France 2012 - Introduction

As both of you already know, I have absented myself from Anouchka Talks for a couple of weeks.  Habibi and I have been abroad (en France!) since the end of October and elected to go off the proverbial grid...

However, I have been diligently journaling throughout our travels and, once we get all our photos organized, I will include my journal entries (both written and photographic) here in a series called France 2012.

With that, I invite you to retroactively join Habibi and me as we journey -by car- through France.  Where better to learn about Gothic architecture, WWII battle history, or that pain au chocolat is a "sometimes food"?  Together, we will experience everything from café to shoes to watching Les Simpsons in your hotel room to living a life of exercise where the only cardio is walking stairs and the only resistance training is hovering over seatless public toilets.

So pour yourself un petit café, grab a croissant and hunker down for a few pages of mediocre reading.

Bonne lecture!

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
