Pre-Paris

Well, I have made my peace with the weather forecast for our big trip.  Apparently Paris in the Spring = Paris in the rain. Depending on your attitude, that could sound miserable or magical and I've decided to look at it positively. I treated myself to a super cute raincoat, and picked up some super cheap shoes that can get ruined in Paris puddles all week and I won't have to worry about it.

I'm am literally the world's most dramatic packer. Today I must have had an out of body experience though, because I picked out and tried on all my clothes for the trip without a single meltdown, whine, or crying-fit. Maybe the key was that I went shopping immediately before packing, so I couldn't even think about having an "I have no clothes!" tantrum. This isn't to say that there won't be some last minute freaking out. I haven't even gone near a suitcase yet, let alone thought about toiletries or other miscellanei (hey, apparently that IS a word!) Anyway, regardless, this is a packing victory for me.

In no particular order, I can't wait for:
