Bride in Training: November 2008
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Thinking more clearly now. A few months ago, my father bought me a book that I've refused to read. It's called The Female Brain. From anyone because I'm afraid that hearing that will lead me by the nose into a sort of infantile trust in a flawed system (particularly one that has been established by the patriarchal hegemony). WellDr. Brizendine has a suggestion. That's fine. What matters is that I perceived it as a stressor, ...

Bride in Training: August 2008
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Friday, August 29, 2008. Well, Jack and Robert have managed to inform literally almost all of my friends and associates about this weekend's plans.and yet not a single person has blown the surprise! Some people have sheepishly admitted to coming close to spilling the beans, but I've been effectively kept in the dark. This is quite an accomplishment, considering Jack's been working on these plans for months and months. Is it 4:00 yet? I know we'll have a go...

Bride in Training: January 2009
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Friday, January 30, 2009. To read, or not to read. Lame joke, I know. Forgive me. I'm sleep deprived and trying not to acknowledge the precipice upon which I stand. She did give me a more narrow focus for when I study for the exams over the next couple of weeks, which is a relief. Thursday, January 29, 2009. I got an e-mail from our Graduate Studies Coordinator with the official exam schedule:. Wednesday, February 18: 7:45-10:45 am, Shakespeare. Well, most...

Bride in Training: 17 days away and just holding on for dear life
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2009/05/17-days-away-and-just-holding-on-for.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. 17 days away and just holding on for dear life. I haven't updated in a while, mostly because the rest of the semester since achieving ABD spiraled largely out of control. Without recapping everything, I'll just focus on where we stand 17 days before the wedding. It seems to me that there is a complete disconnect between the reality and people's fantasies for this wedding. An error on your part does not equal an emergency on my part.

"Super G": December 2013
http://gretchenannemcnally.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 13, 2013. I'm halfway through my secondary ACL prevention program. I followed up with my knee surgeon, David Flanigan. I really like him, he's very personable, which is definitely not what surgeons are known for. Hahahaha! He was super busy, and running behind, which was unusual for him, but he still spent a lot of time with me. I didn't feel rushed at all. Matt and I celebrated with some chicken, pasta and wine! You can't really see it, but the wine is "Middle Sister", which I am!

"Super G": The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
http://gretchenannemcnally.blogspot.com/2010/10/immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks.html
Sunday, October 10, 2010. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Rebecca Skloot devoted 10 years of her life to discovering and writing about Henrietta Lacks and her family. Who was Henrietta Lacks? Henrietta Lacks was a poor African American diagnosed and treated for advanced cervical cancer at John Hopkins. Before her death in 1951 (at age 30), Henrietta unknowingly made the greatest medical contribution ever: her cervical cells. I simply had no idea. Gretchen A. McNally. Sunday, October 10, 2010. Well,...

Bride in Training: September 2008
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Saturday, September 27, 2008. No sleep for the weary. It's been a few days since I've posted, so I suppose I should begin with a quick recap. I spent the morning on the phone with the insurance company, the student medical clinic, and my ophthalmologist's office. The insurance company won't cover my visit because I failed to get a referral from the student medical clinic first. Why didn't I get a referral? Ugh Thursday was ever more of the same. Althou...

Bride in Training: 12 days to go and waiting with bated breath
http://bride-in-training.blogspot.com/2009/05/12-days-to-go-and-waiting-with-bated.html
Choosing to love and be loved, every single day. Monday, May 11, 2009. 12 days to go and waiting with bated breath. In twelve days, I marry the man I love. In twelve days, I learn what my mom kept promising I'd learn. In twelve days, I drop a last name to gain another. In twelve days, I knit my soul to Robert's to be witnessed by my friends and family. In twelve days, my real life begins. In twelve days, I wear that gorgeous dress for its intended purpose. In twelve days, I celebrate a family doubled.
