Time is not on my side..
Holy moses, where does the time go? Didn't I just get off a train from Paris? You're probably thinking I'm still detoxing, that maybe it wasn't going so well and I've been curled up in bed swearing I will never drink wine again. (would never happen by the way, wine and I are the best of friends)
I assure you, I am fully detoxed, but I seem to have been sucked into some sort of time vacuum where I wake up every morning and think:
"Wait. What just happened?"
So I have no idea where the last 7 days have gone and the rest of this one is booked solid. The parents just arrived in jolly old england yesterday, and I am in official tour guide status mode.
Dad has already decided that I make my coffee way too strong. And this is a man who likes strong coffee.
I know, right?
Anyway, the fun is only just beginning. Because after they head off to visit family in the rest of Europe, a super duper* friend of mine from Toronto is coming to stay with us and her and I are going to paint the town red.
Sparkly red.
With maybe some splashes of orange.
Who knew October could be so darn fun?
Now, about that coffee..
*super duper is a phrase that is tragically under used. Don't you think?

is the big day coming up soon? is that why the family is arriving? exciting stuff, don't eat too much salt at night though, it will cause the black bags under the eyes.
Heck yes!!!! Must increase the use of super duper. Just made a pot of tea, thinking of you. It's serious tea weather. Super duper tea weather.
you drink coffee? I thought you sophisticated brit-types only drank tea.
I am officially adding "super duper" back into heavy rotation. Have a have a great time painting the town red.
Hope your parents have a super duper trip. How many more days til the big day?
Kat, still a few weeks to go. And thanks for the tip, I'll need all the help I can get!
Alisa, it is always tea weather in our book, don't you think? I'm heavy into the coffee these days though, I'm feeling the need for some extra caffeine!
David, I am just full of surprises aren't I? That's why you love me. I know it.
Omo's mom, you better! You know I'm a good source for groovy phrases (note the use of the word groovy)...
