why, hello!!!

So funny story. When I booked my plane ticket I chose a date and just did it. I didn't debate what dates were best or talk it over with someone to confirm the best dates for all involved. I just called the operator, randomly chose dates, and booked it. So for the two weeks I was in the States I didn't really know when I was leaving to come back to Paris. On a side note: it does get a bit complicated when you remember that the date also changes depending on who is asking me since my flight is overnight and encompasses 2 days. So the day comes that I think I am to fly back to Paris. I had packed my bags the night before and said all my good byes and even stayed up late the night before so I'd be tired for my flight. My mom woke me up way too early the morning of to tell me I had booked my ticket for the NEXT day. not that day. Oh boy, here we go again. I panicked and laughed all at the same time. If you know me or have read this blog for any amount of time you'll know that I'm infamous for screwing up my flying schedules. From booking the wrong dates/year I want to fly, to missing flights, to not knowing what day I had booked... flying and I have a constant hate/love relationship. So there you have it. I had one more day in Texas. It ended up being such an awesome day! I got to spend more time with my sister and mom, go to the rodeo one more time with friends, and see another old friend I hadn't seen in a long time who'd just flown in to visit her family. So it really was a good thing. But seriously, Kara!!!!

So, when I finally got back to Paris (yay!), this is what greeted me!!! SPRING!!!! Le printemps! It was such a blessing to come back to this! After the hell of a time Paris had given me in Jan and February, when I left I was so not in a loving place with this city. But to be greeted with such a beautiful day made up for it all! I forgive this magnificent city for all her harsh days and have moved on to start the season of picnics, days in the parks, sleeping with the windows open, long days full of sunshine, and good memories! This really is the best time of the year to be in this city.

And, I think I have successfully conquered jet lag. No lie!

Thats all. Profite-bien mes amies!
