Stress

I should have really learned how to say "where is the closest bathroom in French before I went out today. 

     So, I just overdrew from my bank account. Just like I do every week back home. I forgot about this whole euro conversion when buying my plane ticket from France to Rome. And the whole "not getting loans thing" is stressing me out to the MAX.

Louvre at night

     On a lighter note, went to central Paris at night last night. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Going back to the Eiffel Tower at night tomorrow (?). It sparkles for 5 minutes on the hour during the night and I saw it at midnight from a distance last night and I think we're going to get some baguettes and cheese (France has good cheese), and go sit and watch it sparkle. You just wait for the video. It's going to be so incredibly awesome. We got harassed by creepy looking guys with crooked teeth. They wouldn't give up, they honestly thought we were going to agree to get in their car. I may be American, but that doesn't make me an idiot (In that sense anyways).

     I went out today to go to the Louvre while Alix had to go take her final exams. I got there.. forgot it was closed on Tuesday. So, I went to the Picasso Museum. Got there. Closed until 2012 for renovations. So I said fine, I'll go shopping. I'm so glad that I've gotten better at budgeting my money. I only use it in emergencies or if it's a justifiable purchase.

     I bought shoes.

Stairs on Montmarte

     It was a fashion emergency. And here's the justification- I've never found a pair of printed shoes that matched so many outfits at the same time. It would have been a complete and utter SIN, not to buy them. They were only 12 euro. So it's okay. Well, I also got a cute headband but that was only 2.95. I mean, it's really REALLY adorable. Yet, I keep getting harassed by ugly guys. It's not fair I say. I also saw Rue du Nicolas Flammel. Yeah, he lived in a house on that street I think. I couldn't find it. Another photo to add to my Harry Potter album. He was the creator of the Philosopher's stone you know!

     Dancing with the Stars finale tonight. I know Evan hasn't been dancing up to par lately but I still hope he wins. I'm really upset that I can't be watching it to see who wins. I'll just have to find out tomorrow. His Viennese Waltz last night was beautiful, no matter what the judges say.

     I keep eating so much bread and cheese. I lost weight in London and I feel like I'm putting it all back on here in Paris. Eek.

     And my new favorite thing to photograph: Empty stairs.
