Day 3,503: Live And Eat Pie

Day 3,503: Live And Eat Pie

I am definitely still not back to 100% jet-lag-wise. Whew! Josh and I were podcasting tonight and I just about passed out from exhaustion halfway through the movie we were watching. Hit me all the sudden like a ton of bricks. The movie was good though! SO MUCH better...

Day 3,502: The Routine

Day 3,502: The Routine

I can feel the routine creeping back in today. Just barely. Tonight especially getting ready for bed. Feels good. I have a busy summer ahead of me; book to finish. House projects to handle. Work. Exercise. Etc. Feeling excited and positive about the second half of the...

Day 3,501: Tribute

Day 3,501: Tribute

Update: Joy rocked it on the bed last night. Slept all night. Snuggly. Adorable. And still. She didn’t move constantly and wake us up. She was perfect. Work today was up and down. I’m still way out of it jet lag-wise. The good thing is that I slept for eight hours...

Day 3,500: A Momentous Day

Day 3,500: A Momentous Day

Joy is (basically) old enough to sleep in the bed with us! …we think. We hope. We’ll see how it goes. We can put her back into her kennel if it doesn’t work out…but, she’s in freaking heat right now, so she’s wearing a diaper anyway. Here’s the thing… SHE IS SO READY...

Day 3,499: Only Gold

Day 3,499: Only Gold

Home. Absolutely WRECKED right now because of the jet lag…but this too shall pass. I was able to stay up till bed time. Hopefully that means I sleep through the night. Fingers crossed for me, folks. It’s quite the time difference. Nine hours. Though…it could be much...

Day 3,498: Errands

Twas one last day in Paris today. We did SO MUCH. Presents. Food. Carrying home clothes for JJ. We’re all sweaty in bed right now because we just spent the last hour packing. Weight limits are TRICKY. We’re leaving two bottles of wine at the hotel room. Sigh. They...

Day 3,497: Hot Train

Day 3,497: Hot Train

It was hot today on the train from Dijon back to Paris. But we made it! Woke up hella early compared to when we went to bed. Five hours of sleep I think? AND…ate a quick breakfast to go and ride for ten miles. TEN. MILES. (…on an e-bike, but still). Unfathomable just...

Day 3,496: Lit

Day 3,496: Lit

Man. We shut Beaune DOWN tonight. I…honestly had no idea we were going out. Twas sprung upon me, but once it was, I was honestly down. We went out with our two team leaders for this trip, and we had a blast at the downtown “club,” which was really a wine cellar that...

Day 3,495: Hawt

Day 3,495: Hawt

Y’all it is HOT here in burgundy. Did the morning ride, but skipped the afternoon one because I would have roasted. That was the WISE decision. Took a little nap. Clutch. Did some wine tasting at the Hospice de Beaune, which is a FIXTURE of the burgundy region. It was...

Day 3,494: Four Poster

Day 3,494: Four Poster

Sleeping tonight in a four-post bed complete with canopy. I think that’s a first. This place is INSANE. It used to be an Abbey. Now it’s a hotel. It’s hundreds of years old. Wild. The grounds here are INCREDIBLE. Just insanely gorgeous, nestled up against the base of...
