I had an unexpected day off today. Lately it feels like I have more time off than I actually work...although when I do work, it's insane. I am going to be so glad when the kids go back to school and the schedule evens out a little bit more. But I digress...I had an unexpected day off, so I decided that the best way to spend the afternoon was searching out a dress for the Army Ball. (Yes, Jamie, Mom, Michelle, & Heather...I am aware the afternoon would have been better spent taking my car in)
Umm...Jesus, I am short. I mean, I knew I was short...but it doesn't really occur to you just how miniature you actually are until you start trying on long dresses. I had to stand on my tip-toes just to see how the dress would look without being pooled at my feet. I found a couple that I kind of liked, but nothing that was like THIS IS IT!! I have a bad feeling that this is going to be a futile process. I was just telling my mom how excited I was because one thing I have always regretted is that I wore short dresses to both proms. Looking back I wished I'd had a long dress, so this is my do-over. I realize now the reason I wore short dresses is probably because every long dress I tried on midgetized me. And to top it off, I can't even wear heels. I mean, I guess I could wear heels, but then I'd be taller than Stewart.
I won't lie though...I'm having fun trying them on. I know the perfect dress is somewhere out there. And then, the next step will be figuring out how to transport it from here to Dallas and Dallas to El Paso without it getting ridiculously wrinkled. Any ideas anyone? LOL
