Dress Shopping Adventures

Wedding dress shopping is a serious endeavor. I spent the day today looking at gowns online, trying to figure out what to do for bridesmaid dresses, and rethinking my color choice. On top of that I had 3 phone meetings with folks at work, and a massive headache. I think I'm going to make a list of ladies I'd like to bounce wedding dress ideas off of and send out a few links to see if I can narrow down my selection of dresses. One of the dresses I'm looking at is gorgeous, and it fit really well, but it's $800... I don't know if I really want to spend that much.

I was also looking on Minneapolis Craig's List for reception decorations. Found a few things to show John when he gets a spare minute.


I thought taking Blixi for a walk would help with the headache, but it didn't. She's been pretty well-behaved today but has been biting me for attention. I clipped her nails and she fought with me, but now she seems a little more compliant. It's been much warmer today than it was over the weekend, up over 55.

I got the plane tickets for our trip to California over Thanksgiving last night. We're going to fly in and out of LAX, and have a rental car while we are there, leaving on Wednesday and coming home on Monday. The tickets were almost $100 cheaper for Monday. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope that the wildfires die down before we have to do any driving out there or we could have some really nasty detours. I'm looking forward to going though.

The fires are almost out and will not be a problem.
About wedding dresses, I can not help you any as dresses are not my area of expertise.
I hope that you get your car rental as soon as possible. It is the busiest weekend of the year for travel. I am glad that you atleast got in and out of LAX when you are doing...
Take good care and we will see each other soon.

I got the car rental confirmed, and I am hoping that by going in to LAX we are saving a little time as well as money.
