Here is the one I picked up for anyone interested - It's $155 now, I got it for $136
Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine With 60 Built-In Stitches, 7 styles of 1-Step Auto-Size Buttonholes, Quilting Table, and Hard Cover [amazon.com]
- It's relatively lightweight, so I can take it with me to classes at JoAnn
nice! i want a sewing machine! someday, when we move and i have more space, i'm gonna go find me one... they're so useful. i'm sure there's a lot more bells and whistles on them nowadays though... i learned on older ones so that's all i know how to use. *but* if i had one i could set MIL up with it to fix/alter all my clothes...
Yes, I have no room for it, and no table that is the right height (coffee table and a pub height table - too tall for the pedal). I want to make duvet covers and hem stuff myself
Looks like I missed on sewing machine deal

Thanks ladies. Do you somehow clean the envelopes before reusing them or use them like you receive them? My VS envelopes always look like they've been run over a few times by the time they get to me.
...
BTW, I have guests coming in a few days. Would you come & clean my house too?

Thank you I did enjoy her stay, she left today, it was a short stay
While I appreciate the request, I'm not sure I'm what you would want... when I say "clean", I really mean "hide our crap" in the most organized way possible. It didn't work out terrribly well since DH kept leaving our bedroom door open and my aunt is nosey and was opening closet doors and stuff
Not sure when they added this feature, but it's useful

but in general i think dress pants + blouse + cardigan is fine too - as long as you're wearing heels that's plenty dressy enough. go with layers for awhile until you get a good feel for the weather in the office, and maybe bring a black sweater to leave at the office in case you get cold.
i hate the summer bc i always want to wear all my skirts... but they turn up the a/c to counteract the heat outside and i end up freezing.
All the guys came in a suit and tie so I opted for a pantsuit. Thank goodness because my manager was in a skirt suit. I'm definitely doing layers for a while until I figured how the AC is.
There's some important event where the women are required to wear a dress or suit. I might actually get to wear all my new clothes
I can't believe how close VS and Express are! But I think I will bypass making returns just because I'm afraid I will have too much stuff to return!
I like the sweater idea for the job. Knock 'em dead on your first day! :thum bsup:
I totally feel bad for what you and your DH are going through. Seems just so terrible with those people

Bought a pair of these in brown: cotton sateen cropped columnist pants [express.com] for work and I love them! I like columnist anyway but these are great.
I also got this skirt in clearance: high waist pleated ponte knit skirt [express.com]- it's soooo girly! :3
i do have to say - i think the cargo powder is pigmented and does well in blurring stuff but i don't think it's great at keeping things matte. i have read reviews that say it does not prevent oilies well. i'm not sure if that's what you need powder for - if so you may want to try others.
i must admit i am pretty lazy most of the time and forget to powder my face. :l ol: i have been getting oily a lot lately but i still forget to do it.
Dermstore has Cargo blu_ray in light. http://www.dermstore.c
i've heard good things about mac mineralize baked powder - i would want to try that one as a finishing powder, if i actually used one. (however i know that doesnt help you since sephora doesn't sell that either)

Me too, I was "putting away" (stuffing in dark corners) just the ones from this year... soo many totes! :sha ke:
Yes, I have no room for it, and no table that is the right height (coffee table and a pub height table - too tall for the pedal). I want to make duvet covers and hem stuff myself : ) Yeah, put MIL to work! :ev illaf:
Yeah. Although, :ev il: me wants to do the People's Court w/ Judge Judy or someone that doesn't put up with nonsense just so other people can hear the craziness and maybe they can admit they need some help, oh and I'd get the money too :lo l:
Thank you I did enjoy her stay, she left today, it was a short stay : ( ...that's a lot of unintentional rhyming :cov erlaf: She likes to pack it in though. In 24 hours we went to the beach, learned how to use my sewing machine, made fudge, caught up on the family stuff and she forced me to make a dr. appt. I had been avoiding :he art:. We were supposed to hit up JoAnn and hem a dress too but we slept in. :ton gue: I'm exhausted.
While I appreciate the request, I'm not sure I'm what you would want... when I say "clean", I really mean "hide our crap" in the most organized way possible. It didn't work out terrribly well since DH kept leaving our bedroom door open and my aunt is nosey and was opening closet doors and stuff :do h:
Whaaat is this? :wo ot:Awesome feature, thanks!
Your aunt would wear me out.

Thanks! And no problem at all : ) It was really different leaving for work today. It was blazing hot outside. I'm so used to the cold, freezing beach gusts after work.
