Sorry!

Dear long lost friends,

I write to apologize for how long it's been.  The time since we've returned from our whirlwind visit of Europe has been completely crazy, but that's no excuse for letting our friendship drift.  Since we returned, we have done three loads of laundry, I have taught quite a few classes, we have seen friends who got back a week late from their various vacations due to that volcano, and spent some more time in Yvetot.  Additionally, the play that I worked on with a local theatre group, Still Kiddin', had tech week and performances throughout the last week, so the minute I returned from class, we would pack our dinners and leave for rehearsal (because, see, I roped that wonderful boyfriend of mine into helping out with the show -- he is a rockstar).  And finally, last night, we began the packing process.  Donnie and I are both hoping to leave a lot of things behind, mostly in the socks-that-have-holes-in-them category.  So we made piles throughout our apartment and now it looks like a natural disaster happened inside our place.  Oops.

I hope this letter finds you well.  I don't expect life to calm down at all because we are leaving France in 9 days, and hoping to leave our apartment a week from today.  (!!!!!)  We are looking forward to returning home, to eat Thai food and buy fake meat from the 24 hour grocery stores and to pet our pets and to eat Mexican food again and see our families too, I guess.  ;)

Cordialement,
Kinzie
