Ground Control To Major Tom

There is a gentleman at my office who has the social graces of a hippo. He wonders past my desk multiple times a day with episodes of awkward chit chat often ensuing. Occasionally, too frequently for my liking, he asks “So, what’s the countdown?”.

Who says that to a bride? Especially me, a bride who has no clue how many days until her wedding. I usually just say “It’s coming!” or “July will be here soon enough!”.

But yesterday, I wanted to end the conversation quickly. I said “I don’t know, but Macy*s can tell us!” Macy*s.com keeps a countdown clock on our registry page. I pulled it up.

100 days.
