Summer and Engagements

--I find that when I learn of a friend getting engaged these days (usually via facebook), I start singing "Another One Bites the Dust" in my head.

--It has been so hot here in Nashville. Like, break-a-sweat-walking-to-your-car hot. Oh, summer.

--This is my first "real-life" summer. I feel an immense pressure to do something wonderful, fun, and adventurous. So far, I feel I have failed. I have had fun, but nothing adventurous.

--My best friend is getting married in 24 days. Which, conveniently, brings me back to my first point.

"Every time a couple gets married, two single people die." --Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation
