Bonjour!

Since I can't figure out the friggin' video blog thing, here's a picture from my webcam, with an added little feature. :-)

There are all kinds of cute little things you can put on top of or around a picture - it's so fun!!! Once you choose a feature, it will follow your head around so that it stays on you know matter what pose you're in. TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do happen to love France and anything that has to do with it. My favorite teacher of all time was my French teacher, Mrs. Barmann. Some kids were scared of her, but she was AMAZING, and I learned more from her in four years that I have ever learned from any other teacher combined, I'm pretty sure.

I got to go to France my Junior year of high school, and I'll never forget it. The coolest thing about being there was that we learned so much about it before we went, which is why we appreciated it so much more. We studied French-Impressionist art, important buildings, culture, and of course, the language. We even marched side-by-side into Notre Dame Cathedral on Easter Sunday just so we could get the BEST seats. Keep in mind that Madame's foot was in a brace the whole time - it didn't even phase her.

My good, good friend Michael Brown tried to import about 50 mini Eiffel Towers back to the U.S., and about got arrested by customs because they looked so suspicious going through security. If you knew Michael Brown, however, you would not be surprised by this.

I wish I remembered more French - I would love to say I spoke fluently, but alas, I remember little.

Maybe someday I'll have the opportunity to go back there and brush up on my French. For now, enjoy my chic beret.....

AU BIENTOT!!! (that's HOLLA in French. :-))
