I need clothes in the worst possible way, except easy dresses won't do it, as I don't need to go to work. .... anyway, 5 garments in a day sounds like heaven. I'm pulling out UFO after UFO. Did I really pack up that many UFO's?<br />Tried to call you earlier, is your phone # same? I left a vm, and if it's not your phone anymore someone is getting a bit of a bizarre message.<br />....I should take this to email.

The idea of two weeks of easy dresses is terrific, especially when you could probably then wash and hang them all at once and go another two weeks!
