nod mine are within $200 of each other.

i may sit at home and wait for the sale! unfortunately it may still happen tonight... sorry!

shows you how long it's been since i went to a store... i haven't seen it in store at all.

doh, that means i'll need sailors in at least 4 for the roominess that i need. and thanks for the linen tip - i had a pair in cart. i'll take it out now.

i'm so glad someone else agrees with me on the sleeveless portofino. i can still remember 2 sleeveless shirts i had vividly - a white and a blue. i might be on board if it cut away a bit more at the shoulders, but in general it is very 90s. like GH says i guess every fashion trend cycles... i do heart the regular ones tho!

about the camera sling - i got DH a sling for the camera when he travelled alone for an extended period. the sling got good reviews - i think the purpose is that you can just sling it forward and reach the camera that way, rather than having to slip a strap off of your shoulder to reach the camera. easier access = faster reaction to cool things that you want to take photos of. the one we have really only holds a camera and like a pack of tissue tho - there's not much room for other stuff. it's not a backpack substitute.
In linen, I have the light in 2, dark in 4 (and the 4 fits slightly smaller than the 2 and is less wrinkle-prone...wth?).

Oh yes, I remember DH demonstrating that move Coverlaugh . It works before you strap on the telephoto lens (velcros onto the outside) and load it with 2 other lenses, and whatever else he has in there. It would probably work if it limited what he brought, but he just buys a bigger bag, stuffs it full, then straps on more accessories Messed Up .

My dd called she is worried about her midterm today in math, she did not do well on the last one and has a D+ and needs to pass this one, so if you all here could think good thoughts and say a little prayer for her I would appreciate it.
Comfort I know that horrible feeling. I failed a math class with an F myself in college. (If you didn't get a C or above, you got an F). One way to comfort her and let her know it's not over if she does fail, would be to look up the school's policy on re-taking classes and how they calculate GPA. When I attended a UC school, you could take a class up to 3 times and they would take the best grade you got to calculate your GPA. This meant I still have the F on my transcript, but I took it at a later date (during summer when I could focus better) and replaced it with a 4.0 A in my GPA... much better than the 4.0 units of F. Knowing that you can fix your GPA later was a great relief because I thought it was the end of the world and was having panic attacks about it. I have 2 of those and still had options for grad and professional schools. So long as this is the exception on her transcript and not the rule, I'm confident she will be OK no matter how it turns out hug

have you tried the soft shorts?

curious what size i should get.
I have not tried this year's version. One from last year that I tried was a similar sheen fabric but with cuffs, large leg holes and a billowy butt. I remember thinking the waist a little tight in 2 but not undo-able. The cut may be similar just sans cuffs, but I'm not sure Scratchchin
woah EEK!

Thanks, she told me she can take it again but I am hoping she does not have to. She had her brother and the TA go over stuff, she said she studied more for this than she did the other one.

Has anyone seen theembroidered lace tee in stores lately [express.com]? I need the ivory in an XS and online has not re-stocked.

She might need another teacher. My DH was my tutor for my "F" Teehee , but I couldn't learn a darn thing from him. IME, people that didn't have to struggle w/ the subject and just "get it" don't make the best teachers b/c they don't know how they understand it, they just do - and unfortunately I found that my math TA's were all math majors so they just "got it"as well. Frown During the summer, a Provost taught it (the kind of person that loves to teach, but doesn't get to very much b/c of the administrative load) and it was worlds different. If it's a class in a series (Calculus 1,2,3, etc), then a second run at it might make her stronger for the other courses. I def. understand not wanting to re-take nod

Wow, the Sephora sun kit is sold out already!

: wave: Good morning everyone!
Sephora has some great markdowns on sephora collection items in store and online too! Online most are OOS though.
Yesterday, I bough OPI tinsel town collection of 4 minis from my sephora inside JCP for $5 only Whee There were more items on sale but I didn't look much besides regular sephora and inside JCP differs sometimes.


Quote from CrazyCatJade :
I had a job interview yesterday :wh ee: Not even looking but it was my husbands former company. They had a position come open and called me thinking I'd be a perfect fit. I have a little phone interview today, should know something by the end of the day. Not sure I want to quit being lazy and go to work though
Good luck! I am on interviews ride too! I am in search of landing a right internship and hoping I would find something where I will continue as job after completion of internship.
