I think everybody had something to do last night in France! It hurt my feelings a little, because nobody bothered to invite me to go anywhere! That’s fine…I had plenty to do on my own. I mean, I could have indulged myself with a tour of France. I could have treated myself to a fancy French dinner. I could have dived right into that new French romance I have been dying to read. I could have picked up my French cousins and spent the night babysitting…well, no-I haven’t lost my mind yet. I would have rather done a million different things anyway. Besides, my French friends probably didn’t think to ask me to go anywhere because I am so popular they probably assumed I was busy…right? Well, I got some good practice on my video games so when they do show up I will be ready for a revenge match!

Now, I have had to push a few French people around…and believe me-that blood will wash out. Sometimes women have to be a bit nasty to get what they want! But you would have done the same thing if you had seen that adorable French sweater that was on sale for twenty-five percent off!
