And off we go back to Paris!!!

This is my gorgeous picture of Aurore Jurie-Joly's house!! Ain't it a beauty???

This message is just to say that I am disappearing to Paris for 8 days and I will blog again and send pictures again when I return and hopefully have some interesting stories. Today I went to the train station in Avignon to get some stuff sorted out for my train pass for school and I went shopping with Alix and Sylvie (mom) and took the pictures for the train pass and bought some stuff for Paris, then I packed my bag and spent the whole day outside with the chickens and my book, which was hard to read because the cats spend the whole day grooming each other on my lap yaaaaaaaaaaaaay. So, in one hour I will meet Sarah (Philippe's daughter who is 21 or 22) and we will drive through the night to Paris which is about a 10 hour drive or something like that. We are stayiing at Delphine's house (Sylvie's daughter who is 21 or 22) and we have lots of fun movies picked out for the roadtrip (all aurore's choice~all MUST SEE tearjerkers)

A La Prochaine,

Gros Bisous!!!!

My First Meal

So the day was pretty busy, got off to a rocky start though when my room missed the hotel wake up call, breakfast and leisurely shower time. Anyhow, tonight, my first dinner was insane, it consisted of crazy conversations about everything, Paris, belgium friends, disneyland in paris and how to properly say "shut up your fucking mouth" or "bloody" and it was craaaaazy. The meal was yummy cooked tomatoes with stuff on them, salad, yummy cheese and yummy apples and fish. All of it delish!!!
In the time since I last blogged I met lots of friends, random people, heard plans, gone to the trainstation for photos and been sent home when it was out of order .........AND met Alix who is a charming, funny, very different than Aurore child and I honestly am highly amused.....by EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! (except for this goddamn crooked keyboard but if thats my biggest worry ill live)
Tomorrow at seven pm we are picking Sarah 'the older sister' at the Avignon trainstation and driving overnight to Paris. We have a dvd player in the car and I have been told that seeing Pearl Harbour is an absolute necessity. For the next eight days I will be in a nice Parisian apartment (belonging to Delphine the other sister) with what is said to be atleast 10 people and according to Aurore, there is a suprise on Sunday or Saturday I still cannot for the life of me get my dates right.
Alrighty then........enjoy my record two blogs in less than 12 hours and have fun freezing in Canada. My love to all and goodnight. :D

Jane Finds A Minute To Spare

So, Paris went off without any problems and even though I was insanely tired I had a lot of fun with all the crazy Canadians who shared my flight! Between Alex (a cookoo but really fun travel novice), Noah ( map crazy resident "fun guy") Tatum, Tara, Madysin and Madeleine I had hardly a minute to miss any of you, ain't that the truth......

I am here in chickenland (aka Aurore's house) and so far I have seen the pool, the insanely big back yard, looked at Avignon and Cavaillon briefly, taken a house tour (their house is the most amazing, quaint home you'll ever see!!!), seen my room, looked at animals, watched the chickens lay eggs and been forced fed food (in the best possible way- whose complaining???) by a very loud, funny, exuberant father. -while Aurore stood on rolling her eyes and interrupting every now and then to say papaaaaaaaa!!!

Short story?? I'm good and happy and not sad and tomorrow I'm heading right back to Paris to spend a week there before one day in Montpellier and then school. Turns out crazy Alex from the plane lives near me and is in my class at Lycée and honestly???? Feels a little like second times the charm. Cross your fingers!!

Last Minute Details & Tears

SSPFSP - YAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

So, the last "weekend" is upon me and I actually cried this morning (a homage to Emma), just a little because I would miss my friends. I am being bombarded with last minute details when I'd really rather be on the plane or be hanging with Emma, Alisa and Kate at their "slumber day party" (??) Unfortunately, I need to do loads of crap and must leave you, but first....

EMMA ~ try not to cry to hard (jks jks) I'll miss you so much, ESPECIALLY your love life and I look forward to hearing oodles and oodles of van virgin stories and JK stories, so please, don't hide anything!!! Enjoy having Katie all to yourself because when I get back SHE'S MINE!!!

KATE ~ What can I say??? You're the best!!! I'm going to miss you so much, but get ready, cause when I come back, I'm gonna kick your ass at soccer~!!! Just joking, but I will provide stellar dee!!! (thats how i'm writing the shortform for defence) I'm gonna miss your quirkiness!!

INGRID ~ Between prepping for the SSPFSP, talking nonstop, sitting in the bathtub, watching your year of bfs (you and emma...tsk tsk, make up your minds!!-i guess you did!) and listening to you go hyper on us, my life will seriously be quieter in France (I guess I'll appreciate the noise all the more when I come home!) and seriously, don't worry about Jeremiah Vladdick something something gerster-gluzmann-martin-ness....he'll be just fine, he grows well and he kicks like a.....the word eludes me.

ALISA ~ the "newbie" - as lame as this might sound, I'll miss you so much because everyone will be getting to know you and I've only just started...shucks..Anyhow....have fun, happy sweet sixteen (i shall never stop saying that!!) and take care of Emma and Kate. See you in three with loads of French goodies and pressies

EVERYONE ELSE ....alas, my hand is getting tired of typing, but I shall severely miss all of you as well!!!! And I look forward (déja) to seeing you all in three months!!!

adieu.
