Friday

So I won’t be blogging for 2 weeks …

But I’m sooo excited! I haven’t packed yet – we don’t leave the house until noon or so. I need to get on that, but right now I’m just finishing up my laundry. Hehe yes I am a procrastinator.

CoronaX2 with the fam – I’m just getting them prepared for France … I love my family.

Today at work was hellish. I set 325 place settings, that is a ridiculous amount. I also averted some minor wedding crises dealing with tables and things like that. Events stuff is stressful, but it’s fun to see the transition from a bare room to a room ready for a party. This wedding is going to be tomorrow and outside, so I hope it stops raining for their sake. I’m kind of glad I will be gone because I don’t really want to deal with all the craziness. Plus I get to skip all the awkwardness of grad party season – “Hey, I haven’t seen you in two years, how are you?”.

I am sooo excited! Have I mentioned that yet? We’re staying in Paris for about a week which will be phenomenal. I looked through my (six rolls) of film from France 2005 and things started coming back to me. My French is very rusty but I’m sure it will be fine. I just wish I had people my age going so that I could go do nightlife stuff, but oh well. Exploring the city will be fun too … Paris is so pretty!! I don’t really know where all we’re planning on going, but I’m not too concerned about it. We’re also going to Germany for a few days, but that part of the trip always gets neglected because we’re so excited about France. Not that I don’t like Germany, but I haven’t really been there and don’t speak German at all. Maybe the beer will be good? Although I’m usually not much of a beer drinker. Germany will be a new experience and I like exploring new places, so I’m sure it will be fun .

So apparently my parents ran into D’s dad today at this sandwich shop and they were making lovely banter with him, and saying things like “Em’s more easygoing (mom) / nicer (dad) when she’s with D”. Thanks guys! Honestly, I can see easygoing, but not nicer. I like to think I’m always nice. After some pressuring my dad rephrased this into “more likely to let things go”, but still. They like him more than me … it’s fine. They don’t actually … I guess it’s good that they like him, right? And they were probably just making these cracks to entertain his dad … hopefully …

Anyway. Last night was the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance. That show is a lot of fun and always makes me wish I was a better dancer.

Ok, I should probably go pack. Le sigh.

Mwuah!
