| | I haven't forgotten about my blog. I think I'm just puzzled right now as to what to write about. Oodles of details about weddings and marriages and oodles of details about my students' personalities and learning styles are dominating my life right now, and I'm not sure how much of that warrants lengthy public discourse.
I'm collecting all sorts of interesting facts I never knew before. Did you know that dendrobium orchids are edible, so much so that chefs at fancy restaurants serve them on salads as a garnish?
I'm also plumbing the mysterious depths of formatting in Word. I've been working on wedding invitations for the last week or so, and since my paper is not a standard size, I've been doing a lot of careful eyeballing and a lot of minor margin adjustments. It's actually been pretty fun. I LOVE playing with paper. My handwriting is sloppy and I have no skill in arts and crafts of any kind, but I love paper, fonts, and colors anyway. One of these days I want to learn how to calligraphy. That would just be cool.
Evan and I spent hours this week registering, mostly at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and we probably looked like kids in a candy shop. The bridal registry assistant set up a place setting for us - and we like some VERY funky shapes and combinations - and we played with it for the next half hour, roaming all over the store and collecting pieces we thought might coordinate, trying them out, and giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down. By the time we got to registering for bath towels we were so hungry and my feet were hurting so badly that we sounded something like this:
Me: Do we want washcloths?
Evan: I just scanned washcloths a second ago.
Me: Oh. Do we want handtowels?
Evan: YES we want handtowels!
Me: Oh.
It's a good thing I wasn't by myself.
Well, now I'm off to persuade the post office that my invitations are not oversized, and then to reduce an orchestral arrangement of my bridal processional for piano and violin.  Bye!
