Going Home

Image
  My parents were fine with me staying at college for summer again, but my mom insisted that I come home for a weekend and I agreed.  Now, I love my parents and it was so good to see them.  I certainly don't want them coming down here to visit me and I want them to know that I still want them to be an important part of my life.  Unfortunately, going home meant seeing my sisters Kim and Holly.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my sisters and I always have, but we are close in age and that means competition.  Also, being outnumbered I would often make comments about women just to get a rise out of them.  They are really enjoying having me under Mia and her friends' thumbs at college and I am coming back with a whole bunch of hand-me-downs as well as a few summer dresses we bought on a shopping trip. They had gotten my aunt's old wedding dress and couldn't wait to have me model it and in general they tormented me all 4 days I was home.  I am never goin...

I'm Back!

  So, things have been crazy at work.  We're shorthanded and I've been picking up all sorts of hours.  Under the best of circumstances, I wouldn't be thrilled but as my salary is going to pay for my girly wardrobe, it's even less exciting. Mia and the others have actually been pretty good about not giving me too hard a time about not having to post, but I don't see that lasting forever. The purple dress is from my sister Kim.  She stopped home for a three day weekend in early October and picked up some things to send to me.

You can tell by the look on Fiona's face just how thrilled she is to be getting makeup. She really isn't dressed nearly as much as I am, but it's not like the gi...

Day 5: Last Day

  Today was the toughest day yet. It's almost 10:00 and I couldn't even try anything on until the girls went out and I had to hurry up before our parents got back. Unfortunately, it meant I was stick inside tonight. I had a few requests--one was to stuff my bra better and the other was to vary the shoes. Since Kim and I have the same size feet more or less, that wasn't too hard. I forgot the bra stuffing except for the very last picture and I will probably be in trouble for that, but I didn't want to still be posing in outfits when my sister came back. Do any of these work for you? I even tries a skirt.  I'll be going back pretty early tomorrow so I can catch the Bears game though it will probably suck because Fields will miss the game.
