and here are the things I am currently worried about:
- Not being funny in France
- Not having enough reading material on the plane*
- Nic being frustrated with my incessant questions**
- Never in my life finding shoes that are comfortable AND attractive***
- Being the potato in the blog title****
*Nic and I have an ongoing argument about real books vs. e-readers. Nic, ever logical, argues that e-readers provide convenience and portability, not to mention expunging the fear of not having enough reading material on flights. BUT. They gots no soul.
**This fear is not specific to France.
***Is there some kind of conspiracy among the manufacturers of athletic shoes to make it a strong possibility that if you wear them, no one will ever sleep with you again, ever?
**** :(
Why are you worried about not being funny….. that’s odd???
You are going for a month! Crazy fun!
Or should I say…MALLARDeable…
-* I really think the “not being funny in France” should have an asterisk, so I put it in the negatives. It also happens to coincide with “not being specific to France.” Just something to mull over…maybe on the plane, when you’ve run out of reading material.
**bring one (really good smelling book) and put the others on an e-reader. THAT WAY, you can hold one in each hand and turn the pages of the real one for the smell while you virtually turn the pages of the other.
***have you tried Asics?? (Jokes aside–I guess–they have cool designs)
****potatoes are a base–an excellent base–for all things! Including duck! They are so malleable! And go with all condiments. BBQ sauce, ketchup, YELLOW MUSTARD.
*****Nic, I wish you luck.
