Ah, spring, when a young woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of shopping.
Despite the fact that horrible retro-80s trash is trendy here at the moment, there are still stores full of stuff that I want to buy. I am so thrilled that spring is here that I want to buy things in pink and white and yellow and lime green and every bright color I see. I want a whole new wardrobe, with shoes and purses and accessories and everything. But I will persevere. I will not buy anything, except maybe a shirt or two if I can find some good sales, because I am going to Spain soon and do not need to spend money on frivolous things like really cute skirts and lacy camisoles and lip gloss and this one pink shirt I really wanted. I will be good.
To distract myself from shopping, here's another episode of
Fun With French
(the social occasion edition)
ivre - adj. drunk
s'enivrer - verb to get drunk
avoir la gueule de bois - to have a hangover (literally to have wooden jaws)
