My workplace is really accommodating of life schedules (commonly, childcare, classes, appointments) so yeah, they can do this.

(Extra cranky because I woke up with cramps and was party to a really poorly run software install for which there was no excuse but the guy is WOUND & tends to get ahead of himself & cuts corners. So Extra EXTRA.)

Thrive to spite them
We are possibly going to have massive amounts of snow this weekend. Predictions are 12 inches maybe closer to 24. I don't know. I don't have to work this weekend and I'm assuming I won't be able to get in on Monday.
If we lose power we don't have cell service which means no phone. I don't know of anyone who lives nearby has one.
Mom was going to go to Florida but she is worried about leaving me alone but I should be fine. Matthew is wary about coming up and having problems getting to work. I cant go down to his place for the same reason.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm think of taking a trip to Paris next fall. I've never been. Anyone who has gone, start sending me suggestions, recommendations, and whatnot.

Ooooh. I spent something like 3 days in Paris 30 years ago, so I have no suggestions or recommendations but I am quite certain you should go!

Herding cats for fun
I got to visit Paris while I was in high school. Vaguely recall the Louvre and being surprised the Mona Lisa was so small. The best part of Paris was Notre Dame Cathedral. I loved the old stone and huge stained glass rose windows, the twisty staircase and seeing gargoyles up close.
There were probably some crusty baguettes and fine dining but I really can't remember.
Today I'd want to see Versailles and some rolling country side and not forget WWII history.

I think I did see Versailles. Shiny.

I am dying to take my family to Paris. FOUR people to Europe is so expensive, though. Sainte Chapelle is even better stained glass than Notre Dame, the Musee Picasso is amazing, and I walked everywhere. Bear in mind my in-person Paris knowledge mostly dates to 1988, when I lved there for six weeks. But in six weeks you do see ALL the Museums.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Definitely Sainte Chapelle.
And I think my favorite museum (aside from the obvious) was this one, which has (or at least had) the actual model apartment from Le Corbu's Radiant City!!
I feel like I basically just did the most obvious things in Paris (I was only there maybe 5 days?) and I regret NOTHING! Non, je ne regrette rien.
