There has not been much posting the past deux semaines (two weeks) and that is because there hasn't been much frenching for the past deux semaines. Nous (we) moved me out of my SC apartment and back into our NC maison (home) just in time to pack up for a été (summer) in Connecticut. Daniel est travaillent (is working) for an acoustic consulting firm ( I can barely spell it in english let alone français). Je ne sais pas (I don't know) what I will be doing other than enjoying the the Connecticut coast so that will leave plenty of time for a focused French effort.
Now to the French, currently working on time, directions, and position or as I like to think of it as the important but supremely frustrating things. For one, aside from pronunciations I have had a simple time knowing my numbers from dix to soixante (10 to 60) but things just got weird. 70 or soixante- dix, more accurately 60 plus 10. Very odd why not just come up with un plus (one more) word for a number, but no problem 80 will be soixante-vingt, nope. 80 is quarte- vingts (4 times 20) 90 is quarte - vingts- dix (4 times 20 plus 10). WHAT THE HELL? Can I remember this formula sure, will I be able to understand someone one when ils parlent (they talk) to me? Was this really easier than creating trois (three more) numbers? So apparently I am not in love with absolutely everything french.

This chair cost $35 if you want it
This is still true, nous (we) are still trying to sell it along with plenty of other crap.
