Moi ?
I'm a Jane of all trades, essential oil-loving, Jane Austen addict with a background and love of French language. New to the essential oil craze, I am still avant-garde compared to many of my Chick-Fil-A eating, get your praise on, soccer mom friends. Sold out to my Savior, my faith helps keep me sane, grounded, and is the reason I am still walking this earth with my hubs, boys, M&D, friends, and family.
Born and bred a New Englander from naissance through universite, I have been living in the Mid-Atlantic for more of my life.
Married to my college sweetheart,Mark, we are crazy about our two boys with wonderful names that work in French, German, & English due to our proclivities to all things Brit, Francais und Deutsch. My chocolate lab rules more than just part of my heart.
I am a die-hard Jane Austen fan. I was late to fall for Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth and Miss Austen and I would have been the best of friends. I just know it. Yes, I get frustrated at Pride & Prejudice "remakes" that shorten, ridicule, or lamely recreate what surely would have killed our dear authoress if she hadn't already died a painful death. Yet I am strangely amused by how much her themes resonate with most women who dream of iphone-less, Facebook-free, blog-devoid yesteryear.
I could tell you about why French has been such une grande partie of my life since my early years... but I'll wait on that. Suffice to say is I hold a Masters degree PLUS (aka, if I could skip the oral exams on all the major periods in French literary history and jump to the dissertation, I'd be done in a heartbeat, but I can't deal with Baudelaire or Andre Gide so tant pis for me!)
And my oils... oh, my oils... Where do I even begin. Well, I guess at the beginning. But that's gonna have to wait for now. It's my bedtime and I have a headache... so I'm grabbing my Peppermint and will catch you all on the flip side. Bonne nuit et faites de bons reves ! (Man, this is hard to write without all those accents!)
