If you've seen the cheesy and yet oh so fabulous chick flick "The Holiday", then you'll remember the point in which Kate Winslet walks into the Hollywood mansion of Cameron Diaz only to run around giggling and dancing about at how huge and fabulous it all is.
I'm Kate Winslet, and this is my mansion.
I arrived in Hartford at 1:00 this afternoon to be picked up by Carol, the girlfriend of Maya's father (who I will be an au pair for here in CT for 2 weeks and then in France for a month). We had a lovely chat about family quirks and the town, picked up the dry cleaning and headed home. Home = a completely restored 3-story house on a private drive. Did I mention I'll be driving the Hummer while I'm here?
Not only is the house one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, it boasts art gallery paintings, ancient sculptures, and my living space....a bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and a sitting area with a complete wall-to-wall window view of the back yard/woods. Now don't get a decor of modern and cold in your mind, this house is far from that. In fact, it's one of the homiest mansions I've ever been inside. We picked up Maya from school (she has a little attitude, but I saw through it right away and worked my nanny magic.....meaning, she loves me *grin*) and am going to leave at 7:30 tomorrow morning to cheer her on at her track meet. The private school feels like Harry Potter and the little boys in their suits should be whipping out their wands in a moments notice.
Well, I'm exhausted from getting up at 5:00 this morning, so I'll sign off for now, a la prochaine!
