Three day weekend!

Bonjour mes amis!

Happy Friday! And happy three day weekend to me! The next two weeks constitute the "February break" for French schools--including the university where I teach. Since I teach on Mondays and Fridays, this translates to the following:  A 3-day weekend followed by a 4-day weekend followed by another 3-day weekend. Tell me I don't have mad scheduling skills. Of course, the other side of that coin is that I only get paid when I work, so I am trying to schedule some consulting hours on my days off over the next couple of weeks. Ah, concessions...we all make them.

So onto today's list:

1)  having at least a little time off (and from the most frustrating of my work)
2)  having fun clients to work with Tuesday through Thursday
3)  my male friends who say the kindest, most beautiful things. Yesterday two of them told me I was beautiful, and one said he was thankful for me. How touched am I? Incredibly, overwhelmingly touched.
4)  NCIS on French tv on Friday nights. Perfect for the Friday night in.
5)  a golden opportunity in Egypt. Now I just pray that they get the right leadership in place--and quickly.

C'est à vous--it's your turn!
bisous and bon weekend!
