In Which I Am Considered an Expert of Sorts
Expat life has its glamorous and mindblowing moments. And then there are days like yesterday when I went to the gym, did two loads of laundry, made a trip to the supermarket and the post office, baked brownies and made a lasagna, changed sheets, and had a parent teacher conference. Not exactly the kind of life that gets you on the best seller list. Fortunately, I will spare you additional boring details about my life and instead send you over http://www.wanderingeducators.com/ which yesterday posted an interview of...... me! If you've been reading along here for awhile, you might find some of this repetitive. ( But like I said, expat life has its dull moments.) Thanks to Jessica Voigts of Wandering Educators for the opportunity.

Utterly spectacular post - enjoyed reading it! Favorite quote: "It was simply a relief to tell my boss, “I’m sorry – my husband got a new job. We have to move to Paris.” " I feel a little sad that you will be leaving this adventure to come back to DC (which seems humdrum to me, then again I am a far-burbs girl). Love the new tidbits highlighted because just last night I bought another set of plane tickets back. Late April in Paris (plus Amsterdam). Incidentally I took the same photo, same spot, of that "blue tree mural" in January... my usual hotel is around the corner. Were you a writer previously?
Thanks, Elizabeth. I have enjoyed writing since high school and did a lot of writing professionally in various positions as a health policy analyst.
Loved reading the interview. Thanks for the link.
Cool interview. Are you and the family anxious to get back to the US?
Starman: Definitely not anxious to get back but since we're going back, I'm bound and determined to make the best of it. It will be a new chapter for all four of us.
Further info about calling with Google. I prepaid $10.00 to pay for European calls. I've called Germany about ten times and France four or five times. I still have $8.58 left. It's clear as a bell. The only minor problem is the delay between what you say and when the person on the other end hears it. It kind of works like a walkie-talkie, you can't both speak at the same time. But then, why would you want to?
