So how do people here feel about the exclamation point? Because I tell ya, I use it a lot. Is this a limit of my vocabulary and writing, or is it really an effective way of injecting some excitement into a sentence?

A wise man once told me that fish and visitors both smell after three days. It isn't that Mike is tired of me and he would never tell me so. It is just that having a visitor can be exhausting. So, I afraid I have overstayed my welcome. Which is convenient because today I return to London! But let me tell you, I could not have asked for a better host and visit. I feel like I got to see a little of France and of what Mike's life is like here. And most importantly of all I got to spend time with Mike. Doing what Mike and I do.
Thanks Mike for single handedly making my extended stay this side of the Atlantic worthwhile!

So, I have been experimenting with my peanut butter and honey sandwiches some lately. It all started about two weeks ago when I wanted a sandwich but didn't have enough peanut butter to prepare the sandwich in my usual way. But first let me give you a history of me and peanut butter and honey sandwiches.
When I was very young, still living in Salt Lake City young, my mom would make me peanut butter and honey sandwiches for my lunches. I can't remember much about the details, but I do remember thinking the sandwich was at least 100 times better if my mom cut off the crusts for me.
I don't think I had a peanut butter and honey sandwich for a long time after that, or at least I can't remember having one. Then, sometime my sophomore or junior year of college, I saw Brittney having a peanut butter and honey sandwich (or if it wasn't Brittney, it has been forever cemented in my brain that it was her) in the CC dining hall (Rastall for you non-CC folk out there). But she wasn't making any ordinary peanut butter and honey sandwich. See she put the peanut butter on both pieces of bread and then put honey in between the peanut butter. It was a 5 layer sandwich as opposed to the normal 4. And boy did I think this was great. Really this couldn't have come at a better time, because I was getting tired of everything available to eat at Rastall. This sandwich became practically what I lived off of. It and bagels.
And this brings us to present day, or well, I guess this brings us to two weeks ago when I ran out of peanut butter before I had applied it to both sides of the sandwich. I couldn't have it my way! So, I grudgingly applied the honey straight to the other bread and was prepared for a less than mediocre and soggy 4 layer sandwich. But boy was I surprised! I loved it! The honey kind of crystalized in the bread so it was a little crunchy at parts. AND the honey didn't get everywhere! So, this was quite the surprising outcome! It completely destroyed my view of the world. All along I thought I knew the only way to make a peanut butter and honey sandwich. But apparently not.
So this last week I have been experimenting with different ways of making a peanut and butter and honey sandwich. There really aren't that many different ways of making a peanut butter and honey sandwich. As far as I can tell, there are 3. You can have peanut butter on both sides with honey in the middle (been there), peanut butter one one side and honey on the other (done that), and finally honey on both sides with peanut butter in the middle. So that is what I tried. And it was good but it wasn't spectacular.
But I was still in an adventurous mood, so I had peanut butter and honey... with jelly! And it wasn't very good.
So, to summarize, I love peanut butter and honey sandwiches!
P.S. When I first typed up this post, I mistyped the title as "More thoughts on Peter butter and honey sandwiches". Hmmm... Freudian slip? Do I want to cover Peter in honey and eat him? I think so.
