It’s not that I don’t want to move on, I do. I really do. I want to live in the present and be where I am and all that other stuff that happens when it’s happening, yada yada amen. But I can’t.
I can’t stop wearing red lipstick and I can’t stop putting french mustard on my eggs. I stand in the shower while James stands outside of it, shaving for work or brushing his teeth and I say, “Remember when we were in Paris?” and he doesn’t answer, which is fine, I don’t need him to, I remember Paris.
We hopped off the boat in Boston on Sunday and we had somewhere to be. Should we take a cab or walk? It’s kind of a far walk, like 30 minutes and I said, it’s just like Paris, we can walk. So we walked. It wasn’t really like Paris at all so we took a cab back to the boat when we were done being where we needed to be.
Summer’s leaving, I’m not sad about it, I love the fall. I love the way a sweater hangs in the fall and I love the absence of humidity and I love the way a book reads when it’s cold out. It reads much better, in case you were wondering. I’m hoping Fall will pull me back to the present. New England is perfect in the fall.
Can we have a Halloween party? I ask a million times. He doesn’t think it will work, we don’t live close to anyone. If only we lived in Paris, I wouldn’t need a Halloween party, I think. It isn’t true, I’m sure I’d need one. I’d make everyone fly there and I’d hand them all pumpkin flavored beers with cinnamon rims. Should I just buy pumpkins early and put them on the steps? Or maybe I’ll keep buying candles in jars that remind me of Paris because they say BOULANGERIE and smell like figs. I still want a Halloween party.
We got our first Paris painting framed and I hung it on the nails that were already there, and it hangs way too high and he said he can fix it but I said who cares? It’s PARIS, it can go wherever it wants. And I’m sure, pretty soon, I’ll stop making sense and people will stop calling me because I’ll be one of those people who always says, “OH THAT REMINDS ME OF THIS ONE TIME, IN PARIS…………………….”

You are adorable! That is all
Haha, aw that’s my favorite compliment.
I love this post! I have beeen raving all about fall things lately; how reading is SO much better in the fall, the scents of candles are so amazing you can almost taste them, so much easier to sleeep without AC in the fall, and of course the fall wardrobe. Would LOVE to see a post on your favorite fall outfits?? Need new ideas for my closet! XO
That sounds like a good idea. I’m craving everything mustard colored and high heeled oxfords for starters.
I agree with Jacki in regards to a post about your favorite fall fashions – yes, please! However, I disagree with James, I would come to your Halloween party! Okay so it will be me you and James- kind of lame, I know but I would do it.
We could bob for apples
I already told you I’d come for Halloween. And you can bring up Paris as much as you want – I’ll never stop calling you!
What costume are you going to wear!?
Princess Jasmine
I love this post. I love fall too, it’s perfect.
PERFECT when it stops raining .. like today.
This might be weird, because I’ve never commented before, but I’m a student who lives in Boston and would totally go to a party that you and James threw.
Oh btw I read your blog because, paleo, and you’re hilarious.
It’s only weird if you don’t wear a costume.
You’re adorkable. I love pumpkin stuff too. I just bought way too much pumpkin handsoap, bodywash, bodybutter & candles from Bath&BodyWorks today. My bag was so heavy I ALMOST had to leave the mall. I managed to shop for another hour, though. Found an awesome maxi dress on clearance for $40, so it was worth the workout. I’m going to wear it to a blues festival in a few weeks. You’ll always have Paris.
Can I get “We’ll always have Paris” tattooed on me?
Ummmm…no. It’s more romantic if you just keep saying it out loud to anyone who will listen!
True and my mom wouldn’t be as upset about it.
