Taquinez*

*French for tease.

I was emailing Gary madly today, so we could select the room in Paris, make the arrangements, set the budget.

Bad news.
Come to find out tonight the rooms we want at the hotel we want are booked for the week we want.

Good News.
We can just move it up a week! Wheee!

Better News.
When I calculated the price it was far less than our budget. Seems the advance purchase price is over 100 euros a night less. I think the Euro would have to plummet 30% for us to lose money by doing the advance purchase. And even if it does I could buy currency options to make up the loss! HAHAHAHA! I am mad with math skills. Or, as I keep shrieking at work, “I have been OUT in the SUN!”

SO there I was, MasterCard gripped in hand so I could call them so they don’t think a fraud is afoot, ready to add my number and press submit, and Gary says, “Oh, wait!”

Bad News.
No, he just has to double-check he can get off on the new dates. Still, though. I was ready. Merde!
