Desperation

That was my state of mind when I couldn't find the right shade of canary yellow and champaign for those damn prom dresses.  I thought I bought the right shade, but when I showed them they told me they wanted a slightly different color (good thing I checked before actually starting to make the dresses).  But once I found the right colors, wa la, everything started to move at a much quicker pace.

I managed to get both of the dresses draped before starting my hectic weekend filled with walking the 5K for breast cancer (which by the way, I managed to completely walk) and lots of preparing for the surprise mothers day party my friend threw for her mother.  I was surprised how much I got done this weekend considering how exhausted I felt.

Believe it or not, I have both the dresses sewn in muslin (and if you don't know what that means look it up), and I am waiting for them to come try them on.  If they fit properly, then I can get started on making them out of the canary yellow satin and champaign taffeta (and not to mention the never ending supply of tulle that has filled up half my living room).

I think I am moving at a pretty fast pace, but I won't keep be able to keep moving so quickly for much longer.  A guy from management came to see us today and told us that if we move to the new apartment upstairs by the end of this week, then we'll get a discount for this months rent (we had no objections because discounts are always welcomed).  I also have to get a new car this week because the sooner I get it, the less chance there is that I'll spend the money I received from the accident to get a new car.  What am I planning to get?  I have no idea.

I feel like a squirrel right now.  I'm wired on so much coffee right now it's insane.
