Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, now I just have to get brave enough to wear that dress without something covering my arms, right? Because I have ... issues about showing my upper arms.

This is my issue with the dress as well. And then I'm generally anti buying something I need to buy something else in order to wear it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I like that idea. Especially since I'm incapable of knitting or crocheting anything.

I shall begin pattern hunting!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am not spending money right now, so I am lucky that it looks like the largest size is a 44" bust, and I have a 46"bust.

I bought a red trixie. They are on back order anyway so it'll take a while. Love turquoise, but I don't need quite that many dresses.

ita, I wish I could link, but she also has beautiful Obi blouses on sale that you might really dig. More expensive than the $34 dress, but still lovely.

Jilli, openwork or solid? Long or short sleeves? able to button in the front or not?

Ooooh. Openwork, mid-length sleeves if possible, and at least 1 button in the front?

And a question for you exercise-y types: do tricep dips actually work for toning a person's upper arms? Is there something more effective I could be doing that doesn't involve having weights around?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

do tricep dips actually work for toning a person's upper arms?

I find they do. I also do the closed-position push-ups (hands together, fingers and thumb forming a diamond-shape) for the upper arms. Oh! Plank position in yoga is good, too.

I can do that as a variant of doing push-ups against a wall, right? Because floor-type push-ups are Not For Me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Could someone please help the nice lady who sometimes skips too much? What is this trixie dress and where can I find it? I need to look and see if I want one.
