Moving back to a place with Cake Frosting

Moving, it is always a hassle and not in the oh no I have to pack up these boxes type way but the oh my gosh if I don't figure out how to fit this gigantic pot into this teeny tiny box then it will be sitting here in France while I am trying to whip up a loving meal in New York sans necessary equipment! The real news right now though is this french version of Craigslist.org... Leboncoin.fr! It is great and surprisingly they have gone beyond the selling scope of Craigslist to include every single region in France so whether you live in a small town of 400 or an enormous town of 2 million, you can get your "stuff" out there and in front of those who are willing to buy it. Those items that are just junk to me are, as I read somewhere one time, someone else's treasure! So someone else somewhere in this vast country (even though its smaller than Texas) is out there waiting to buy my vacuum cleaner, my dishwasher AND my microwave along with my ipod speakers, my floor length mirror, my bathroom scale and my multi-plug plugs! Can we say "amazing!"! Leboncoin.fr is making my life so much simpler as we speak. I am not having to worry over leaving my poor ipod speakers sitting in the corner of an empty apartment collecting dust while I make my trek back to the great US because someone already agreed to purchase at my asking price. I am instead getting to enjoy my week, plan what souvenirs I need to grab before heading back and bake lots and lots of cupcakes (with frosting I brought back from the US!) to travel with us to Nice for Easter weekend.
