I have a pretty huge announcement to make. It's a life changing one so I suggest you take a seat. Welcoming a new presence into my life, doing something I never thought I would give into because it fell in the category of something that "you just do", especially being someone in her 30s...
Okay, enough with the build up. So dramatic...
As of June 4th, 2013, I'm proud to announce that me, Madame Coquine (okay, the Madame makes me sound like I run a brothel in Pigalle. Nice.) has received her very first, and honestly hopefully last :::drum roll please::: smart phone! I know, I know, what's the big deal, hasn't everyone had one since like 2009? The answer to that is no.
For me, this really is big news. After having a variety of Nokia phones since 2003 without internet functionality, a camera, a touch pad, and fun things like a Anti-Drunk Dial App (where was this app during most of my 20s??), I feel overwhelmed with the amount of information I have at my finger tips at. all. times.
Does this mean I get to take photos of my food now? Or invade the Eiffel Tower's privacy with hourly photos of her, supported by braggy hashtags? Or even better, take Instagram selfies in the bathroom mirror demonstrating my juiciest Janice Dickinson face? Perhaps not (the duck lip photos do sound tempting though...), but it does mean that I won't get lost anymore, that I will respond to emails and texts quicker than before, be on time, and will now be able to capture a quick and pretty "vintage" photo without my eight pound camera weighing down on my neck. It really is a new era. Somehow this makes me feel like more of an adult than being married, which I have to tell you guys, still sounds so weird to me. Well Aurélien did a chest shimmy over his cheese plate last night when I referred to him as my husband, so apparently I'm not the only one who is getting a kick out of this.
Now that I have Paris' most-stolen device in my pocket, some changes will need to be made. Long gone are the days of whipping out my phone on the metro line 2 to announce that I'm on my way home. I don't take well to being robbed, so unlike the last time, I will work harder in avoiding it.
The wedding dust has finally settled, I am adjusted back into normal life; I have been reconnecting with friends and family, am back at work, and am enjoying gorgeous weather that we so rightfully deserve.
If you feel inclined to catch a few glimpses of life off the blog, I invite you to follow me on Instagram!
