Weekend Round-up

Our weekends in Paris don't vary much from those back in Chicago. It's just that the Louvre sits in our backyard. Friday night we tried our favorite local Thai restaurant Baan Boran's "emporter" shop that just opened towards the end of summer. It's only a four block walk. Besides that, it gives me a chance to catch a glimpse of the hottie working the supplement store. Saturday we worked out, then shopped with Peter. I watched both him and Chris spend money (my shopping spree was a few weeks back). And because of our endless walking with bags in hand (with no sight of Firecrotch a.k.a. Lindsey Lohan I mght add), we devoted Saturday night to our Rome DVD (which I find extremely intriguing - especially with the "pop-ups" that educate you throughout the film). Sunday, of course, started with a trip to L'Usine. We followed it with a short walk to our Lebanese lunch spot for the closest thing I can find to Chipotle. With Maddie tagging along, we sat at the Pompidou Centre, enjoyed the 65 degree weather and ate our take-away (though, I couldnt' fully relax due to the bit of dried poop on my shoe that kept me from getting situated). We returned home, watched an adorable film, Nanny McPhee, ate spaghetti for dinner, watched last year's Thanksgiving episode of Grey's Anatomy, then closed the evening with Crash - the winner of the 2006 Oscar for Best Film. It wasn't the feel good movie I like to enjoy while eating my last bit of Fat Girl Sunday indulgence, but with Chris not engaged by MTV's Totally Boyband, it won by default. Some might call that boring. We call it normal. And with a constant flow of guests over the next four weeks, it's good for us to enjoy the quiet before the storm.
