Well, I'm spending the day doing the final stages (oh, God, I sure hope so) of getting my new-and-improved "married lady" Carte de Séjour, including the medical exam (ick), having my French skills assessed, and assorted other things they'll want to talk to me about so that I'm integrating well into the culture. It's supposed to take a half-day this time, and at the end of it I am supposed to walk out with the ACTUAL CdS, at last! (My temporary one is good until end of January just in case... because this is France and you ALWAYS have to be prepared for "just in case".)
In the meantime, I'm adding a new permanent page to my blog, and it's called the "You'd have to be crazy (I mean BOLD) to read this blog" list. It's all the cool folks who have read my blog more than once, and then decided they liked it well enough to add a link to it in their "Favorite Blog" list on their own blogs. Which I think is really awesome and deserves some recognition.
You can find the entire list here, and if you're already linking to me but not on the list, I provide an email link on the list so you can let me know... and I'd be happy to add you to the list. When I get to 100 I'll have to come up with a special prize or something... hmmm. Will have to think more about THAT.
Thanks to all of you faithful, regular Bold Soul readers, whether you have a blog or not. You folks totally rock and make my day. I will think of you fondly today when they're making me walk around during the medical exam with no bra and holding a cup of pee. About that point in my day, I'll NEED something good to think about.
