To be French is to be relaxed. Americans live to work, the French work to live.
It can be a challenge rapidly accomplishing your errands when stores are closed
for lunch, for hours! It need not be exactly at noon, nor an hour. An hour for
lunch, how could one relax?
So there isn't coffee to go, so you have to sit with this tiny cup of high test
coffee, one would think it would rev you up, get the tempo off and running,
nope, that doesn't happen. And then the smoking with the coffee, that slows
it down. No running skipping, no to do list. The females on the news stations
don't even comb their hair, wisps here and there, what is that about. I'm
sure Kelly Rippa is in cosmetics for at least an hour before the show, not
just her face either, polish those Jimmy Choe shoes!
I just don't know how the French with long workday breaks and calmness
can get to Friday and say "Phew, glad that week is over!"
just wrote out a huge comment and then lost it-so for the sort term: love the UGGs instead of the Jimmy Choes and the glasses instead of a hair stylist. Forgo the to go coffee and learn to relax - something that you will do well to learn. But don't give up the toque and be prepared to serve just more than pigeon to us all when you get back. rester calme, mon amie
