jajajaja

Angela- I'm not in shape. I used to be and it's so sad for me to try to do this and struggle. You can definitely do it though. It's very hard, but doable. If I can do it, I'm sure most can.

Everyone is requesting the bright green because of st. patty's day. They can rock the green, but I'm going straight for pink. I just went to NY last summer. It's a great plane ride.

Ok I can't read the Spanish but I did recognize "Mayan Place." The pics under it were awesome! So beautiful. I can't wait to see your wedding!

Oh and Moragan, I have that denise austin pilates too. I can't handle her talking. I think she may inspire me though because I cuss at her the whole time working out. It's pretty fun.

My calves hurt so bad at work yesterday I was considering taking the elevator but then I feel like a loser because I only have to go up one floor! It's def a good sore, but I still whine about it. haha You don't do kenpo? It reminds me a lot of tae bo. FI and I have fun doing the work outs together. It's great bonding time. I'm not sure what type of yoga it is Kash. This was my first attempt at doing yoga. I was not successful. Apparently I'm not that flexible because it hurt too bad and several moves I couldn't even get myself to bend into.

You do P90X? OMG!! FI and I have been doing it for 6 weeks. He used to lift weights competitively (I think he still holds the world record for his weight class in the dead lift) and he thinks this is the best workout. I just did chest and back today and I thought my arms were so tired I wouldn't be able to wash my hair! We do everything except yoga. We both hate yoga. We bought a pull up bar but I use bands. Plyometrics is the best butt kicker- along with ab ripper x. I'm so happy I have someone to talk to about it besides FI. He loves it and I cry about being sore all the time.

I want to look at the wedding pics. What's the site? Great review Edna. I can't wait- 5 more weeks..yay!!! We will definitely check out Mandala. What part of PV is it in?

To make it your siggy, go to usercp (its in the upper left corner.) Select edit signature. Paste the picture in your siggy the same way as you pasted it in this thread. Pretty easy.

Wonderful picks. Everything looks great together. Can't wait to see the final outcome but 2009 is so far away. I hope I'm still kickin it by then.

What's 2 sets of cups? They double layer them? My dress is so big in the top and my seamstress (who I think is actually kind of difficult) just insisted on tightening my corset so there wasn't any space between the loops. That not only made it so I couldn't breathe, but it created freaking fat in my back. Hello I'd rather have everyone look down my top then have fat in my back. At least I think I would. haha I go in for my 2nd fitting today. Hopefully I can get this figured out and if I have to double up my cups I'm totally for it.

My FI tried really hard for tuxedo tshirts. I'm very thankful I do it all. I won't complain to much though because I totally forgot he did help me with the STDs. He did the paper punch and he actually tried really hard to do it good.

Awesome! Can't wait to get them. I hope I will have time to make them cute!

Awww that's sweet of her. We have a few MOB here.

I've been to Reno a lot. I grew up in Southern Oregon so it was only a 4 hr drive for us. Played a lot of softball there! Very sad indeed. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the story but Oregon State Univ. had a girl get kidnapped and was never found. I believe they have a suspect in custody but I'm not sure if he was ever convicted for the murder. In the fall, another Oregon State student was attacked by a man when she was walking to her car. She was able to fight him off and proved some information to the police dept. My sister attends OSU so it was a very scary time- especially since she has a few night classes. Some campuses REALLY need to figure out a way to make them safer. I walked my sisters campus with her during her frosh orientation and I even remarked then how many large bushes/lack of lighting made the campus truly unsafe at night. I hope they find this guy! It's terrifying when horrible crimes like these happen anywhere- but they especially rock small communities to the core.

haha especially the crazy laugh at the end. Too funny Drea.

Plus anything named Margarita has the be the shiznit. This thread is so pretty!

Cute siggy! Welcome back and congrats!!!

So if Reno/LV is sinful, why this funeral? Because it made national news? Tons of people are buried every day there- that makes no sense. So this is the first I have heard of this story (I must be in a moving bubble and can't watch tv). Have they had any type of ID on this guy? So scary! I hope they get this resolved soon. My heart goes out to the family of the girl. I can't imagine trying to grieve when you have @ssholes protesting her funeral. That's just sickening.

I so would not do business with that resort because of that clause. It's so bitchy written too. Are you paying them or they doing it as a favor or gift?

Ok I'm going to be mean but Aubrey's make up has reminded me too much of a hooker/tranny lately. It's just so obnoxious.

Awesome. That's not bad at all. I'm moving into our new house on Friday. That would be such a great touch- a new monogram for our new bedroom!

I love the monogram above the bed. So cute! I couldn't find the cost on this. Is it super expensive stuff?

You know you are addicted when FI says "You know, I think I'm going to start counting all the times you say 'Girls from the forum said/did this'." Don't worry- I smacked him.

I went through this the first couple months of planning. Then I quickly realized I'm going to do what I want if he doesn't want to give input. Worked out perfectly! If we needed to discuss something extra (like adding an unbudgeted element) I did talk to him about it. But if it was already budgeted and agreed upon that we would have something, then I just picked it out and did it myself. Guys aren't interested in this type of thing. Find some friends who enjoy planning with you or come to the forum. It will make it 10x easier to leave the FI out of the decision making process.
