[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
One of the girls grew out of it before the dress even got to her.
Oh. My.
My SIL saw beautiful dresses that she wanted for her wedding. Then she designed exactly what she wanted and my mom and her mom sewed them all. I think the dresses were $25 worth of fabric each. And gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.
I'm off to nap. I just found out that the festivities don't *start* till 9pm tonight. Since that's my bedtime, I'm thinking a nap before I leave is a good idea.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!1!!
—I mean, damn that's a shame. I really feel for her, you know? This could ruin the entire wedding.
Wait, there's more than one flower girl wearing this expensive dress?
Wow.
I was watching some show about out of control weddings & out of control relatives of the bridal couple. One wedding had bridesmaids, jr bridesmaids, flower girls, and ring bearers. The bride sister was seriously pissed off becuase the bride wouldn't let her niece be a jr bride.
That's right junior bride.
I don't what that is exactly but it seemed like the sister was treating the wedding like a beauty pagent rather than a marriage ceremony.
That would be a way easy dress to make, for way less than $270.
Susan, is your neighbor with a little girl a SAHM? You might also consider exploring her caring for Annabel - it would certainly be simpler and more convenient, and probably cheaper, than a center. Even if you didn't want to do it long-term, it might be a good short-term solution if you are temping irregularly or waiting to get into a center. And if she's not a SAHM, you could ask her for advice on local child care.
By the way, if Plei or anyone wants advice from one experienced in the trenches of nanny-sharing, I am your woman. It has great advantages and some dis- also.
I need a concensus on what "Light Snacks" means.
In my opinion, right now? Light snacks means pizza and subs, or whole maine lobsters, or whatever the hell you feel like eating.
Also, I had no idea B was COMPLETELY PSYCHO.
Flea, what are the main disadvantages?

My brother had a miniature bride at his wedding. And a miniature groom.
The bride had a 6YO nephew who really bonded with my brother, and they wanted to put him in the wedding. So they made him mini-groom. And, to come up with a mini-bride, they drafted mini-groom's 3YO cousin.
Mini-bride was getting pretty cranky by the time post-ceremony photos ended.
Yep, my neighbor is a SAHM, but she's having another baby in November, so I'm thinking this probably isn't the time she wants to take on a kid pretty much halfway between her first and second in age. Of course, a few months in once the newbie isn't so new, it might be easier. Also, when Annabel is a little older, she'll be able to play with Alexandra, and maybe then they could amuse each other and make things easier for C and the new kid. I'll ask her.
