The past few days I have been homesick. Not homesick for MI, but homesick for Paris. I really feel like it is my hometown and right about now all I want is to go home. Every time I see a plane loop over the lake and my apartment to land at O'Hare I feel a pang of jealously. I just think about all those people coming and going and wish I could too.
So, in my desperation I made Nutella and banana crepes from my Julia Child cooking book that Moi gave me for Christmas. They were very yummy and only made me miss Paris more.
Then of course there has been the craziness of Chicago. My co-workers are fighting amongst themselves and a couple of very creepy guys hoovered around me at the park today forcing me to leave early.OH, and let's not forget the Chicago birds that seem to hate me. They are pooping on me all the time. I have been cleaning my work suits left and right...
Ok, sorry for the complaining. In good news my apartment is almost completely clean and ready for my mom's visit this weekend!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Nutella and banana crepes. It's one of my biggest regrets that I never ate one of those crepes IN France.
I wish I was traveling all the time. I promise I wouldn't even complain about the packing and unpacking.
Are you looking for another job? There has to be a cute little bakery who needs someone to make Nutella/banana crepes! Or, maybe you could sell helmets at the nearby bicycle shop! Or, you could be a receptionist at a local advertising agency and fall madly in love with the young, handsome, new executive who comes from old money, but is determined to make it on his own and the two of you have a whirlwind romance and get married and then you move to Paris and you open a restaurant in honor of Julia Child and I come and eat there constantly.
;)
I know you can find something that you enjoy doing!
