TGIF...for real.

I know I've used this title before, but today I really mean it.  Thank g-d it's FRIDAY!  It has been quite a long week and it is finally the weekend and it looks like it will be a good one.  Hopefully the one weather website out of ten I found saying the weather will be nice this weekend proves the others wrong who say it will rain everyday.  Who knows, my birthday weekend the weather was supposed to be bad and it turned out beautifully.  My main concern is rain on Saturday, for the Solidays festival.  I have also loosely planned a picnic at Sacre Coeur for Sunday, so hopefully it will stay clear as well.  I am trying to make this picnic as large as possible - so anyone I know in Paris is invited...you know who you are, just bring wine and food and we will meet on the grass under Sacre Coeur in Montmartre.  

I AM GETTING MY NEW WASHING MACHINE/DRYER TODAY!!! I think I am a little too excited, but who cares.  It looks absolutely awesome and I have been waiting all week to do a wash and have it dried.  Just so you can be jealous - this new washing machine has a washing cycle of 15 MINUTES.  This is unheard of in France.  I will be doing very small loads - I do not want to break this machine!

I found out this week that one of the graphistes at work, Flo, will also be going to Sensation as well with a group of about 20 friends.  At the beginning we didn't really talk.  Then we were stuck in the graphiste office just the two of us for a good hour working and he started conversation.  Since then, we have developed this little friendship.  He is very very sympa, a little shy, but same with me.  He has been going to Sensation every year since 2005 and told me it is incredible.  I wasn't quite sure what it was all about and was just tagging along cause Lindsay really wanted to go and why not go to Amsterdam for a night for a Techno Festival when it is so close.  Flo said that more than going for the music, it is the decoration that is incredible.  Here is a photo from last year.  There is always a theme and this year it is the 10th anniversary and it is Winter Wonderland.  The only rule is that you must be dressed head to toe in white.  Lindsay is so cute - every time we talk she has thought up a new outfit.  I wish I had time to go shopping and find an awesome outfit to wear.  I will do it last minute.

It is the SOLDES right now.  This is like boxing day in the States, but it lasts for about a month starting June 24th.  People take work off to go to the sales - its crazy!  But stuff are really on sale, so I guess it's worth it.  I will wait till it calms down and then head out next weekend before Amsterdam.  

Fingers crossed for the weather.
