Our last day in Paris was a half day before our flight and we had just a couple more things to do. The first thing was breakfast. I have to say that of all the things I miss in America, going to breakfast is near the top of my list. Ever since we got married [...]

1:32 He’s in a tux. Success.
1:37 Am impressed with number so far. Can’t type- must watch.
1:46 I like the old winners but I miss the clips of the movies. Tilda still looks like a crazy bag lady- it must be said again.
1:48 Now I guess I have to put up with ScarJo and go see [...]
Red Carpet!!!

10:59 I am watching the red carpet coverage on E! They do the best although Mr. Jay makes my teeth itch. It has almost started!!
11:01 Miley looks shockingly age appropriate. I like her dress and that makes me kinda disappointed. That could have been a great train wreck. Oh, well there are plenty of upcoming [...]

After we finished up the palace in Versailles, we stopped for a very authentic French lunch before we hopped back on the train.
We both had the French version of the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, which is called the Royal (presumably because of their preference to monarchy over the Imperial system.) I have eaten McDonald’s [...]
Bonjour, Part Deux!

On Friday we decided to head out to Versailles to see the palace! Even if you aren’t in Paris very long, it is worth it to take the train and see it. To our great surprise it had snowed in Versailles the night before! We took tons of pictures of the rooms because each one [...]

I wanted to come home from Paris and tell you that it is so overrated, and what you see in movies is total crap and it isn’t romantic and beautiful. But it is. It was completely lovely and full of cheese and wine and chocolate and beautiful places and little brasseries on every corner. We [...]
Sellout

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have sold out to London. I am so ashamed. They say that the best defense is a good offense (or is it the best offense is a good defense? I don’t do sports analogies.) I came to London on offense. I would not be changed. I wore my pearls, teased my [...]

We had a fairly low key weekend, the highlight being a night of Italian food, Cranium and Apples to Apples with our friends. Nothing really blogworthy. We are busy getting ready to leave on Thursday for a long Valentine’s Day weekend in Paris!! My question for those of you who have been to Paris is: [...]
Guess Who? *Updated*

Mike and I went to the National Portrait Gallery together on Saturday afternoon. We just wandered around the rooms and spent a few hours looking at all of the paintings. I ran across this one and stopped dead in my tracks. Take away the wig and who it it? It’s Uncle Bob!!!! I can see [...]
