I'm sorry this is thread hijacking but I needed to vent... i am pissed. my boss wants to send me home but I have so much to do. We have a $30M bid coming up and I have a deadline to meet for our bonding company. Seriously this is horrible. I feel like crying and I never cry at work!!!

I guess all it takes is ONE bad day at work and I CAVE. I went for another liquid lunch courtesy of my printer refusing to work. Anyone ever seen Office Space where they take the fax machine out to the park and beat it with a baseball bat? That's what i felt like this morning with my printer.... So we went to Ruby Tuesday's for a liquid lunch. They forgot my food order and offered me a burger because it was quick and I accepted. Then the server at the end spilled ketchup all over me. And I mean all over in my hair and on my beige blouse! I'm not having a good day I keep smelling ketchup....ewwww

Yuck!!! Amy that's pretty sad people can't figure out to write their names on the RSVP's!!!

Your flowers looked awesome!!!

I'm the same as last week which is good because last night we went to a friends for dinner and they cooked this yummy pasta which I couldn't resist. Last week I lost so i was careful this week not to gain. Hopefully next week will be another losing week. I'm going to hit the gym harder this week than ever! Great job girls keep it up!

I am sooo excited to see this first thing this morning. AWESOME Heidi, you made such a gorgeous bride. I am so happy for you guys and thankful everything turned out to be the way you wanted it to be. AHHHH congrats again!

Hey Lisa, Happy Birthday! Hopefully the weather is being a little nicer to you in Toon Town! Enjoy it for all it's worth!

ah I missed it last night, hopefully my DVR pulled though!

I wonder if she'll make it on BDW today? I miss her posts an can't wait to hear about all the details. Robin emailed me to tell me that it was a GORGEOUS day. I keep checking her blog in hopes of finding teaser photos but no luck. Welcome back Mrs. Heidi and Mr. Reggie!!!

i don't know if that place would be Elsie's best interest IMHO. From what you said some red flags went up which causes concern. Do you get a say Tammy in if these people get to adopt her?

I love people watching too!!! Glad I'm not the only weirdo lol j/k Oh you and your new DH are going to have such a fabulous time. What a great place to honeymoon. It was such a rainy day the day we decided to venture to the outlets, even with my umbrella, I was soaked from head to toe. I was in a miserable mood so i didn't buy anything. I think I was whining too lol. Some of my gfs bought some stuff though. Still a bit pricey form what I can remember. I'm not sure about what area to stay in, I didn't do the research for that trip. sorry!

We had our welcome dinner at the Botana restaurant and it was very nice. My MIL, FIL and uncle brought their guitars and instruments and played music for us after the dinner. It was so relaxing and we got to watch the sunset. La Botana is along the water, so you get a nice ocean breeze and the best view to watch the sunset!! How many guests do you have? We had 55 and they just sectioned off a part of the restaurant for us, which i was OK with and it didn't bother me. Another thing to consider is that it's a buffet at La Botana but I don't know if that's an issue for you or not. We had our wedding dinner at the air conditioned Brazilian restaurant; Nayarit. It was great because that restaurant is very difficult to get reservations at (because it's smaller and very popular) and the a/c was very much needed the day of our 109 degree wedding lol! It is plated service as well at the Nayarit and it is smaller therefore the whole restaurant was strictly my guests. No one else was there. I got to play dinner music over the sound system, not that anyone noticed but me! Another thing to consider is at the Nayrit we only had an hour and a half because we had to get out by 8:30 for the next seating. At la Botana you would not be as rushed because it is buffet. let me know if I can help with any other input or suggestions.

Wonderful review. I read it ALL too! I've never heard about the music mistake being good luck but hey that's cool! I can't wait to see more pictures. I totally understand the part about rushing people with pictures too. Every minute is like another $100!! lol

Court you have such a beautiful hair color, I'm jealous. lol How does your hair hold curls? And what does it do in humid weather?

He put it down on the table and told me about talking to the bakery person to find out about the frosting, I took one look at the cake and said "I think thats whipped frosting" and sure enough it was. It was still really good though, chocolate inside. But it's going away tomorrow. I want the damn carrot, hahaha! Mmm sounds scrumptious maybe you should send me a piece. Think it would make it? LOL

I really like the second one. I'm really into the initials and monograms though. The color combo you used works really well

She is gorgeous dog! awwwww poor lil' thing. I hope it doesn't happen again

Leia - I would still go. I went to France a few years ago in the month of January and I loved every second of it. Actually Paris was my least favorite I found because the men were kind of creeping me out. I went with a group of girls, so that's probably why You on the other hand with be with your hubby!! I say go! Seriously it will be a very romantic honeymoon. I remember seeing alot of couples and wishing that J was there with me to experience it all. What do you guys have in mind for touristy things you want to see and do?!

That is so scarry and sad. I am so sorry you had to witness your baby in that kind of state. I'm happy Sheeba seems better now. Our friends dog had been having seizures and she was told to put some herb in her water to help. I can't remember what it was but I will check with her and I'll let you know so you can research it. Or maybe the vet will mention something. Do you have a photo of Sheeba, I cant recall what that breed looks like and I would love to see a photo of her!

More photos, more photos!! BTW your cake looks amazing

happy birthday Jill - go for it and eat as much cake as you want regardless of what Glenda said kidding!

I got the starfish and shell from a local shell shop along the beach here in Florida. You may want to check out Michaels or a local craft store. You never know what they carry.

Well i didn't want Aldo... but he still showed up. i was like who the heck is this guy? lol turns out it was aldo.
