Have you looked at ebay? Maybe you should call that girl who is transforming muumuus and see if she can do one for you ;)

Discovered today that apparently 5 cups of coffee is my limit.  [smiley=sick.gif] I feel gross and shakey! Why do I do these things?

I know the feeling, I have a wedding to go to in a week and I have NOTHING to wear...I can't find anything that will fit on a tight budget and the sad thing is that in the past 3 months I've lost 3 stone...and I still have 5 more stone to lose before I can get back to what I weighed before my daughter.

I think DH will be attending alone  :\\\'(

Have you tried ebay? I am the ebay bargain queen for  plus size clothing.
Just search "dress and your size" and auctions only, you can normally pick something cool up for under £10, I got a great Anna Scholz vintage style lace and black dress for £9 the other day and it looks great over a red petticoat.

My poos DS had another blow out at school today. I can feel the displeasure emanating off the teacher's aide but the rest of the staff are taking it in stride (he's got a medical condition so they can't get nasty about it).
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Got called a snob by my closest friends because of my political beliefs. Got told that all Muslims hate the guts of all Jewish people. Got told that Pakistanis hate Jewish people. Apparently because I disagree with such statements, I'm a snob. For the sake of not creating a scene and upsetting the mood of a light-hearted going-away party for a friend, I shut my mouth. I was so upset that I knew if I started to say anything it would have been shouted. I know one day I will sit down with these friends and calmly explain that I find their statements to be ignorant, but right now, I wish I had said something then.

These are the same friends that I went to a pro-gay rights rally with and yet they say such hateful things about an entire religion and people?!

Not to mention all of this negative and sick talk about the mosque to be built near ground zero already has me depressed. Reminds me of when I was in the UK and people were talking about banning the burqa  :\\\'(

It seems they are the snobs.  They are the one turning their noses up at entire races of people based on a blanket statement.  And blanket statements are never true.

Just know that you are the wise one in the group.  They are still stuck in that tribal mentality of US vs. Them and it is very unproductive and not at all conducive to peace and understanding.

I know because my dad is like this and gets very heated if I show even the tiniest drop of disagreeing with him.  :(

My IA is very trivial today.  The gloves that come with the hair color I use are now *huge*!  This means it's hard not to get dye on your face around the hairline with those giant clown fingers flopping around.  Maybe they realized more men are buying their products now?  :-\\\\

Nervous about finding a job.  Looking at my finances, I could really use one, and soon!

Went to bed at 11:30 after a ridiculously difficult night restocking my bar- and now I'm super awake and cannot sleep. Boo.

Third time aspiration was not a charm... it was twice as bad as the first time without a local again.  [smiley=bigcry.gif] I thought I would die. And it was too thick to come out, so I need to have it done again on Tuesday.  :\\\'( Might need surgery soon.  :-[
