I just got back from voting and am eating breakfast before heading out to work. Woo-hoo. I'm stuck at work all day and then class all night, so I'm going to have to get my election updates via cell phone.

I used Orbitz to book our (my and Brian's) tickets. We just booked airfare through them and nothing else. However, I must say, HUGE pain in the butt. The customer service is absolutely TERRIBLE! Calls are outsourced, which I essentially have no problem with, however when the language barrier makes it impossible for anything to get accomplished during the phone call I do have a problem. It was a super frustrating experience for me and they kept putting me on hold FOREVER and I got disconnected like 3 times. I was in tears because I was so mad and made Brian deal with them.

He is sooo cute, Carrie! I'd want to just give him kisses and hugs all day long! I love that he's all about that box

I don't think any of us can tell you what to do. You need to decide that for yourself. I think that even though you thought he wouldn't attend, when you put that offer (invitation) out there you need to accept the possibilty that whoever it is may actually come. I can understand why you wouldn't want him there, but if you truly had absolutely no desire for him to attend, you wouldn't have given him a STD... pressure from sisters or not. Because you haven't heard directly from him that he is coming, as of right now it's all rumor. You can either call him yourself and express your feelings to him about his possible presence at the wedding, or you can let the anxiety of it all get to you (which would probably make things worse). You stated the worst that can happen in your eyes... that he will bash you at the wedding. But the best that can happen is that he doesn't bash you and instead respects that this is your wedding day and attempts to repair your relationship. But until you talk to him directly the anxiety of "what if" is going to be there. Good luck! I hope it all works out.

I agree. I don't think it's your place to judge if her decision was valid or not. She made a very personal choice and it only concerns herself and the father of the baby.

Cute!!! We got one from Things Remebered (I think that's the name of it. It's that store in most malls that personalizes stuff). Anyway, we have it on our side table by the couch which is by the window. I think the summer sun discolored it because it's all yellowed now (the actual holder). So keep it away from direct sunlight!

No advice or knowledge on c-sections, but I'm so happy for you Martha!!! I can't wait to see cute little Noah pictures!

I already get telemarker calls on my cell phone. Oh no, does this mean I'll get more!!! I hate how they still call my home phone even though I'm on the no call list. I'll sign up again.

I'm watching the "lost scenes" episode right now. I know other people have said it, but I haven't really noticed it until now, Heidi has changed her appearance soooo much. She was so much prettier before. Like way prettier. It sucks she thought she needed to "improve" her look with all that surgery and hair bleach.

Project Runway: Photos - Season 5 - Official Bravo TV Site I loved that dress too. I'd buy it! Thanks for that link. I finally just watched this episode tonight. I was pulling for Korto. I like Leann, but her collection got boring for me fast. At least Kenely didn't win. She's such a brat!

I LOVE Old Navy for kids clothing. I've gotten so much stuff for Aiden there and it's always been easy on my wallet.

I just learned about this site when someone posted it on that thread Nicole started about Grocery Game. It's pretty neat. I've used it (CouponMom) a few times.

Happy Anniversary, Mel! Oh and Jared too

You know what's funny... if I remember correctly that's not the first time they told Kenely her work looked like it had already been in an established designers collection. I forgot what challenge it was, but they mentioned that the piece she made looked like something that was already on the runway and she had a fit. She SWEARS she doesn't look at collections though...

I really liked that person and think they are a great designer. That's all I will say for now. And yes, Kenley's dress was so ridiculous! Who would wear that!??!!? I was bummed about who went home too. Although, honestly, what I saw from the collection I was thinking "Ewww." It just was just a little too tacky in my opinion. I'm surprised because I usually like that designer's stuff.

I love those animal humidifiers! Aiden has the penguin one even though I really wanted the frog one. The store was always out of that when we went Anyway, Aiden slept in my room with me (sometimes co-sleeping, sometimes not) until he was about 4 months and then he went into his room. I definitely wanted to keep him in my room with me those first few months since he was born during the winter and even with the heat on, our house had a tendency to get rather cold. He did sleep with the overhead ceiling fan on during the summer months. We originally bought a regular mattress from Babies R Us, but then I found organic crib mattresses (which I had no idea were available) and we sprung for one of those.

Haha. That is so cute. Great picture idea. He's (your nephew) is adorable!!!

I just have to point out that we should be very careful about labeling this young boy as a definite future serial killer or psychopath. Although studies have been done that have found that many sadistic criminals do have a history of animal abuse, not all children who have occurances of animal abuse grow up to be killers, psychopaths or sociopaths. Labeling is a very dangerous thing to do. I agree he does need some sort of therapy intervention, but none of us are foreseers into the future and none of us know what this child's family dynamics or what his hsitory of mental illness is so let's please not label someone so young based off a few lines in a news article. OK, off my psychology soapbox now. Sorry, it's my career/area of study!

Finally!!!

I heard about this on the news this morning. Very strange story. I'm still not totally sure how the kid managed to hop the fence and commit these acts unsupervised. He defintely needs therapy to explore where all this aggression came from. Personally the line about him having a blank expression on his face while doing this is the scariest part of all.
