Tuesday Roll Call
, I finally got back to finish painting the tables yesterday. Also was able to scrape the shed door. It looked terrible. I am going to get it painted today. I also want to get the deck cleared off. I am planning a bbq for Father's day, but I will be gone most of next week. I am heading to Minn. with my girls.
It looks like it will be a nice sunny day. I hope so.
Hugs,
Lisa 
Hello everyone
Well I got a dress. Funny thing is Lisa you kind of led me to the website where I found it. I was looking up the store you mentioned and had trouble finding it. So I started clicking on the websites that came up. I found a website that had beautiful dresses for cheap and you can give them your measurements and they will tailor the dress for you. So I did it. Now I have to wait about a month for it. I hate waiting.
Yesterday I was out in the front garden for the first time pulling up the weeds I killed and taking a good look at the bush there. After I cleaned out the dead leaves from last Fall, garbage and dead branches...it looks so skinny...I don't know if that's the word. It does not look like a full bush anymore. Well it wasn't before but there was that illusion because of the dead leave and what not. I was wondering if fertilizing and watering will fill out the bush.
I need to plant and mulch and keeps raining. Ugh.
Well today I will get out there and do more clean up. It looks bad...to me.
Time to get back to work. See you all later.
Well luckily I should have it by the end of the month. Plenty of time to decide if I want to wear it or chuck it. Luckily its an A line dress with an empire waist. It should be very flattering with my shape. And I plan on wearing some spanx just to very sure I look nice. Only thing I am worrying about is my arms. Its a strapless and you know the "flappy wings" on your arms after weight loss. No way to hide that in a strapless. I'm hoping its not noticeable.
Try to get some sun or perhaps spray tan...that helps with the illusion of slimmer arms. Perhaps look for a very lightweight lacy thin width stole/wrap for coverage. You will be gorgeous no matter what you wear.
Also, I'm not familiar with where u r going, but perhaps u can check Craigslist for stylists who can come to your hotel for hair help. On Katie's wedding day, hair and make up came to the house. Hugs
Crystal be very careful from ordering a dress from a place that u give your measurements and pick a style. It wasn't from Bye Bye Something? My daughter did that from the Internet for her wedding dress and it was Terrible???!!!! The lace was discolored and had grease on it. And it didn't fit. She sent it back in a plastic bag. Wouldn't fit back in the packaging it came in. It came from China! I had to fight to get the pYment back. Thank goodness I had American Express.
Buyer beware!!!
Anyway I'm still in Chicago. My kids are almost done miving. I'm on Vinnie patrol.
I'm here till June 13th. Then I'm going home to rest for a couple of months. I'm going to Denver for most of August.
My kids moved to Skokie. They used to live in Logan Sq.
so my drove will be a bit farthur.
But I won't have to put up with city traffic.
