RSVP is French for pete's sake!

It's been six days since we've heard from Paul & Sylvie, which of course means I am spiraling down into a discouraged mess. Today I sent out inquiries for five more exchanges. Our total count of inquiries sent out thus far equals nine with only one reply so far.

Grrrrr... I do not do this part of this process well. I contacted Global Exchange to see if perhaps there is something technically amiss to explain for the lack of replies. Don't you think if someone wasn't interested they would at least send a brief, "Non merci?" What part of "please reply even if it is to say you are not interested" do people not understand??

Sheesh. Trying hard not to obsess. Thank goodness we're watching a movie today. The distraction will be fleeting, but lovely.

  1. Received two replies this afternoon! Hahaha. God is so funny.
    Both were polite "non merci," but at least they replied!
