Guess What

Well... the dress doesn't fit.  It laced up fine and didn't gap in the back, but the waist hit me about 6 inches above where my waist actually is.  With the boning in the top, it was really uncomfortable - couldn't breathe kind of uncomfortable.  Size 4s are not made for people who are 5'10".  So now I'm scrambling to try to find something else.  I think I'm going to call the personal shopper at the Nordstrom in Denver and see if she can help me.  My mom's SO (boyfriend just doesn't seem like the right term) is in Denver on business this week and he could go by and pick it up.  I'm a little leery of ordering another dress, but I also don't have time to drive to Denver for a shopping expedition and the weather is supposed to get really bad this weekend.  I love shopping when things go right, but hate it when you need something specific and can't find a damn thing that works.

On a happier note, I finished my first sock last night.  The toe is a little pointy, but that's what the pattern called for, so I'm guessing that's how it's supposed to look.  I really like the colors and it seems like it would fit someone who has slightly larger feet than I (i.e. Stacy).  I told her that I was making them for her and she's really excited.  I hope I can get the second one done by the weekend so I can get them sent off to her (and so I can start on my KAL cardigan).

I finally ordered the Phildar Tendancies Spring 2005 magazine.  Adele has the magazine and has posted lots of pictures on her blog, all of which look like great projects.  Especially this one.Isn't it the cutest thing?  I want to make it after I finish the KAL cardigan because I think I'll be able to still wear it some this year (it won't get warm here until the end of May, and than only in the day).  How long does it take to get something from Canada?  I think it was shipped yesterday.  Do you think I'll have it before next Thursday?

I was very sad to hear the news that Chris LeDoux  died yesterday of complications related to cancer.  Wyoming, the sport of rodeo, and country music lost an icon and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.  His death makes me really think about living life to the fullest and doing what makes you happy, rather than what other people think you should be doing, because you just never know what's going to happen.  Life's short, be happy.

Have a great day.
