Holy crap! I missed when this thread started. I am so happy you were able to get dress #2 in such short order. I don't even know where I'd be if I were you with the shady salon. I know you are up to your ears with everything wedding related, but you've gotta turn these f-ers into the BBB. I would demand every cent refunded. What craziness!!

OMG, I'm laughing with you Catherine, not at you, I swear! Can't wait to see the pics though.

Now that is an awesome doctor!!

Holy crap Jaime! I'm glad you got an answer, but wow! I can't believe the doc in the box guys didn't figure that one out. My BFF's hubby just had a huge kidney stone situation. He had to have an electromagnetic pulse therapy thing done to break one of them up. Sounds very painful.

Oh Ann! I just saw this post. How are things coming?

The book for your sister is so great Heidi! She is going to absolutely love it

So, with the new house on it's way, I realize I must start thinking about how to decorate the place. Basically, we are going to start over in the living room & master bedroom. What a great opportunity! Ummm, yeah...where do I start? I'm browsing HGTV.com right now to see if anything inspires me. I don't even really know what my style is?? So, I think I'll start collecting some inspiration photos & posting them here ****** OK, here is a couch photo I find appealing. I'm definitely wanting a sectional for our living area.

Great recipe post Kash! Thanks. I'm def going to try this one.

Dear self - ok, so you proclaimed you would not go to costco today. Then when you saw the price of milk & coffee at Safeway you decided to go anyway. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? It"s a really good thing you still carry that bottle of Xanax in your purse. JEEZ! What a fricking nightmare. And can someone please explain why razors cost $2 a piece? What a rip off.

We originally planned to spend the night before apart. However, I had a complete anxiety attack the day before the wedding, so we ended up staying together For the most part, the day of, we each spent time doing our own thing to relax & get ready.

Great thread! Growing up, I was allergic to cow's milk. So get this - my mom bought a goat & milked it! So I guess I grew up w/goats milk. When I got old enough to make my own decision, I chose not to drink milk at all. To this day cow's milk still makes me phlegmy. Also, the stark whiteness of it freaks me out. I use vanilla flavored soy milk for my coffee & any cereal I eat. I've been using soy milk for like 10 years. However, I am also a cheese freak! Isn't that weird?

Dear Husband, Saturday is my day off. So, when I tell you to let me know if you have any grocery requests, be happy and thankful! All you have to do is tell me what you'd like. Asking me if I'm going to Costco & then being disappointed that I'm am just going to the "regular" grocery store is completely unnecessary. I don't go to Costco on weekends. You konw this. This is an intregal part of my stress management program - NO COSTCO ON WEEKENDS. Why does it matter where I get the milk? I don't even drink milk. Your lovely son drinks milk. And quite frankly, I'm not even sure why I need to go out of my way to buy his fricking milk when he can't even put a damn dish in the dishwasher. So, seriously DH, just tell me what you want & don't worry about where it comes from. Now I'm probably going to sit on my ass & watch TV instead of going to the grocery store...oh yea, going for a pedi too. Love, me

Holy crap! That is exciting Catherine! I was hoping to hear something great like this as a result of the trip to LA. AMAZING!

WHAT?? OK that story is insane, that only happens on TV. Why & how would your mom even begin to get into corresponding with an inmate?? This is very scary. I'm really sorry.

I rotate between these breakfasts on work days: -Kashi go lean crunch cereal w/ soy milk -Whole wheat toast w/peanut butter -Yogurt w/fruit like blueberries. The first two tide me over quite nicely until lunch

How exciting!!!! Another Las Caletas girl. Remember when Ann was the only one??

I have the same problem Jessica. Actually what happens is I search on something specific, I get a huge bunch of results, and then I end up getting side tracked with a post I never saw before but doesn't have anything to do w/what I was looking for! Drrrr.

Jessica - a) again, you are so funny/cute can I say "I hate you" to a woman who just had a baby & doesn't need to lose weight? c) My advice: clearly you don't need an intestive routine based on what you look like & what you say. I would definitely start with crunches every other day. Work up over time in terms of quantity. d) if that doesn't work, I reccomend pilates dvd's - 20 minutes/3 times per week & you will be very good to go!

Martha, I just joined 2 days ago! I find that it's not hard for me. I think just joining & logging my food intake makes me pay more attention to what I know I really should be doing anyway. You can do it! We'll support eachother since we're both newbs

Wow, I remember when we had like 30 active members... Ditto! Thank you so much Tammy, this forum has become an intregal part of my life network!! OMG, totally Sarah! I remember having those growing pains when we moved from the old format to the v-bulletin forum...learning all the new stuff. And being hooked on the arcade games. And trying to beat eachother with points. Good times!

I'm surprised to see that I'm pretty good in the eating department. I think my real issue is portion size management and alcohol consumption! Last night I did have a glass of wine because it fit into my points. I must say that was much more conscious of savoring it since I was being mindful of controlling the amount. Eek gads!

OK, so we had our meeting this morning w/the superintendant. Our estimated closing date is 4/3/08, expected to be bumped out slightly as there are "non-planned non-work days" that occur (could they make that more confusing?). Anyway, the grading on the lot is complete & the foundation structure is complete so we can see the footprint of the house. Our yard is huge!! It's also really cool to see all of the other houses that are all close to eachother, and then on the other side of the street there we are all alone - no neighbors!! It's awesome. Tomorrow they will "drop lumber" and begin the framing. We will have another formal frame walk-thru on construction day 19, which I'm estimating to be February 14th. I had a whole new freak out last night thinking about this. It's like when we first signed the contract to buy - that feeling of "omg, are we doing the right thing." I suppose that's natural.

OMG woman! You are looking so hot in your pics. I absolutely love the way your colors worked out. The pictures are incredible. I am officially jealous!

First thing tomorrow morning we meet with the project manager on our house! They officially start throwing up the frame on Thursday. WHOOP!

congrats to you! I just joined yesterday & feel better already knowing I'm accountable
