As my vacation comes to an end...
That's right - only one more day left of my vacation. Though it stinks that I can't sit around and do a whole lot of nothing anymore, I will be glad to go back to work. I start having withdrawals. I have, however, been able to cross some more important things off of my list. And tomorrow I will be able to hit most of the ones that have not been completed. So I do feel very good about that. Otherwise, here are a few updates on my most exciting life :)
First and foremost,
This is the front of the dress.
And the back...
I found it at White House Black Market. I am still a little unsure of it - mainly just because I think it may be a bit TOO formal. I think I feel that way because the back trails the ground where it fishtails. I think I am going to remove the brooch on the front of the dress which will help a little to play it down a little. Now I just need to pick up some shoes and possibly a night bag and some jewelry. That'll be a breeze though. They had all of those things at WHBM last night. I think I'll go back and get the accessories there. But the shoes - they weren't all that exciting so I'm thinking some fabulous gold ones that strap up the ankles or something in a fun clear slipper type shoe. I don't know.
My next update, I suppose, would be that of
So Gus came over last night for a little bit. I totally ruined the original plan which was that he was to come to my house and cook dinner since I stayed at the MOG so late. By the time I got home he had already eaten. He wasn't going to come over... but then decided to come watch a movie anyway. He brings over this super cheese movie - probably the worst movie I have ever seen. It comes out on DVD in stores next Tuesday... King's Ransom or something stupid. The movie SUCKED so we did get a good laugh out of that. But it was my mission to have the somewhat dreaded conversation with him about what exactly it is that we are doing... where he wants it to go... IF he wants it to go anywhere. You know - THAT kind of conversation. Didn't so much have that conversation. I am not sure what I am more afraid of - rejection or finding out that he really may want MORE. I'm not sure which is more frightening, I guess. Funny - it seems like such a simple conversation to have. Only it's not so simple to have it. So anyway - one thing that was pretty hilarious is that my little ballerina talked him into dancing with her last night. She went and put on her Princess dress and shoes and stuff. And then got out these headbands that she calls her crowns that she only wears when she dances. She made him wear one too. Gus doesn't really like to dance - or doesn't feel like he can... so it was really funny that she made him do it. But what was even more hilarious was the way she was dancing with him. She really had all the moves down from all those movies she has watched and she was doing the Tango with him... was making him spin her all over the place... making him shake his ass... made him dip her... and she was GOOD! My kid is SO gonna show up at the Pink Pony in about 15 years. AHHH! Anyway - here is a picture of Caty and Gus dancing last night with their crowns on. I made a movie too... but it turned out way too dark and you can barely see. Oh - that was the other funny thing - she was dancing to the "Dirty Martini" CD to songs like "Making Whoopee" and she has learned like every word of them! That's the one that she puts in when she wants to dance. SO funny!
