This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

That is Liese taking up Nilly's refrain.

Network outages have hit the midwest, or at least they have if you're me. This means I can't do any work, and instead get to stew in my own emo.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Last week here. Butterflies in my stomach. I have so much cleaning up and packing to do.

Like people are going to be whispering, "Sleeveless? In September? What WAS she thinking???"

There's a rule about sleeveless?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

CV!! Hi!! My sister is getting married a week after you, but since she's in Vegas and not Maine, her sleeveless dress won't raise any eyebrows.

I'm waiting for the cross-stitch supplies I ordered to be delivered, so I can get started on her wedding present (one of those "United in Marriage [Man] and [Woman] on [Date]" things).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My one concern about September is that I already bought my dress, and it is very much a summer dress, not a fall dress.

Shrug. I mean if it bothers you that it's sleveless or if you think you'll be cold. I tend to think though that wedding and formal wear aren't terribly seasonal. They're not summer or winter; they're event.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That is Liese taking up Nilly's refrain.

Ha! Well, Nilly's busy with Passover, probably, so I live to serve.

eta: Although, man, I have been a little bundle of life-sucking cloud lately. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some leaking out and taking over the weather system.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

September is close enough to summer that I don't see how it could possibly matter, unless it's outdoors and you'll be freezing cold, in which case just add some kind of shrug or capelet or something, just as DJ said.

Though, to be absolutely certain of the best possible advice (and also give you sixty jillion links to eighty kerbrillion made-of-awesome shoulder-covering options), we should probably see pictures.
