I hold in my hands 2 tickets to the brigade ball. wth?
I got a call from my lovely husband at about 8:30 this morning, with him telling me that he was getting our tickets to the ball (well actually the commander had already paid for him a ticket and he was getting mine). I immediently went into panic mode. I had given up my half-hearted search for a gown because I thought we had decided not to go. Now I'm sitting here wondering how in the hell I am supposed to find an evening gown in 2 days. The only place I have looked is goodwill, and they either had size 4-6 (too small) or 14 (too big). I don't know what I'm going to do. Lucky for me, not 30 minutes later Ireane calls me up and asks if I want to go shopping with her and Ireane, who are both looking for the same thing. I don't think Ireane is going to the ball, which depresses me because she's like the only person I hang out with. But Amanda is pretty cool too, and she is going. Anyway, we are going all over san antonio looking for gowns. Its off season, which means if we find something it should be cheap. But it also means pickings will be slim. And my husband can forget me finding anything with sleeves. I'll be lucky to find something with straps at all. The only other choice I have is to wear the bridesmaid dress I have from Candice's wedding, and get one of those skinny suits from walmart to wear under it. lol Honestly, if I don't find something today, I'm screwed.
I was thinking earlier today how dissapointed I was that we werent going to the ball. But hell, that didn't mean I wanted to suddenly get a phonecall saying I HAVE to go and I HAVE to find a dress in 2 days. 2 day's notice on this kind of event is simply not sufficient. I wish my mom and sister were here to help me look and get me ready. Pray Mama. Pray real hard. lol
