Sending good vibes your way!

Happy birthday CASEY!!!!

Hey Martha - the Armour is working ok. My body temp is up which is good. Mainly, they think that the hypothyroidism is related to the cavitation in my jawbone (from the wisdom tooth removal May '07). I'm having surgery tomorrow to get that taken care of (thought I had posted updates of that in this thread already, but guess I didn't. Silly me... so many threads to keep up with!) Sooo I'm reaaallly hoping that this takes care of the hypothyroidism. It may not though - we'll see. I will continue to take the Armour though. I must say I did have more energy after taking it (I also take topically applied iodine, which is supposed to help the Armour work). I do still get weighed down very easily (again, they think this is related to the jawbone cavitation - most likely the toxins have leaked out into my lymphatic system and other various organs) I am on a very low dosage - like .5/grain? I'll say one thing about the Armour - if you're on too much then you'll know for sure!! Let's just say you'll be "running to the bathroom" - haha Have you given any more thought about switching to Armour now that Noah has arrived?

$80?? I swear I just saw it advertised at Target yesterday for closer to $280 or 380...?! If they are only $80 then heck yeah - snag it!

What a fun thread, Abbie Everyone's decorations look great and really put me in the Holiday Spirit! We have a ginormous (like 8-10 foot) artificial tree that my Grandparents gave us last year (they were "downsizing" - now they have a 2' tree lol). It's a great tree, don't get me wrong - but it's just so friggin' HUGE. lol Ah well, good thing we have really high ceilings. It takes so much to decorate it. This year I finally decided to stick with a theme (instead of a hodgepodge, although their is still a lil' of that - not super strict on the theme I guess). We have red lights, a white glittery light up star on top and just bought several sets of pearly-white, silver and shiny/glittery red ornaments. We also have some great ones that people have given to us (since last year was our first year doing our own tree). It took about 3 days of work (putting that tree together can be a tad cumbersome!) but we finished it on Friday and now I love it I can't stop staring at it Actually we haven't even put up all the new "color themed" ornaments up yet. Oh and Jess - is that a butterfly on your tree? I love butterflies! (But NO, this doesn't mean I want a "butterfly adult toy" ) We picked one up yesterday that is about 4 inches long and it "perches" on your tree. That's gonna make me happy (side note: when I was 17 and my Mom passed away, I walked outside the hospital and remember seeing a butterfly and knowing that was her spirit. Since then I see them everywhere. If I ever got a tattoo it would be of a butterfly. K, that was kind of random ) Quote: Originally Posted by JessicaLovesBrian She even asked me once if I wanted the "collectible Hello Kitty 'adult toy'" (aka vibrator) for god's sake! It's totally crazy. . Ok that is just freaking weird! EEK!!! I'll take a pic and post when I can (may have to wait until later this week after the surgery).

Look at all those gifts! What fun!

They are so cool. We know someone who has one. But DANG they are expensive!!!

Yay! Sounds like it was a good switch - congrats!

Doh, being the pic whore I am - you'd think I would have remembered to at least grab our photographer to take a pic of us! Silly me... It was funny coming up to you while you were talking to my Dad. He looks so young doesn't he? I think Sheldon had a hard time believing he really was my Dad! lol

Love the name! She's a cutie pie

Ashli - we don't have a cat for the same reason. It would cut our household guest list in half (though some might say that's a good thing... ) Cute kitties! My weenie dog ALWAYS has to be up in my shiznit when i'm on the computer. We call him Laptop (one of his many "aka" names)

I can't believe it's almost your day!!! CONGRATS! Great job on the DIY hair flowers - they look fantastic Have a great time, and can't wait to hear how it all worked out (fantabulous, I'm sure )

Yup, definitely a good sign when you've got a cheesy grin plastered on your face I like the back - I kinda wish mine dipped down some like that. Adds an extra "beachy"/"slightly sexy" element to it

I've not used him, but he seems like a very decent guy (on the forum at least ) and has good pics! And yeah, I'm sure you will find a lot more on him if you just "search" his name (such a wealth of "hidden" info on here! )

I'm so glad you guys came out tonight! :) It was great to meet you and Sheldon! I hope y'all had fun - sorry I couldn't hang out more, but hey, I made 2 sales so that's always good! LOL

Hey Kari! I called the gallery and let them know you and Sheldon would be in attendance. I'm hoping we have a decent crowd - there are so many things going on in Dallas tonight it's nuts! As for dress code - we used to say "Uptown Chic" (LOL) when we were located in Uptown. If that makes any sense to you then great! If not, just dress like you're going out for a fun night on the town. I probably would not wear jeans and a t-shirt but other than that, go for whatever you feel like! I'll be wearing a black sweater dress with black tights and tall black boots. If any of you other girls feel like joining in, just come on out! I'm about to leave so I won't be around. At this point I think you're fine just coming without an RSVP... just make sure to ask for me (Jaime or Jaime Lynne) so that I can say HI!

Casey, Kat & Ashley - guess what! I just found out that we'll be having an "encore" to our current show at the gallery THAT night (Thursday the 18th!). If y'all wanna meet at our gallery for a couple drinks and then (maybe) go out for a later dinner or something afterwards that would be great! Just lemme know... unfortunately I'll probably have to work, so I won't be able to get out earlier than 8-9ish (probably go in around 6:30 or so? - not sure yet it hasn't been planned 100%)... Also, my surgery got moved up to Tues instead of Thurs. But not sure I could travel out to Grapevine so soon... I'll let y'all know

Tonight's the night!

Woohoo!! Happy Bday Carly!!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by brittbrodin I love the mini brownie idea w/ the ice cream on the side. I thought about doing cake, but the only real reason I'd do it is for the pictures and we're going to get so many other great shots, I'm not too concerned. Yup, this is pretty much what I am thinking - we'd only do the cake for the pics so I'm not sure... we'll see if we have the extra cash when it comes down to it - otherwise we may just stick to the normal dessert menu. Quote: Originally Posted by kati Brittany - we are not much into cake either but don't get me wrong I love dessert. So we are having individual desserts for everyone. They can choose either chocolate mousse or creme brulee. So delicious.... They are my favourites. It's all individual I guess, whether it's cake or tequila!! It's all yummy. Holy moly! Are creme brulees included in the regular dessert menu?? That's Martin's FAVORITE - he would be so happy Quote: Originally Posted by Duchess We decided to have a cake, but we are also having smores around the bonfire! They are providing everything, for $1.50 per person. The smores idea came first, but then I decided I wanted a cake too, so now we have both. The cake is primarily for the cutting tradition, and for anyone who doesnt want to do smores. What a freaking cool idea!!! Mmm... smooorrreeesssss Great ideas, ladies! Keep 'em coming please! Woohoo!

Come on Kat, it's not that far of a drive. Heehee

K, I'll count ya in for the next one

We just moved galleries and changed names, but we've done this show for 5 years in a row now! It used to be called the "Holiday Miniature Show" (which I liked better ) but not all the artists are able to paint/sculpt "miniatures" - so they switched the title. It is so much fun because everyone is in the Christmas/Holiday Spirit and it's just a great way to end the year!

I picked #5 because it picks up your "pinkish" shade, and also your dress color, with some in between. Fun choices!

Hey Casey (and Ashli) - have them post their resumes up on Craigslist! (If they haven't already) Martin looked for a job in Construction Mgmt. for over a year, and then just put his resume up on CL on a whim. Well, that's how he got the fantastic job he has now! Also there are some great social/marketing groups in Dallas. LYNXX is one. I think they're having a party coming up soon to meet people for those purposes... let me check my email... *Edit* Here ya go!!
