The Baroness & Baron at Les Deux Moulins

One more sleep and this will be Madelle et Monsieur von Bloggenschtern:

(For those of you who have yet to see "Amelie"
- one of my absolute favorites - you'll know what this means.

For the others, get thee to a video store...)

*M.F. (Melodramatic Footnote) - I do apologize to those of you out there who think I might be gloating a little. I'm really not intending to come off that way - I'm just so exTREMEly excited I could pee the noble knickers.

One of my dreams has always been to go to Paris, and drink coffee at a small cafe on Le Rive Gauche. When I was sick a couple of years ago, at least a tiny bit of my sadness was knowing that this fantasy could possibly not become a reality.

But, thanks to the efforts and hard work of my CFO and partner-in-crime, it's all happening. 'Tis like living a dream. I love him already, but this trip is making me fall in love with him all over again. Ahhh.

Have a lovely trip Baronness! You certainly deserve it!

I hope you will think of me whenever you see chocolate! And I wouldn't mind having a pic of you enjoying Bruges (the rear view if you please... to add to my collection!)

Countess NATUI: Thank you! Hugs back to you, babe.

Countess AG: As for the photo, I do believe that I can make this happen. I had some dark chocolate today, with mon deca (decaf)shot, as a matter of fact, and strangely enough - you came to mind. I have seen much chocolate in our short time here - between that and digusting looking cheese (that even a mouse would barf at), that apppears to be all these people are truly crazy for...
