"God has extremely low expectations"
A quote I found in a book review in the Oprah magazine. I thought it was a funny thought.

I think I have a problem, it's alarming me how much I'm sleeping these days. I just fall asleep and wake up 2.5 hours later. Maybe I have something wrong with my reticular activating system? :P

I did go to ballet class today - probably the most productive thing I did all day today. The teacher used me to demonstrate sissone's. :) I think I strained a muscle tho.

Three day weekend coming up! It's going to be a weekend full of friends - old ones from high school and new recent ones. It should be really fun, hopefully we won't get stuck in the snow at Tahoe. It's been raining for a week, so the snow should be really powdery. Maybe it'll be easier to fall into. ;) I hope I get better at boarding!! It's really exhausting, getting up from falling all the time.

In response to a question asked by a reader to the author of "French Women Don't Get Fat", Mireille Guilliano, where the reader asked, "How to win a French woman's heart?"

"Speaking now as a French woman, let me say that since we cultivate joie de vivre showing an appreciation for that is the key. Respect and enhance the enjoyment she derives using her senses in tiny thoughtful ways - some flowers for no reason, a divine piece of chocolate left for her to find with a sweet note. Champagne is great. All the old clichés…they became clichés because they work and are used again and again. And be sure to be open to the pleasure of the senses yourself. American men can be so joylessly pragmatic sometimes and short of spontaneity, delight in the moment. Above all make her laugh, and that applies to all women the world over."
