Good morning everybody.<br /><br /><b>Jim ~ hope today is a good day...</b><br /><br /><br /><b>Cheryl</b> ~ you asked about the red gown story...I posted it in the ConnieGoesCrazie group thread so in the interest of &quot;full disclosure&quot; LOL I have copied it and posted it here...I know, you all are going to be SO thrilled&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />  well, maybe <b>Kevin</b>.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br /><br />&quot;...I had a MAJOR reddish / blond moment yesterday when I got home from Dillards yesterday...I managed to go bet. storms yesterday...I got a few more cruise clothes, just shirts and a pair of Levi capris at 30% off on top of clearance price plus a pair a sandals I really liked on sale but the MAIN thing was a long red formal...I know RED&#33; but you will just have to see it&#33; LOL and a blue reg. length cocktail dress... had to pay retail for that.<br /><br />what I did when I got home was put the red gown on. Rachael was in her room with company (I thought) LOL&#33; So I went in the library where Jerry was...here I came sassaying in with a long red formal ballgown on and there is Rachael&#33; she says, &quot;Mommy what are you doing with a long fancy dress on&#33;?&quot; without missing a beat, I say...&quot;Your Daddy is going to start taking me dancing, I am going to start taking ballroom dancing lessons.&quot; I calmly walk out of the library go into my bedroom and here comes hubby. he looks at me with a look that I cannot begin to describe&#33; LOL I say, &quot;Man, THAT WAS STUPID&#33; &quot; well, he said something to that effect&#33; LOL<br /><br />I asked if he thought she bought it...he said, <b>&quot;SHE ISN&quot;T THAT STUPID&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; </b>well, so far so good&#33;&#33;&#33; LOL after all, she is a <b>NATURAL BLOND</b>&#33;&quot;  <br /><br /><br />and that as they say...or rather I say, Is the story.  I doubt very seriously it will be the end of the story, and yes MaryLou, I am seriously going to look into dance lessons&#33;  After all, I am going on a cruise in under 4  months with a &quot;long fancy dress&quot;  LOL  somebody <i>JUST MIGHT </i>ask me to dance.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br />
