A Bientot!!!
A day without a blog from Jane??? NEVER!!! Atleast, not until I start school on Monday and get home late and leave early and have absolutely no energy. But for now, absolutely. This is just a quick hello and update. Today Aurore and I made peanut butter cookies, played soccer, played cards, ate lunch with friends and went to see Contre-Enquete a really good French thriller that if it ever comes to Canada everybody must see!!!! Absolutely amazing, the theatre was so quaint and adorable and I felt like I had been taken back several centuries....ahhh, the cookies turned out great despite the fact they lacked baking soda, salt and the vanilla wasn't liquid vanilla but little flakes and the brown sugar was weird and everybody liked them and was like, oooooh pb!! It made me laugh and after eating lots I made myself stop because there are already enough tempting French goodies. At the moment I am slightly nervous but very excited because I am leaving for my first soccer practice with my new team in two minutes, quite literally, and it is the first time in France that I'll have done something brand new without Aurore or any other Jurie-Joly's support and that's very weird but also very nice. So, I leave you now with the promise that once I find my camera I will show you pictures of all the animals and tell you all about the merangues Philippe is makign and the crazy friends and family that are coming tomorrow 30 PEOPLE!!! oh la la!!! -Philippe's favourite saying and all about SOCCER!!! or football, yahhhh I already saw the stadium and it's for horse races too and it's absolutely gorgeous and I guess that's the upside of being in a country obsessed with soccer. Anyhoooo, school starts Monday and guess who's excited?????

Death Day
Today we killed chickens. And the guinea fowl. I'll attach all the disgustingly fascinating pictures in an album and only put up one here to save your stomachs.

You are all very blessed and very lucky to have such a nice ___ (fill in the blank with the appropriate) to constantly keep you updated as I do
I realize it might seem like I spend more time on the computer than I actually do in France but I beg to differ. I am just exceedingly good at finding little moments, like now, to sit down and tell you about whats going on. Also, it helps me to make sure that not a single itty bitty detail gets lost en route. Or in translation. For the last hour I have been helping Sylvie set the table, make pie crust and cook our quiche for dinner and in walks Philippe and I ask him about this recipe I want and he says its very hard but he'll make it with me and then I'll write it down as we go and then he says that if I have such a keen interest in cooking he's going to teach me and truthfully? Philippe is an excellent excellent excellent cook and he's taken such an interest now that I've taken an interest in his hobby and for the last hour he's been teaching me how to make homeade mayonnaise and telling me about all the things we're going to cook and that I'm going to try..... he loves me!!! (or rather he loves that I eat whatever he gives me except for olives and corn!!) And then he showed me his two extra kitchens and went on and on and on until I was rolling my eyes and he was laughing and I have to say that I am having almost as many low moments as last time but what makes it all bearable is that at the end of the day I have had more good moments than bad, I feel alright and my low moments passed quickly and I can always find something in the very near future to bring my spirits back up.
Love you all and until tomorrow then!!!
