Suicide in Texas?


Don’t you read the headlines when waiting for a cashier in a supermarket ? I always do ...but for some reason, this one attracted my Blackberry. Sorry Mr. Bush, whatever you want to do with your life is your problem because what you have done with ours, I will not even begin to talk about.

Welcome to my "Souk" Bazar OR how to enjoy the Yard, Garage or Moving Sale?





My yard sale has been one of the funniest experiences I have had in the USA. We have advertised it with NO SIGNS on the street so we have had only a selection of people who found our ad on a famous computer web site. So I have put some fun signs around, candies for the visitors, a working tv in the background (I want to sell it so I might as well prove that it is working) a disco light, a chair (so whoever needs to try shoes can sit eh this is a 5-star Yard sale, I warned you) plastic bags (with this rain, paper will not work;-)to take your purchases (Customer satisfaction is VERY IMPORTANT HERE)and whenever someone buys something, they get something free!! So it is pouring rain since yesterday (Saturday) this is my 2nd day and we made close to 300 dollars!!! VIVE LE "CLASSY" YARD SALE!

Canada, Dominican Republic, Cote d'Ivoire, Australia; WHO ARE YOU????


I got such a good feeling knowing that people from Haiti (Bonjour who??), Singapore (hello??) France (bien sur!)_Australia (Perth: Damien??) Canada (who??), Mexico (Ezio?) India (WHO IS READING THIS INDIA??) Italy, England, Israel (shalom Haverim), Monaco (Bonjour Marie Ange!) Italia (ciao), Dominican Republic (hola quien es?)and of course the United States are reading my blog! So my goal is to reach South America, Asia (China anyone?)and more especially Japan so I can use "cockroach" "game arcade" and "I have a headache"(see below "Learning Japanese")for my Japanese readers!

It is 8 am. Raining in SF. Gym anyone?

Ava and I spotted 3 people doing abnominals and more in a small garden area in SF. That same morning while we were looking it was raining. So Madame and Mademoiselle, BRAVO. Fitness before anything!

Aloha au iā 'oe..I love you in Hawaian.

If I had to give a medal to someone in terms of Valentine's spirit, this young student deserves it! She ordered 6 huge cookies and 1 chocolate cake saying "Aloha au iā 'oe "for all her friends -girls!- No boyfriend in sight, she said but so what??? I told you love is in the air but friendship is there too.

Valentine's at Bon Appetit...Love is in the air...

We made cakes, cookies and other fun things for the students. Some personalized theirs and I have to say 2 messages were fun. The first one is the longest message anyone wanted on a cake, (actually our baker could NOT write it all so I typed it, plastified it, shaped it into a heart and voila! I did have to ask the student to sign a release form that the heart was not edible: who knows ; -) Now ready for the message? "If the sky could sing of beauty, it would whisper your name, you give me life and bring me home."

What do you do with your freezer? Snakes anyone?



So I posted a few ads "for sale" on Craigslist and I am selling my freezer. Here is the answer from a 17-year old man who obviously needs the freezer. "Hi there,
I was wondering if I could get some dimensions of the freezer. I am 17 and breed snakes as a hobby. As it turns out, fridges/freezers make great incubators when a heat element is added. However, I don't want something huge so I need some approximate dimensions. Thanks for your time. Josh" I am not joking. And by the way, if you need a freezer, mine is for sale and it is upright, full size and might hold bigger animals than snakes : -)
