5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Well, golly gee. Another week has gone by. That was awful fast, wouldn't you agree?

I started French I a few days ago! I can now say Je suis m'appelle Caroline! Je suis de America. Which means "My name is Caroline. I'm from America. :D But I can also ask you what time it is: Quelle heure est-il? And even courteously answer myself: Il est trois heures. And then I can thank myself. But I think most people can thank in French. Merci.

On a more randomish note, "thank" is a very odd word. Once you say it a few times.

I don't really know that French is a terribly sensible language to learn - I'm sure most people would have told me to take Spanish, but I don't particularly like Spanish and my only other choices were French and Latin. Having already taken some Latin and knowing how hard it can really and truly be, I sort of... opted for French. *shrug* Who knows, maybe there is some great reason for learning French that I will some day appreciate. Such as accidentally becoming stranded in Paris. Or something. I really want to learn Japanese, not a romantic language. But I suppose Japanese is even less practical than French.

Regardless. I rather feel like a proper young lady from the days of old...


The daffodils are blooming. How sweet are these? I love them, they are miniature, wildish daffodils.



This is Pepper. She's silly.


The Bradford pears are budding! :D That is exciting.



And yay for Netflix. Despite the fact that we finished the first two seasons of Heroes (the second season really fuh-lopped) and now are at a bit of a loss. Well, sort of. :D We always find something. If you have suggestions, though, do share!

I have more pics to post... I will get to this later?

Au revoir!

Yikes! 10 days have gone by since the awesome Henry & the Naked Legs photograph!

Since then, not much has really happened, except that:

1. I got hooked on Heroes, the show.
2. Mother and I lapped up most of the first season already!
3. I finished one sock.
4. Watched the new "Room With a View," which was absolutely dreadful.
5. Finished the second sock! Whooooohooo!
6. Got to babysit Patat's fantastic new Canon 5D Mark II
7. Knocked the focusing screen out of his fantastic new Canon 5D Mark II.
Oh and...
8. Helped Mom babysit Henry for an entire day, but that should technically be #1 in chronological order.

So. That is what has happened. Here are some pics with the Mark II... It's phenomenal in low-light situations.


Here are my socks! Aren't they pretty? Actually, there are these terrible lines of loose stitching


I ripped these pieces of paper out of envelopes, wrapping paper, etc. that was addressed to me. :) But check out how the camera caught the details and it was SO DARK.

Mum has been knitting Henry a sweet sweater. Again, super dark situation.

And this is Quinn's hat. :)


P.S. Doesn't the title remind you of Lost? Heh heh... 4 6 8 15 16 23... Or something like that. Poo, I never thought I'd become addicted to TV shows! :[
