A few things to catch you up on

First I’m sorry I pittered out on the Paris blog. What happened was on Thursday we last week we did absolutely nothing. And by nothing I mean we spent 5 ½ hours in a café chatting with Audry and her husband. We talked about everything under the sun and quite frankly it was awesome. So cool to spend a Parisian day like a Parisian, with Parisians. Vraiment. Then we made in back to the apartment in time to get the call from Anna that her and Yasmine had landed and they would be by shortly. So we spent the next 4 hours chatting with them. So really not much action to report.

The super funny thing was, though, we wanted to go out to eat and walked away from this nice looking place b/c we thought that it looked a little pricy. So my mom wanted to go to Café Voltaire, which was literally 6 steps from our door. We pile in there, I don’t look at a menu assuming it was already pre-qualified, sit down and realize the prices are about double that of the restaurant we “turned down” because it was pricy. OH LORD. So everyone was over it in a heartbeat and I was mortified, but whatever.

The super fun thing was at the table next to us was a nice group of folks some Americans having dessert as we oogled over there dessert we chatted a bit. I realize I recognized the lady at the end of the table…it turns out it’s the designer Hilde from TLC’s hit show Trading Spaces. She looks exactly the same and as fabulous as she does on TV. Girlfriend also took down a plateful of cream puffs, ice cream and chocolate sauce like it was nobody’s business. Yeah girl…get it!
