excusus, excuses

so i\i'm sick with the flu. the normal kind, not the piggy kind. I've been on serious bed rest since Tuesday trying to recuperate for school that starts Monday... ugh, and my birthday which is on Wednesday... yippee. new years eve was spent lying down all day and straining to give my husband a new years kiss while my head pounded in my ears from the fever i had-- the sick kind, not the romantic, swoony kind.

so, my point is that i haven't finished the dress yet, and i'm trying to figure out how to get around it some how, but i owe it to myself and to all of you to finish it. as penance i will even wear it out to my birthday dinner on Saturday, with pictures to come. deal?
