50 days and bonjour, de paris!

 

The countdown started months ago but now that it's closer I don't feel so silly sharing my excitement. 50 days and I'm off to Paris! I'm a little nervous for many reasons:

1. I have zero patience and the flight is extremely long. I'll be taking sleeping pills.

2. I was given an extremely tiny suitcase to take along (thank you Aunt!) but am notoriously known for NOT being a light packer.

3. French people are known for being mean. And I probably shouldn't sass back.

Regardless, I am beyond excited to visit a city I've always wanted to see, eat great food, shop, and spend some quality time with my family. What a blessing.

Anyone have travel tips?

Love always, Jessica

The art of letter writing seems to have disappeared, and I think we're worse off because of it. Personally, I love finding cards and letters in my mailbox. Who doesn't? I ran across these by Jack Cards and had to share some of my favorites. The best thing about Jack? He helps you keep track of important dates & will send you ready to mail cards for you to personalize. What a fabulous find for us absent minded.

Where am I?

Where am I? That is, with my new year resolutions? We are officially 2 months into 2010 and I'm feeling pretty good with myself, but I could definitely stand to improve in one area ($).

Spend more time with friends. Done. Regular happy hours & weekend activities have gone extremely well. Hooray for a healthy social life.

Travel more. I've done a trip to Phoenix already. Paris is 8 weeks away. New Orleans was cancelled but will likely be replaced by a NYC trip to see the ladies out East.

Read more. I had a date night with Powell's and came back loaded with some classics. I've read 'Into the Wild', 'How Starbucks Changed my Life' and am halfway through 'Into Thin Air'. Wee.

Be nicer. Not sure how I've done in this area  but I personally feel I've been extremely well-mannered.

Save more money. No comment. But I blame resolutions 1 through 3.

How about your resolutions? I bet you put 'Eat Healthier' as one of yours and that flew out the window on day 2? Note that I didn't even attempt that one ; )
