Couch 121: An Intimate Chat.

What does shebagging look like?

When one (ladies, specifically) puts one's bag on the next seat.

Im still watching the downton abbey marathon. We dont acknowledge such things exist. Im moving there in my mind.

i've been crocheting while watching movies on LMN this afternoon. then, I fell asleep for an hour or so, guess i needed a nap! h is feeling better this afternoon after sleeping most of the day. he's pretty sure he ate something bad late last night.

Yeah art!! I'm enjoying the crocheting. Lots I should have done this weekend but I'm tired. Found out family is not coming to see me for thanksgiving. They chose friends over me so I have to make plans. I hate being a holiday orphan.

I understand the 'holiday orphan' thing. When I first moved away from my family to california, even though I wanted to move away - I still would get lonely for them on holidays. In the 18+ years I've lived in both california and arizona, my brother has visited twice (although he has the best excuse, since he lives out of the country much of the time!), one of my sisters has visited once, and my other sister has never visited. I miss my siblings, but I suppose I've gotten used to rarely seeing them over time....

Lime-cucumber gatorade. Why is there such a thing?

Yeah that's my situation too. Friends all over but I'm pretty isolated here.

Uck.

And extraneous characters!

My son's friend bought it, took one sip, and said to my son "You can have it." lol i smelled it and it smells exactly like what you would expect. Yuck!

Couch--I'm leaving for Paris in 3 hours. I'd love to hear any travel tips--things we must see or things that are not so good. We'll be there five days and take one day trip for travel to Versailles. Please share your tips and tricks for Paris. We're complete newbies.

Alexa is up and running. Now I have to be careful not to talk about Alexander the Great.

May I say, Alexa's jokes are terrible.

At least you don't have to pretend to laugh at them.

H and I spent a couple hours in the Paris airport on our way to Italy a bunch of years ago. We didn't actually leave the airport except for in the plane lol so I'm no help there. I hope you have a good trip, justdesserts!

Back to my afghan for another hour or so, then to bed. Catch y'all tomorrow, couch!

I had a family member who was pick pocketed by a child in Paris. Not sure if this still happens but be careful

I want pics art lol. You are motivating me to start the shelter scarves. Pretty yarn too as it has a curl/twist

We just walked around a lot and ate. I liked touring Notre Dame - but I like cathedrals.

When I was in Paris there were clowns on the Champs Elysees who would come up behind women and rub against them, if you know what I mean.

The Louvre is great, but do you have small children with you?

Well I didn't make it an hour. Think I'm gonna go to bed early. But here it is where it's at right now! (I don't remember exactly when I started this - it's been several months ago and then I just stopped working on it for whatever reason. I dunno. But I'm gonna finish it this time!)

I like the bear.

Bear is holding the afghan up for the picture, and wanted to be in it. My son got that for his first birthday, but he's way too cool for a teddy bear as a 17 year old ha, so I am keeping it for him until he wants it back.

Is that a shell pattern? I like it!

Neither of these things is luck. You had the foresight to save while others were spending. I would like to see you give yourself credit for that.

Part of T's job is to soak up the negativity without dismissing it or reflecting it back.
