stereotypes

I went to my “Chisel” class at the Y-dubs. Usually, this class is taught by a buff young man who doesn’t sweat. Today, it was taught by a slightly less buff, slightly older man with a beard, wearing a gold wedding ring on his left hand and a pink handkerchief on his right wrist. I found this confusing but enjoyed the class.

I realized this morning that I have a week to break in my new hiking boots before I leave for Yellowstone, so I walked to work in them, my feet protesting in the muggy morning air (as they were shoved into hiking socks). Breaking in hiking boots is more important than fashion. I probably should have spent my lunch hour in my hiking boots and not getting “chiseled.” More wedding planning stuff.

Sigh. I really just wanted to enjoy being engaged for about 3 months before doing any planning, but if we do that, all the other brides who didn’t laze about will book every reasonably priced everything.I once worked with a girl who had been living with her boyfriend for forever, and then he proposed, and then they were engaged forever. As in, for 5 years and no wedding date in sight. I don’t know if this is because she kept spending their wedding money on Alexander Wang handbags and Helmut Lang t-shirts or what, but they really seemed to be enjoying not-planning-their-wedding. Actually, as far as I know, they’re still engaged. Maybe they’re onto something.
