No Big Black Moment

Okay, I knew this trip to England was coming. I knew I had to go shopping for a black dress. So why did I wait until NOW? I spent most of the afternoon going from one shop to another searching for the perfect funeral dress. I found some clingy cocktail dresses, which won't do for this but would be great for a date! I found some beautiful suit-type outfits. Of course, nothing that would be absolutely perfect for the trip to England came in my size. Who knew that after losing 16lbs I'd still be stuck between two sizes? I did manage to get a bunch of stuff I needed for the trip, though, and I've done some more school work tonight. But now I need to leave work right on time tomorrow and venture out again in search of a black dress in which to honor my grandfather. With only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to go, I'm cutting it awfully close. Wish me luck!

You might have better luck at a shop in England - just a thought! (If you have time to shop after you get there, of course, which you probably don't, come to think of it. Well, I tried!)

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. But congrats on the weight loss - being stuck between two *smaller* sizes is a good problem to have!

I hope you have a peaceful trip, and a nice celebration of your grandfather's life.

I haven't checked your blog for a while... sorry for your loss.

Good luck finding that perfect black dress, but I'm sure you will.

You might want to take that clingy thingy along, for after the celebration.

Thanks, Kerry and Gary. I did manage to find a dress and a short, dressy raincoat to wear over the short-sleeved dress.

Gary, I smiled at the comment about taking the clingy thingy. Thanks!
