"Life's not a spectator sport. If watchin' is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without ya."



So it's still raining.  But that's , I went into town anyway =)  I went shopping, but didn't find anything super amazing that fit me, too.  I will probably go back tomorrow to check out the other stores.  This is the month to shop, since all sales go away in February.  And I really do NEED to shop.  I realized this morning that I only have 4 days worth of clothing if I want to be warm and wear long sleeves.  So I hope I can find something warm and cute that fits =) 

Doing laundry by hand in an itty bitty sink sucks.  Reason number two why I want to go shopping.  I don't have the proper coins in order to do my laundry, and it's super expensive to do laundry so I don't really want to do it every 4 days when I run out of clothes.  Which left me hunching over the sink washing sweaters and then using my bath towel to dry them partially so I can hang them up in various corners of my room without turning my room into a giant lake.  Only thing is, now my bath towel's soaked...so my hair's definitely not going to get dry tonight!  Haha oh well =)

I smelled a bunch of perfumes today.  Some of them were really nice.  Others...well, let's just say no one says it better than Flynn Rider: "You smell that? It's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell, but overall it just smells like the color brown."  Two quotes in one day, craziness!!  =)  Weird fact about France: the only place to find an actual perfume shop is Paris.  Seriously, you'd think they'd be everywhere, or at least if not everywhere, then in cities like Bordeaux.  But they're not.  Guess that means I have to go to Paris in a month or two!

I found a store today that puts every Super Walmart ever invented to shame.  It's called E. Leclerc, and it's amazing.  It has everything you could ever want and more.  It even has chips, salsa, and tortillas!!  I can make fajitas and burritos!!  And it has pastries...which means I definitely ate another eclair today =)  

I ran into some American Mormon guys on the bus ride back to the university.  I really wanted to go up to them and just say "So where are you from?" just to startle them a little.   I mean, what are the chances that while you're on your mission trip, some random American teenager will be on the same bus as you when you're in Limoges?  But, I decided to save face and not act like an obnoxious American, especially since today was stupid-American-moment-free!!  Haha that's a first for me =)
