Hi all! Thank you for the warm welcomes!

BW - we are mainly waiting to make a complete switch until we've read the books. Nothing annoys me more than when someone wants to do a program and has not read the book! And we are not planning so much a shopping spree as a shopping trip that is going to cost more than the $30 we usually have allotted for the week - one income right now and it's tougher than we thought... 'nother time, 'nother story.

As for my username... I love France and French culture so Paris was a natural choice (I also just love it as a name). On other boards I am known as Paris Madeleine, which is after the posh hotel in downtown Paris.
