Last Thursday, Catie and I went to the cinema to see my new love. Josh Duhamel in 'Bebe Mode D'Emploi' (or 'Life As We Know It' in English cinemas). Omigosh - so amazing. And the great thing with French cinemas (or really, any cinema other than in England), is that people are QUIET! People go to the cinema to WATCH films - not to sit down, have popcorn fights and chat for 2 hours in a dark room. Even our Canadian friends were shocked at the tales of English cinemas! So anyway, we were able to drool over Josh Duhamel in a quiet, calm and very comfy and warm cinema.
And then today I went back for another Duhamel drooling-session (lol) and also to keep out of the house for today. It was just as good second time round, and I cried again in the Coca-Cola advert. IT IS sad!!!
I guess it was all just as well, as during my shopping spree I found a dress I've been searching for AGES, but has been a total sell-out in Paris, so I am absolutely delighted about that. And also a top to go with these Topshop trousers I bought ages ago but never wore because I had no top... And now they are majorly 'in', so Perfect timing! And to top it off, I returned home to a bomb-site. I guess I would have gone insane had I had to sit there the whole day slowly watching the house turn into a zoo ground.
Christmas. Is here. Today.
I came down this morning, to what looked like Christmas Morning. From nowhere, the living area had been turned overnight into Santa's Grotto. Seriously, there were presents EVERYWHERE. I wish I'd got a photo. It looked extremely impressive! There were presents taller and bigger than the Christmas tree, all beautifully wrapped. It was incredible. And the girls got to open them all today. Because as Marie told me, they'll get even more on Christmas Day. In Switzerland. On their Skiing holiday. In their Chalet. At Christmas. MORE PRESENTS! And this was only the living space! The kitchen had magically turned into a zoo of... dead things: an ENTIRE salmon fish, Oysters (which looked absolutely revolting - shells of phlegm...), chicken, Panetone, a percussion array of Baguettes, SO much chocolate, and about 4 pumpkins.
So my job tomorrow? TIDYING. I've planned to whack my iPod on some loud speakers with some super-cool dance tunes, and have a mad cleaning session with bin-bags and the hoover. I'm actually really looking forward to having an empty house, and to be able to get through all the crap! There is litter and paper and plastic bagging and cake crumbs EVERYWHERE. *I'm really excited!* ANDDDD there'll also be before and after pictures. Aren't YOU excited?!
Also, just to add: this is my 100th post. :D
