L'échappe

I had to échapper from the apartment. I played a ridiculous card game with Kenza, which she created, and it was so freaking stupid - the way any 6-year-old card game would be, only it was worse because she mumbles in French, and no matter how many times I ask her to repeat herself, I still don't understand!

After the card fiasco, we ate dinner - early tonight. Lynda made crèpes which were delicious. They had grilled vegetables inside of them with grilled eggs and some soft white cheese. For dessert we had Nutella crèpes. I really enjoy crèpes - they're such a versatile food. Besides fruit, which, along with water, is God's candy, is there another food you can eat as part of a main course and as dessert? I can't think of one at the moment.

After dinner, Kenza of course wanted to play cards again. We did for a bit, then I think she could tell I was annoyed, so she brought a different game. This one I liked much better. I'm sure the children's game Guess Who? rings a bell with most of you... Well en français it's Qui Est-ce? so Kenza and I played Guess Who? in French for a while, then I couldn't take it anymore, so I told her I was going to take a shower and go to the internet café. She just wouldn't leave me alone! Then she started in with the 500 questions that kids just tend to ask all the time. I finally escaped. I'm hoping she'll be in bed by the time I return.

So, I remembered some things that I meant to say earlier. First, at the mall today I found a Nalgene water bottle at a sports store!!! It's different from the one I had, but it's a Nalgene nonetheless. It also happened to be the first water bottle of any kind I've seen at any stores - believe me, I've been looking.

I've been listening to my iPod a lot lately - I almost always just have it on random. Today 'Roxanne' came on and perpetuated my manque des états. It really made me want to be at home, at Elsa's with Snyder and some Bad Juans playing Roxanne. Most of you are familiar with the game, I trust :)

So anyway, nothing really important, I just wanted to get away from the apartment and discuss my longing to be in the States with tous mes amis right now. I really miss all you guys, can't wait until August! Grands Bisous!

MELB-
I know what you mean about wanting to be around the familiar, and wanting to be home, but believe me when I say that 10 years from now you will want to go back and may not be able to. Enjoy the whole trip, and soak it in. Live it up and don't think about what's going on back home. It will be the same when you get back.
