Current Mood


Bonjour from Paris... Said with little enthusiasm. Everyone in Paris is gearing up for the big festivities for Bastille Day, July 14th, but I don’t give a shit because all I want to do is get back to the US and go to Taco Bell.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to leave this God forsaken city. All I can think about is California…I even listened to a Norah Jones album yesterday, for God’s sake. Shoot me if I start listening to Jack Johnson. I have big plans when I get back to the US but for now let’s focus on getting me out of Paris.

I have a huge surprise for you on Friday. You have to follow me on Instagram HERE to be the first in the know. If you don’t “DO” Instagram, check the blog Friday for the surprise.

  1. Oh Ellie! I wish I could bring you a nice burrito.
    That is a great photo, though.
    I know what you mean about the festivities. I have a hundred people outside my window right now waiting for the Tour de France to go by. They were out there at 8 a.m. and the bikes don't arrive until 2 p.m. Don't these people have work? 8 a.m.?!?!?!?

  3. It seems the whole world feels the same girlie. Meanwhile I had my first post-op mammorgram yesterday and I am cancer free. I have been scaring the bejeebers out of myself for a couple of weeks. Think I'll paint the living room. Pale gray.

  6. Norah Jones! god I listened to her incessantly when I was depressed. That is not good.
    I'll be watching your instagram to see what's in store for friday. Here's a BIG HUG. Hang tough
    I wish I was there in person, I could make you laugh, cause I'm kinda goofy.
    Too bad it doesn't translate in my writing.
    wishing you sunshine and patience, you'll be in California soon
    Love Bernadette
    Oh, my westie named Pilot says Arf and he's giving you a high five.

  9. Is that photo of you? Haha I hope you are not expecting too much of the U.S. I love it dearly but we have our idiots, too. As for cusomer service, which you mentioned awhile back France does not have, it is getting rarer here, too. However, we have Taco Bell, fried chicken, air conditioning, etc. Too bad you can't bring Teddy back with you, I bet Stephen Andrew would take him. Hope you have a good flight back, maybe the QE2 would be better? Love and peace to you. I think of you even when I don't comment❤

  17. That picture is exactly how I have been feeling too! Sending you encouraging vibes three days late...maybe you don't need them quite so much by now. I am in Northern California, but I have a feeling I might sense it when you arrive!
