It's official. I'm going to Paris! Everything just seemed to come together at the right time, so as kind of a "we shouldn't live three thousand miles apart and struggle so hard to see each other" present, I'm taking my mother on a trip, via New York, to gay Paree. She's been, and loved it; I haven't, and really had no desire to, but like I said, it all came together, and I'm beyond thrilled.

The weird part is I really wanted to share the news with you guys first. I've already planned to keep a written journal so I can provide you with "Adventures with Mousie" immediately upon our return. I know I'm getting mushy, but this whole community really is so special and we're all so so lucky. Thank you... ALL of you, for that.

And STAY TUNED!
