Boobies of All Shapes and Sizes

Our third day in Paris took the hub and I back to Norte Dame as the hub wanted to get some photos in the daylight. After photographing every statue and gargoyle possible we went off to shop and buy food for an alfresco picnic in the park. We walked around the Latin Quarter and then moved to the St. Germain area. We went to eclectic shops (a candle maker, a perfumeries, etc.), stopped for some liquid hot chocolate sludge at Les Duex Maggots and a ton of food places (like a bread shop, a chocolatier, more bakeries, etc). Eventually, we ended up at The Bon Marche a huge department store. We had a blast shopping, they had this really cool kids' section with all kinds of educational toys I had never seen before. American kids are sure missing out!! There were several things I wanted but we settled on a few presents for other people and a tea pot for us. Yes, another tea pot. After shopping we ended up in The Bon Marche's Grand Food Emporium. They had food from all over the world. We each picked out some lunch meat and cheese. Along with the bread we had bought at the bakery earlier we headed to the park. The hub even found a bottle of that good sparkling water we had the other night with our side of brains. We didn't end up at the park we thought we were going to but we still had a great picnic. I loved my sandwich meat. It was so tasty. It was neat gathering up elements from all over town and having a feast in the park. After lunch, we shopped some more and headed back to the hotel to get ready for the cabaret. Despite it being very cold outside we put on our best clothes and headed out to Champs-Elysees to see LIDO, the hot new cabaret in town. We walked up and down the ritzy streets once more and stopped for dinner at McDonald's. We couldn't leave Paris without ordering a Royal with Cheese and can you believe they were actually out of them!!! Well, the hub ended up ordering a Deluxe Royale with Cheese minus all the deluxe which made it a regular Royale with Cheese so I don't understand why they were out. Who knows? And still disgusted by raw meat I got a chicken sandwich. The guy who helped us told us BON APPETITE as he gave us our food. The hub couldn't stop laughing. Bon Appetite for McDonald's he said. He doesn't have as much love for McD's as I do. In fact he only goes cuz I like it so he found the phrase Bon Appetite hilarious. I have to have McDonald's in every country I visited so at the very least I enjoyed dinner. Really McD's worked out for us because it was too late to eat somewhere nice and too early to get into the theatre. So our 45 minute dinner worked out great. Plus, I think I amazed some couple sitting next to me at how fast I could eat the food. The guy looked at me weird. I can't help but eat fast due to my movie-theatre years of 5 minute meals. We arrived at LIDO and had to wait in line. We got inside and they made us check our coats and a lady took us up to the balcony. We sat in the front row in the middle of the balcony. Perfect for seeing the entire show and a perfect for being able to enjoy a whole bottle of Champaign. Immediately, I learned why this show was so popular. All the topless girls were surely a hit with the crowd. I never seen so many pairs of boobs and different sizes in my life! It was nice to watch all those good looking girls and their perfect bodies waddle all over the stage. Gave me encouragement for like five minutes afterward to try and stop eating. The show was pretty good. It was like watching one of those Gene Kelly musicals with girls in costumes, waterfalls, and huge feathery things hanging from the ceiling. When the show was over I was a bit sad because it was our last major thing in Paris. We had a few hours the next day but we were due to hop a train back to Amsterdam. Oh Paris! I loved you and can't wait to get back to you!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
