Blogging all 31 days of my favorite month. Can she do it? We've done it before, so hopefully, we shall do it again. (For past Blogtobers, shimmy over to the search feature and read up, if you like.) What Blogtober means for you, my dear reader: Photo by OVAN on Pexels.com Expect 31 days of …
Geneviève.
That's the name I've given my wig. SN: wigs are like sliced bread when it comes to my eternal love and devotion. I can slap a wig cap over my two-strand twists that I didn't feel like taking out--which is exactly what's going on as we e-speak--and transform my entire look for the day. Pretty …
Meanwhile, in Paris…#1 (Arrivals)
Nous sommes arrivés, mes amis! (We have arrived, my friends.) And if you're impressed by my amazing French language recall, don't be. After eight whopping years of French teachers beating me over the head with masculine, feminine, passé composé and conditionnel, I had to type that sentence into my trusty language app on …
This Square Peg, Can You Hear Me?
The title's reference is from here. If you're a fan, allow me to welcome you into my heart forever. If you're a superfan, allow me to move in with you because we're officially besties. It's been a while, hasn't it, since we chatted? And I'd like to imagine that my readers are in a wooded …
Blogtober (Redux and Late) #31: Regrets or Nah?
Never mind that it's November 1. I meant to post my final entry for Blogtober yesterday, but life. Let's pretend it's yesterday. Thank you for supporting this year's bloggery effort despite the 16-day wifi-related snafu that occurred in the middle. Thank you for everyone that liked a post, followed my little blog this month, left …

Blogtober (Redux) #30: Mind the Gap.
I heard it so many times while riding the Tube that I began to long for it: the soothing, Brit-accented automaton telling me to please mind the gap between the train and the platform. What a kind reminder, huh? To keep me from falling to my death? I'd like to challenge my local public transportation here …
Blogtober (Redux) #29: Packing Lessons
Admittedly, I don't have much panache (or patience) when it comes to packing for trips. Maybe the process reminds me too much of moving, which I once did three times in a year and nearly had to report to a your neighborhood mental health hospital to recuperate from the stress of it all. Maybe it's …
Blogtober (Redux) #28: Castles in the Air
That moment in Germany when we went to see about a castle on a hill. On this day, we visited the picturesque, quaint town of Bernkastel-Kues, of which the ruins of Landshut Castle overlooked. It was all breathtaking: the castle's ruins, the expansive view of the River Moselle from said hill, the fact I didn't …

Blogtober (Redux) #27: If You’re Ever in Iceland…
...try the water. It was refreshing. (And fly Iceland Air, too, if you can. Even their economy seats felt premium.)
Blogtober (Redux): #25 and #26
Two posts, since Sunday was packed and found me super busy. I was tired the day I snapped this photo, taken while walking in London on Oxford Street. I was exhausted from walking all over the city, I was irritated from walking all over the city, and I was incensed from walking all over …
