home sweet home

verbicideBeing back is definitely bittersweet. I loved Paris. It was a fantastic trip. It was hard to come back, but at the same time, I missed everyone here. It was nice to be disconnected for so long, though. No e-mail, no phone. Just doing whatever we wanted every day. Not too shabby.
I journaled faithfully and there is going to be a link to a disgustingly gushy, overly descriptive, photo-ridden Web site coming soon. But today, I'm just recovering from jet lag.
One thing Paris didn't have was Hobbes. So I have to say I'm very happy to have my sweet kitty back.
I was supposed to take a sleeping pill and go to bed as soon as I got home, but I stayed up watching all of last week's finales, cuddled up with Hobbsie. To bed at 3AM, woke up at 6, and was finally persuaded out of bed by 8:30.
I got dressed, too-dressed for Seattle, but very Parisian, and I met Jeff for lunch where I completely bounced off the walls and Jeff reeled from the shock of so! much! perk! Hee. He's gotten used to quiet. You could see the man just cower from the spaz. Muhahahaha! We had lunch at Typhoon! and I talked until my voice was hoarse. I wanted to drag Jeff back with me RIGHT THEN so he could actually see it. But, sadly, non. But I gave him his presents, which was fun (handmade chocolates from La Maison du Chocolat and a set of mustards from Fauchon). Afterwards, I let him escape back to work and I wandered the public market, because I suppose I just wanted to grasp at whatever straws I could. I bought a loaf of fresh French bread (nowhere near as good, I can already tell), some bibb lettuces, tomatoes, red bell pepper, oranges, strawberries, and a few hunks of cheese from Beechers. I also bought an enormous bundle of wildflowers. Thus cheered, I've come home and tonight for dinner I'm going to make that roasted garlic/honey salad dressing that I love.
I'm so glad I've taken these two days off work. Later on I'm going to repot some of my herbs which have outgrown their pots. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some geraniums for my balcony. And I'm really going to try to slow things down. The past six months have been at breakneck pace and having untangled all my knots, I don't want to just twist them back up again.
Laundry's washing, and I still have tons of stuff to put away, but I just want to vege with Hobbsie for a bit now. And read about 300 back-posts. I want to know whatcha'll have been up to!
