Down to the wire

Last weekend in San Diego, this time next weekend, I will be at the Lourve, seeing the Moulin Rouge Show and leaving Paris for Amsterdam.

I took my last French class (for now) at Language World on India St., I can actually speak a teenzy bit, I feel confident just enough to get around without feeling lost. Also, went to Parkway Plaza to buy the last of the odds and ends for my trip. Watched Amelie, cutest movie ever....I love the haircut Audrey Tatou has in this movie, but it would look very childish on me.

I will probably go to yoga, this morning and then pack some more. Also, need to pack the kids and Stewie up. Kids are sharing their time between grandparents and Stewie is going with Debby the whole time. Monday is cleanup day at work, need to tie the ties and dot the i's. I vow not to check work email, it will only make me anxious. Flight is early Tuesday....arrival in France, in the morning on Wednesday. So excited, can't wait.

This weekend and beyond...

French Class- my second to the last class before I go to Europe.
Confident enough to say oui, non, ca va, de rien, where es la bain de salle. Which translates to yes, no, good or ok, it was nothing, where is the bathroom. Maybe I can count to twenty too and say right and left. I think I know more that that but really you need to be immersed in a language to learn it properly.

Pool Material investigation. We are looking into a swimming pool in my backyard. Nothing is definate, but it is a good chance, we may be swimming by my birthday. We may visit the block and brick to see what materials are out there. We will get out to the great city of Lakeside in the next weekend or so.

Mother's day- My 10th celebration, The last two m days sucked majorly like two bad nightmares. I guess it is really my 8th Mother's day on Sunday.
Elise wrote me the cutest card book. She loves me and I love her too it says. I also rescue her from her bad dreams letting her sleep in my bed. How cute.

Packing for my trip- I hate packing, but I guess this is for a good cause.

SeaWorld day trip with Elise- This Tuesday with her school, I will get to ride on the special bus with the rest of them. No rides, just good ol' Shamu and ocean education.

Going on my trip, I think I have been planning for like a year and putting the trip to Europe off for like five years. Rick Steves has become my friend, I have invested hundreds in his madness.

My presale for the Madonna concert. 7pm on Tuesday..May 27 at a fast internet connection in Amsterdam. I will take out a small loan for these babies. There will be two good things happening on Nov. 4, Election Day and my date with Madonna.

Possible future model in Elise...she will be doing the next photo shoot that Suzanne is doing with bridesmaids, Elise will be playing the flower girl. Did I mention, this will be published in a San Diego Bridal Magazine?

Summertime.....Is there going to be a weather change? Al Gore will know the answer.
