1. I wish immigration didn't take so long. :(
2. I am SICK OF PARIS!!
3. All these blasts from the past this year-Baby Jessica is back, new things about Princess Di. I still remember back in 1997 right when I arrived in Madrid at my host family's house, the first time I saw my host mom she was watching her funeral. Later that fall I went to Paris and flowers were still fresh (put there by mourners) at the place where she died.
4. Yesterday at the French Open, the tennis players could speak multiple languages. Of course they could-they are not from the US. Nadal knows Spanish, English, and probably others; "Guga" (Kuerten) knows French, English, Portuguese, and probably Spanish; Federer speaks French, English, German, and probably others. *sigh* Why can't we all be like them?? Even the commentators (McEnroe, Carillo, and the other guy who I can never remember) said it puts Americans to shame. DUH.
5. This morning I had a little panic attack-I woke up and my boncuk necklace from Turkiye was missing from my neck. I said OH NO what if I lost it in the pool, while playing kickball yesterday, or somewhere else ...... After investigating, I saw the chain on the strap of my PJs, but the charm was nowhere in sight. Then I panicked less because I knew the charm had to be in my apt. somewhere. I tore off all the blankets and shook them, looked under the couch cushions, on the table, then finally in my gym bag. Phew-I heard the "tink" and the charm fell out. Relief!!!!!!!!! I would have cried!! I guess it got there by falling into the bag as I was getting something out of my purse this morning.

Ok, funny story for you. Our priest's son lived in Japan for 7 years and married a girl there. So when he moved back here, he brought his wife and 2 sons (5 and 7 years old). Jason likes to try out his Japanese on them.
Anyway, they go to a Montessori school where they are learning English, plus Spanish, French, Latin and Russian. And the one kid was telling us how to say dog in all those languages. And he says, "It's 'dog" in American." Jason says, "you know, it's called English." And the kid says, "I know. But I call it American."
