blog loop and have slowly but surely been catching up on my favorite peeps out there (those ones you see in the sidebar :-) ).
I have lots of updates that I'll fill you in on asap (it's almost the weekend which means lots of time for blogging!). To give you a taste until I can really get typing... my Copine gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and I was able to finish the blanket I started for her before leaving (pic on the way!). I even got to visit them in the hospital with Copain, which was very special since I never get to be home for big events now that I live on the other side of the world. Later during my vacation, I learned that another good friend (whose husband is a Frenchie!) also gave birth to a baby girl on the exact same day at the same hour - but in a different time zone. C'est fou non?! Two new sweet babies brought into the world...félicitations mes amies!
I'll see you this weekend my friends...photos and xmas cards and American wonderfulness coming your way!

Shout Out - Le Monde est Petit
Funny thing about blogs - you read one, which leads you to another, which leads you to another. It's like 6 degrees of separation - blogger style!
So here is how I came across Anabelle Tess of Pregnancy, Joy and Other Things, a Parisienne who happens to blog in English...
I often read this blog (blogger who has great bangs and inspired me to try to cut my own - insert scary music here)
which lead me to google this (how to cut your own bangs)
which lead me to this blogger, who also has this blog
and while I was reading this blogger, I found a comment by this person (a Frenchie who blogs in English)
and then a response by Anabelle Tess - commenting on why she blogs in English despite the fact that she is French! (see the comments at the bottom of the post)
When I saw that she was in Paris - I started reading...not only is she in Paris, but she just had a new baby (félicitations!) and her partner is American. Plus, she is creative (check out her other blogs!).
Le monde est petit non? Merci pour le shout out Anabelle!
PS - I did end up cutting my bangs all by myself - quelle catastrophe.

30 Days of Lists
Now that I'm back in the blogosphere (what happened to me for two full months? - yeah, I'm still figuring that one out myself), I have been clicking around my neglected blog list "Read This!" and have found some stuff that is très intéressant...
I'm particularly intrigued by 30 Days of Lists - a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic, Amy of Lemon and Raspberry and Justine of A New Beginning.
Sounds cool right? I may just have to try it...it sounds like the perfect way to jump back into the blog without completely overwhelming myself (which may be one of the reasons I had to peace out for two months...hmmm). I feel like I can definitely handle one list per day since I'm such a list freak to begin with (Type A confessional here).
Yes, I actually enjoy making lists - compartmentalizing my life...gives me a sense of I've got it togetherness. I get that this challenge is more of a prompt for creative expression and journaling than a list for the grocery store or the To Dos of the week, but I have a feeling it will give me the same feeling of happiness that any organizational list generally does.
Can I really stick to 30 days of lists? We shall certainly see mes amis...now I just need to figure out the ins and outs of how this challenge works - care to join me??
