I’m still in. While I love wearing Hawaiian shirts, if it’s cold like it’s been, it ain’t happening. I shall, however, wear one of my kitty hats. ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] You know, you could _at least_ wear the Hawaiian shirt UNDER something else to show solidarity! Sheesh! 😉 [/QUOTE] How about kimono with flowers? Will that work? Or I could wear one with my hippari. (Can you wear stripes with flowers? My inner mom says NO! but my fashion sense says, why the heck not?) (Things like this is why I insist I’m not ‘a lady’) ---

You’ll have to demote me to a “maybe”. My boyfriend is taking me on mini-break for my 29th birthday provided his deal doesn’t go through this week. If he loses his client, I’ll be there. Otherwise, I’ll see you guys next time. ---

I think I’m in… not sure about the Hawaiian shirt… my Hawaiian print dress is too sexy for church that morning. I’ll think of something. ---

Hey **Q.B.** , I haven’t forgotten about the dress we talked about. If I can’t make it I’m going to scuttle over to **Asimovian** ’s office later on this week and beg him to carrier pidgeon it over to you. PS: Happy Almost Graduation! ---

Bump me up to “100% there”. I may need a new Hawaiian shirt, though…maybe I’ll pick one up on the way down…anybody know of a store off of the 55 freeway? ---
