Circus Acts...

The wedding is mere days away.  I'm juggling iteneraries and lists and budgets and phone calls and emails...all while keeping my sanity.  (It truly is impressive...I think I could join the circus.) 

Another big change is a-brewing.  D and I have decided it's time to move.  Monday, we go to see a townhouse.  It's a little smaller than where we are now.  (D says we live 'New York Chic' now so I'm curious what a smaller place would be considered in her eyes...)

School ended positively.  A's in Italian and Fiction...B in Grammar (shocking!), and a C in Finite.  I don't think I've ever been prouder of a C in my life.  I've been exchanging emails with an Italian woman who lives here in the city on a semi-regular basis to try and keep it fresh for me.  I'm also on the hunt for a walkman (yes...a walkman) to play tapes of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone while I read along-in Italian, of course.  After the wedding, I'm going to get myself a couple of Italian movies, too. 

I just finished reading Tom Rachman's 'The Imperfectionists'.  Great read...I'd suggest it to anyone who writes or knows a writer.  Whether or not they are into journalism makes no difference...they will appreciate it.  Currently I'm about to begin chapter 6 of Sara Gruen's 'Water For Elephants'.  *swoon*  I'm absolutely in love with this book and am currently struggling to put it down.  I give myself about an hour or so in the afternoon to read and I have been cheating and reading a lil longer!  (shhh...)  'WFE' is about a kid who sort of accidentally joins the circus back in the 1930s.  If you know me...you know my love, appreciation, and awe I have for circuses and for that time period.  (I've never told anyone this but I think I was a circus performer in a former life.  Probably involving elephants and satin and sequins...)

On that note, I'll end this post because it's time to go make dinner for my honey.  I promise there will be more to come, though.  I'm going to try to post at least once more before the wedding.  We'll see if I can pull it off...
