ce que vous voulez???

Today was an interesting day. I was met today with four customers who, I'm guessing are on vacation here in the states, who spoke nothing but this foreign language and I had no idea what they were saying. I had to resort to pointing , thumbs up, thumbs down, shaking head yes or no, feeling the fabric etc. It was quite hard and frustrating at first but after a while we got the hang out it. I had to help other customers and the four foreigners went out with their browsing  and other associates tried to help them and kept complaining how annoying they are because they didn't speak English. After a while (read:1 hour), the one man pointed towards the register, here is where I interact with them again and then the man looked at me, I was probably frazzled looking said to me with a smile "Tu parle l Français?" I somehow knew what that meant  and giggle to myself and said " no, Italian tho." Three Hundred dollars later the strangers from France had finally left. That started my morning off great.

The rest of the day flew by and by 4 pm I was ready to go go go.
On my way home, I stopped by the library and picked up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I have been looking at it for a hour.

Rizzoli and Isles was awesome last night and I am re-watching it right now. It's going to be a good season.

we were caught up in a southern summer.
