Friday's Random Thoughts

I'm prepping for our trip to Oktoberfest tomorrow. With the eventual goal of writing about the weekend from the perspective of a non-drinker surrounded by clanging beer steins, I hope to capture the essence of the annual celebration (as well as Instinct Magazine's acceptance for publication). I finally have pinktrashtravels.com up and running again. So, you no longer have to remember the "blogspot." I'd like the entry page to be interactive, but I'm not quite up-to-speed on Flash. That will have to wait a bit longer. Xavier may be moving to the states. So, we'll be down one less friend in Paris. We're happy for him but sad for us. I've been fighting so long with the landlord of the building about replacing the carpet in the hallway that I had almost succumb to dastardly deeds to get my way. I either was going to pull the carpet up my self or pour bleach down the stairs - attributing both to vandalism. But, as My Name is Earl communicates, "Karma is a bitch." With all the business we sent La Compagnie De Provence this week (with Kerry, Lisa and Elizabeth all stocking up on their great smelling soaps), they should give us a kick-back. My flowers in the window boxes have all but stopped growing. Rather, they continue to drop leaves at an unsightly pace. By now, I had hoped for them to be glorious and full of blooms. Instead, they look like sticks. That's what I get for trying to be Parisian and grow Geraniums outside my windows. Since I have to wake-up at 6 for an 8:00 a.m. flight, I'm off to bed. Bon week-end!
