Good for you for following your heart a...Hi Stace!<br /><br />Good for you for following your heart and wearing what you love! I'll make pledge: once I've run enough to shed the last of the steroid-induced weight, I'll buy one as well *and* wear it to work. Already looking forward to it! :c)<br /><br />So, what hair color are you considering? As one who changed hers, I can tell you it's a *lot* of fun. I was clearly meant to be a redhead all along and just never knew it!!! :D<br /><br />Hope everyone is well, hon. Take care!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Cass<br />Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-21401624667198646682015-04-30T09:05:09.444+02:002015-04-30T09:05:09.444+02:00From my point of view there isn't such a thing...From my point of view there isn't such a thing as too many presents - I think once he appreciates just what presents are there will never be too many :)<br /><br />The shoes are completely worth it - he walks so much better in them, and can practice a lot more as he can walk outside! They look like they are made well, nice and supportive etc. Just a shame that they will be too small before they are even close to worn out!<br /><br />I know that is the attitude that I should have. But should and do are not always the same thing :( But, I'm trying! This afternoon I am (maybe) going for the colour I have wanted for a while (think Alison Hannigan) and I have decided to put on hold the plan for lots of trousers this year and stick with dresses with a couple of jeans thrown in instead!<br /><br />As for your fashion advice, you always look fantastic!<br /><br />Stace Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-45100382857025289692015-04-30T09:01:03.114+02:002015-04-30T09:01:03.114+02:00Thanks Calie.

He is doing really well, hand eye co-ordination is coming along (although so has his first real fall now - teeth through hip upper lip, I'm sure it won't be the last time!) and he is such a happy little boy!<br /><br />Bedtime reading is more Gruffalo and Room on the Broom than coding :) One night Dutch, the next English. He also has The Cat in The Hat (but after trying it a couple of times we decided to leave it until he is a little older - it's just too advanced to keep his attention right now!). And he has a great collection - 15 months now and 40+ books on his bookshelf :)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-26944189848537153122015-04-30T08:56:17.622+02:002015-04-30T08:56:17.622+02:00I love them to bits! But the weird thing is that I...I love them to bits! But the weird thing is that I was so nervous wearing them for the first time! I'm guilty of worrying about other people thinking that I am trying to hard, and so that has a major influence in my purchases. I know it shouldn't - but I'm sure I'm not alone in it!<br /><br />Anyway, the first time I wore the dress to the office I was more nervous than the first day I went as Stacy - I was almost too scared to get out of the car! As it is I love them, I got compliments on them rather than comments and it has boosted my confidence a little (and so more will be coming - I have found another website Unique Vintage that ships world wide and can be searched by style decade, 1950's here I come!).<br /><br />Now just to have the nerve to colour my hair as I want! I have an appointment for today so it may happen soon!<br /><br />Stace<br /><br />PS To be fair, it's more pre dinner reading to work up an appetite rather than bedtime :)Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-83428003020099880642015-04-30T08:51:54.198+02:002015-04-30T08:51:54.198+02:00In the words of my surgeon when I asked what I cou...In the words of my surgeon when I asked what I could do: try it gently. If it works you can do it, if not then don't! Though I was advised not to run or cycle for at least three months... Running is fine (when I'm not full of cold), cycling still has to be attempted! (And being in Holland, I need to try!)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-83492215423544581512015-04-30T08:50:11.147+02:002015-04-30T08:50:11.147+02:00Thanks for the thoughts all.

And they are going to come here more than we planned over the year as well. Of course it is all going to be bitter sweet (and no doubt there will be tears), but we are going to make sure that we concentrate on having a great time whist we are together.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-84401440257518801942015-04-26T23:11:34.411+02:002015-04-26T23:11:34.411+02:00Very sorry to read Stace.

I hope that you can fill whatever time you have with happy memories.<br /><br />As for the recovery, I have always heard that it's best not to run before you need to. I bet I don't follow that advuce though.<br /><br />Glad that life otherwise is going well.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342124169953960479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-69251121141578262412015-04-25T22:07:27.655+02:002015-04-25T22:07:27.655+02:00Hi hon,
I'm so sorry about your father. I'...Hi hon,<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your father. I'm thinking of you all and and sending my best wishes.<br /><br />I never knew either of my grandfathers; both died long before I came along. I've been told they both were huge baseball fans like me. I think we would have been close. Hopefully your little guy will get to know him.<br /><br />As we've discussed, I adore those dresses! So much so that I am definitely going to order several. I'm on the disabled list at the moment here with a sore back; I suspect I lay at an awkward angle a bit too long at my last electrolysis appointment. In any event, I'm holding off on running for a few days until the stiffness is totally gone (lessons learned the hard way). Anyway, once I finally get rid of the last of the steroid weight, those dresses will be among my purchases. :c)<br /><br />Wishing you and your family all the best, hon. Take care.<br /><br />Hugs & love,<br />Cass<br /><br />P.S. Only a developer's child would want bedtime stories from a coding book!

Stay optimistic and hope for the best. <br /><br />Nice to hear that the little guy is doing good. I read to mine every night but I must say that I never read from an IT book.

First off, I'm so...A post of good and bad news. First off, I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. I hope you get to spend as much time, as you can with him. Memories help, I think. I lost my sister in a road traffic accident, so that was very sudden, whereas my uncle had incurable cancer and the inevitable long..... not sure what words to put here :-( Long end, I guess. If you feel the need for a chat, you have my email address <3<br /><br />Good news about your son. He does sound full of beans and is there such a thing as too many presents when you're little? Oh, and shoe costs? Worth every penny and no doubt you'll master the parental poker face, when the sales clerk tells you the price. "But... that's almost half the price of a weekend break!" :-)<br /><br />Trying too hard? Oh, f--- that. Wear what you like and knickers to what people think. Some may judge, but many more are probably wishing they had the courage to break away from the corporate uniform. Fab choices of dresses, BTW. Not that you should take fashion advice from a part timer. ;-)Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.com
