H is going fishing on Saturday (leaving at 5:30 am), I'm taking DS to get his hair cut and maybe hang out with bff and her son for a while.
Sunday H is going shooting with FIL, and I will probably be home scaling Mt. Laundry and cleaning. Maybe if he gets home early enough I will go do something, but It should be a pretty quiet weekend.
We're planning on going downtown for the weekend. We're thinking we'll go to a baseball game and maybe go to a distillery. I'm hoping the weather improves!
Maybe a yummy birthday dinner tonight if I am done with my sewing projects for tomorrow. Saturday I will be setting up at the HRC gala and then working the event and then drinking champagne! I think it will be a great event/evening. Sunday will probably involve some family birthday stuff like eating food and cake.
I'm currently pushing someone who generally doesn't go to graduation to come this year so I have company. DH is not going (because he doesn't want to but also now because our babysitters are unavailable that day) so I am going solo but I don't want to be sitting at a table all by my lonesome.
Also, I need an outfit to wear--it's a casual event, but I want to look nice--so figure like gap, ll bean or j crew-ish casual. I found a dress I like online but I am scared to pull the trigger on it because they don't have the color I want and I am afraid it'll make me look huge. HALP! I am planning on working out 4-5 days week leading up to it, so I will probably be down a size but still--need to find something flattering for a busty gal with full hips.
OOOH! Mel! Did you finish your gown?? I want to see the finished product! I was thinking about this last night as I was working on my dress...
Also, I'm completely jealous of motzie's spa day.
My gown just needs to have the lining hemmed. It is mostly done. I will make sure that I get pictures tomorrow! I am hemming my friends gown right now. I ended up making hers too. I started on Monday so it it pretty much all I've been doing.

Thanks cuddly! PIP the dress you have in your cart. Do you have a budget? I love shopping for others.
Okay. You guys have sold me :-) I'm going down a size because the reviews are trending toward it being a bit big (Plus I'm going hardcore with my exercise and calorie tracking). I'm ordering it now.
Those are from payless? Hmm...may have to go by the store when the dress arrives, I ordered it in blue so I don't know if the black will work. Plus my feet are ugly (thanks Dad!).

Next question: what kind of shoes?
Are you looking for a flat or a wedge or heel? My first thought was a wedge sandal. Maybe something like this. In pewter?
