I've spent a lot of it lately. I bought that green blazer jacket I wanted, and I think I will be very happy with it. I also bought a cute little feathery headband from H&M that didn't cost a lot. I will probably buy one for Heidi as well and have it be part of her Christmas present. Maybe I'll buy several and they can be part of the uniform for the ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning, I went shopping at Zara and made the decision to buy a beautiful green jacket that will be very multi-functional. It's expensive, but good quality, and will go with lots of things I have at home (I probably won't wear it much here). I haven't bought it yet, but I probably will on Monday. It's a huge deal for me to buy anything ( Read more... )

I had received an invitation from my Deauville grandparents to go stay with them from Saturday to Sunday. On Saturday night we were to go to a party where I would meet members of the Jumelage de Deauville (twinning committee between Lexington and Deauville), and on Sunday we'd have breakfast and dinner together.

Yesterday I felt woozy all day long, and so I took the entire afternoon to sleep. I gave Kylie some money to buy me a dinner because walking put too much pressure on my head-isn’t that pathetic? Who knew that a broken nose and a bump on the head would make walking difficult? I had a delicious dinner of kebab sandwich, Coca Cola, and no preservative ( Read more... )

Some of you may have heard that I got to experience French healthcare first hand! It's true, it's true. My friend, Erin Risch, whom some of you may know, is studying in Paris currently and she came to stay with me. On her last night here, I took some NyQuil to alleviate the symptoms of a cold that was hindering my sleep. Something, whether it was a ( Read more... )
