Ok...ready?

Mission: Bridesmaids dress from a company in china was stuck in customs and the fitting was today and wedding is tomorrow. Okay....

This means I had to work with 2 seperated dresses from the same company in the same color to pick apart and make into a new dress in the same style and try and pass it off as the one that is STILL stuck in customs.

Result: with the bodice just a might stiffer due to another assosiate's mistake in IRONING on interfacing that the other dresses don't contain, all in all a success. Thank goodness because she came in today for a fitting. Not so bad either because she also happens to be a size 4 (hussy), so it wasn't that hard to do, although I have no formal training in pattern making, I'm glad that I had a wonderful staff to basically help me out. Well, I can't take all the credit, we worked as a team and got it done in 2 days. Very cool.

So my other best friend from Utah is getting married next week. I got the invite in the mail yesterday and cried like a little baby. She's so beautiful and they look very happy together. Her and I went through a lot in Provo, and she was one of the coolest friends. I have another friend who got married 2 years ago and is currently having her 2nd child. That too is exciting. I wish I could go down there and be there for her, but I can't even afford to buy milk at this point, which really isn't unusual for me, but it sucks all the same. I know that this time next year, this friend will be making another announcement, and of course I'll cry like a little baby once more. *sigh*

I don't know, I'm not really into the whole getting married thing. I guess it's because I've worked in a bridal store for the last 4 years and have been engaged a few times as well (yeah, yeah, I can tell those who know me are rolling thier eyes now). I don't know what's in store for me as far as marriage is concerned, but I do know that it would be nice to do so before I turn 30. I guess it's just not my thing right now. I could be content just being by myself, but on occasion, on those lonely dark nights, I lay awake and wonder about the man who will finally figure me out, and what he must be doing in his life to find his way in my general direction...or maybe I'm gravitating towards him...who knows?

I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I guess I should get some sleep or something like that. I'll try not to ponder marriage, but when all your friends are doing it, and it's a part of my daily life, it's a subject that finds a way to weedle itself into my brain more often then I'd like. I guess I just have to keep going and have faith that Heavenly Father will show me something, or the way. Hmmmm.......better let that lie for a while, I don't want to jump the gun....again (smirk).

Cheerio!
