YAY! I ended up getting all the cutting for the gown done last night. I cheated a little bit... I only cut one back skirt piece and just made it wider then what it was supposed to be. I may have to trim it a little more to reduce the waist size a little more, but it should work.
I did a little exercise again this morning. I found this Bollywood exercise that's on my On Demand.... It's kind of fun right up till my arms start KILLING me. For most of it your arms are up and moving. My arms have never been all that strong, and to hold and move them up in the air for even 5 minutes hurts. I've only done about 10 minutes of the show so far (did 10 minutes or so each day)... And I'm hoping that if I keep it up, I'll be able to get through the whole thing in a week or two. Then I can start on another show.
Oh, another little interesting tidbits... I was on facebook and was reminded that this guy I went to elementary school with (actually he was my first boyfriend when I was 12) just moved from Japan (where he worked on video games) to California. I looked up the tow where we lives, and it was actually in the San Fransisco area! If you don't know, or don't remember, I'm hoping to move to the San Lorenzo Valley (the mountains/redwood forest south of San Fransisco and San Jose). ...So he said if we come out to get in touch with him. Who knows maybe me and Steve can have an uncomfortable dinner with Dave and his wife... LOL!
Today's projects are going to be sewing the gown, getting today's homework done... and if a miracle happens start working on some body butter (I have some sample going out and still need to do the body butter for it... and as a gift to the bride and groom)...

w00t for cheating at sewing! 
I be it's going to come out just beautifully! Bollywood definitely takes some strong arms to do - but it's good that you're having fun and have goals. My 'office' has become 'storage' pretty much, so no workout space for me.
