I am always amazed at how France can have some of the crummiest weather for days on end, yet, when the sun shines through...its like you are seeing your surroundings for the first time,...every time.

Something happened on the way to booking a flight...

Note to self: Dont mistakenly call 1-888-872-8358 for Travelocity.com, you get 1-888-FEETSEX instead. Whoa.....TRULY my bad. I was just trying to change flight plans...(by the way,...travelocity-756977658186 )

Sometimes we forget

Before France - Last girls night out weekend in NC/Out with Felisha and Mavis and a family (yes, I was intoxicated! lol)

Sometimes we forget that our friends love us. Sometimes we forget that our friends will miss us if we are not around or that they feel we are important to them. Sometimes we forget to notice how blessed we are to have friends that want the best for us and support us through everything with a hug and a smile.

I think I forgot that for a while.

But my friends know how to remind me and I feel truly truly blessed to have a bountiful (yet small) circle of TRUE friends that wanted me to know how much I was going to be missed when I am all the way on across the ocean.

Wow, I feel very special now.

Thanks for a wonderful night guys!

Sorting things out,...of my life

In between packing and trying to remain calm in my current world in North Carolina, I am also trying to prepare for my new world and new life coming up in France and my new FULL TIME at home profession of being a writer/designer (newbie) and taking my current part time business full time - web design. As you can see I have a LOT going on.

Packing is going................yeah.....just going. Its weird because I am only packing MY STUFF not MY THINGS...what do I mean by that? Lol Well I am not packing or moving beds, furniture, paintings on the walls, etc. That stuff I am either giving away or selling, but my THINGS, such as my craft supplies, clothes, personal sentimental items and toiletries,..I AM packing that stuff. The problem I have (being anally retentive) is that no matter HOW MUCH of these types of things I pack, it still looks like I have not really packed much,....because all my furniture, wall hangings and stuff is still out, around and existing as if my life is NOT about to be completely changed by a big move. Its weird and often times disturbing, but what can I do about it? I still have to live, cook, clean, sleep and just be in this apartment and have the apartment be FUNCTIONAL until I am ready to leave.
