spring comes early in bretagne.

i know, i know, i know... you're all thinking, where the hell are the exciting stories & vibrant photos from my last little jaunt to morocco? or better yet, 'you've been home a week, and you're telling me you truly haven't had time to tune us all in?!'... well, i did in fact, get back from marrakech & paris & all that jazz almost a week ago, and while i can't say that i've been ridiculously busy, i haven't really felt the urge to write so much... sooo... you're going to just have to wait.

on another note, the skies are blue, the air is fresh, the sun is shining brightly. i can feel my arteries clogging from the best pain au chocolat on the planet... i don't care if your pere owns a boulangerie, or if your grandma makes equally good chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. these are the best, hands-down. any other pain au chocolat tastes like complete crap now. it's loaded with so much butter that it leaks through the wax paper baggie they put it in, for crying out loud... and even though i had to send a student out of class today for rude, disruptive behavior, eating that fresh-this-morning, warm, buttery, flaky, golden, chocolate-filled pastry makes everything okay again. the birds are chirping.

so even though i have mounds of laundry to do, my chore of cleaning the kitchen still not checked off the list, grocery shopping because my cupboards look like old mother hubbard's, a blog that needs some serious updating, and a room that looks like a nuclear fall-out zone, i'm going to make an effort to get out & enjoy the sunshine. the rest can wait. on doit profier de la vie!
