French Fetish?
I think it's time to confess about my French Fetish...
I don't know why, but I know it started when I was given an English-French dictionary in 7th grade...
Then Freshman year came along, and I met Sophie... a fresh-off-the-plane French girl who ended up being my roommate for 2+ years...
Then there were the movies: French Kiss, Sabrina, Le Divorce...
Then I moved to Spain and took an overnight train ride to Paris and it's been downhill ever since.
I always thought I decorated my apartment in a European way... I have pictures of places I've traveled to in Spain and France, but I guess I have more French stuff than I realized.
2 Eiffel Tower clocks (a big one at home and a mini one at work), 2 iron tower mini replicas, bookends of the Eiffel Tower, a candle holder with monuments of Paris...
A sign hanging over the bathroom labeling it "Toilette", a sign in my kitchen saying, "Cafe", trivets depicting french store fronts...
My christmas tree has 2 Eiffel Tower decorations...
I can even say a few words in French thanks to my last visit there!
So I had to laugh last night- surrounded by my French decorations, pouring French wine, and speaking french to my guests- when Eric's friend, Ollie (a true Frenchman) told me, "So... you have a French Fetish!"
I guess I do!
C'est la vie!
