family visits

Since it was a public holiday last thursday
the husband took friday off for a long weekend
so on wednesday night,
we went versailles to have dinner with the parents in law
the most exciting part was...
dinner was stew rabbit!
my first taste of rabbit...
it tasted like a finer type of chicken..
thank goodness i do not need to witness the rabbit corpse
sometimes i find it so disgusting to see the whole rabbit (skinless) at the butcher

husband finds it strange that i never tasted rabbits
but i emphasiwed that is like a dog
we see them more than pets than food
the constant joke about how 1 day he will buy me a rabbit to play
and kill it for dinner
hmm... not funny

then we spent tv and reading time at versailles
and had an early night
because im really sleepy
the start of my sleepiness...

the next day 
we started early with breakfast to celebrate the france's mother's day
which is the last sunday of may
and left for chambord to visit the parental grandparents
it is the first time, we required 2 cars for the 1.5hours roadtrip
and i felt asleep again on the way there

oh, since i posted the photo of cookies on facebook
my sister-in-law commented that she will like to try the cookies
so the day before
i spent 4 hours to bake for the family, paternal uncle, aunt and grandparents
it took so long because of the small microwave/oven 
but im so glad to have the electric mixer from my sister
that definitely speed up the baking process
so, being a good in-law.. haha
i gave everyone a packet of home made cookies!

we had lunch at chambord
my french is still lousy
but i guess its a slight improvement to guess what was spoken
and provide simple responses
suddenly, i got an awakening that i really married a french!
haha..husband hates it whenever i said things like this..
but sometimes; i do forget i married a french or am married,
just feel like we are in a relationship..
but i guess that means i will not take things for granted
and will continue to work hard for the relationship??
hehe..

after the 2 hours lunch, we were back to the roadtrip home
again, i slept through the ride
my in-laws must think i am a pig for sleeping so much..
thereafter, we took the train back to paris
and i was tired again!

okay, the next day my period came and i was suffering with bad cramps for 2 days
that explains my constant sleepiness for the whole trip
we were supposed to go out for the long weekend
but i was constantly in pain and slept almost the weekend away
it is times like these,
i truly appreciate a husband who can cook
and love to cook
that i need not do anything for the weekend
Thank you my dearest husband!

so, that rounds up the last holiday and we need to wait for july...
