Happy Birthday to ME!

Did you know that food is expensive? Really, really expensive. Sometimes I look at my plate and think "Whelp. That was about 5 euros. Awesome."

Moving on, I think I'm heading to London for Toussaint. How marvelous right? I plan on seeing many Harry Potter sights, trying to find Diagon Alley and possibly dueling someone. I just need to get my hands on a wand! Okay, I know there is more in England to see than HP stuff, but siriusly (as in Sirius Black) is there really? I'll let you know what I find.

I was invited to go to a prison next week that held the king of France. I don't know what prison, or which king but Mme. Raffard (whom I love!) said it is beautiful. I'm so there!

I was also invited to go ice skating with one of my classes on January 6th. I am a terrible ice skater, but I'm open to trying it out!

I have noticed that people are such freakers about making the metro/train/bus. I get it, everyone is in a hurry. But I'd rather not risk life and quite possibly limb so I can catch the train instead of waiting 5 minutes for the next one. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people get stuck in the doors as the train is about to leave. Hello. It's not worth it.

In other news, Halloween is in less than 2 weeks!!! Who is excited?! I am! Exclamation points!!

Also, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

MC made this for my birthday dinner. I'm not quite positive what it was, but it was delish.

My birthday pie!

MC gave me these little birds for my birthday. They have since been named Fred and George Weasley {from Harry Potter}

I know this looks a little creepy, maybe because it is. But this is Marie-Claude gardening in her fur vest and I couldn't help snapping a photo of it! She's adorable!

This isn't an awesome picture, but it was such a beautiful sunset I just had to share it!
