Stay Connected 
I had my first alterations meeting with the seamstress last night. I didn't have anyone with me except Adam to take my picture so please excuse the goofiness of this picture. I tried to take it myself. Also, the dress looks a little goofy on me cause I took it with all the pins and needles stuck in it. Anyway, here it is.

look at YOU ... you are 1 hot MOMMA !
Looks beautiful, Kara!!!
I've got to get my dress taken in... losing weight and now it's lose. And too long.... maybe I'm shrinking. Since May. Ok, doubtful, but now I have to find someone who will alter it without paying more for the altering than I paid for the dress.

Penny, you can do it!!! You come down here on a Saturday or Sunday and we'll go shopping together! There's a great discount shop in Hillsboro - dresses under $100. Once we find you a dress, then you'll be excited to wear it! Or wear a fancy white pantsuit if you want. Day of the Angel Ball, we'll all get ready at the hotel together and it will be a blast.
Speaking of all that - looking for hairdressers who will come. What do you all think if I get students? They need to practice as part of their class and they don't charge much at all. If they aren't doing any cutting or dying... they can't mess us up! We can always wash it and do it over. I've gone to the local college and had my hair dyed, bleached and frosted more than once and they always do much better than the expensive salons and for a tenth of the cost. I went to expensive salons 3 times this year - wasn't happy with 2 of them and the one I liked went out of business. Tried the college and am happy every time I go there. They try harder to make you happy. And manicures for $2 and pedicures for $3... love that! Anyway, so I was going to see if we could get a couple of the girls from the school to come up to Raleigh for us.

David's Bridal is a zoo... and totally non-helpful with the event so I won't shop there again. I found mine in the newspaper at a fraction of the cost. But... now I have to alter it, which I maybe could've avoided if I bought it at a store and found a size smaller and shorter to begin with. I'm 5'9"... I've never in my life had to alter anything because it was too long. Always had to deal with everything too short and looking like I'm walking around avoiding floods. lol.
