Shopping and Restuarants!!!!!

the day after we arrived we went shopping and I gots all kinds of new clothes. I was very happy! I got like $100 worth of stuff for like $32:94. it was so totally rad!! Then we went back to the same store the day after and i tried on like 30 other shirts, but I only bought 1. I love shopping over here. they have such awesome sales.We also went shopping yesterday and I got 3 pairs of earrings, and 2 movies. One of those movies was Love Comes Softly 3. They had the 4 too, but I am gonna wait till the price drops to buy it. You people back home in France would never believe all the food that they serve in Restuarants! There is tons of it! Josh at a whole 1lb lobster plus the stuffing and potatoes at this really neat restuarant called the chwoder pot4. I learned how to eat a lobster, but since I don't eat lobster, it wasn't very helpful. Then we ate at an all you can eat buffet last night. It was really awesome! I don't think that I am gonna do that again soon. There's just too much food over here!!!

Flying out of charles du Gaulle

I hate flying. wait, that is an understatement. i abhor flying. If man were meant to fly, God would have given him wings, just like Archemedes in the sword and the stone says. Any way, our flight was scheduled to leave at 10:40 a.m. We had to be there 3 hours early to go through airport security for which everyone is thankful(the security, not the 3 hours early). We got up at like 5:30 in the morning. For those of you who know me well, you will know that I hated that! I hate the morning!I am getting off track though! Anyway, we some how managed to get there 4 hours ahead of time. We got our luggage checked in in record time, and even though our baggages were over the regulated rate they still didn't charge us any thing extra. Thank you nice airport lady!After we ate a quick breakfast at the airport Mcdonalds. They had really good Egg Mcmufins! Then we went through the metal detector, and I didn't beep, even though I had braces! I was very happy about that! Cuz if you beep they frisk you, and I hate that! Good grief I'm starting to sound like Slimane! Unfortunately, my carryon bags with all my books and all my movies beeped and had to be opened and emptied for the security guards. that was annoying. you'll never believe why I beeped though. I had 3 rolls of wheat pennies in the very bottom of my bag. What a pain! There were books all over the place! When we got to the other side, my dad went to buy some chocolate at the duty free stores, and I watched the bags. then it was my turn to go. i got a comic book to read during the flight. It was a Mickey Parade. I am going to give it to John on wednesday. Well we got on the plane , and the stewardess was a real grump. She should have been fired! There were really no good movies during the flight, so I read my book, Kansas Brides. We arrived at JFK about 40 minutes ahead of time due to some tailwinds. It took forever for all of our baggage to get off the conveyor belt. we were able to catch an earluer bus to New Haven, and we arrived at my granparents house about 2 and a half hours before we were scheduled to. We ate delicious American pizza! I was so happy to see my mom and Johnny. Johnny has been making everyone listen to a country western cdfor the past 2 months and he sings like all 14 songs everytime we get in the car to go somewhere.It is so funny!
He goes" I wish I was, a teddy bear not livin or luvin or goin away! I wish I was a teddy bear, and i'm a wishin that I hadn't fallin in luv with youuuu". He is so cute. I was very tired at the end of that day, and I still have a little jet lag. Not cool.

Last Club Ado

Beefore flying to Connecticut , I went to my last club ado. it was very sad. They had decorated the room with little posters saying things like Graci we love you and stuff like that. it was really really sweet of them but it was really depressing. They all piched in together and got me and awesome amber necklace to match the bracelet that i got for Christmas. Jeremie and hien had to make dinner for the rest of us(long story, don't ask) , and i had to admit that I was a little nervous about eating their cooking. Jeremie got his Mom to cook for him so that was good( the food that it is) and Hien made a chocolate cake. It was yummy. It was really sad though. i kept tearing up and I almost choked on something. i can't remmeber what. Hope gave me a glass of soda and then I quit choking. Anyway, it was a sad but fun night. I don't have any pictures of this but when I get them from Jonathan I will put them up.

Christmas with the Rossinottis

hey everybody! Sorry that I haven't "blogged" in such a long time. So to give you a quick update I will probably end up writing like 5 or 6 articles . So much has happened in 2 months. I wanted tio put up some pictures of our Christmas with the Rossinottis, but, I don't have the Usb key with all the pictures on it with me. So i'll come back later and put the pictures on when I can. You'll just have to be patient! so josh, Dad, and me went to Jonathan and Prunelle's house for Christmas, cuz my mom and Johnny went to go see my Granparents in the small but great state of Connecticut. I'll write more about that later.So anyway, Prune made this fantastic dinner out of a chapon, which is a neutered chicken. They all ate a large quantity of oysters, but I just couldn't bring myself to eat one. they just look like big balls of flem. Very gross. Then we ate a really yummy , yummy ice cream log. it was delish. Then we all exchanged gifts, and i got a statue from hope, some chocolate, a bracelet, and a necklace. It was a really really fun night.
