Lost in translation

November 28, 2006

Flickr photo by krazykritter I was gone all of two and a half years. However, during that short time Ohio changed. Alot. There are even more places to shop and eat. As if we really needed more. But, that is a small thing compared to another issue that is more important. I see a ”new” Mexican immigration where [...]

Looking back on 9/11

November 7, 2006

Follow this link to visit 9/11 from the window of a Mr. Smith’s apartment window. Once you have looked at all the photos, go back to the first one to compare it to the last photo. To this day I grow quiet and sad when I see images of 9/11 or think of that awful [...]

Missing the life of an expat

November 5, 2006

A guy that I work with asked me what I missed the most about living in France. I, at first, told him that I missed the food and culture. I missed the history. I missed visiting neighboring countries. You know. All the typical things. All the things that I do miss. However, last night while we [...]

Small town…big minds

September 21, 2006

Coretta Scott King sums up why I enjoyed getting my teacher certification at Antioch University’s McGregor School. It is, also, one of the reasons that I like Yellow Springs. People in Yellow Springs aren’t afraid to question or think outside of the box. The people that live in Yellow Springs are open to the world [...]

French twist with powdered sugar on top

August 30, 2006

Being married to a Frenchman is a wonderful and beautiful thing. Well, except for the fact that Frenchmen are in many ways just like all the other men in the world. I think it is best if I don’t get into the whole I man, you woman thing for now though. However, I would like [...]

Homesick, again

August 26, 2006

I am homesick for France. I knew it would happen. I just miss France. Just because I talk about things I don’t like in France doesn’t mean that I stopped loving her just as much as I always did. I talked often on this blog about things that I didn’t agree with in the States…however, [...]

Getting back into the swing of blogging

August 20, 2006

I have been searching for a reason to keep blogging since I am no longer an expat. I have been busy organizing and baby proofing in my mother’s house while at the same time catching up with my family that I haven’t been able to blog much. I have decided that blogging is helpful to [...]

I am joining Bloggers Anonymous…how about you?

July 6, 2006

Bloggers Anonymous is there for you if you need it! I think most bloggers will admit that there have been times when blogging started taking over their lives. I know I have had moments when I would look at my husband and say, “I am so blogging that!” I think my blog is kinda at [...]

Just a little too far

June 23, 2006

Angel thinks this commercial (that is on several times a day) is gross. She is not offended by the commercial or hiding her eyes. She simply doesn’t understand why they would make it because it is gross. It is too sexual. She asked me, “Why would they show it on tv? GOSH!” While I am [...]

Trapped

June 15, 2006

During our walk to the park, I heard frantic chirping. Looking up towards the sound, I saw a man leaning out of his large (as windows are in France) kitchen window with a broom. He was trying in vain to gently knock a complaining bird free from where it’s tiny foot was caught in the [...]

Beauty

June 8, 2006

While walking I am stopped by beauty in the most simple things. I had to take a picture of this white fence with the green leaves falling out and over it. I stood at least one full minute admiring how pretty it was. I see and hear things in nature that most don’t. My husband [...]

Sex differences in cultures

May 29, 2006

The other day, I wrote a post showing a more “private” side of my personality. A side that my husband sees and really no one else. We love to tease, flirt and play with words all the time. It’s great fun. Plus, it keeps the sparks alive. Don’t worry I’m not going to go porno [...]

Night terror

May 25, 2006

I have mentioned that my girls cry at night before. It’s not really crying but screaming. They will wake up and start screaming like someone is murdering them for at least half an hour and sometimes llonger. No amount of kissing, holding or assuring will get them to calm down. I have tried everything. I, [...]

Dreaming of a world with less ignorance and more tolerance

May 25, 2006

I have asked questions all my life. I was never satisfied with a simple answer. I didn’t want just the details. Details were just small pieces of information that may or may not connect. I wanted and want to see the whole picture. Something I learned early was that people talk about other people as [...]

Dreaming of freedom

May 18, 2006

The first time I heard Dr. Martin Luther King‘s voice I was moved. His voice shook my very being. His “I have a dream” speech touched me and shaped my life into that of a dreamer. I felt his strength and belief in a dream that one day the world would be free of hate. [...]
