Shopping for a gown

Having a sister who fussed about anything would mean a stock of patience.  Being the eldest and being entrusted with the care and guidance of my 2 siblings, I know I am facing some good challenges but I know that I can still be in control.

Like the other day, I accompanied my sister Marie to shop for a gown she will use to the debut party of a friend and boy!  We have gone to almost all shops in the mall but I don’t know what was she is looking for!   I’ve gone tired and weary following her so I told her that I will just sit in the lounge and to just call me when it is time for her to pay for her purchases.   You bet !  I am her financial officer!

However, she still call on me to show each gown she tried and ask for my opinion, but the final say is still hers.  So, why does she needs to call me if she will not listen at all.   And after those long hours of looking around, fitting, choosing and comparing, we went home empty handed.   And last night she was hinting that there is a shop somewhere which her friend endorsed and that she wanted me to come with her again and take a look.

Oh my!  Why is she so picky?  It takes forever for her to shop for a gown and the shoes will follow after… I dread the day….

Plus size dresses

I warned my cousin to stop her non sense dieting because it won’t work out.     The Junior Senior Prom is almost 2 weeks away and her goal is to lose weight before the big night to fit into that lovely evening gown that she wanted so much Actually, I am not discouraging her but the bitter truth is that her goal is unrealistic knowing that she has been carrying those extra load since she was a little girl.

I’ve seen her starving herself to death, eating only crackers and black coffee everyday and it is very unhealthy.   I can understand that she is cranky and a certified grumpy queen these days because of her desire to fight her food craving and hunger pangs.   She might lose some pounds but her target dress will not really fit.

The other day, I had the chance to have a serious pep talk with her and she listened intently on how I made her realize that her time is very limited to be able to wear the sexy gown she wanted.  I then adviced her that there are fashionable  plus size dresses which are available on line which she can browsed on and she will not be disappointed.

Last night, I received an ecstatic call from cousin Louise bragging about her plus size gown purchased online.  The most important thing is that she promised that from now on, she will live a healthy life.

Uncle Ted and his motorcycle gang are planning for a long distance bike ride.   They are looking forward to the experience of braving the cold winter days  on long trips.   They raved about not feeling get tired easily unlike during summer days when heat and exhaustion are the number one deterrent to their plans.

I was convinced to go with the group, confident that I can also brave the cold weather because Uncle Ted promised to buy me CozyWinters.com heated motorcycle clothing if I will go along.   I was super excited when I checked online how  the new gear and suit I will soon have.  Well Uncle Ted really got good taste and I can’t help but rave with his collection of fashionable, durable heated jacket and pants with matching gloves.
