Top ten ways you know you’ve been in France too long...

1. You wonder if McDonald’s in the US is serving a McRoyale Tartiflette right now.
2. You wonder on a fairly regular basis what the likelihood of H&M hiring you to be their next model is, given that you have begun to wear only their clothes.
3. You wear solid black, head to toe... twice in a week.
4. You own at least one of each of the following, which you use at least once a week: cigarette pants, heeled boots, stocking cap, silk camisole, carte orange.
5. A Nutella crepe does not seem like an unsquare meal.
6. You can’t remember your size in the US, and saying "I wear a 38" no longer seems like such a big deal.
8. When you do something stupid, you no longer mutter "dang it," but "zut alors..."
9. You find yourself wondering why you don’t take the bus more often in the US.
10. It’s been five months, three weeks and two days since you ate a bagel.

You may notice that I skipped number 7. It’s because I have a party to go to and need to get out of here. Alors, bon soiree!
