OMG - that is too funny!

We bought our tickets way to early! Like 7 months in advance. I did this because I looked at the online pics of the seats that were taken & freaked out, because they were almost all booked! How could I plan a wedding & ask guests to show up when I didn't even know if we would be able to get a ticket? Well, I figured out later that we should have waited - the closer it got the better the deals became. I think TA's buy up blocks of seats for prime times way early, which makes it look like all the seats are sold.

Hahaha!!! I hadn't looked at it that way...umm, no. I think I better change my pic!

OK, dear forum, I've been trying to catch up for the last week or so & everytime I log on I give up because threads take days to load & so do my replies. What's up??

OMG, Rafael does the same thing! Piles of toenails on the coffee table - for days. I try to not pick them up & make him do it, but it's just gross. And he performs surgery on his ingrown toenail too...that's really sick. (Hi ladies, long time no see!!)

Oh congrats Natalie! Those are gorgeous teasers. I love the view captured in the ones you posted. Yay!

Thanks ladies! I'm excited & nervous & all that good new job stuff. Kate - yeppers! We will meet up during your training week. Sounds good

Hey Christine - great ideas, but hard to implement when there is a recruiter in the middle. ANYWAY - I got a call yesterday at 6 pm offering me the job! WOO HOO! The salary is exactly where I need to be, the location is awesome, and the growth potential is huge!! I start Nov 5.

OK ladies - any progress out there? I am going nuts. I had an interview last Thursday before I left town for the weekend. It's for an awesome small company that is growing rapidly. Ideal location in terms of commute time. Loved the hiring manager (CFO) - very smart, innovative, all about hiring smart people, mentoring them & letting them do their job. I left very intrigued. I also got called back for a second interview with the President of the company. I went in for that on Tuesday afternoon. That also went very well. It was supposed to be a 15 minute interview & turned into an hour. Sounds all positive right? Haven't heard a damn thing. They said they were going to make their decision this week. I guess tomorrow is Friday & I should wait till then to be distressed.

Yay, someone else with teenager problems!! I would honestly say that your daughter needs to back away from the whole boyfriend thing. Yes, teenage girls are HORRIBLE! And, there is not much to do about it. Not having a boyfriend can stop a lot of the drama. I don't think the principal is any position to do anything. This is a social issue. As a parent, you can only listen & advise & watch out for things that are getting in the way of being successful at school. Good luck!

Yeah, you have a year according to Generally Accepted Wedding Etiquette Guidelines When I did mine, I tried really hard to write something personal in each card - I ended up barely being able to finish because my brain & hand hurt so much!!

Dear BDW girls, This is freaky, I think our cycles are starting to line up. Melissa, Drea & I - same time...anyone else?? I know this can happen in workplaces...but online? Haha. Also, please keep some good vibes up in the air for me - I have a job interview tomorrow morning for a company that sounds awesome & a job that fits me like a glove on paper.

Awww Heidi, so glad to see this first thing when I signed in. I totally agree with you - this forum is amazing! I am so glad we can touch your heart as a group and be part of your healing. We love you!!

Part of my excuse is that I want to keep my credit rating separated from my DH's right now. But really, I just haven't done anything about it. And honestly, I'm ok with it. I use my legal name for things that require it, and I use his last name when I can. And sometimes I hyphenate it!! I'm evil! **Another thing I just thought of, I don't want to be the third Mrs. His Last Name. His mom is the only person that has the right to that name, but his ex-wife still goes by it "for the kids" (whatever). So, deep down, that's a big part of it too.

Those are beautiful!!! What are your invites going to look like? Your potential guests will be very impressed.

Hey Amber - that's strange that you haven't heard back from Monica. I had the same experience as Corey - no deposit required. Honestly, I think that you will be able to secure transportation once you get to Cabo Surf - I remember Ixchel was always there picking people up, they must be based near by. Maybe email Armando & ask him if he can arrange transport thru Ixchel for you? I'm guessing your emails are not making it to Monica.

Dear self - Good job being so motivated today - great work out & then 5.5 hours of billable work!! Excellent. Dear mortgage broker - I'm glad I called you today. I was kinda freaking out over DH's recent credit rebellion. Thank you for listening, and thank you for letting me know we aren't completely screwed! Maybe I'll sleep better tonight. Dear inexperience, unprofessional & crass recruiter that keeps calling me- You don't understand what I do, you don't understand the terms used on my resume & you can't understand why my previous employer paid me what they did. WHY WOULD I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU You are presumptive, pompous and STUPID. I hope you get fired after I call your supervisor & tell them how unprofessionally you behaved with me. Suck it.

Nicole - I think that you wrote a very clear, fair & objective review, good job. Juan - I have the utmost respect for you for taking Nicole's review as constructive criticism & applying it to your business to make your service better. Your response addressed her concerns without emotion & I think that shows a lot.

Hey girlie - happy bday!! Too bad it's on a Monday...I hope you did something really fun over the weekend.

Dear Sarah - I read it. Glad you got that off your chest! Dear world - I am a good person. I put a lot of positive stuff out into the world. I am responsible, I do the right thing, I pay my bills on time. I would like to formally request you stop sending me negative shit. Of all things, I have to find out my DH's credit score has gone down 75 points in a month!! And this is because he apparently develops a "phobia" of paying bills when things are stressful in his life?? What? What?? So now I take all his bills from him & I am in charge of it so this doesn't happen again - but what now? We are buying a house! How could this happen? How could a grown man with plenty of money in the bank have bill paying anxiety? And why now? Fuck!

I tried my darndest to wear shoes, but they just ended up under the table & I was barefoot the whole time - except for when I went to the bathroo. I think super cute/bright flats would be a great option. I think my problem was that I chose flip flops & they just kept falling off because my dress was so heavy & I walked weird!

Ugh Heidi, what a bitch. I assume that your work knew what was happening with you, they should cut you some slack. I mean seriously, like your boss didn't know this was a horrendously emotional loss? I hate that whole "call in every day" thing. Shit, you are distraught, you need some time. And then every time you call in, what are you supposed to say "it's Heidi, like I said 2 days ago, I'm not going to be in this week" And then they start asking questions, and then you get more upset, etc, etc. Give them a note from your doctor & be done with it. I totally agree, you should take some more time for healing. This whole episode probably set you back. What a bitch. Wishing you emotional health & peace!

Yeah, don't feel too bad hun...lots of girls on here have done the same thing. It's ok, really!
