The current forecast for Saturday, July 30: Sunny, high of 90F, 0% chance of rain. That’s funny about the rain, because there are thunderstorms predicted for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I hope they hold off.

We got a lot done over the weekend; I think everything that needs to be done up to this point is done. There are some things that can’t reasonably be done yet, like buying and cutting up vegetables, but that’s what Thursday is for. I’m really glad I decided to take Thursday off work; there are tons of things that need to get done, and it’ll be good to have a day to do them.

I feel like a self-absorbed bourgeois ninny, when I look at the big picture. To be quite honest, I have no idea what’s going on in current world events. I know there were more bombs in London (Sara, is this affecting your plans at all? My friend Sara is planning to move there in the fall), and I know about John Roberts, but that’s about the range of my sensitivity to the world outside my own.

I’m sorry I’m neglecting you, world. I promise I’ll start paying attention again ASAP.

Oh, I just went to CNN.com, and it looks like London cops killed a guy, erroneously assuming he was one of the responsible parties for the attacks. Oops.

Back to the wedding (self-directed eye-roll)…

Last night we sat in on some of a choir rehearsal. They sound so great! I got goosebumps and I’m really, really excited about the music. For those of you who don’t know, my fabulously talented friend/wedding planner/idol Chris got some suggestions from me on romantic, fun songs Denny and I like, then he composed classical-ish sounding arrangements of them for a capella choir. We have seven singers (opera students and local musical theatre people) performing them. Oh my god, they sound so cool. I’m not going to blow everything, but let’s just say that I’m especially fond of a surprisingly Gregorian/Celtic-sounding version of the Proclaimers’ “I Would Walk.”

I am wiggly with excitement.
