I'm in the process of purging at home and I still have my last wedding dress. It's not a wedding dress per se - it's just a nice champagne formal dress. The good (or bad) news is I fit in it and like it. The emotional side of me says "high time to get rid of it"; the practical side says "it's a nice dress and you don't have many for formal occasions." Not that there are many occasions of this nature...

I've been thinking of getting rid of it for a long time and still haven't... What say you? Well, not that I don't know the answer... I'm not going to feel good wearing it and there's no point in doing it even if it is nice.

Got a new job, and a couple of projects on the go, so not a lot of spare time at the moment.

I'm still around, but just don't have as much time for posting at the moment.

Watch this space tho, I'll be back.
Good luck with your new job!

Sell it on Craigslist or ebay and go buy yourself something nice with the money. I wouldn't market it as a wedding dress, just a formal dress that could be worn as one.

Yeah, I think I'll just take it to Twice As Nice (second-hand store) with the rest of the stuff. It certainly doesn't make me happy, but it might make somebody else happy. This one isn't expensive; the really expensive one I never took with me.

GET RID OF IT!! Bad juju, vodoo and whatever else that goes along with it.

Besides when you do get an invite to a formal occasion, what better time to buy something new and fabulous for the event!!

I have been going through stuff from my move. Moving into a smaller house helps with that. When the ex moved out I stacked many of her things in the middle of the living room for her. She had a list of things she wanted. It was a massive amount of stuff (read junk.) As things proceeded I would find more things of hers that she had chance at getting.

What she didn't want I donated or gave away to friends after the divorce was finalized. That has been a tedious process. She wanted her wedding dress... I gladly gave her the dress in the box it was in. Her friend ran interference and crossed out what I wrote on the box. Apparently "Cheater's wedding dress" was rude. Hmmm I thought cheating was more rude.

If I get married again I will get myself a nice new suit that I can use, makes more sense than a tuxedo.

How long can 3 people seriously talk about Star Wars? This has been going on for 3 hours. You know you need a new job when the only important thing going on, is evidently Star Wars.

Yeah, I will. I still have the diamonds, though... Guess I'll keep them. The way everything goes, I might fall on them for food in retirement... If I ever retire that is.

It is very cathartic. I have put a lot of it behind me.
