December 17th


Mondays that start at noon, finally my dream has been realized! Honestly I'm not big on having Monday morning lunches at the university cafeteria due to the fact that French cuisine isn't exactly brunch-like. Plus I rarely enjoy anything they serve there. Twice I've asked for just salad and the chef looked at me as though I were on acid. Dude I just need my veggies, don't make me feel guilty for not wanting the salted mystery meat, probably rabbit, mixture. So topsy-turny. Today I actually did have a salad, but it was more than just lettuce. An all lettuce salad is something I call a turtle salad. See turtles, not a pun, like to eat just lettuce and an all lettuce salad is well, all lettuce. So it is something that a turtle would eat. It made sense when I was twelve audience, habits rarely die with me. I enjoyed my non-turtle salad with Paula at Espace Coty the local Le Havre mall. Paula and I had eaten at this cafe before and had enjoyed their salads. Thus we did a repeat today, it kicked ass. Kate met up later, about an hour actually, and the three of us sat down for some after lunch munch. Salads never freakin' fill! Unless they're spinach, drool. Right then, our after lunch snack session...it was delicious because for Paula and me it was sweet crepes. Kate actually ate lunch, again she had a salad, but Paula and I wanted more sugary sustenance. White chocolate crepes are possibly one of the most satisfying desserts known to the world, or at least to MareBear. After food, yes the food was finished, we window shopped for a bit, really not that long. Kate and Paula had to go, so sad for me, but I was able to stay and shop in the mall, so sweet for me. I needed to finish my Christmas shopping and did so rather efficiently. I found a lil something for both Paula and Kate, fingers crossed that their gifts agree with them, and also a few accessories for my boys back home otherwise known as Pete, Brian, and Timmy. I enjoy spreading the love of the holiday season and this year the love was hard to find! Well for the boys anyways. Normally I grab some suited gifts from Spencer's, belt-buckles and shot glasses are popular, but France has no store equivalent to Spencer's. Disappointing. For those of you who aren't familiar with Spencer's, it is one of the most crude and enjoyable gift stores in the States. They sell everything from Ninja Turtle wallets to anime blow-up dolls. Classy for sure. It is the perfect place to find gifts for the American male sex. This year I was without my golden ticket and had to actually browse random shops. I did win in the end though, the gifts were found and bought. I'm still recovering from my lung illness, I believe it has moved into my sinuses, thus I returned home after a long mall day. M-O-N D-A-Y R-O-C-K-S*, only this one time.
