03.13.06Untouchable!While growing up, I LOVED the Harlem Globetrotters! I can remember sitting on the floor just in front of the television with my brother. We were both glued to every move these guys made. We didn't want to miss one spin or trick. With every spin of a ball on the tip of a finger that was sent bouncing through legs and up around over a shoulder to be spun once again on the tip of a finger, we were in awe. No matter how hard we practiced or how determined we were, we could not get that ball ...

03.09.06Question your government…it is your right and your dutyI don't know if the so called proofs in this video are true or not. That is something else worth discussing. I don't trust easily and in the case of media, I think that is a good thing. Information can be presented through media as facts and people tend to believe these so called facts without question. My husband found this video and told me I needed to watch it. I almost didn't because I thought it was stupid that anyone would think that the United States of America planned 9/11. As I watched the video ...

02.27.06Crystal Soles missing since January 24, 2005Georgetown Times has an article online about Crystal Soles who has been missing from Andrews, S.C. since January 24, 2005. Crystal Soles is my cousin and my aunt Gail is beside herself with worry. Crystal has a little boy that hasn't seen his mother for over a year. He may never see her again. I know it is hell for my aunt and uncle to go through each and every day not knowing what has happened to Crystal...if she is alive or not...where is she? My blog is not so big, but you never know who may read this. ...

02.14.06Losing my AmericanismI don't understand why my family feels so threatened by the fact that I have a French husband and live in France. It is hard for me to have a conversation without my mother getting defensive in regard to America. For instance, today I asked her to look at my blog and tell me if she liked it. Her first comment was that I didn't have a link to Angel Girl's blog on my sidebar (this from the woman that pretends that she doesn't even know what a sidebar is when I tell her to look at some of ...

02.10.06Just tell me who invited the Queen to dinner?!?One night, while still living in the states, I was setting the table for dinner. Now, keep in mind that before I met and married my wonderful French husband, I never worried about which side of the plate the knife or fork went on. Furthermore, I rarely used a knife. What??? A knife??? It's pizza for heavens sake! Steak??? Oh, I just maul it to death (just in case it isn't really dead) with my fork until my arm breaks off or the fork breaks or the meat surrenders! It is easy to see how this would drive my Frenchman crazy! My husband: "What? ...

01.01.06Happy New Year from Strasbourg, France!It is 24 minutes past the New Year, 2006! I can still see and hear the celebrations going on all around us. In France on New Years Eve it is legal to set off fireworks. And boy do they! All members of our family have been running from the front living room windows to the back kitchen windows to admire one explosion after another of color. C'est impressionant! To say the least. The air is now so think with smoke that it is sometimes hard to even see the colors of the fireworks! We have cracked some of the windows so that we can ...

12.17.05Chili in the pot!Thank you, Mom and Trav, for sending me a little bit of home for the holidays! I made chili soup like back home for dinner tonight. My brother sent me Brooks brand chili beans in the can and some chili powder back in the summer and my mother sent me saltine crackers with the girls Christmas presents. It is hard to find saltine crackers in France or if you do the crackers are outragously expensive. Same thing with kidney beans. A small can of kidney beans can cost you over two euro. I think it is getting cheeper and after tonights ...

11.28.05How American are you?You Are 52% American Most times you are proud to be an American. Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home. You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you! How American Are You? This is a cute little test to do and to be fair what it says about my "Americanism" is somewhat true. But, if anyone tries to tell me I am not 100 percent American because I do not support the war, live in another country, do not like the egghead currently in ...

11.24.05Happy Thanksgiving Day!Happy Turkey Day! Gobble, gobble. I am a little sad today because every Thanksgiving and Christmas of my life in America had been spent with my entire family. My mother and father are divorced but still spend holidays together with us, "kids" and the "grandkids". It is so my brother and I do not have to run from one house to the other or worry that we will not have the time to go to both houses. My father's wife, of five years, is French-Canadian. So, it was interesting having dinner with French and English filling the room. My French ...

11.22.05Peanut butter and jellyI enjoyed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last night. I must have had such a look of glee that even my french husband who swore he would never try that awful sticky stuff just had to try it! And, he admitted it was not so bad if I did not put so much peanut butter and jelly on it. You see, he is always tellling me I put to much Nutella, butter, or this or that on everything. He is right. It is an American thing! I likka it thatta way, as Little ...
