Posting Once Every Month is Totally Okay...

1. Today my mom, aunt and I shopped for NINE hours. Nine. Hours. Straight. Ouch, my feet. They hurt. We were on a quest for a Mother of the Bride Dress. We had zero luck. We went to, in this order:

Stardust
Willow Bend (Neiman's, Saks, Ann Taylor Loft) (ok that last one was for me, not the MOB!)
Terry Costa
Lunch break at Chili's
Galleria (Neiman's, Saks, Macy's)
The store in Addison where I got my dress
BACK to Willow Bend for Macy's and Dillards
Michaels (for wedding crafty items)

Whew. We found NOTHING we liked. Not even one "maybe". It was disheartening and also exhausting!

2. Yesterday we got our very first wedding gift!! It showed up on Mark's doorstep, in all its Crate and Barrel glory.

3. So today I bought a big ol' stack of thank you cards.

4. Tomorrow we are crafting up some moss balls. Should be interesting!

5. The bridal diet is not going well. One great week is often followed up by 3 straight days or completely negating all that was good. Le sigh. Starting over tomorrow, again!

Five great things right now:

1. Gossip girl and a free Chickfila dinner (yay for Free Kids Meal coupons)
2. A memo from the Headmaster on a job well done
3. An official date on the calendar to officially go look at dresses
4 Freshly painted nails, with no smudges!
5. New fall boots, in the mail on their way to my feet
