As promised, I went to a bridal salon to day to check out some formals because I really really have an itch to get a new gown!

I found one that I thought was pretty and looked good on me, even though my flabby arms would be exposed! It didn't have as much bling as I wanted though. I thought about many of you as I was staring at the mirror, and I might have to agree that the arms are
less noticeable with a good looking dress on. Anyways, it was slightly above my budget, so I had her write the style down for me in case I decide to go back. I'm still not sure about the princess ball gown I have my eyes on on eBay. It's SO stunning, but I'm still not sure it would be a better look on me than the one I tried on today. My mom and grandmother will give me an honest opinion, so since I'll see them later this week, I'm holding off. Thankfully I/we still have a little time to procrastinate!
Speaking of going up north to see DM and DGM....
Since it's officially Tuesday, I can say that tomorrow I have my mini DIS Meets with Kimberly aka Kimmy!!!

I'm really looking forward to it!
Sadly, I'm finding myself skimming more and more. I hope I haven't missed anything too significant!
Excellent! I've also tucked these details away with my growing facts sheet!
I have to share this with the group, Amy. A couple of us from our DIS Meets were (not literally) placing bets between one another that Dave would propose to Amy while they were at WDW MONTHS before September ever came around. In fact, we thought that maybe it would happen earlier in the year when Amy and her family went to WDW, so we were on the edge of our keyboards waiting to hear if it happened. No news meant it didn't. So for certain, we just KNEW it was going to happen right before the cruise or even ON the cruise.
Well I was at WDW for the week prior the cruise with no internet access, so I knew I wouldn't find out until we got to Port Canaveral. The night before the cruise, several families all got together for dinner at Grills. I found out then about Amy and Dave's exciting news!!! I just couldn't wait to see them!
So on Saturday morning, as you all know, you're just so anxious to meet everyone in person!! One of our DISers, Denise, who had many exchanges of PMs with me about our bets, sees me for the first time and comes running to me in the terminal saying "THEY DID IT!! THEY DID IT, AND I BROUGHT A COPY OF OUR PMs TO SHOW HERE WE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS!!!"
OMG! Amy and Dave were our own celebrities!!

Everyone was so thrilled for them!! So I'm walking around the port looking for her, and when I see her, she throws her arms out for a big hug and says "KIMBERLYYYYYY!!! I'm so happy to see you!" Although the hug was great, I just wanted to see the RING!
Sending prayers your DBIL's way. Can I also just say that the maturity of this 16 year old nephew is amazing? He's wishing you the best of summers after he just got his dad into an ambulance. God love him!
What?!!! Now I know you didn't miss the Spanx chats!

Go get your Spanx at QVC
Ummmm. Yeah. That last sentence is not at all what I would expect from a CM.
Funny!
Oh Steffi! You just know how to make me smile! I'm so impressed that you are so fluent with English and that you keep teaching us! Chipmunks, squirrels....you knew Chip 'N Dale were some little critter! Kuddos to you for even attempting to translate!
I got mine on Saturday as well!
Well at least you are going in the right direction! I hope the meds will relieve some of this pain. So sorry it's taking this long!
Oh thank you so much for forwarding, and Eusébia, if you are still lurking, THANK YOU for sharing!! This indeed gets me very excited to go and experience another culture!
Awe! It will be alright, mom! He is indeed a handsome guy and looks pretty happy to go on his adventure! Keep us posted if you hear any news from him about their trip!
Oh geesh. *sigh* Well thankfully you'll see the specialist really soon and not have to wait any longer.
I *so* agree with you on the abuse of ERs. It's abused on so many levels.
Hey there!!!

Glad you've chimed in!
