Plus, when I lived in France it was in such a small town that the day after the civil ceremony everyone in the town switched from Mademoiselle to Madame - because somehow everyone knew when the "yankee" was marrying one of their own. I remember the first couple of times when I'd be in a post office or something and people would come in and loudly announce "Bonjour messieurs/dames!" I always thought the person was a little nutty - but then it happened pretty much every time so I got used to it. However, when we moved to a big city (Toulouse) nobody did that anymore so I ended up liking the titles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806401.post-1150271092053583672006-06-14T09:44:00.000+02:002006-06-14T09:44:00.000+02:00I sometimes wish I didn't have a job.

I don't have the crows feet, I have the inherited crease in between the eyebrows. I just don't get the entire "title" thing - but maybe that's the American in me. I like you, do love the title "mama"! Congratulations of the job - I'm sure you'll be a success. I am due in the next 2 1/2 weeks and I don't think this baby is going to wait for it's due date. My stomach is so low, it's practically touching my thighs. Yes, isnt' that a pretty visual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806401.post-1150225152035863192006-06-13T20:59:00.000+02:002006-06-13T20:59:00.000+02:00Tom - you're the last to leave a comment because y...Tom - you're the last to leave a comment because you work too much or because the rest of us have terrible work ethics.<BR/><BR/>Beth - when's your due date?Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306228378745291912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806401.post-1150217195576718802006-06-13T18:46:00.000+02:002006-06-13T18:46:00.000+02:00Christi - Huh?Job's teaching English to undergrad ...Christi - Huh?<BR/>Job's teaching English to undergrad business students.
