French word of the day: dénégation

Def: denial

The state I've apparently been in, only now getting around to packing two years' worth of shoes, clothes and household stuff for the movers who come at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

  1. Tomorrow morning. It is almost here. I totally understand the packing thing. Love the word. It is now one of mine... a good one for me, denial is a state I find myself in .. often.

    Bon Voyage honey ! See you in NYC in no time!!!

  3. Hope your packing went well!:)

    Been in The Hague for 8 months and I'm proud to say I've hardly bought anything (thank God!)... but I still dread the day I will have to pack;)

    The movers came this morning and removed 12 boxes... a good chunk of my life. I hope it surfaces in NYC before too long (oui, Helen, moving back to NYC)!

    Merci for the well wishes. xo

  8. Oh, so sad. This brings me right back to my final moments in Paris. Only I had months of shoes and clothes to pack, instead of years. Same feeling though. Je t'aime Paris.
