Boy, this week will not end! I cannot wait until Friday at 13:13 when Alayna and I leave for Paris. I don't even know what else to say. Au revoir, Brussels.
This is a week of firsts...
-My first encounter with Belgian food. It made me want a cheeseburger badly, really badly.
-The first time I missed my train to work. I even ran to try to catch it.
-My first trip to a European library. I felt like I stepped in a time machine and landed in 1977. It made me miss James B. Duke.
- My first trip to the North Sea. By bike too!
-The first time I talked to a child in 5 weeks! My boss introduce me to his daughter today. She kept calling me Kitty instead of Katie. I really did not care.
- My first trip to Fat Boys, an American sports bar in Brussels. There was a picture of Eddie George in a Tennessee Titans uniform on the wall AND a Masters flag AND English speakers. Amazing.
- The first time I wore my running clothes to class. My American-ness came out, who cares?!
- First paper... due tomorrow.
- My first time to sing in a public restroom. Yep, I did it this morning at the train station to the Beetles. I don't even like the Beetles...
- First time to say y'all at work. Talk about throwing your coworkers a curve ball!
- My first day off work is this Friday. And I am going to Paris!
Note: I know I have my black jacket on in just about every picture. Hard to believe that is all I could bring in my 2 suitcases, huh?! I promise that I have more clothing. I will try to wear it.
Thanks for all the emails and cards! I will write you all back... eventually. Love y'all!

yeah, katie. i would really appreciate it if u started changing your clothes. you're starting to smell, and i'm sick of that black jacket.
Obviously you don't like the Beatles that much...you can't even spell their name right! Loved this post...it made me laugh.
As long as you're not singing "Smokin' in the Boys Room" by Brownsville Station c.1973
While in the City of Lights, try to grab a beignet @ Benny's Cafe'.
Okay, now on this wardrobe deal. I don't know if it would be considered a malfunction, however, I do smell a stench all the way back here at 26 Century Blvd. and it's not me. So, are you really working? Nights on the town with Carlos? Being Carlosed.
I'll be having a serious conversation with Mom & Dad tomorrow evening about "The Adventures of Katherine" Have you sold any insurance? Been prospecting?
All the Pacesetters say "hello" Also, Craig Rowe asked if he could have access to your blog. I just told him no. You don't need some 30 yr old englishman harrassing you, at least as long as youre being carlosedized. Seriously, would you like him to have your blog site, or whatever you kidz call this thing?
Shalom & Bracha,
PS don't trust the french. oh, did i say that?
