Hey, the girl painfully walking with crutches over there? Is me! *waves with a blue crutch, almost loses balance, stops waving* The strained muscle - make that strained muscles defeated me yesterday afternoon and I had to steal the sis' crutches. I had the choice between hers or Henry's because see, those two are real pro as far as broken bones or strained muscles are concerned. It's like a gift. A gift that they shared with me this time apparently - or something *g* I should be walking normally again by Thursday or Friday... which basically means I'll be ready to go right for Weekend of Madness #2 - and this time? We have two more showings. I'm sorta worried about the aforementioned muscles, I'll admit. But we'll see. Maybe they'll remember the forced 'training' of last weekend and they'll be fine *crosses fingers*

I received my first Christmas card, today *g* Twas really lovely. Since I didn't fill any poll going around my flist, I'm really curious as to how many spontaneous cards I'll receive myself *g* Also, I didn't even buy mine yet, so to everyone who I'll send the cards to --I made a nice little list-- if you receive them after Christmas, don't be surprised *cough* I'd originally planned to go and buy them on Monday but huh... I sorta couldn't leave the house after all, so it'll be for later this week, hopefully. Though I'm not worried yet and you could all receive them in time.

Speaking of Christmas, yesterday I downloaded the most famous Christmas song around here, namely Petit papa Noël, which is the song every little French knows --or the chorus at least-- and I thought I'd share with you because... well, just because. The song has been translated in lots of different languages so you may already know about it, mind, but the French version is the original and everything. Worth giving it a try if you're in the right spirit *g*

Okay so don't laugh, but the first version I found is performed by Roch Voisine. Well, that download was first to complete so I picked that one lol The second one is the original song, by Tino Rossi. It goes back to 1946 or something like that. I included that one because the style is really endearing... it's pure 30's-40's and it always makes me smile.

And this has nothing to do with anything but is it Lost Day yet? Isitisitisitisit?

PS: Damn, but Jim looks so bloody hot on those mood icons!! And lookie, the big guy knows how to pout too!

I'm feeling better today, thanks hun *g* But you know, I would never say no to any kind of Deep Heat massage *eg*

You're welcome. I should try and find some others, it could be fun *g*

Ah and the 'petit soulier'? It's where le Père Noël put his gifts back in the days *g* That's what children did back then, they put their petits souliers under the tree - souliers being an old-fashioned way of saying 'chaussures', we don't use 'soulier' now. For instance, the only time when I hear that word is when my grand-father talks about his shoes and he was born in 1915 *g*

I remember putting my shoes under the tree only once with my cousins when we were kids. The rest of the time, it wasn't one of our traditions. We had/have others, but not this one *g*

Oh, how cute is that?? I can see why it died out though, you're not gonna get a very big present in a shoe, now are you *grins*?!

And I see that 'soulier' is masculine and 'chaussure' is feminine... *cries* I'm never gonna get the hang of this!

And big presents are important in a kid's mind lol But hey, the time when children got an orange and candy is over - which I have to say, I sorta was thankful for lol
