Not again!

i think i'd rather eat split pea soup everyday for the rest of my life than look at another bridesmaid dress.
Is it like some sort of rule that bridesmaids dresses have to be ugly and really really ridiculously expensive?
and that the places that sell bridesmaid dresses have to be really really ridiculously far away from, I don't know, say EVERYTHING!
I was on east 78th looking at dresses today. EAST 78TH! I'm sorry, but I have no business being on east 78th. Apparently I have no idea how to navigate the east side. Who's stupid idea was it to stick lexington, park and madison between the numbered avenues, huh? That is a constant source of confusion for me. You know why? CAUSE I NEVER GO TO THE EAST SIDE!
Needless to say I was there today. It's like a whole other world over there. Dare I say it's cleaner?
Anyway, I looked at MORE bridesmaids dresses and I changed my mind AGAIN about what I'm interested in. I've given up on getting dresses that my bridesmaids will wear again. I hate to break it to you all, but there's no such thing. So right now, I'm just trying not to have them look ugly, matronly or bridesmaidsy and I'm trying to keep the price down (hah! fat chance!) Although I will tell you that a lot of places will give you a 10% discount on each dress if you have 5 or more bridesmaids so when you're picking your bridemaids more is definitely better :-)
Ok, now I'm going to go look at the only think that irks me more than these dresses...caterers. Lord, help me!
