Monday.... time to make the bread.

What a nice weekend!!!  Beautiful day on Friday and Saturday, the rain yesterday wasn't bad either.  


Trying to get everything for my London trip.  I needed a new waterproof rain coat.  I went to Eddie Bauer on Thursday night when I landed and grabbed one off the clearance rack for $50.  I was super excited.   I was also on the hunt for some new waterproof shoes for London.  I went everywhere on Saturday and couldn't find anything I wanted.  So I came home that night and researched via Amazon and Zappos.  I found a pair of Keen and a pair of Merrell that I liked.... so then I researched some places around us that would have them.  We went on Sunday and I bought a pair of Merrells.  I have a pair of Merrells clogs that I LOVE so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I got theses -  Merrell Shoes.      So I think I'm all set.   


Saturday afternoon I spent sometime booking our hotels...  I have been looking at them for weeks but I couldn't figure out where we wanted to stay.  I had already booked my hotel for the client but I needed to find rooms for when Carl came over.  So I started looking at all my points and then all the places that I could stay with them.   I wasn't able to use my points for airfare because I wanted a non-stop for Carl to come to Heathrow and British Airways is the only one from BWI.  I didn't have enough American Airlines for that flight (I could use AA points towards British Airways since they use the same point group) but I did have enough points for hotels.  I'm super excited that we don't have a pay a dime for hotels, we are using solely my points.  We are staying at a Holiday Inn for the first night that Carl comes in since it's close to our train station.  We are then staying at Le Méridien Montparnasse in Paris and then JW Marriott Grosvenor Square in London.  I can't wait!!!!  


Welp this cycle is a bust.  I didn't respond to the medicine at all!!!  So I'm flying back out to my client tonight to finish the week out.  I'll get more information at 2pm for bloodwork but basically it's a bust!!  No biggie.  I can drink lots of champagne in Paris now :)  Plus with how this cycle is going, I think I can wait for another week or 2 for my period, which will be great timing for when I get home from Europe!
