Watch out OH

In less than 24 hours, I'm gonna be responsibility-free for 5 whole days!  I'm taking off out of Manchester at 9AM to meet some friends in OH, go to a pagan festival, and go to a Ren faire before flying home Monday.  I'll tell ya...in the last about 24 hours its been REALLY clear I need a break!  I'm sooo grateful to HG taking over with the girls and having a good enough job that we can afford to do this!  My suitcase is almost all packed, I've already checked in and printed boarding passes, printed out the hotel confirmation, and I'll finish packing after we get home from dance tonight.  This is gonna be GOOOOD!!!  And since I won't be driving any time while we're there....I plan on feeling no pain for much of the time, and stuffing myself...my diet will be here when I get back.

Backless Dresses

So HG has put in his order...for his company's Christmas party, he wants me to wear a backless dress.  So I've been looking online at different dresses, and I'm having fun imagining it.  (The thought of having to wear one of those pasties bras isn't very fun though....and there's absolutely NO WAY I would think about going without...post-nursing sag is all I'll say.)

Some of the dresses Ive been looking at:

So what do you all think?  Which one?  (Oh, I just colored my hair a pretty mahogany this past weekend too.)

Saving money...NOT!

So we thought that since LK had a princess backpack (albeit not a regular sized one), that was one less thing we had to buy for kindergarten...which she started last Thursday.  Her snack container (I could only get Tinkerbell in the little square zippered ones) took up the majority of the space, but I figured no big deal.  I couldn't see them giving her much else to have to bring home, homework or otherwise.  WRONG!  Theres a regular sized plastic covered folder that she carts back and forth every day that contains      communications to us and from us to the teachers (which has to be bent to get it in), and then today she had to bring in a stuffed animal for show and tell too.  I don't know HOW she managed to fit it in, but she did.  (It helped that it was just a beanie baby bear we got at the fair this past weekend.)  Off to the store I go...as soon as my nails finish drying.  Tonight's dancing, and I needed to either fix my manicure or do a new one.  Since the polish was wearing off more on some nails than others, I opted to go from lavender nails to a deep rose.  Oh...and I should go switch out the laundry before I go too.  (SHOULD, yes...WILL...???)
