Our New Neighbors & A Contest

Im having a contest!! I wanna be cool like the rest of the kids..And there is a reason behind my madness..The SIL has now resorted to sending me the dresses she thinks I would like..I would like them if I were on crack..or stick thin. Let me give you some examples..Also, the colors are black/white/peacock. Here we go..*Addendum* My body type..is shall we say..curvy..I've got a good sized rack (according to the DH, lol) and a bit of a belly..long legs, small hips and ass. So basically. Wonky.

Are we seeing the almost arrows on this dress? And Im a larger size gal, so having arrows pointing directly to my midsection??? Pass. The shoes though? Killer.

This just reminds me of prom gone bad. Im pretty sure my Aunt J had a prom dress like this circa 1987. And again w/the eyes being drawn up right to the ol problem area.












Does she want me to shoot myself? Is this because I haven't been paying 100% attention to her wedding rants lately? She was sending really pretty suggestions (some of which I even liked) and then this. Has she she seen my body type? Oh jeez. And the other 2 BM's, pretty buxom, one is 4 mos post-partum and one is a little larger...wtf!? Helllllp!!
So here's the contest part. Send me a picture of you or someone you know in the ugliest/weirdest/oddest bridesmaid dress that you can find..They'll most likely be displayed here on the blog, so feel free to block out your face if you want too..The winner gets a prize that I would want..Which is what made me think of this (well that & the awful dress selection)..A Yankee candle "sampler." It's the beach set, which ALL smell fantastic and make you think of summer..plus they aren't overpowering. I'll have it shipped directly to your house..So you can email me at DreamGirlL7@yahoo.com w/the pic or leave it in the comments..Im super pumped. This contest will run 1 week..So starting today (April 28) to next Wednesday (May 5th)!!! May the ugliest dress win!!

So our complex is relatively new, and each building has 3 floors. We haven't had neighbors on our floor (the 1st) since we moved in. About 6wks. ago a really nice guy moved in 2 doors down..and then over the weekend another couple moved in right above us..Neither of these pose any problem to us..except for this..The neighbors upstairs STOMP all the time..and we don't have "thin" floors..Like they are stomping like Clydesdales..it is semi-hilarious until it completely gets on my nerves. Like last night. When I could not sleep, and they were stomping. OMG. And they move their furniture around at all hours of the night. Gah. Then..you are not gonna believe this, or maybe you will. 2 doors down guy has a lady friend..and this morning, Allie got out, and we had to lure her w/a car ride..and while Im waiting outside for E & Allie to get back, I hear a smacking noise coming from his apartment..the patio faces the parking lot & the door is open. So being the non-nosey neighbor I am..I move closer to their patio..and she is telling him to smack her on her ass..w/a shoe. WTF!? Bahaha. I had to hold myself to keep from laughing out loud. Then she starts talking..LOUDLY, about other things..and so on and so forth. E had to make me come in. I was cracking up..I thought for sure I blew a stitch. Im all for doing whatever, whenever in your own home, but maybe not so much w/the patio door open..also, I was really tempted to yell out requests like "smack her w/a frying pan" or "punch him in the head." That kind of thing.. You can't be dj'ing your own show & not expect requests..lol. E told me, *firmly* NO!! Now I want to open our patio door & just shout out random stuff, like, throw a bone at me, hit me w/the blanket. Bahaha. Sorry. This made my day.

Yesterday was a *bad* day. Like really bad. And Dr. J, being the saint that he is, refilled my pain medicine..and how about that the Glumetza is like $500 for a months supply..OMG!! So my pharmacist Becca (oh yes I do call her by name, we're that close) called and asked if she could give me the generic, which was only $15.00..And Dr. J's office said yes. Thank goodness!! There was no way I could continue taking it if it was gonna be that much. Yesterday, I was just in so much pain. Like, it hurt to talk. I struggled to carry on a conversation w/o loosing my breath. Then of course, last night, they made me super nauseated, and I couldn't sleep at all. I didn't fall asleep til 7am. So that was nice.

Okay, our chicken cordon bleu pasta is ready..and Im starving..Love you all!! Can't wait to see your dresses!!
