04.30.08Question = AnswerSissi asked me: My question is:how did you meet your husband ? Would you like to go back to the US ? ( to live there not to vacation) How did you meet your husband? Drumroll... I met my husband online. At the time it was very embarrassing to tell anyone. I even made fun of others for meeting online. Then, it happened to me. Ha. Ha. Life is funny that way. Ten years later, it is as common as meeting someone at a bar, party, grocery store or church. Yes, people do go to the grocery to get picked up. I ...

07.23.07Monday equals laundryHeaps and heaps of it. To be exact a weeks worth of laundry with three accident prone (I admit it is from my genes) kids. I am looking at eight loads of fun. In Switzerland, apartment dwellers must abide by a laundry schedule. Each tenent in my building has half a day one day a week to get all their laundry done. At precisely 6:30 a.m. I made my way down to the laundry room on the ground floor of our apartment. I switched the afternoon (my usual time) with the neighbor above us. His wife is on vacation with their ...

03.18.07Love bugVilay and I will be married for six years this coming May. We have been together for almost nine years. I sometimes wonder why I married him. I was crazy. Crazy in love. Even today all he has to do is kiss me hard and I forget that I was ever mad at him. I think American women "talk" more about what is bothering them than French women do. We can be somewhat of a nag. When Vilay and I first got married he would kiss me to make me be quiet and now he has learned to ignore me. I don't see ...

03.16.07Ride with usVilay got upset with me when I was teasing him about priority to the right as a car ran a stop sign in the video below. It was not a priority to the right and it was the fault of the driver in the other car. Boy. Am I happy I am not a man. He was upset with me because he didn't want everyone to think it was his driving. You know...male ego. :) I don't like the priority to the right because I think it is unsafe. It is one of the reasons I am afraid to drive in France where ...

02.27.07Why do I want to be French?The Consulat Général deWashington asked me, "Pourquoi, voulez-vous etrê Française?" It was a little over four years ago. We had driven all the way from Ohio for this interview. I didn't get the French citizenship because my French wasn't good. I, also, didn't answer this question well. I told her I wanted to be French because we were planning on moving to France within a few years. I wanted to work in France. My husband and children are French. She told me that I could live and work in France without being French. She was correct. I have been doing just that for over ...

02.11.07Images of our lifeI love taking pictures. I regret that after we moved out of my mother's house that I couldn't take more pictures of our life in America. The cable for uploading picures from our digital camera was left in France. We were using my mother's camera until we moved in with my father which was only two months after we arrived in the U.S. So, we had almost four months of the children growing and of the places we visited that are stored away only in our memories. Our memories fade. This is why I love my camera. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Images of our life", url: ...

01.22.07I l.o.v.e. my FrenchMy mother had told me about a three bedroom apartment that is available near her home. She had seen a sign advertising it on her way to work. Vilay and I went to the complex to inquire about the three bedroom apartment. My mother knew that it is an income based apartment. If it wasn't then we could not currently afford to move out. Vilay must wait another 90 days after the paperwork for my mother's sponsorship of Vilay is returned to the USCIS before an interim work authorization will be approved. So, I went in and asked what was the ...
