[FLASHBACK]
Friday, February 19th
Our patio set came today, here it is!!
That evening I sat at the table with a glass of wine, making flashcards for the Mandarin words I’m starting to learn. The hardest one to pronounce is “ball point pen”, or “yuenchubi” (yoo-when-choo-bee). At least I remember that one, unlike the number 7. Why can I not recite 1 through 10 without having to check my flashcards at 7?? There’s nothing like learning a new language to make you feel like you have an IQ of 47. Or 46. I can’t use the number 7 because I haven’t memorized it yet.
