Cyber Spirituality

I'm blogging Kathy talking about blogging as a part of Cyber Spirituality. The odd time I've seen Kathy on T.V. she strikes me as comfortable and articulate expressing her views. I don't know how much prep time they give you on the questions they ask, but she never seems to be at a loss for what to say.

Five Money-Saving Wedding Tips

Cut your wedding costs in half by getting help from friends and family. [The Motley Fool]

We're following all five of these tips and trying to have a small wedding costing less than $5,000. It's difficult, but I think it can be done.

I'd add a one more tip:

6. Use things that can serve a dual purpose. I'm not renting a tux. I'll buy I new suit that I can wear at to the office, etc. afterwards. Part of our floral decorations will be potted plants that can be given as thank you gifts to people who helped out on the day.

WOTD

The Word of the Day for May 8 is:

insouciance • in-SOO-see-unss  • noun
: lighthearted unconcern : nonchalance

Example sentence:
Amanda sauntered casually into the meeting room with an air of insouciance; if she was worried at all about her presentation, she certainly didn't show it.

Did you know?
Don't worry—be insouciant. Perhaps your mind will rest easier if we explain that English speakers learned "insouciance" from the French in the 1700s (and the adjective "insouciant" has been part of our language since the 1800s). The French garnered their term from Latin; its most immediate ancestor was the verb "sollicitare" (meaning "to disturb"), which in turn traces to "sollicitus," the Latin word for "anxious." If it seems to you that "sollicitus" looks a lot like some other English words you've seen, you're right. That root also gave us "solicit" (which now means "to entreat" but which was once used to mean "to fill with concern or anxiety"), "solicitude" (meaning "uneasiness of mind"), and "solicitous" ("showing or expressing concern").
