Can anyone say "J'regret?"

That will probably be my most used French phrase. Not being fluent in French, I find myself agonizing over the small bits -- you know -- and, but, Can't, can, what, who, etc. I know the words, but I'm at the stage of brain freeze -- like when you see someone you just had a meeting with three days ago -- except now you're outside a restaurant, or a movie theatre and they say "Hi___________your name here________" and you have that three second pause where you pray to God someone else knows the person and speaks up before you physically have to yank your tongue from the roof of your mouth and say -- the wrong name. So that is where I am at, tonight. Now, of course, I am fairly certain that one, if not all, of the other three writers are fairly fluent -- one has some type of abode in Paris -- so I am guaranteed to be at the mumbling and nodding end of the communication spectrum. Can anyone say "J suis humilié." But I will bravely and with "d'énergie" -- stick my foot in my mouth from dawn 'til dusk...and somehow be a better woman for it. Bon Nuit.
