Hey friends,
This is it!
This is the post that I've been waiting three months to write. And today is the day...the day that internet, telephone, and television service finally returned to chez moi. Can you BELIEVE it?! After all this time, I can finally add to my gratitude journal that I am thankful for having these three things. Of course, the internet is the most important followed by the telephone--like they say, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. But today I again joined the land of the connected, and all I can say is hallelujah and man am I grateful!
I'm also so grateful for the friends who have helped me through this pain-in-the-rear period by either letting me use their internet (or their internet passwords, ahem), letting me use their phones, writing letters for me that are way beyond my ability (legalese, etc.), or just being sympathetic to my (non-stop) whining over all this. Merci mille fois, mes amis!!!
What else am I thankful for today? Picard comes to mind. I've mentioned Picard before--the amazing frozen food store that has incredibly good frozen foods of ALL kinds. Really, I have to thank Monsieur or Madame Picard because they keep me well fed even when I don't have the time or feel like putting in the effort.
Finally, I'm grateful that I can come here and express my gratitude. And I'm grateful to those of you who share your gratitude lists with me. Thanks for hanging in there...I'm back!!! :)
bisous
So glad you have internet! I can't imagine going that long without my addiction!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Lot's to catch up on. Maybe Friday??
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I don't see how you lasted that long, I would have gone crazy! And Mr. (I believe it's a man) Picard often visits my house, too. What are your favorite things from that store? I'm sort of addicted to his pizza :-))

Thanks everyone! Ann, I'm working Friday afternoon, but if I get a chance, I'll touch base and we can make a skype or phone appt!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I first fell for Monsieur Picard's desserts and entrées, but so many of his things are divine. I bought a duck confit with potatoes recently that was as good as you'd get in any restaurant. Haven't tried his pizzas though...will pick one up on my next trip! Oh, in the summer there's a tomato tarte that is delish.
