Hands from Korea. I got these pics in the correct order, you can actually scroll down on these. 

What is in here? 

Buddhas up close. You can just sense the serenity.

This is something new Kevin has sent... I will let you know how it is.... 

My favorite chocolates from Korea! They are SO yummy! Little chocolate "mushrooms" with a cookie stem! Soooooo delicious!  

I always forget that the blogs & photos pile up on top of each other... so for most of my posts you will have to scroll down and work your way back up for them to make sense!!

This tea set and tea arrived today from Kevin & Nahee in Seoul. 

Flowers from Mom. 

My flowers from Lupe. :) 

And he is done.... messy cat.... 

Miss Nushka is NOT amused. 

He is so wasted.... look at his one fangora poking out of his mouth... this cat is nuts! 

This is how a 19lb cat has a good time!! 

Get it Buddy, get it! 

Buddy gets in the catnip and goes crazy with an unsuspecting tennis ball 

Tulip?? Maybe a Peony.... Whichever, it looked cool! 

Tulips & Jonquils (my birth flower)

Dallas Arboretum - 03/25/2006 We had a great time! www.dallasarboretum.org

Hello all. I had a fantastic birthday on Friday and a wonderful birthday weekend. Lupe woke me up on Friday with candlelit chocolate cake and coffee... What a great breakfast!! Then there was a beautiful bouquet of pink lilies waiting for me in the living room and my surprise gift.... A gorgeous watch!! (see pic) Yea Lupe! I had the first meeting for the trip to France... the itinerary was a great b-day gift... haha More info on that to post later. My Mom & Charles sent me a beautiful bouquet of Gerbera Daisies. That Lupe is a sneaky one... He took me for an "overnight trip" to Dallas (Addison) to Texas de Brazil for dinner, a night in a hotel and shopping the next day at my favorites... Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma... Well, all that AND a new watch... He is a keeper!! We had a super fabulous meal at TdB ( www.texasdebrazil.com) then fun times at the Galleria the next day. Saturday was rounded out with our first trip to the Dallas Arboretum ( www.dallasarboretum.org ) to view Dallas Blooms 2006 (pics to follow at a later date). We finished our day with his parents treating us to dinner and then came home for video games... which we are both terrible at, but have fun nonetheless. Today I met up with a dear friend whom I do not get to see very often. She took me out for a fabulous meal of Lebanese food at Hedary's ( http://www.hedarys.com/) in Fort Worth. It was a great weekend! I think I am gonna love being 34!!! It has started off so darn well!! :)

My trip to France is becoming more and more of a reality!! I purchased my airline tickets yesterday, I filled out scholarship applications today and Friday (my 34th b-day) we have our very first informational meeting for all participants!!! So look for the itinerary to be posted soon!! I put a few France/French links on this page, but for some strange reason they are all waaaaay down at the bottom, so keep scrolling. Oh the excitement!!

60 DAYS TO PARIS!!!! I booked my flights today! Oh my goodness! I AM GOING TO PARIS!!!

Fellow Bloggers... can you tell me why all my links, profile info, etc is at the bottom of the page instead of on the side.... I am perplexed! Merci!!!
