thoughts

  • Every time I pass a Target without stopping I declare personal victory.
  • This wedding stuff is harder, more discouraging, then I ever imagined. People have so many opinions and expectations. Though, I think we are over the hump now, but I have thought that before... We shall see!
  • The wedding to-do list is still quite large.
  • I am reading The Checklist Manifesto, by Atul Gawande, instead of accomplishing items on said to-do list. No good.
  • I want new Wellies, but am having a difficult time justifying their purchase.
  • I plan on hyphenating my last name.
  • My bed is now our bed.
  • Living in this house is more lovely than I could have imagined (see above bullet).
  • I need to learn the then/than rule.
  • And effect/affect one too.
  • Maybe learn is too general, I have often learned these rules, but fail to incorporate them completely into my used grammar repertoire. To do: incorporate.
  • We have pizza every Friday night and are mastering the art of homemade.
  • Oh, AND their is school/volunteering/research. Many thoughts there...

  • 100 days until marriage.

Yay for less than 100 days until marriage!
Are you going to post pics of the new house?
Is there anything I can help you check off your to do list? Even if it's just the then/than, effect/affect rules!
PS maybe we also need to go over the their/there/they're rules! (See last bullet)

New wellies. Essential. Buy them.

Hyphenation? Subjugation of your name to his, or his name to yours? Will he hyphenate too? (I do understand the societal pressures to change ones name, but nonetheless find it a strange custom).
Good luck with the word rules -- they are not grammar, just vocabulary. And good luck with the pizza too --- remember, simplicity is best, and don't crowd the ingredients!

And last, best of luck less than 100 days from now!
