A whole wagon of people....

.... managed to see what only a few special people can see.... *falls down laughing*

So I was in Paris for the weekend, and we stayed at my cousin's friend's apartment (so lovely and charming by the way!) the only thing we had to do was pass on the keys back to the maid. Problem was, we were running late as we had decided to have an ice cream instead of getting our things ready to go.... bad move! And the maid lives on one end of Paris while our train station is right next to the apartment.

ANYWAY, we got lucky in that we got out of the apartment and there's a taxi standing right there dropping off people on the same street. Traffic sucked big time, so things were rather slow. It was 6.40pm. Our train was leaving at 7.08pm and we were still on the way to drop off the keys before having to rush back to the train station. Shit.

6.47pm and still no sign of the train station. By 6.56pm, I was sitting there thinking... bloody hell, we're gonna miss the train. We finally see signs pointing to the Gare de Lyon at like 7.01pm and how the hell were going to catch our train in 7 minutes was beyond me.

The taxi drops us at the bottom of the train station, at 7.03pm and we're running our butts off here but at the same time, I was like... we aint gonna make it!

To my delight and surprise, the train is STILL standing there and so we just make a dash for it.... only to find we're on the wrong side of the train. We make another last minute effort to get to the wagon on the other side, and I stumble into the wagon, panting and totally not caring how crappy i look only to be confronted by a look of horror in a woman's face as she grabs hold of her husband's hand, who is clearly enjoying something. I look down and voila, my 8small but very much there) puppies are out and about with my tube top totally under them. I quickly pull it up, and trying to look cool... I said "Hey, well at least I'm wearing a bra!" and started walking to the next wagon to find our seats.

In the meantime, my friend Anna is totally oblivious to what just happened as she recovers from our record breaking sprint, and as I was trying to tell her... I realized that I had just announced to the whole wagon that my top had fallen off because as you all know, I'm quite loud. Bravo Faautu!

Anyhoo... that's my little story for the week... or month... or whatever... Hope you enjoyed it! LOL. I sure did, because I knkow I wont be seeing those people ever again.
