Ugh

I fell asleep at 9:30 last night. How sad is that? At least I got some work done on one of the SASS dresses. Check out my progress!

My Worthy Matron dress finally showed up on Tuesday afternoon. It's very simple, but elegant, and I actually like it. It's a very very pale pink color, so I think I'm going to get a sash or something to brighten it up a bit. Maybe in a smoky lavender color or something, it kind of depends on what I can find at Britex tomorrow morning. It even fits well. A bit snug, but it should be fine and I shouldn't have to take it in any when I lose these last few pounds.

I'm trying to avoid freaking out about tomorrow. Everything seems to be under control, strangely enough, so it's just a matter of keeping focused, breathing, and having a good time. I have a list of things I have to do before I get to the lodge, it's all very manageable, and my family and the boy will be there to cheer me on so it should be good. As long as I remember to write my remarks I'll be fine. Maybe I can do that this morning while I'm feeling fairly calm and centered.

On the knitting front, for some stupid reason I took the Hope sleeve out of my work bag so I have made very little progress on that in the last week. It's back though, and I'm almost done with the first sleeve. Sleeves usually go pretty quickly. I am really looking forward to this being finished. It's cold and I need a sweater. Especially once Dickens starts and I'm running around mornings in my corset and drawers.
