Calling all my Parisian blogging buds…I want to meet you in person!
As you know (I know, I haven’t stop whining about it for weeks) I am going to be in YOUR hometown in October and I would love the opportunity to meet you.
Erica and Maggie, the fabulous ladies of HiP Paris blog are helping me organize an apero where we can get together and meet each other in person. I know that a lot of you have met each other already, but I haven’t met ANY of you and I would just love it.
The date is Friday night, October 15th. Time and place to be determined, need to work with Erica and Maggie to finalize.
I have created a RSVP form so that I know who all is interested.
Can’t wait to meet you!

It’s weeks away. The plane ticket is purchased. The hotels booked. The only item remaining is the sweet anticipation of waiting for “the” day to arrive.
Easy part right?
Not really. The anticipation can kill you.
There is that far-off stare. I am victim of it daily.
You can try to fill in the gap with other trips, other moments, but nothing replaces the one. They are meaningless affairs which only distract you momentarily.
My problem is I have travel fever. I need a nice long trip to scratch the itch. It has been far too long since my last trip of that nature, something that I will make sure to remedy the remainder of this year and into the next.
In the meantime, the anticipation is killing me!

With all my whining in the last weeks about my impatience for my October trip to France, this post should come as no surprise.
With the exception of a handful of days over the past few years, Misadventures with Andi has had a post every single day. It’s the whole notion of Blogging with Discipline, that’s what the little blue-sparkly badge in my sidebar promotes. As Beth states in her post describing this concept, “I write more good stuff by writing daily than I would by writing less frequently.”
Believing whole-heartedly in this concept, over the last two years whenever I have gone on an extended vacation I have invited people to guest post. I am always thankful for all the wonderful bloggers who step forward to volunteer, it means not only writing content for their own blog or blogs, but also writing extra for me!
So here it is. My open call for guest posters for October. I need posts to cover 15 days. It’s a lot, but I know that I have plenty of friends out there!
If you are interested, please email me at MisadventuresWithAndi AT gmail DOT com or contact me on Twitter at @andi_fisher, I’d love to hear from you!

After two years at work, I am quite frankly sick of my lunch options. I have started exploring the outer realms of my normal geographical circumference and this week have traveled to two new lunch spots thanks to colleagues who have been my guide.
Monday was Chinese, very spicy, very tasty, but very greasy, so not some place I would eat too often. Yesterday was a tiny Mediterranean cafe where I had a lamb sandwich that was quite good. I topped off my lunch by venturing a little further and trying out the newish cupcake shop about a half block further down.
The photo is one of the mini cupcakes I picked up, the flavors change daily and this one was a strawberry cream.
