Carte de sejour

And now... at last... I am a card-carrying official "Temporary Worker" in France. That means all the papers I've been filling out can be completed. I'll have medical insurance! So I don't need to be worried sick about getting sick. This card is plastic, front and back with my photo, signature, and vital information. It fits neatly inside my passport.

Other than that, things have been fairly slow. Sarah came and visited this weekend. We spent quite a bit of time on expeditions. Also, watching "The Beverly Hillibillies" and belly laughing. All four of us played Pictionary by the fire on Friday night with words we secretly wrote down on pieces of paper. Texas vs. Her Majesty's Empire. Quite a bit of cultural strategy went into the game. Although my picture of Siren looked like a consession stand and Megan threw a few nasty punches, including Cricket Bat and Elvis Presley, Texas prevailed. Now we have even more art for our walls. Our mural of kid art grows every week.

Also on a bright note:
Today the Electric company and I had a chat about a problem with our bill. Amazingly, it all worked out! Not bad customer service! No hassle at all! This event overturns my previous phobia (induced by France Telecom) of speaking on the phone with French companies. They are slowly creeping off the black list.

On a hungry note:
Saw a picture of soft tacos online. Can't wait to be home in 30 days!
