Anouchka Talks

Once again, we are experiencing a lull at Anouchka Talks  for a variety of reasons:  lack of ideas, busy schedule, being too cool for school, etc. I'm just stopping by to let you know that the lull will continue.  Chin up, chickadees!  I am quite certain that we will have more to talk about next month, toi et moi, when Anouchka and Habibi return from France!** **Congratulations!  You do not need glasses because you read that right!  Anouchka and Habibi are going to France in one week.  Despite my overwhelming excitement about this long anticipated trip, I am sad to say that I will be missing le  Halloween and my opportunity to dress up as an evil wizard.  Howevs, the occasions are abundant this time of year, and I'm sure I'll get to showcase my getup yet - like on Thanksgiving or something...

It is October 9 today, so what do you suppose I am doing?  Other than writing this post, of course... I am snuggled up next to my fireplace (DVD) and listening to Christmas music, you idiot!!!  I can't believe you wouldn't guess that.  It is beginning to make me wonder if we are really friends, what with me doing all the talking and stuff. For real though, the weather around here has been a little strange this year.  Last week, over the course of three days we saw daytime temperatures in the 80s hover around freezing at night.  I'm no meteorologist, but it was a little extreme for my liking.  At this time of year, I tend to prefer crisp mornings and chilly evenings, separated by afternoons that are conducive to scarf-wearing, but do not require a coat.  Anyone else agree? Anyway, I cannot blame the weather for the title of this post.  Frankly, if you are going to keep reading, I had better get to the point, hadn't I?  Well, my impatien...
