Joyeux Anniversaire!

I bought Jason a birthday present earlier today. His birthday is not until May.

I'm a wee bit keen, I know.

It's not even a surprise present. He knows I've bought it.. and what he's getting.

Why?

The reasoning behind it is because it involved a little pre-planning. And a little pre-purchasing, too. Since my new job doesn't give me as much time off as teaching does, long weekends are few and far between. The next one is over Easter in March, so I've snatched it up, marked it on the calendar and am spoiling the boy in advance.

We're going to PARIS!

Three nights, four days, one centrally located hotel, Euro Disney and a whole lot of sight seeing. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it - and it's not even my birthday.

Happy (early) Birthday, Jason. And thanks for paying for your present on your credit card .. I promise I'll be paying you back soon. *snickers*

    Oh my gosh. You're like, the best girlfriend ever! Seriously, I hope that boy knows how lucky he is. He has a girlfriend that would let him pay for his own birthday present on his credit card. ;-)

    Just kidding. Sounds like SOO much fun!

    That's what I miss the most about living in Germany - it's proximity to the rest of Europe and TRAVELING!

    I mean, roadtrips in the U.S. are all sorts of fun, but you can drive for days and STILL be in the U.S.

    Blah.

    I've bought my husband his birthday present early as well but it's certainly not a trip to Paris!

    Cool! What a great present! Torsten has already gotten my birthday present too, even though my birthday isn't til the end of March... we're going to Chicago. Not quite Paris, but it will have to suffice.
