There's horse meat in my fridge...

So I don't really have anything interesting to report in the last couple of weeks because I've kind of been working non-stop. I had Leo all weekend because Alice and Dan went to visit a friend up at her 10-bedroom chalet in the Alps...life is rough for them, right? Leo was well-behaved and adorable, but I'm still exhausted today--my 12th straight day of work with a small child. I'm really looking forward to this weekend--2 whole days off!! That's before I kick into another 14 days straight of work because Alice and Dan are going to Berlin for Valentine's weekend. The fun never stops.

So, since I've nothing terribly interesting to report, here are a couple of things I've thought of lately:

--There are slices of horse meat in a package in the fridge. It's read, and kind of jelly-looking. I'm slightly disturbed, even though in truth I don't have a problem with the concept of eating horse meat--I can't come up with any reasons that it's different than eating beef, chicken, etc. Still, I don't intend to try it.

--Leo giggles when he sneezes. It's really cute.

--I've adjusted to the cold--I was super excited that it hit 45 degrees yesterday.

--I've only been peed on once this week. Score!

--Leo yells "Goal!!" anytime he sees a ball. It's one of the 3 words he can say. I love it.

--I'm thinking of taking a big trip through Eastern Europe in April when I have some time off--Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia...we'll see what I can figure out. I think it would be tons of fun, now that I've seen most of the highlights in Western Europe. 

--French is going well--I practice a bit with our housekeeper, so at least I'm able to use it occasionally. 

That's all I can really think of for the moment. Like I said, nothing terribly interesting. I'm hoping to go skiing this Sunday, so pray for me not to break anything :)

Bye!
