Hi! Well, today was last day I had to wrap up the Paris side of my to-do list before I head to the US for Christmas with my family. Did I get it all done? Yes, I did! So tomorrow will be a travel day, then I'll work on the US side of the to-do list and hope to get all of my last minute Christmas shopping done in time! Again, I have so much to be thankful for....like...
1) finding a new place to print AND remembering to print my itinerary!
2) the feeling of relief at finishing all of the work I had to do before I could take a break
3) that my friend who just had surgery is recovering nicely
4) that we had beautiful snow again this morning, but that it is NOT supposed to snow tomorrow--the day that I fly to the US!
5) that I get to SEE and HUG my beautiful, wonderful parents TOMORROW!!!!!
