I apologize

Seeing as how no one reads my blog anyways, this probably won't affect many people, but I was planning on keeping my blog up to date with my travels, but I am always so tired and I don't want to write a big long story about what I did that day. But fortunately Alexis does. So I will write some stuff, but for the best review of our adventures, go to her blog which is HERE. 

I love Europe!

A Free Cookie

Man at the cafe: (something in German)

Me: No Deutsch

Man at the cafe: English then? 

Me: Yes. English.

Man: Sorry, I don't speak English

Me: Well for some reason, I can understand you perfectly!

Man: Maybe French? 

(the rest of the conversation is in French)

Me: I speak French.

Man: Really? Well we'll talk in French. What would you like? 

Me: I would like that cookie, please.

Man: that's everything?

Me: Yup!

(man puts it in a bag, and I offer a euro)

Man: No, it's ok. 

Me: Really?!

Man: Yes. Take it.

Me: You are so nice! Thank you, monsieur! 

Man: Have a good day!

Me: Thank you!

I love Germany. 

I love Paris in the spring time...

I love Paris in the fall, I love Paris in the winter, when it drizzles; I love Paris in the summer, When it sizzles. (and apparently it drizzles, too)

I'm in Paris!!!! It's been fantastic! So far we have: 

• Seen 6,000,000 people's dead bones
• Walked so far my legs feel like jelly
• Slept for 15 hours
• Seen and gone up to the top of the Eiffel Tower
• Slept on the Metro (at least I have...)
• Been hit on by the security guards (at least I have...)
• Ate a REAL baguette sandwich jamon et fromage s'il vous pait!

And we've done tons more things but now, I must go to sleep.

children and airplanes

Observation: 

Children LOVE airplanes right? When they see one, they point and yell, "airplane, airplane!!" and it's a big deal, right? 

Why then, while on an airplane, they detest it beyond belief. They whine, cry, yell, kick the seat in front of them, etc. 

And yet they claim to love airplanes...

Denied

In preparation for our Europe Extravaganza, Alexis and I went to get our legs waxed today.

Lady: Ok... unfortunately, we are not going to be able to shave your legs because your hair isn't long enough. Sorry!

Me:Oh no! That's Ok... we weren't sure how long they had to be...

Lady: Yeah. they have to be about as long as your pinky nail in order for it to work. When was the last time you shaved? This looks like a couple of days...

Me: It's like two weeks...

Are you serious?! I have had hairy legs for two weeks for nothing! And my leg hair has to be as long as my pinky nail? Gross.

So then we left, dejected and forlorn.

But now I'm thinking I will just go all natural. I don't want to be bothering with shaving my legs every day. If there are any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I just was on Facebook...

And noticed that a LOT of my friends are married and/or pregnant. Good luck and I'll see you when I get back from 5 weeks in Europe :)

Fourth of July

I know this is a little late, but it's so funny. I had to put it up. Make sure you watch the slow-motion background images.
