Bonjour 2008… I heard someone mention not long ago… “oh I am glad 2007 is over. It was such a bad year!” Indeed? I had never thought about my years in general in this light. As the new year begins… was last year a good one, or bad one… or just a year?
Well, let me say that I am sure 2007 was “not my favorite year!” (that is what I taught my children to say instead of… ooh la la…I hate this dinner! or What is that??? They could kindly mention in passing that this was not their favorite. They still had to eat a little of it to be polite… but I would take note and not fix it for them again if possible) Ah ha! That was kind of off the thought trail… but what the heck… that is what French women are about! (at least this French woman!)
“french women with no make up are ugly until they open their mouths.”
i disagree: french women with no make-up are tres chic.
from the article: sans makeup s’ll vous plait:
“Too much makeup, French women say, makes a woman seem older, or even worse, as if she makes a living walking the streets.”
Well now… perhaps that is not such a disgraceful thing here in the USA? Do we not work at looking like we “walk the streets at night?” So… no problem there. Just cake on the makeup and get to work!
I will proceed on with my discussion of 2007 at another sitting! Au revoir!
