On a different note, I had a lucky shopping day today! I found a pair of pants of normal length - imagine that! Last few years it's been a miracle to find pants that are not too long or too short! I'm still not quite sure about the color, but I'll see...

Then I found a dress. As I don't go out much, dresses are not particularly comfy at work, and it's again a challenge to find a decent one, I could certainly use one. I'm sure the ladies can relate to the fact that more and more substandard ugly polyester made in China is being passed for "fashion" with hefty tags! This dress is also made of polyester, but for a change it was pretty and fit right. On the bright side, polyester doesn't wrinkle, so I succumbed to shelling out the ungodly $118 for it. But... it happened to ring up at $69 even though it didn't appear to be on sale! The girls didn't even notice, but I told them... just in case... They didn't do anything other than scan it, though, so it wouldn't get them in any trouble... Maybe according to their system it WAS on sale after all. That made me feel a little better about the polyestery purchase and I headed to the fancy supermarket next door to get some goodies for the difference!

Oh, btw, the dress was made in Vietnam. For some reason, they have good seamstresses there, unlike in China. Everything made in Vietnam I've come across has been good!

You got some good finds! I can never find pants that are the perfect length...I either have to wear my FM boots with them so they don't drag on the floor, or get them hemmed.

On the dresses...in the spring and summer that is the majority of my wardrobe. This summer has been a challenge to find a decent dress. The polyester and the patters are just downright UGLY and it seems like anything in jersey knit doesn't keep it's shape. I'm so tired of the crap quality!

I've been forced to wear mostly capris in summer, even though I'm not that big of a fan! I don't believe in hemming, though. Not only it's a PITA, but I don't think the shape is ever the same.

I know!

Oh, that's the dress I got. It is indeed on sale - the girls won't get in trouble.

I just take the pants to the tailor...I don't hem jeans but dress pants usually did okay. I know what you mean about changing the shape though, that and a cheapo seamstress will only give you one row of stiching...I always ask for them to replicate the way it is on the hem when I brought it to them.

That is a cute dress...I love the neckline and sleeves. I was just paging through their website and I have to say, if I lost a few more pounds I'd be tempted to buy this shirt:

Caché: Asymmetrical Embellished Halter
It's a bit, well, it's just not me...but that's what I like about it. My husband would love it for a night on the town.


ETA...I'm going to get myself in trouble here! That would be really cute with jeans in the fall:

It's nice. I wouldn't buy it because I can't stand things choking me, though.

Careful there! I didn't see those in the store. I don't like buying clothes online unless the store to return them is fairly close to my house and office.

Thank you

It was EMS 105, "First Responder". I took it because I thought it would help me for EMT-Basic class in a few weeks

I'm doing fine, just bored.

You know its a little strong when they put warning and disclaimers on the label.

We have a juice machine and I used to make the lemonade in the recipie book. I liked to add more ice to turn into almost a slushie then I would substitute Mikes Hard Lemonade for the mineral water.

Yeah, I'm not a huge catalog shopper.

There's a store near me...I may have go to when the kids are in camp again. I've lost 20lbs since last fall, not too much fit when I cleaned out the closet. Guess I need to go shopping!

40 hours for First Responder? EMT-B will cover the same thing in more detail. You will get good at airway, immobilazation, obtaining patient history etc.
