I am so jealous... a babysitter AND a red dress? Lovely!

its a once a year babysitter. and he got the red dress for my birthday on clearance. (the credit card bill said it was $45 or so, therefore, I'm assuming its like a $150 dress or so.) I really love it. I'll see if we can get someone to take our picture :-)

I'm still worried that something will go wrong though ... I will of course have my phone with me for the entire evening, just in case. hopefully Ben won't try to attack the baby with lighter fluid and matches!

Wow! A formal event - how fun! Don't forget to take pictures! Are you getting each other corsages? Cuz you should.

ha ha ha. no, we can barely afford the babysitter. (they don't take credit cards you know.) we will do what we can about the pictures though.

:( Not even paypal? Lame!

I guess you could make some out of junk mail, you know, in your free time.

OK, all together now; one, two, three! I WANT MORE FREE TIME!

at first i was really confused. make some money? some credit cards? some paypal? (it would be AWESOME, btw, if the babysitter took paypal. it didn't occur to me to ask her) but then i finally decided you were talking about the corsages. make flowers out of junk mail? that's a lot craftier than I am capable of becoming, regardless of my quantity of spare time.

Luck! We want pictures of you in your hot red dress ;-)

P.S. Jerry has promised me a new dress. I'm really excited by the idea of shopping for one. And shopping doesn't usually excite me.

i can't say i've ever seen you wear a dress, other than the obvious one. :-)
