Remember that settlement I got from Actor Cop? Well I had some money left over. Alot of money, actually, since the judge saw fit to award me for lost wages.

So I decided: I could play it safe. I could put it in savings. I'm poor.

Or I could do something I've been dreaming about since I was 15 and make my much dreaded 40th something to look forward to.

So I did.

I can't even tell you the last time I spent this much money in one fell swoop. Oh, wait: it was a security deposit on this apartment!!!!!! Okay, I can't tell you the last time I spent this much money on something I wanted just for me. Oh wait: that was my car.

I'm totally hyperventilating. I'm also completely out of my mind excited. I don't even have a passport yet. Or anyone to go with. But......hopefully the latter can be corrected soon, and the former is easy to deal with.

VIVA LA FRANCE!! :)
