A Birthday in Paris
A girl sometimes gets lucky enough to go on a weekend away. She gets lucky enough to spend time with just her boy, and she gets lucky enough to go up the Eiffel Tower on her Birthday (the lifts are terrifying, the view is terrific) and to eat Creme Brulee in Amelie's cafe the day or so after.
It was a lovely birthday. Quite the loveliest birthday. And I spent it with N.
Since then, I've been bucketing about the place like a lunatic, dealing with an insane quantity of Brownie Admin. Because, you know, if I get it done, then I can settle down to enjoy myself.
The silly thing is, I never seem to get the time to enjoy myself unless I make the time in front of all the admin....and that seems terribly wrong (and that attitude is why I ended up squeezing three days of work into two days at work last week, and exhausted myself in the process).
Oooh, and I managed another 10k race at the weekend. N got a PB. I was 30 seconds off mine. However, I'd got a vague idea that all I wanted to do was get round in under an hour, so that was quite the achievement in and of itself. Naturally, I have replaced the calories with chocolate several times over since.

That sounds like a fabulous birthday. I only had one day in Paris, but it was enough to fall in love with it. And I usually hate cities.
Wow.. go you! You look SO happy and N is a handsome catch, missy
happy birthday! and stick with the chocolate.
