ca ne marche pas.

A short and I'm sure incomplete list of things that don't work here:

Any of my electronics. I thought my hairdryer was going to explode.
Betting the kids I can do their chores faster than them.
Pandora.
My internet set-up.
The Turkish Toilet on my floor. (Look it up. It was invented by the devil. In fact, here is a cute little informative link. http://www.toilet-related-ailments.com/toilet-posture.html)
My credit card.
Netflix.
My brain when it comes to speaking french.
Anyone on a Sunday.
My map reading skills (oh wait those don't work anywhere)
CBS/ABC/Hulu or any form of american television ( CAN I GET A BACHELORETTE UPDATE PLEASE)
Being a baseball fan. "What's baseball? We don't have that here, do you like tennis?" ummmm....

more to follow.

on another note, despite complaints about les choses qui ne marche pas, I'm still having a wonderful time.
I took a french assessment today to hopefully enroll in a french class in the next 2 weeks,
the kids are adorable, I casually got to read in one of the most beautiful gardens in Paris, Parc Monceau, for like 2 hours today after taking the kids to school and then got to venture south to the jardin du luxembourg for a few hours, and I am living in Paris. Sooo life could be worse. I even found out where a starbucks is.

  1. So much for the adapters we bought, huh? I hope they plan to fix the AC. And the Internet. That thing about the chores...I guess that was your mistake, then. :)
