huit jours

let me explain my title to you.  ali, you already understand my title, so :P.  in french, 8 days = 1 week.  i know what you are thinking, and let me address it quickly (no, the french did not add an extra day to the week, they'd go on strike).  in one week (american), there are seven days.  when i count out the days, i start with tomorrow, not today.  the french start with today and when you do that, you get 8.  ta-da.

but essentially, i only have that many days to get ready before i leave for the café lined streets of paris.  i am already dreaming of the sales, the shoes, the coffee, the lingerie, the coffee, and the coffee.  but it isn't the work that is concerning me.  i have some major socializing to do before i go, some family time that needs to be spent, some gifting, some bonding, and i need to engage in some major quality time with thomas.  8 days.
