So, after a crazy week of trying to balance massive amounts of work, a really annoying illness, and continuing to decipher my life plan, I am leavin' town! That's right, it is spring break and I am actually taking a trip. I am off to Club Med with Stephane's mother and sister (and possibly his brother). We will spend a full week at La Plagne, in the French Alps, eating and skiing, or if you are me, rolling around in the snow trying to figure out how to get up, then saying "Fuck it" and going to drink a beer at the bar. Any that have been skiing with me in the past are certainly in a panic about now, thinking I will kill myself or others. We shall see. Considering my only other skiing experiences were at Greek Peak in Western New York (yes, you are right, there are no mountains in Western New York) it should be an interesting move to be at a place with 150 ski LIFTS and a view of the highest peak in the Alps!!! I am a little nervous, but I think it will be fun. I am signed up for 5 hours of lessons a day, so by the time I am done I hope to be an expert. I even bought my very own ski pants, which are very sexy. I was modeling them for Stephane, swooshing back and forth in the middle of the room. He suggested that I just fall to the floor as that is probably how I will look for the better part of 7 days.

But anyway, I will be away until April 17th, which means that Mandounette will be hibernating for a week. But there will be lots to report, I am sure, upon my return. I will send out an e-mail to let you all know when new posts are going up. Until then, go and see Jim Jarmusch's Coffee & Cigarettes if you can (I don't know if it has been released in the US yet or if it was released long ago and I just don't know) or spend time praying to Jesus, Buddha, or your breakfast cereal that I don't break my head.

Until then,
Your very spoiled Mandounette
