Maybe I'll find a whole knew way of living or learn how to do magic in the name of research. <br /><br />Enjoy your wedding research.

It's pretty intense, reading about the slaves, workers, and married women. Difficult to imagine, and very easy to just romanticize, imagining them all eating figs and dancing in the desert.Jessica Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210850155571710389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-51646841912302422852011-11-04T20:03:41.380-05:002011-11-04T20:03:41.380-05:00Oh a wedding story.

That's been fun. Not so fun is trying to untangle the intricacies of the British police system. I'm sure it is no more complicated than the US system, it's just all completely foreign to me, and I have such a hard time wrapping my brain around it. I keep thinking I might have to hand that aspect over to my husband, who has a very organized mind, and just ask him to make a spreadsheet for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
