Drunk Baking

Big week this week. Monday Alstom University was honored at the HR Initiative of the Year awards for AUtube. A handy little peer generated, video sharing platform (I really hope the PIC doesn't read this as she will be incredibly upset with my misuse of technological words) that was launched in the office last September.  We all worked incredibly hard on this project and so it was fantastic to all get together and celebrate it. Even though the ceremony was all in French, I understood just enough to understand and had a wonderful translator next to me filling me in on all the important details I was missing. For example ... that guy just said something was fantastic... It was great. We finished the evening off with a dinner at Indiana Cafe. The only place in Paris you can find proper nachos, mozzerella sticks and all sorts of dirty American style bar food!! The rest of the week continued with French lessons, Annual Report planning, meetings about communications and events and just a lot of work. Which all helped play into my excitement and anxiousness to get home on Monday - yup that's right this Monday!! YAY!! I can not wait. I am sure you are wondering why this lead me to title the post Drunk Baking but I am about to spill it. I am so excited to go home and really just spend some quality time with my favorite people in life - my family and my friends who may as well be my family. One of those lovely ladies shared this video with me and said something about it reminded her of me. At first I was skeptical until I began watching and now I fully understand where she was coming from. This is exactly what I miss about being home and I plan on reinacting this video with my best girlfriends as soon as possible ;)))))))))
