I'm back. More on France later... when I have time and when my body figures out what day it's supposed to be and if it should be eating, sleeping or pooping.

As a side bar, Princess scared the crap out of me by having a stoke while I was gone (scared the crap out of himself as well). He's alright, he's been tested for everything imaginable, it was just a fluke. I'm still extremely worried and stressed out about the ordeal, I can't stop thinking about him and what happened. It's highly possible that I'll drive to Winona before Saturday to see him and make sure he's ok in person.

In the meantime, I'm going to hit up the bank and then bask in the sun at Pool de Northrup. Laters.

I'm going to France tomorrow, wish me luck!

Other Sara Life Updates:
*Colorado was awesome. I'm want to go back ASAP... especially this winter to get some more skiing in. I'm thinking early January for a week of skiing and cousin visiting.
*Last week was party prep week (I love you Mom but I'm glad the party prep is over). As you can see by my previous post, the party was fun.
*I don't have a job until July due to my going to France. Once I return from my travels abroad I will be working at Old Navy in Eagan and I will be a preschooler with Autism's paraprofessional. I'm a tish neverous about the para job since I've never been a para before. I think the student and I will be learning a lot from eachother (I'm sure there will be oodles more posts on this topic later). ON should be just like the old days minus all my ON Ladies and it'll be nice to go back to something familiar.
*Speaking of France... I'm going there in about a week and a half. I leave on June 16th and won't be back until June 29th/30th (Heaven only knows what time the flight will get in... and what day I'll think it is due to jet lag). I get more and more excited about it everyday. I finished Davinci Code so I have to search out all of the stuff associated with the book. I'd also like to be an "American Girl who falls in Dior" like Carrie Bradshaw did in the last episode of Sex and the City. If I can swing it, I'm going to try to ski in the Swiss Alps (if I can ski in May in Colorado, I should be able to ski in June in the Alps). The only other thing I need to do while I've over there is look through cute little shops and buy cute little things for my friends and loved ones in the states.
*My pen pal is going to kick the snot out of me because I haven't written for a thousand years and then the package of cookies and a CD I sent last Tuesday got delayed. I feel absolutely horible about it and I wish there was some way of letting him know that there's stuff coming his way. Sorry Mike!!! Cookies, a letter and a CD are coming!!!!! (I hope he can hear me shouting that in Iraq).
*I've had a major shopping problem since I came home home from Winona. I think it's caused by a combination of Winona not having any good shopping close by and Lakeville having good shopping and the largest mall in America located within fifteen minutes of my home. It's just so tempting, I can't stay away... but I must! My mission for the next week and a half is to stay away from the mall(s) at all costs.
*I hate typing on a desk top keyboard instead of a laptop. My left pinky is becoming stained. I'll take a break from typing for a bit..................
*................
*I'll be spending this weekend in Winona. On Saturday, I'm taking the Praxis II Test (it will tell the state whether or not I'm a moron and if I should be allowed to have a teaching license... huh, I just realized, I might actually get a license on time... weird...). I will also be attending a wedding with the Princess... actually, I'll just be sitting at a table all by myself cause he's in the wedding and I'm his date who has to come and be supportive. I'll do my best to be supportive and look as cute as possible. On Sunday Pretty, Trace, Scoot and I are gonna go to an air show. I'm not sure if I'll be entertained so I might bring a book to keep my smarty pants commentary on the DL.
And I think that's all because I have to go to bed so I can get up and do pretty much nothing tomorrow. Good night and BIG kisses to everyone.

The Rent's 25th Anniversary Party occured yesterday. It was a rip roaring bash where fun was had by all. Tons of family members, friends and people I didn't know invaded the backyard to celebrate 25 years of marriage with the mom and the dad. Mom did a shot with Tracy, Princess met the extended family (Grandmothers, Karen, Al and Erin, AND Biff approved), the band rocked (even when they had to go to an acoustic sing along), and I ate lots of yummy cake. While it was an extremely successful party, the new rule around the house is: NO MORE PARTIES AT HOME. The end.
