Puzzles I'd rather not put together...


About 2 weeks ago, Jonathan came home saying that we were going to get to go to a benefit Gala at the end of October and that it was a Black Tie affair. Of course the first thing that I thought of was what is a 6 month pregnant woman supposed to wear without spending a ton of money?? So I began searching for something appropriate and affordable. Suprisingly, I found something I thought would be perfect at Motherhood. I was hesitant to buy it, not knowing exactly what others would be wearing. I put it on hold and Jonathan and I went back that evening to look at it. He approved and we purchased it, knowing we only had 10 days to return it if we happened to not be able to go to the event. Later the next week, Jonathan told me we might not be going, since the shareholders where he works (the doctors) get first choice. A few days later he was 99.9% sure we were going. (Our 10 days to return the dress were going by fast.) Over the weekend, Jonathan assured me we were going and he tore up the receipt. :-) Then this Monday he found out he has to go to a conference in Washington D.C. that weekend and we wouldn't get to go. :-( Monday was the 10th day (the last day to take back the dress). BUT the receipt was in pieces in the trash, along with several other receipts (about 10). I got all the receipt pieces out and began searching for pieces that looked like the right one. It didn't take as long as you might think. The woman at Motherhood thought I was crazy, but that's OK. :-)

It's ok to think that this is funny, right? I mean, this is something that would be posted on my blog. =)

So sorry you couldn't go to the affair. It would have been fun, I'm sure. There will always be another time.
Love,
