Tuesday

Lauren's dress was going so well yesterday, that when I got to the zipper, I just stopped. Zippers have always given me trouble, although the last time I did them went better, because I, you know, followed the directions. Amazing what a difference that makes. But I was still a little intimidated. For the record, both velveteen and taffeta are not that hard to work with, but they both ravel like crazy. The pinking shears are my friends on this one!

So I'm going to call my mom and have her give me some tips/walk me through it first thing this morning. It'll be the third such call on this project, and those calls have really helped.

Then we'll head to the library and shoe shopping for the girls. I told Sarah that maybe they could get red shoes instead of black, and she was thrilled, heh.

I didn't get any cookies made yesterday, because it was a snow day, so dance class was canceled. The whole point of getting the cookies done was to take some to dance teachers. We'll see if class runs today. If it does, I'll try to get at least a few done. If it's canceled again, they're out of luck.

Sarah has Brownies tonight, and hopefully I can go shopping after I drop her off. But since Jeff is likely to be working late all this week, I might just bring Lauren home again. He got home about an hour late last night, but by doing this, he's more likely to be able to stay home all next week. It's a worthwhile trade off for all of us.
