Update

Bonjour Blogworld

I'm making progress at French class. I bet you're glad for me.

It's preoccupying me, taking tons of time and energy and I'm really trying to do well at it. Does anyone want to correspond with me en français? If so, I'm at nosyparker9@yahoo.com

What else can I tell you.

Because of French class, I don't have much time left with The Man. He's pretty busy anyway and just doesn't have much time available, so it's probably just as well.

The Olympics are over. Did I mention that we won at hockey? Women's and Men's? Yes, I thought I had.

I'm thinking of getting a new phone. Everyone in the world has a smartphone except me. Maybe it's time.

I've finished a big work project. I've hired a cleaning lady. I haven't been to the gym in ages. It's time to go. I know.

I'm not sure what else to tell. I've scaled back on volunteer activities and actually said no to a couple of requests. I think the requestors were surprised. I was sort of surprised by myself.

What else should I write about? Write me and give me some advice, ask questions, or be provocative and annoying so I write back. Inspire me!

  1. Congrats on making progress in your French class! i have finals this week in my 3 classes so i'm debating on whether to cry now and panic later or panic now and cry later. Congrats on the hockey wins, but really? isn't that expected? My stepmom doesn't have a smartphone and neither does my BFF's hubby so there are at least two other people besides you. But i agree it is time, come join the rest of us in this century. It's nice here!

    Fresh out of advice, questions, and provocativeness this week. How am i doing on annoying? lol

  2. I never took French (but I did study Spanish, Portuguese and a bit of Italian!) but I love to hear it spoken hmmmm. Inspiration for you? How about another question for Doms? I always live reading my Masters' answers. :)

    1. My Dom read this and asked me why I had stopped the Dom Questions, I said that it was because he had stopped answering them. He wasn't very impressed. Stay tuned.

  3. I really need to get on with the French, I got a place in France last summer and I really need to. I am 'meant' to be learning online but haven't quite got round to it in months. You seem to be doing loads of things; anything you write about is worth reading in my opinion.

  6. congrats on the new language! I am trying to learn Dutch here, wish me luck!
    When I went to Canada (Old Montreal) I did very well, the little French I learned in High School helped me a lot (20+ years later)
    wish you lived closer, i need a gym buddy for motivation!

    LMAO at nilla's comment!
    open invitation

  8. i'm trying to learn Spanish, which i really, really need to do since my granddaughter is starting life bilingual. But i took French all though school, and wish i could do that instead. Parceque je parle un peu.

    Also LOL at 'nilla comment - and your response! Too funny.

    i'm glad you're posting, i've have been enjoying it. Don't have any suggestions for topics - can't even write my own blog, much less yours... sorry. :-) Maybe we should collaborate on how to write when there's nothing to say...

    And i didn't answer your Dom question cause my Dom never answered. It was a fun idea though.
