Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

zuisa, If you don't mind telling us a size, we can probably have you outfitted by this evening.

I ated some protein and am feeling more human.

zuisa, I recommend finding a macy's coupon somewhere (newspaper, online, there always seems to be one) and hitting up their clearance dress racks in the store--they usually have tons of stuff on clearance, and you can score some deals. Plus, all the dresses they had for Christmas parties will now be on sale!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

zuisa - macy's has a great petite section, and being 5'2 i find looking for formal wear outside petite departments to be an exercise in futility and misery as nothing ever hangs right. If there's a Nordstrom rack near you sometimes they have great finds. I've also had occasional luck at Sears and JC Penney. long enough? spendy but pretty

can you toss a nice jacket or bolero over the strapless dress you have?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, I've gotten the tree and ornaments put away, the carpet swept, pre-snowpacalypse groceries bought, and dishes dealt with. Now I'm trying to decide if I should do a load of laundry tonight. Eh, probably. I'd rather vicariously shop for formal wear.

They've pre-emptively cancelled school for tomorrow - it's not showing yet, but there's a big storm coming and it will snow/sleet all day. The kids did that high-pitched screaming thing and ran around the house when I told them.

HA! no.

flea, lucky? you. I am thrilled that the snow did not happen here, did not even want a delayed start.
