My Jeff may go black, but I kinda want him to go pewter, if he gets a tux. He was just going to wear his suit, then he was going to wear his kilt with his klan's tartan, too hot for that!

Ooh a kilt, hmm. That would he hot and not temperature wise LOL. The pewter sounds good but I like color (they had a red that would have went with the red dress I wanted LOL-no Dawn I won't let it go. I need to just buy it and get it over with :))
Chuck will have an ivory vest with ivory necktie.
Steve's tux has a cream shirt and a black vest.
I haven't even bought my shoes yet! YIKES! I need to get on that.
Tempted to wear flips flops! Kara would have a come apart! I have to buy something built for comfort and not speed as far as shoes. No Drop-Me-Off-At-The-Curb-Heels!
Kilt... there will be industrial fans outside, so make sure he's not being too traditional with that kilt! It is as a children's charity event so let's keep it PG rated please. LOL
He changed his mind luckily and besides that he would not go without undies if he had to wear one or Baer's diaper's! He does have nice legs though!
Ok, I have another dress... I actually have several. Found a great deal on dresses at that discount place here and got 3 of them for my mom and sisters for $100. Of course, they don't like any of them. I'm Ebaying them. Anyone need a dress still? I have an ivory one and one that shows way too much cleavage (didn't realize that until after I bought it). The other I'm probably going to wear if I don't get the first altered. Here they are...
The 1st one I really love that's too long and the waist a little too big...

Back up dress that I really like too but am afraid it's too thin and I'll flash people when the cameras flash. Plus I'd have to hold my breath all night....

So either way, I have to alter one of them. Still need to find shoes too.
LOL, Lynne
Ugh, shoe shopping for the ball! Actually, it wasn't that bad for me. The biggest challenge was finding my size and I wanted a wider heal instead of the real pointy.
I pick my dress up today. I'm having nightmares about it being altered too small and not fitting. Therefore, I went out and bought a girdle! My first. Man does that thing suck me in a good whole inch.

Dawn, you like a princess! I love them both!
Dawn-They both are beautiful!!!!!
I am wearing flip flops--just for you Kara!!! lol
Oh Dawn-they are both beautiful! I really love the first one!!!
Dawn, I think the first one is the one for you for this ball. I really like the second one but for some reason I keep going back to the first one and I look at it and think that is what youo envisioned for this whole thing. It is really beautiful and I think you look fantastic in it.
Kara I love the shoes. Mine are a tad pointy. Jeff has told me to start practicing walking in them LOL
I like both of them. I still need to buy shoes. I should go today, after I check all 421 messages on here! We had family visit and I haven't been on since wednesday or thursday! Geesh!
Thanks, ladies. Not sure if I'm going to be able to get the dress altered in time though. I've lost 8 lbs in the past 2 week - will probably lose another 5 before the events (stress is the best diet. lol) so it has to be taken in. I dropped it off at a tailor shop and they wanted to charge me twice as much as what I paid for the dress. Just to hem it straight across the bottom (no lace, nothing) was $75. Time to get out my old sewing machine I guess. I haven't even started looking for shoes yet. I think I'm just doing the ballet slipper thing so I don't trip and hurt someone. I am too clumsy for high heels.
I think I am going to go for slippers or flip flops. i will have to stay away from Kara though :)
I'm speechless . . . . . .
I am thinking of flip flops too but i am just 5'1' so that may not be such a good idea. But at my age i have to be comfortable.
Dawn I found a seamstress on Craigslist. I am just praying that she does a good job and returns my dress. That would be my luck :)
I have not bought shoes yet. i have to do that today and go get my dress hemmed! I am thinking about clear shoes, kind of a Cinderella feel. But then I run the risk of them looking hoochey!
I am seriously thinking of finding new ones and returning the ones I have (if I can). I just don't think they will be all that comfortable and I paid too much for them to not be worn. They are very pretty but.... I did get my pedicure yesterday so my toes look all pretty LOL. Getting highlights Tuesday and need to fit in time to get my nails done. Have company come in tonight for Brandon's birthday (my baby is 12 today!!) and partying this weekend. Ok off to karate. He is mad I am making him go on his birthday but he is missing all next week, mean mom!
Are yall ready ???
I bought my shoes! I got a pair of those dyeable shoes that I am just going to leave white and for a REALLY good price so i am too happy!
ohh a pedi what a great idea! I don't think about pampering myself enough!
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
pedicures !!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I am going to get my hair fired, dyed and laid to the side tomorrow! Next week I am going to get the whole mani/pedi thing done. I used to do it all time before Baer. Who has time now? Amy you should spoil yourself girl you need it! Let me know about the hair thing girls.
I meant fried, dyed and laid to the side!
oh holy cows! SHOES!!! I knew I was forgetting something! YIKES! LOL my dress does nt come to the floor so it might look a little silly with flip flops!
In South Carolina we wear flip flops all year long with EVERYTHING! Barb if you want to wear flip flops then YOU WORK IT GIRL!
LOL I guess that I could go shoeless.......then just hand me that jug of moonshine! ROFL at that picture!!
Moonshines mine, girls!! Hands off!! You know, I for real could get my hands on some and spike that punch. Just kidding . . . . or am I . . . . .
Kara you are a hoot! If you drink the punch you take your chances! BTW.. are we having dinner at the ball or before?
Kara save some of that moonshine for the Ohio picnic, just kidding it does have to be alcohol free but we can always meet up later LOL.
Barb I told you to get shoes a month ago! Mine will probably be coming off so I need to find some pretty socks I can put on cause I hate touching strange floors (wonder where my son got all his aversions from?) Don't get me started on hotel rooms! Stocking up on bleach wipes...
ok gonna go with flip flops then since Kara won't share the 'shine! LOL
hehehee son't worry girls.....when she hears us all flip flopping she WILL share!
Tara I try not to think about the hotel floors and such! ewwww!
Too funny! I just got back from the store and bought my Clorox spray to hose stuff down! We're freaks!
light switches, door nobs, REMOTE control, bathroom .. dont dare use the phone and never, i mean never sit or sleep under the comforters ...
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Ya know... the rarely ever wash the comforters. There is far more dirt and nastiness on them then on the sheets.
We never did the germophobic, neat freak thing with Shane. He was a kid, we lived in our house. We even had a cat and dog. The house was clean but never spotless. We kept sick people away and we didn't go out too much in the winter but after being in the hospital for so long we didn't want him to be treated like the boy in the bubble. We had dust. I never used Chlorox around him (the fumes on this lungs, no way). And though he was in the hospital a lot and even though he didn't survive - all from recurrent CDH the last 4 years of his life. The first 2 he had pneumonia a few times because he had the trach and you can't filter germs through air with a trach. But no colds, no viruses, no flu, no normal sniffles or any of that "normal people" stuff. Jeremy and I were never really sick either - we got more colds while in the hospital than at home. There's something to be said for a few germs and building up immunity. :)
oh that is so true dawn
i just have issues with hotel rooms LOL
lol, Penny. I'm still trying to figure out the sleeping schedule here. My mom will be here, have tons of errands to run during those days so not sure if I'm staying at the hotel or running back and forth home or to Craig's. But at least 1 night I will stay over and hang out with you guys!!! Friday probably (have to go home to get my mom Thursday night).
I am still shoeless! But the dress issue is fixed. Got my hair done and do not like it. It was lighter, frosted, lots of browns and golds and now it's... well, for lack of a better color.... charcoal. Not black, not brown just colorless and dull and with a few strands of color. I keep trying to wash the color out! Not happy with that salon at all. :( On the bright side, it will now match the silver in my dress. lol. :D
