Directeur de Maison

When Kris and I were talking the other night about our finances, we once again confirmed we're saving more money now than when we lived in Chicago. With a combination of our investments and our spending habits here in Paris, we're able to put away a nice "chunk of change." Which, I admit, is odd considering I don't work - in the traditional sense anyway. I'm no longer a VP of Marketing but rather a House Manager, or Directeur de Maison. Which, after reviewing our finances, is actually a paying job. "We're paying me not to work," I said. "And, in some cases, we're paying me to be bored!" Funny how life works.
