why in gods name do state/federal governments think that summer time is prime fuckin' time to tear up roads, limit lanes, and jack hammer at all hours of the night...i have no fuciing clue, but its obnoxious.
normally i don't give a shit....but the shit is a little too close to home right now, and by too close to home i mean right outside my goddamn window.
yup, nothing like jack hammers that promptly start jacking and hammering at eight in the morning, and construction workers lurking right outside my door to make me feel right at fucking home.
what's even better? they've turned the four lanes of pavement into two..and instead of just leaving the huge orange barrels as a sign not to go on the two lanes of road that they are digging up and giving a make-over to, they put up an entire fence.
yup. they've blocked off the entire area...which includes the nice grassy patch where my dog (and the dogs of everyone who lives in my apartment building) shits, pisses, and sniffs to her little glee.
you can't even access it by crossing the street at the crosswalk. it's all fenced up.
all of it.
so what the fuck am i supposed to do when i need to take my dog out?
anyway, i was invited to a formal event. yea, i have no idea why anyone in their right mind would knowingly invite me to a formal event upon meeting me, talking to me, and spending an adequate amount of time with me...but, i was invited, and now i struggle with the prospect of finding a dress.
thanks to the awesome jake, i have a pretty sweet gift certificate to bergdorf goodman that pretty much leaves me with little limits on what dresses i can look at, and these are my options:
my favorite is the long flowy brown one, but you decide.

Yeah I fucking hate construction work it always seems to go on the most inconvenient times.
As for the dress I like the long black one but in all honesty you can probably wear a trash bag to the formal and pull it off with your beauty.
Anyways hope your weekend has been good, laters
lucky you. here they start at seven.
for serious.
okay i like them all but with your coloring either of the first two should look excellent. i'd say it depends on your tan level which suits you better... brown when you're white, white when you're brown. brown when you're in between...
you know :)
uh with your dog? try talking to the workers?
I like the long, hugging black one :)
Backdoor Slider: flattery will only get you in my pants, but i appreciate it :)
Sass: the white one will make me look like shamu in a dress i think. white isn't a flattering color on big ol hips. as for the pooch, i just cut one of the fences so sofie and i could jump over it fairly easily. they can try to put it back together, but hey..i got scissors. holla!
dzer: haha really?! can't imagine why!
Elle-- I like the first two... As far as the construction, you don't want me to answer that. I could recommend ear plugs though. *wink*
Hope you are doing well!
XXOO,
JTL
I like the white but since you won't feel comfortable in white, my next choice would be the long brown
Unfortunately, I am one of those bastards that sets up the construction areas and disturbs your restful bliss.
For construction Joes everywhere, please accept our humblest apologies.
You may now resume your normal sleeping schedule.
PS - I'm with KJ. I think that you would look hawt in the white dress.
cut off jean shorts and a sports bra......
Melissa: i can't lie like this for another four months! fucking euclid corridor bullshit!
Kristen: i like the white one too, but i think i like how it looks on her, not how it realistically would look on anyone above a size 0. snarf!
Flounder: uch!! you're one of them? say it ain't so!
Shane: i was thinking that, but i can't seem to find my studded jean shorts.
Actually, I am one of the project managers, not the guys that are gawking at your rack every time that you walk by.
Most of the scheduling is dictated by the right-of-way owner, or the city in your case. So be pissed at them.
Sicilia: awww darlin..nothin wrong with a little jerk at work ;) i do like the brown flowy one the most, but i have to try them on..which i will this weekend :)
Flounder: i actually don't care about it, i just don't like the jack hammer at 8am...not because i'm asleep, cause i'm not, but because it makes my dog go fucking insane and i don't want to get kicked out for my dog barking at something i have no control over...because yes, the place i live at is that petty and that serious about noise complaints.
Do we get to see a picture with you wearing the winning dress.
Oh, and go with the brown. Brown is the new black.
Go with the dress with the white waistband. Definitely.
Brown is the new black and orange is the new lavender....BULLSH!T. Black is still the new black and is always best for formal occasions. Besides, everyone needs a proper black dress. Brown looks dirty, white is good for a formal brunch but not an evening out. Black is flattering to a womans assets (pun intended).
I need a vacation.
Is it me or does word verification keep using longer and longer fucking words every time?
Ahhhh, my eyes!!!!!1
black. black is always best.
I like the white/ black accent, and brown with creme accent. I hope you have a wonderful time! You look marvelous I'm sure!
Ox...t
