Okay so I have been communicating with this adorable Polish man who I am bartering with to paint our apartment. We have been emailing for a few weeks .. he came by to see the space. The price has gone down 80% because I am awesome/we are poor (the best bartering fuel EVER).
He is really sweet. But he speaks no English or French and I speak no Polish (except TAK TAK which means YES YES) so we communicate only with Google translate.
Our conversations have slowly been getting weirder and weirder.
I told him yesterday that I would contact him after arnaud got paid and tell him if we had money for the paint job, but that it would probably be for April 1st.
His response:
"Well I'm waiting for a message from you Lord. I have also a question because I do not know who writes that with you or with you? Regards Gregory"
I have not a single fucking clue how to respond.
Maybe:
"Gregory, it is me, Lord. It is always me and never me who writes with me. Lord"
AWKWARD CITY.
HAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!! Lord. Makes me wonder what your message translated to. You are SO ENTERTAINING!

Charis! It's Caroline! I just discovered your blog. I looked up chalkballerina because i had this urge to see your photography, and I remembered it was the name of your company... and then I found this! What a gem! I miss you already and can't see you again.... even though it will not be for about a week and a half. sniff. i weep. but honestly, this blog kind of makes me love you more, and maybe even want to be you, just a little bit. or re-start my own blog... which I abandoned about 4 years ago... or 5... or 6?? wow, it's been a long time. anyway, now i'm just writing words for the sake of writing words so i'll stop. just thought i'd say hi is all, and that you're neat and cool and i like you.
