I have the most amazing life!!! Last week, I visited a little village just outside of Paris for the day and dined at the most exquisite restaurant. It is a little known cafe just off of Rue de Paradiso. I wish you could have been with me to see the variety of petite plates that they offered for brunch; Crespéou, Quiche Fromage, Gruyere Cheese Souffle, Orange-Walnut Bread French Toast and mini appetizers such as Goat Cheese truffles, Gougères (a bite size cheese puff), and my personal favorite, Roulade jambon chevre.
The weather was delightful. There was just enough crispness to the air that morning to remind me that I should have brought my cardigan along. As I looked around at all the passers-by I was not surprised to see how many of them were also enjoying the weather. The tune ever present in the air of birds chirping, and the aroma of wildflowers and grass was natures way of saying, notice me. It was a glorious morning and a much needed rest from the hustle and bustle of the city in the days before. I also enjoyed being able to unwind and get into the correct mindset for my trip to The Dunmore on Harbour Island in 2 days.
*Snap back to reality*
Last week was my first week back to work. A little bit crazy and a whole lot of fun. I have to admit that I was missing work a bit. Being at home was fun for a while, but working gives a girl a whole new sense of accomplishment. I do love work.... well, I guess I am not being entirely truthful. If I could find a way to get paid as much as I do with all my benefits, I am sure I could find plenty to fill my time without work getting in the way. Getting right down to brass tacks, shopping is much more fun than analyzing data, creating reports, and reading hours of worthless email threads.
Oh well. Affluent or not, I can still dream of pointless, random, and frequent travel to romantic, quaint and exotic locales.
Dream on Friends!
