Re: What to do in January?

wow, tracy, I looked in all the dept stores for fg dresses under 100. and didn't see any that I liked. Tara- I got mine in a kids store in lindenhurst, zone for kids. they have a nice selection. I got Us Angels. but first I searched on line and found what I liked then called a bunch of stores for prices. mine will come to 125. each.

Alot of the dresses were hideous! I lucked out!! Unfortunatley, The photo I found of the dress doesn't really 'show' the dress. So I will attempt to take a photo & scan it!

Re: What to do in January?

OKAY, since it's the 26th and I dont really forsee doing much else this month, I think I'm ready for my recap

This WAS my January list:

1. Search VERY hard for a hairstylist that can meet my needs and get a trial.

6. Order organza bags for CD favors
7. Bring Len Tuxedo shopping
8. figure out RD plans
9. DIET, DIET, DIET
10. Registry -- UGH


WHAT I DID NOT DO

1. Did not find a hairstylist, but have a couple of leads (thanks wacky )
2. Get Len's mom to pick out a dress ( I wash my hands of this duty b/c she is not cooperating w/the timing)
3. Order organza bags for CDs (oops I forgot)
4. Tuxedo shopping (Len's fault)


THINGS I DID THAT WERE NOT ON MY LIST

1. Asked 2 people to do Bible Readings
2. Bought Unity Candle Holder
3. Bough Cake Server Set
