Peachie dear, but I had to take DD to the big city to get her new teeth
Oh my gosh, she looks so, je ne sais pas -- feminine! They gave her retainers that are like those Invisalign braces -- just clear little things. They also let her keep her braces (gross), which impressed her just as much as her teeth. Get this: she commented that she was surprised at how
big her teeth are (while I was thinking just the opposite) -- I guess she's had braces on for so long, she hasn't really seen her mouth with all her permanent teeth!
Anyway, she looks gorgeous, and I went and sprang for a way-too-fancy dress for the Christmas dance tomorrow (lucky for me it was marked down almost 1/2). I will try to post a pic at some point, but right now my digital video camera isn't working, so it could be a while. The dress is spaghetti strap, full length, silver twinkly fabric and it has lacing partway down the sides. I think I must be crazy. If she were a year or two older, I would be afraid for her virtue, but this'll be another group dancing thing I'm quite sure.
We got almost all our out-of-town Chr. shopping done today, too. Most of it in Bed Bath and Beyond. That was fun. Trudging around the mall wasn't much of a treat, but it was worth it.
Hope little puppy has a good home, Wab. Surely you'll see it now and then? I don't blame you for getting attached. My dog's breeder just had a litter several weeks ago and they were not all spoken for. I wanted one so badly, but fortunately I have so far refrained from going to see them. She lives a long way from here, which is good. I hope you like that laminate floor. That is what I would like in my kitchen, but I have doubts whether I will ever get anything in there. I love the look of many of the Pergo colors, and some of the other brands are really nice too. I actually have contemplated getting cork flooring too. Apparently it is more resilient and just as hardy, amazingly. Oh well, dream on.
Happy St. Nick's, Sugar and family!! Hope it was fun. I bought a tambourine for one of my nephews today. I don't know why, but I have this urge to torture my sister with these things...
Later cowlets
