Happy Fourth!

I’m working today, but I plan to join up with Kyle and friends as soon as I’m outta the hospital. I may shower first. But it depends on how many patients poop on me today…too graphic? My bad. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. Can you believe one year ago today I was drinking away my singledom at my bachelorette party in Las Vegas?!?! It was definitely one of the best weekends of my life. At least I think it was. My memory isn’t… Read more >

day trois, part deux

This post turned out to be mostly anecdotes, and really only covered a few hours of the day (oops!). I have writing ADHD. Enjoy! Based on the title (and previous Paris posts), I’m sure you’ve gotten the sense of how awful my French is. And so the fun continued…with a post-lunch tour through Notre Dame. What I’m pointing to above is how Eglise minus the “g” is Elise…I realize I’m a dork for being thrilled over this, but I still get excited when I see my name on things. I guess that’s because I… Read more >
