my eyes!
Rule numbah one of friendship with moi. If I'm shopping for clothes I would never, ever, EVER wear on my own because some function of yours requires me to break out of my strange little clothing world, you do not get to pour the nearest shaker of salt in the wound and ask my size. *sniffle* It's rude. Or something. Also, when the you in question has a big mouth, we don't really go throwing around numbers like that. Mmkay?
Now, because it wouldn't be fair to bitch without props, we'll move on to that. I should point out that I really should have buckled down and done this earlier. However, I'm lazy, and also, I hate dress shopping when it needs to be done. Example? Yesterday I was distracted by all sorts of dresses that would be completely no help for this at all. Enough that I was thinking, "Hmm, $112 isn't too bad for such a lovely... wait, damn it! Bridesmaid dress first."
That is the color she's chosen. It's not so bright in the catalogue, but since I will be unable to duplicate it because it's bright effing purple, and also from David's Bridal which I will not shop at due to various issues, the least of which being if you treat me like you don't care that I'm there, when I actually want/need your help, I would rather shop elsewhere and pay more for that than go back to the evil. And they are evil. So. Where were we before I rant-i-fied?
Yeah. The color. Honestly, not a great color for me, I'm thinking. I'm not pale enough to work it properly, and I'm far too big to not have some weird eggplant moment. Which I could live with, if I honestly thought I could duplicate the color for a dress elsewhere. Seriously, the bride wants some wonky color, I'm there. I reserve the right to point out that orange is just cruel, but I wore one of the least flattering colors ever for Ari's wedding and I offer the same to Cass. [I know, how great is it that I'm willing to say, "I'll look like crap for your wedding, too!"?]
That is the current dress I'm rather taken with. I don't know if it's a piss poor idea and I'm latching onto it as that's what I do, or if it's actually a decent idea. Thing is, it'll involve either breaking rule numero uno of bridal shopping [thou shalt not shop online for your dress!] or... finding either of the two stores that are listed as options. Meh. But I like it. For now. Naturally, it doesn't seem to come in any color even CLOSE to bright effing purple. Various shades of purple, yes, but not bright, my eyes are bleeding, please, I'll do anything if you just step into the shadows purple.
When I mentioned that maybe "regency" would be a bit of a bitch to match, she then came back with "do you think you'd look good in silver or a dark silver?"
The sound you heard and possibly thought was something falling? My head met the desk. Repeatedly. See? There I go again. Owwie.
Meh. The dog chewed through the phone line so I have to make sure I buy another one the next time I go to Target. Or maybe work has the right length. I have the AC cranked up too high, so I'm gonna go to bed now that I'm nice and frozen. And for those paying attention at home, I did inquire about the paycheck malfunction. In an attempt to fix it, another error was made, so I have to wait until tomorrow for the fix. I'm also weird and reminded of this because when I briefly explained the "I, uh, seem to be missing a day?" situation, I ended with a joking, "Don't kill me." Which I think came out "don't hit me" but still joking. Yeah, apparently I'm still the only person who finds threats of violence funny. Come on, people, funny...? Meh.
Remind me that I need more work shirts. The kicker about that, is that if I'm still around come this fall, they'll be giving us uniform shirts. Like photo gets to wear, only not yellow.
Cass seems to have died, so really, time to read some Dresden and sleep. Wait! Jackie's due in early September and they think it's another girl. Now I'm gone.

I'm glad I'm not delusional about the second dress. Thank you! :D
