Points to Ponder
- Yesterday I went to lunch with some folks from church. We somehow came to the subject of engagement stories, and one of the guys told us about his friend who recently proposed. The guy filled a room with candles and sang a song he had written to his girlfriend. My roommate's response was, "That is so romantic." My simultaneous response was, "Ugh." I think growing up in a house with all boys has really messed me up.
- We are just one month away from my 29th birthday! (Feel free to prepare blog counters accordingly.) I usually am not a big birthday person, preferring instead to ignore the fact that time is indeed advancing onward. However, as this will be my last year as a twenty-something, I am going to embrace it. I am up for suggestions on the best way to begin my 29th year.
- And, finally, here's a little Monday inspiration to start your week off right. Whenever you have made a decision and acted on it, there is no need to look back and question it. Remember the words of Charles Dickens in The Pickwick Papers..."It's over, and can't be helped, and that's one consolation, as they always say in Turkey, when they cut the wrong man's head off." That's comforting, right? I thought so.

I would be supremely embarrassed for Luke if he ever sang me a song, so the vote continues to be unanimous. I wanted to get you some personalized M&Ms for your birthday, but I went online to get them and they are forty-five freakin' dollars!!!! Sorry, I will get you regular M&Ms, plus something else, too.
I think that in the last year of your twenties, you should do everything that Phoebe wanted to do before she turned thirty.
Okay, it's good to know it isn't just me! I was beginning to think I had no heart.
I am going to have to go back and watch that Friends episode again. That was a good one! Good list.
All our birthdays are right there together...we should all go out one night!
Becky, regular m&ms are pretty personalized for me :)
Hey, not bad...old Paul the Italian romantic!
Ok all you PEOPLE. There is NOTHING wrong with a guy who can sing proposing that way. Just because your husbands (or pretend husbands...ahem) can't sing doesn't mean that it isn't a great way to propose. So there. Now the vote ISN'T unanimous. Now, if he can't sing, then he shouldn't. That would just be embarassing. (Unless it was like My Best Friend's Wedding -- that's kind of endearing in a funky way.)
