so the old me, the me who had all these notions of what i should do, is no longer here, and by that i don't mean that i am rude or treat people badly, or put my own needs ahead of everyone elses - nor that i don't adhere to expected social norms...
but tonight i am tired, i want to watch the soccer, i don't drink wine and i've been with people who don't speak english all day...so what i want to do is ditch the dinner, where there will be a wine tasting (i don't like wine...) and curl up on my bed with room service and watch england attempt to get their world cup back on track...
so that is EXACTLY what i am going to do...
let's hope they win so it's been worth it as no doubt i will be giving up some nice french food! which is one of the many plusses of paris by the way - the deserts at today's lunch were simply amazing - and i love the french - they have sort of tiny bite size pieces so you can have all 7 or 8 deserts if you wish and you still don't feel full! the american's could learn a thing or two from the french about how to eat food...
so there was a coffee/chocolate mousse topped with a bitter orange sauce, a vanilla creme with raspberry coulis, almond tart with apple, mini chocolate eclairs and some other delicious thing that i can't really describe...
sooo sure, i'm possibly giving up more great french food, but my soul and not my stomach needs to be fed, and a quiet night in is just what i want!
don't you love being all grown up?
