Friend Makin' Monday: Why I'm Fabulous

Alrighty! It's Monday, so time for Kenz @ All The Weigh's Friend Makin' Monday!

If you've taken part in FMM then you know the rules. If you're new, please take a moment to answer this week's question on your own blog then add your link in the comments section here and at Kenz's blog so we can all see your FMM questions and answers.

If you, my lovely readers, want to participate, post links to your answers at Kenz's blog too so everyone has to opportunity to be seen. The idea is to connect with other awesome bloggers so take a moment to post your own FMM post and comment on a couple of other posts. Now it's time for this week's topic!

What makes you awesome? List at least five qualities/hobbies/habits make you cool and unique?

Let's see... it's always hard to think of great things to say about yourself without feeling like you're "tooting your own horn" as it were. That said, here goes!

1. I could strike up a conversation with a rock. Seriously, just ask my family.
2. I dress pretty well. My friends always say that I have a very specific style. It can be summed up with cool jewelry and scarves.
3. I keep in touch. Yes, I'm that friend who sends emails and calls periodically to check up and catch up. It's made living in France a lot easier for my friendships, THAT's for sure!
4. I'm nerdy. I use big words. I like being smart (if you don't count math and science).
5. I like to host. I tend to be the "mom" of the group and love having people over and cooking. It's fun and I like taking care of the people I love.

What are your five?

FMM: Today I....

Today I felt... sad that Jon was leaving and flying back to the States, but happy about our amazing vacation spent together here in France

Today I saw... two of my fabulous girlfriends here in Avignon who helped me be in a cheerful mood ce soir!

Today I ate... a pain-au-chocolat with Jon at the airport

Today I kissed... my boyfriend goodbye for the next 2 months. Several times.

Today I bought... a postcard of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Gare de Lyon.

Today I heard... a little French boy scream the whole train ride from Paris to Avignon.

Today I lost... nothing that I'm aware of...

Today I decided... to make the most of my remaining 8 weeks here and to get back on track after splurging food-wise on vacation!

Today I need... to sleep. I'm exhausted after such an amazing vacation and weekend in Paris!

Today I wish...I could have sent someone back to the States in Jon's place! Having him with me in France was too much fun!

Now it's your turn to share your answers! Don't forget to come back and leave a link in the comments! And have a happy Monday!

Belated (and First) Friend-Makin' Monday!

Decided I should hop on board with this! Sounds fun!

FMM: Everyday Things

1) What is your favorite part of an average day? 5pm: Home from work with the evening ahead of me!

2) Is there one food that you eat every single day? A banana. Without it, I am lost.

3) Are you an early bird, or do you prefer to sleep in late? Honestly, for a long time I was neither. Now, I'm working on my "intuitive sleeping" and am trying my darnedest to become an early bird and catch that worm etc etc.

4) Share one thing that you're looking forward to doing this week. My boyfriend Jon gets here on Wednesday to spend 12 days with me in France!!! Not only will this be our first 'real' vacation together, but it's the first time I've seen him since Christmas!!!

5) What's for dinner this evening? Pre-cooked (thanks to last night's kitchen session) risotto with morbier cheese, zucchini, asparagus, mushroom, red pepper, leek, and garlic!! Om nom nom!

If you decide(d) to participate, post a link in the comments so I can make some new friends!! Next time, I'll try to make it on Monday in MY time zone!
