Joie de Vivre!: January 2010
http://katiemcardle-myvivreinfrance.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
I've found the joie! January 24, 2010. I'm as happy now as I am after LSU wins a football game.I don't get much happier than that. :). Maybe I look more crazy than happy in this picture, but when it comes to LSU football, crazy and happy are one and the same. I had America from West Side Story stuck in my head the last few days I was in France. "La la la la la America! La la la la la America! Ahhh so good. La la la la la AMERICA! It is so good to be home.

I've found the joie! July 29, 2010. Get Down Witcha Bad Self! It's already tomorrow in Afghanistan, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! What a boss. Smoke him, Dad. I kept putting off writing the First Blog Back (which shall henceforth be called FBB), but your birthday has finally motivated me to sit my tiny hiny (hiny? Down and do it. And today is actually a great day for it because, besides it being my Dad's birthday (sort of), Matthew is finally back from Iraq and home with Meg and Tyla-hyla-hyla Luuuuuuce! So th...

Joie de Vivre!: One Year Ago...
http://katiemcardle-myvivreinfrance.blogspot.com/2010/10/one-year-ago.html
I've found the joie! October 25, 2010. One year ago today I wrote my first blog. A year ago tomorrow I started my journey to France. I absolutely cannot believe it's been a YEAR! I really don't know.I don't know how to be at peace with that yet. There are so many ways I'd like to end this paragraph, but not a single one is nice, so I'll just move on. Next week the whoooole family (PLUS Leslie's mom, dad and two of her aunts) is heading down to Panama City Beach for Sean's first Ironman! The weather has b...

I've found the joie! October 31, 2009. Happy Halloween, errbody! Not a new food, but it was like a whole, real-live/dead chicken that Sylvie baked in the oven. I pulled my own meat off the bone (yuuuck! And ate the chicken (I spiced this up with Slap Ya Mama, too). The exciting thing that happened today is that I drove the car around town! If it's not raining tomorrow, Sylvie said we may take a boat around Nantes! Cool dude. I'll take pictures if we do. :). Hope everyone had a fun, American-style Hallowe...

http://katiemcardle-myvivreinfrance.blogspot.com/2010/08/19-ways-to-charm-me.html
I've found the joie! August 18, 2010. 19 Ways to Charm ME. Megan gave me an article from Southern Living. Called "15 Ways to Charm Her" that is pretty excellent. Here's the list of 15 things that the author, Amy Bickers, and I agree every beau should know when courting a Southern belle: (this is straight from the article in the July issue of Southern Living. With my added tidbits at the end.). 1 Stand up for a lady. Actually, this doesn't just involve chairs. 4 Hold doors open. Isn't this a given? You'd ...

http://katiemcardle-myvivreinfrance.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
I've found the joie! December 31, 2009. Toi, Moi et Paris. I've already told some of you I actually let wild, dirty birds land on my bare hands outside of Notre Dame. WELL HERE IS THE PROOF HOMMIES! Can you freaking believe me right now? I would put HA! After that last statement, but I think you all know it would be such an understatement that I won't even bother. They can't really turn me away at the door because I look poor can they? What if someone doesn't want to listen to Spanish music? Then I turne...
