Okay, so I’ve been kinda tagged by Christine,.. that’ll be an occasion to reveal a bit more about me.

10 years ago: Man, I was slowly recovering from the huuumongous surprise of Laurent (my partner) finally falling for me after running after him for over 2 years in vain. Hmm, at the time I was still like 20 pounds heavier, short hair, leftover acnea, and had the best time hanging out with my gang (all guys, laurent being one of them) doing crazy stuff like canyonning and 13 m jumps into ponds, snowboarding like hell, food battles … ten years later we’re still all very close.
5 years ago: Another turning point. We were homeless, having left our awesome little place in a ski resort above Grenoble, got rid of most of our stuff and furniture, and were only waiting for a fucking russian visa to leave for our Sidetour trip on a russian sidecar (I really need to do some major updating on that english version btw). At the time we said we’d leave for a year but we knew it would be longer, eventually took us 3 years…
Enf of july, hoo… we were like in the starting blocks! (we finaly left on august 4th), ready for the big leap into the unknown, go to Russia to get our sidecar at the factory … It was fun. Scary, but fun.
1 year ago: well, we were back for about 9 months, new town, new job for laurent, and Prune was only a few weeks old. Really cozy feeling to have a baby nested in your arms.
Yesterday: I had to reorganise everything in our little appartment after coming home from our mini-vacation, plus I finished typing the instructions for the shrug and sent my first pattern to be proofread/tested. So I was kind of high, bit all my nails that had miraculously been long for several weeks, and of course had insomnia.
Today: I really need to getup from the computer and have a shower before it’s the end of Prune’s nap. Then need to do some groceries, prepare some lunch somehow, and get some knitting / pattern typing done. Oh, and I need to whip up 2 birthday presents for 5 year old twins before saturday. Must think hard.
Tomorrow: Hum, pretty much the same as today. Nothing exciting.
5 snacks I enjoy: those little cheap chippies (they’re probably full of really bad for you stuff, but we just can’t stop eating them), anchovy-stuffed olives (I’d die for them), … what else, anything real salty like “saucisson” (kind of like salami, but way better) or “st Agur” blue cheese, and raw carrots/celery/brocoli dipped in good sauce…
5 bands/singers that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs: Well I hardly listen to music at all these days except for online radios sometimes, so I’ll say bruce Springsteen, french stuff like jacques Brel, laurent Voulzy, Olivia Ruiz, … and say Ali Farka Tour

    YEY! But wait, this totally throws my perception of french women! When I think about it I’m like “Oh yeah, french linferie” but for some reason, I thought y’all were SANS BRASSIERE’S for the most part!
    Hmmmm!
    I’m glad you did that! I was meaning to ask you about Laurent! (You always refer to your “partner” teehee!)
