And don't worry about the ankle strap shoes, Amber. Your (c)ankles will be all swelled up in Vegas & they wouldn't have looked right anyway.

yep. I saw that when I tried them on! hehehehe. I've always played Acne, but if that bothers you, you can be Pouty....

So are we all on the same f*cking cycle? Seriously?

Oh, this is gonna be tons of fun.

Anyone else bringing Aunt Flo with them?

Same here Paula.

Same here. I actually realized it as I was typing that message!

You know it's a mental stretch but, if I have it now, then I'll have it then.

Ah well, what can you do?

Well, the worst that came out of this is you have to go shopping again!

WOOT!

Aunt Flo (that bitch) is gone, my skin's clearing up & I don't feel quite as chubby

Now, how to keep in from happening again in 4 weeks...

I should have known to go to NY & Co. first, since that's where I get most of my clothes in general.

I found some great tops, including a dark brown sheer tank with rust-colored beading on the neckline for Vegas. Plus I got coupons to use the week before the shows so I can get a few more things. I feel so much better now.

Here are pics of the shirt. The beading didn't really show up too well in the pic, but oh well. I have my new watch on too (Walmart special

) Please disregard the pastey white skin, slouchy posture, flabby arms, lack of makeup, ass girth, etc. I promise I'll look better in Vegas.

Wow that is a really cool shirt! That is something I could wear! It isn't spagetti straps, or a halter or anything, and it's still really cute. Love the beading.

Very pretty, Paula!!! And? You look just fine. good, in fact. Oh, and in other news, it looks like we could share clothes if we wanted....

Oh, guess what? I just jumped rope for 40 mins! hope to do it nearly every day. Maybe I, too, could lose weight before Vegas....

course, this means I have to do yoga tonight, if I want to walk tomorrow...but that is good, as well.

Thanks!

And you're right, we can share clothes! You have to promise to give back my wooden roller skate sandals when I say, though.

BTW - jump rope for 40 MINUTES? Holy crap!

Well, jump for awhile, then rest for like, 30 seconds. No, not the entire time. My calves are sore, but not the rest of me, which is a good sign. Of course I'll give them back! Are they a size 8?

They're not marked (being made of wood & all, lol) but I usually wear an 8 & they fit me great.

I have attempted blades in the past.

It did not work out very well. I have a slight problem with coordination & balance, so I stay away.

I love blading but I have a problem with stopping so I can't blade where cars go. One time I had to stop myself by grabbing a stop sign which nearly tore my hand open.

It is funny looking back on it but at the time it was.

That was the last time I bladed in a high traffic area!

Paula, I forgot you have those roller sandals, so cool! Also, I think your top is cute, I like the neckline.

I just purchased a new shirt at Neiman Marcus... it was a tad more then I would normally spend on a shirt... or a car payment! It was the most I have ever spent on one item of clothing, but I justified it by saying that it was my new shirt for one of the Las Vegas shows and everyone has to look fabulous. Even Stevie said so! "Plan your outfit now" I believe she said

Now I just need some pants to go with it... and some shoes too. I really want some black boots like the kind Lindsey wore during the SYW tour. Anyone know anything about those shoes? Everyone talks about Stevie and her shoes but I really want some info on Lindsey's.
