Jetsetting, My, My, How Lovely...

Helloooo, my neglected nonexistent readers!
Merry Christmas to you Jesusians, Happy Hannukah to you lovely people of Israel, Happy Kwanzaa to whoever celebrates that (?), or Happy Winter if you're an ATHEIST! ;) Guess what, my multicultural friends? I'm going HOME!!! Well, sort of. I'm going back to Beirut, Lebanon, for Christmas...to see family and just because we love it. I used to live there. And our layover is in PARIS! Funfunfun with the French! Going to the Louvre and the Xmas market on the---let's see if I can spell it---Chans du Lise! It's goin to be cooooool. And my aunt, who knows Paris like the back of her hand (lucky woman!!) is going to show us around. Lovelovelove, I am SO excited! Can you tell? Of course I will be telling all of you lovely yet invisible pals of mine about anything interesting that happens, but for now let me list the disastrous goings-on in my house as we last-minute pack.
A) My 11 year old brother broke his wrist last Wednesday. We get a call, in the car, from his doctor's office, canceling our appointment and pushing it to 10:30. We have to be AT THE AIRPORT 40 MINUTES AWAY at 11:30. My mother exploded, and then an hour or so later we get a call saying someone can see him at eight. QUITE a waste of that bottle of vodka my mother drained. Just kidding ;) she only had one glass. Red wine, she so classy!

B) I was completely finished packing, miracle of miracles. I go to put the CDs my best friend had made me on my computer to transfer the to my iPod, and my KEYBOARD AND MOUSE ARE NOT WORKING. So. AFter spending an hour and a half on the phone and on hold with tech support, who had zip idea how to fix it, I go into total breakdown mode. Crying, hyperventilating, downing that aforementioned vodka bottle. Just kidding. Yuck. But I did freak out. And then I called the source of the CDs, who reminded me why I love her in the first place---she immediately said "YES!! Now I get to add to that CD, AND make you the four more I didn't have time to yesterday!!!" Ahh. This woman saves my life/sanity on a regular basis.

So, the house is peaceful again. Mostly. Not a creature is stirring, not even a m...oh wait, there goes my brother. Haha, did you ever think any house with an eleven year old boy in it could ever be peaceful?

Well. Nothing more to say until we land in PARIS! For now, I have a date with that vodka bottle. Jeez, just kidding! When are you going to stop falling for that? ;)

Alright, I need to stop----I'm playing Bad Joke Friday and it's not even Friday yet!

Peace, Love, And Free Cheese to ALL!
