Good for you Kara! I have walked the dogs a couple of times but I am stuck at my weight!
Yes Barb and Dawn come shopping.
Dawn we had Skybus tickets for June to Philly. Thankfully our credit card company reimbursed us. We just bought them four days before they went under. You think they could have had the website down or something since they KNEW they were going under!

Oh Tara that is awful!! So glad that you got it taken care of! 4 days?! OMG!! Your right you would think that they knew and would not have been taking reservations.....
I found a dress! Yeah!! It should be here this week. I hope.....if not then Shane will get it while I am gone and that could be bad. I had found another one and when I got it I did not like it....I asked him what he thought and his only comment was "BURN IT!" YIKES!! LOL I really really hope that that brat likes this one if he gets it in while I am gone!
Did you go back and see if they had the one that u liked Tara?
I'm soooo bummed!!!! We are just not going to be able to make it. I was trying not to get my hopes up once they predicted the gas prices. and yep. there is just no way we can make it from oklahoma to NC at 3.50 a gallon. Have fun for us. And i was even going to get to wear MY DRESS!!! i'm so jealous of all you getting a night out in your evening gowns.
Carrie-you will be missed!
I have to find a dress!!!!
We should all make a week-end out of it and go somewhere and look together!!!!

Bedsheet Lynne! Egyptian cotton white bedsheet is much classier than a tarp and quieter!

OMG Kara you crack me up. Are you guys driving or flying Kara?
Carrie I am sorry you aren't going to make it. I looked at airline tickets today and it is pricey so I need to talk to DH about what we are going to do.
Ok I just got back from the mall and I don't know what to get. I saw about four dresses I liked that were reasonably priced. I just don't know if I want to go pouffy crenlin (sp?) style or a more elegant straight. I didn't try anything on yet. I really, really liked this one that was sleeveless, white and had burgandy "things" on the bodice. It was the pouffy style. I am 40 yrs old so I don't want to look like a high school wanna be if you know what I mean. I had the youngest girl I baby sit with me and she kept showing me these bright pink, lavendar dresses and this canary yellow one. Good grief I would have looked like a mini big bird in it.

Oh Carrie, we will definitely miss you!!!
I know gas is high and it's going to be tough for a lot of people. Just a thought... train rides are about the same prices as plane tickets. Carpooling too would make things easier if some of you live near each other.
Dresses... at this point, the sheet isn't sounding so bad!
