Au Revoir, Poisson!
Still up to our earlobes in wedding planning. All good, and I'm trying not to get overwhelmed by it. Aside from a fantastic wedding and, you know, being married, the reward for all these months of stress? The honeymoon!
We're going to France!
I'm super-duper excited. The plan is Paris and Nice, with a day trip to Giverny for sure, and maybe another to Monaco. Neither of us has ever been to France. Neither of us speaks French!
Our solution? Rosetta Stone. So far, it's very good. We've just gotten through the first lesson, which is made up of a bunch of smaller lesson-ettes.
I know about fifteen words: eat, drink, cook, run, walk, drive, swim, read, write, boy, girl, man, woman, cat, dog, horse, fish. (Okay, that's 17. Doing better than I thought!!)
Using my newly acquired language skills (and some mediocre digital painting skills), I made my Very Own French Comic. (Please excuse any grammar or spelling errors... like I said, we only completed Lesson One...)
Steve and I have been walking around for the last several days, randomly saying "Le poisson nage." "Le poisson ne nage pas!"
I know you're jealous of how cool we are.
