So asteres wants to know something happy about the day of everyone on his friends list. Fine. Don't blame me if it makes you feel depressed.

I found out yesterday about a one-day sale with insanely low fares to London on British Airways, emailed Mom, within four hours, we had tickets for ten days in London in December. And Mom suggested spending a couple of days in Paris this time.

Going abroad twice in six months. I feel so incredibly weird and yet so cosmopolitan at the same time.

Thanks! I've been to London several times (she says with a world-weary air...), but never to Paris. I suggested to Mom that we do a side-trip to Paris this summer, when I did my internship in Shropshire, but we couldn't work it in, so I'm glad she suggested it this time. I'm now in the throes of trying to figure out where we should go and what we should do when in Paris for a day and a half. Once we get there, of course, we'll throw all our plans to the wind and do whatever, but we have to have plans, otherwise we end up sitting in the hotel room reading instead of going out. Heh.

I thin she finally decided on Paris after she told me a few weeks ago that her dad had been in Paris when he was in the service in World War II and loved it to pieces, but when he and my grandmother retired and started a bunch of European traveling, they went to Paris once and then never went back again. Mom doesn't know why. I'm guessing she started thinking about it then.
