I have lost 17 pounds since September. Can you believe that shit? I mean, I've been working out consistently and feeling good and all, but I had no idea.
I love calculations that turn out in my favor. Now I'm going to try to take that vibe into doing my taxes. . . . and ride it all the way through end-of-term grades on to bikini season!
I'm also thinking about taking a trip. I need an adventure to look forward to, and a break mid-winter, early spring always does me right. Now it's down to Paris or Atlanta. They both have reconnections on the table; Atlanta has better weather in March and a writer's conference that could be a career booster; and Paris, well, I mean come on! I've been hankering for visual art, sophistication and fun--is there any better place for that combo? I reckon, considering the facts at hand, the trips would each cost the same. But I could write off Atlanta. I guess I could write off Paris, too, if I produced an article or something about it. . . .
Obviously I'm leaning toward Paris. Wouldn't you?

Hi, sweets!
I would definitely do Paris, although my friend/old boss went there in April one year and hated the weather. I guess it's not the same as saying "April in Paris."
Just thought I'd mention that part...and thanks for linking to my blog! We had a great time seeing you and hope you can visit for longer.

i've never been to paris before, but oognwoog is right about the weather during april. it's not fun. : /
still, i still say paris. because it's paris!
I know, I know, but you know, the weather outside doesn't matter worth a hill o' beans when you're traipsing through museums, sitting around in cafes and dancing your ass off in night clubs, does it?
Thanks for the reality check, y'all--it's making me think more about how this trip (as all trips) will ultimately be about the company I keep. It ain't no sun holiday, that's for sure. . . .
And to both of you--dang if I don't miss y'all--so, so good to see you in Chicago!
