Piece of (Cup)cake!

My socks are drying over the heater and the humidity is fogging up my windows and obstructing my view. But it smells like clean laundry in my room now and I won't have to worry about my eyes getting too dry in these new contacts with all this moisture in the air.

I can see! I've always had a certain aversion to doctors in general, eye doctors in particular. But it wasn't so bad: she was nice to me after the obligatory "why haven't you ever gotten glasses??" remark, and I can actually get them in and out of my eyes now. Also, trees have leaves and individual twigs on the branches! The architecture in Paris is 10 times better than when everything above the 2nd story was all blurry. I can see all the way to La Defense out my bedroom window now - not to mention the Sacre Coeur in the other direction. And there are more than 6 stars in the sky in Seattle, lots more!

Tonight I will attempt to make Red Velvet Cupcakes...we'll see how that works out. It's actually an American cupcake mix out of a box so it should be (key words) very simple, even if it is in France. It's for Xavier's birthday so they better turn out okay. Tomorrow Marjerie and I will eat the leftovers over coffee and talk about going to the ballet or to Bruges or London one weekend.

It is so cold here right now! Below freezing every day makes me miss 50 degree winters in Seattle. And it's just about time for me to put on my 6 layers and brave the cold to go pick up Liam at his school near the Eiffel Tower. I take the metro and get there in just about 10 min - piece of (cup)cake!
