Invite all to look at my Clippings!
Comments (9)Oh yes, their are a TON more if you click on the link "Rhonda's in Carolina" down second to the bottom. Those of you with dial up this will take a long time to load but has some of the best pictures I've ever seen. I love roses so many or most of them are rose gardens. Either some of these people have some bucks or have just been at it for a VERY long time. Glad your enjoying them. ~Meghan...See MoreNow I regret inviting my friend.....
Comments (29)I think some folk here might be overreacting. I don't know the situation but it sounds to me like you're close friends with this person and she feels close enough to you to make suggestions. I don't see that as being all bad. Does she know how important this is to you the way it's planned? When I invite people, I usually am open to suggestions. However if I am set on how I want to do it then I just say that's how I want to do it. Kind of like when we'd go out to get pizza in a group and one wanted a certain topping on everything, while others didn't want it on there. I just started ordering our own and not put it in the "buffet" and just told others to order what they want. Same thing here. I highly doubt you'd lose a friend over this if you're forthright and I don't think you have to "put your foot down". If you're open and forthright with your friend, if the friendship does break up it doesn't matter that much since if it wouldn't have broken up over this, it'd break up over something equally petty. Suggest you get together somewhere on the trip and go from there. And have a good time....See Moreyou are all invited to my.....pity party!! (long)
Comments (33)Get out your towels..its cryin' time! My trip to the Salvation Army yesterday netted me nothing. Next stop was Goodwill...and I found the Perfect dress...unfortunately it wasn't the perfect size. I was so disappointed when I tried it on! It was a deep cherry-red, short sleeves, with a fullish skirt that fell in soft pleats. The top had the look of a vest, yet dressy looking, it was attached, buttoned down the front and made of some kind of material that looked almost like crochet, but wasn't. It would have been PERFECT! I noted the label "peri petite" and googled it hoping to find that same dress. It was a size 10; I could wear that dress in a size 12. "Peri petite" lead me to a list of scores of places that sell petites, but nowhere did I find that dress. Sizes are screwy anyhow. I have always joked that I can wear a petite, if it is BIG enough. At Penneys etc I can sometimes find a petite14, but not often. I'm short-waisted, narrow shoulders, with the obligatory gut and hips. I looked through my closets and I do have two pairs of nice pants that fit, one sage and the other blue. I have a light rose colored dressy blouse that I can wear with the sage. I'm going out again on Monday to keep looking. Sue, thanks for posting the link; my brain was deflummoxed. Jane, I live in Augusta County, about an hour and a half from Richmond;.I really don't want to tackle that trip and the "big city" right now. Also, my DD doesn't have another day off til this coming Wednesday, and I don't drive distances any more. Thanks for the link to Woman Within. I saw some things there that I liked and they have a petite plus category. I'll go back when I have time and check it out better. Anne, thanks for the offer, that was really sweet. Lu, we don't have a Jonathan Richards here. Lisa, I'll go back to Ross in hopes they have gotten in some new things. You have all been kind and sympathetic, and I appreciate all the suggestions. Keep your fingers crossed. I haven't given up! I will be at the wedding even if I have to go looking like a bag woman!! Sue...See MoreMy invitation...
Comments (27)Well, I guess I've often been the odd man out at the Kt and I suppose today will be no different. If I were you I would realize that there probably are several good woman in that group along with few twits too. Joining wouldn't be fun for you and that's totally acceptable and understandable BUT, you have more to think about than yourself now. YOUR GIRLS. They will most likely be spending time with some of these (womens) kids at school. Making friends with their class as each one enters school. Do you really want to be the home with the mom who spit in the invite or told them off because your feelings were hurt because of a few thoughtless women? I bet you've already considered this and you will for the rest of your childrens days. It's not wrong to stand up for yourself but you have to consider how this situation can raise you or pull you down in the eyes of many other parents. Take the high road and you will never regret it. Do something childish and you never know who will ALWAYS remember how you handled it. At least they quickly took action to invite you , even though you can't imagine spending time with them. SOMEONE did think of you thoughtfully. Many years ago I quit a club that really turned me off during a yearly ceremony. About a year later I realized how I missed about half of them, who didn't rock the boat so hard and were very likeable. Instead of trying to make the club a better place , I chose to take the easy road and quit. I let a few people take that joy away from me. It's sometimes hard to take the high road. It often takes time for the good to overcome the nasties. I'm not suggesting you join this group but to be the best mom you can be so that at differnt moments in your girls future those women will come to respect you as a person. When they see you in the grocery, the pool, the park they will see a parent they wouldn't mind their child being with. One day the girls will ask to have friends over, something they probably wouldn't do with their bio mom, and those parents will say to their kids, "you can go, I trust her". Revenge only feels good for a moment, respect feels good forever....See More
