On May 4, there is going to be a celebration at my parents' church of all landmark anniversaries for people for the year. We're celebrating out 10th this year, so we're going to renew our vows at the mass. I wanted to get a new dress to wear for the occasion, so I went HolyClothing shopping on eBay again.

I was really surprised to see they have a gown they push as a "Romeo & Juliet" wedding gown. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the silver color it comes in, but it turns out that the color for the 10th anniversary is silver, and the traditional gifts are tin or aluminum. So it turns out it's very, very fitting. So I made a "best offer" of $20 on it and it was accepted:

I also purchased a couple mini-dresses that I'll actually wear as tank/tunics. I got the blue one for $18.00, and the red one for $22.00:

I love online clothes shopping. :) SOOOO beats the crap they're pushing in plus-sized stores around here these days.

Very pretty! I'm planning to get a couple of those pixie-hem tunic/minidresses for summer.

I LOVE Holyclothing. Their prices are unbeatable for the quality you get. So often that Indian-made rayon frays out at the seams after a few months of washing/wearing, but I have HolyClothing tops that still look great after 5 or 6 years of workday wear. At one point a couple years ago I took a HolyClothing inventory in my closet and found:

8 skirts

6 tops

3 dresses

1 pair of pants

and oh yeah, how could I forget my groovy quilted coat which has lasted through 4 winters of regular wear!

I just wish they didn't make their skirts quite so long- especially the ones with fancy hemlines that can't easily be shortened by someone who's not a professional seamstress. I have 2 or 3 that are just plain too long for me now that I don't have as much extra padding around the hips to take up the extra length!

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
