more gentle

we put our wedding invitations in the mail!

i can go back to being a good person.

how did the process of making our wedding invitations become a metaphor for life?

i worried too much about the little things. the guest list. the addresses. a smart lady told me one time that "it's none of your business what other people think of you." i need to remember that.

as bill murray says in meatballs, "it just doesn't matter."

i thought i could take it easy. some days i did, some days i did not.

after looking at countless samples of wedding invitations. after discussing the difference between "inchworm" and "chartreuse." after getting to know the staff at paper depot. after falling in love with andy a little bit more; they are in the mail.



the most important part to andy was that they were colorful. they are. the most important part to me was that the corners were rounded. it makes the paper seem more gentle. rounded corners, i think, are easier on the eyes, easier to hold on to.

so, i wrote this little blog entry a few days ago and i was going to post it on my old myspace blog. but it does not seem to belong there. the myspace blog was so fun to write. it encouraged me to take notes on my life, to pay attention. but i feel like i've grown out of it. i'm 30 for heaven's sake! and facebook is too full of words already.

so here's my new blog. thanks for reading it!

now you go write something down too.
