I spent 2 DELIGHTFUL nights research AirBnbs in Paris and then realized I want a church view.

So I used Google Maps to find all the churches in the region that I wanted, and then used AirBnb “zoom in and find here” search to look at places that are as close as possible to churches.

50-60 churches later, here we are!

I still can’t believe I just decided to book this but… Parov Stelar! In Paris! In March! (and then 4 more days of leisure AND a layover in Zurich.)

This will be FANTASTIC.

Shopping

Shopping in New York was delightful.

Uniqlo heat tech stuff which is MAGICAL OMFG

fantastic topshop boots. And a hat!



Sweater too!

 A crazy sale at Eileen fisher which is a fancy and delightfully great store I haven’t owned anything from – a sweater and a top – and a ton of conversations and a few contacts in restessr context.

Hot skirt from a boutique.

I think I’m gonna stop buying stuff but it was amazing to be meeting people and having wine and making useful connections.
Mmmmmm life I missed you being awesome. This is delightful.

new york is my spirit animal

the trip to new york was magical and recharging and i came back at normal levels of happy and excited about life.

i even went out and got totally drunk (Happy drunk!) with tom last night, which we haven’t done in ages. kind of not great for my health, i’m certain – and wow, i guess at 31 i am actually thinking of my health for the first time ever which is super weird…. but yes anyway.

landed late monday night, tuesday FLEW, wednesday FLEW (crazy busy/stressful at work – but SO MUCH easier to handle when i feel happy and normal!).

woot woot life is WONDERFUL. <3 :)

I went sorta vegetarian for November. Fish and seafood excepted. Also chicken stock because it may make an appearance (hasn’t yet! But I can’t guarantee such craziness as not to have stock!)
