One of my good friends is getting married in July. This is the first of my high school friends to get married, and it’s going to be a great big thing. I, therefore, need a dress. I have found a dress that’s about 3 times what I was planning on spending, but I’m in love.

Only picture me being shorter, and not blonde.

Wouldn’t a lacy brown shrug look so great with it?

If I do go with this dress, I will be on the yarn diet to break all yarn diets. I would be selling off yarn, to make myself feel better about buying a $300 dress.

Or I could be sensible and look for another dress. Damn me and my champagne tastes on a beer water budget. Damn my not-really-paid job. I mean, sure, I get a cheque on the 15th and last day of each month, but it’s a pittance because I’m an intern.

EDIT: Yeah, after a visit back to the dress in the store (and beign recognized by the girl working there, oh the embarassment!) and actually really thinking…. it’s a stupid idea. I need to save as much money as possible for when this contract ends. Because then…. I’ll actually be trying to find actual work in the actual theatre world in Calgary. Actually. For real. eek.
