jajajaja

I'm not Catholic so I can't comment too much but I am seriously surprised there hasn't been much progress. I know it's the Catholic church- it's not like they are evolutionary with their progress forward but comeon- this is 2008. In Jesus' time, women weren't considered equals to men. Even if Jesus had been a forward thinker in the rights of women, the people would not have followed so it was pointless to choose one as an apostle. It's contradictory how revered Mary is but yet the church cannot accept women as priests. Ok I already commented more than I intended. LOL

Wow e Wow.

I vote you splurge. It's a gift. I bet the gift givers would be so disappointed to see it go towards something unfun such as student loans. Plus student loans have such a low interest rate. Why bother?

Morgan- I wrapped all my stuff up in my clothes too. I split it up between the suitcases so one suitcases wasn't just all the crap I bought. I prevented it from banging against each other.

We wanted to do it because it looked fun. WE didn't but I've heard people say they enjoyed it. We were on the malecon one night when they fired their "cannons" ie fireworks. It was cool. I've heard the food is just so-so though but the drinks are stiff.

You could totally bring back some of those rim colored ones back from Mx. None of our loot broke on the flight back. I was surprised because we had fragile Marg. glasses too!

Maura- you are terrible. You are an accomplice to the crime. LOL

Woohoo an Italian wedding! Can't wait to see it. Welcome to the forum. Happy planning.

Sounds a lot like my family's dark secret except it was 2 men and one woman. Plus we don't really know- only suspicions.

I don't check ours. Mainly because I don't think anything has been purchased off it. LOL. I had no showers and we only registered because people kept asking us to.

LOL- what kind of kryptic crap is that? I would never guess the clues. It sounds like Hawaii to me- but that is a lot of travelling for you all. Anyways- how exciting! You must be so pumped.

Jen- Have you started to fill out forms in your maiden name yet and then cross it off and put your married name? I'm struggling HARD core and it's been a few months. Plus my signature isn't cool yet. I should have started practicing it earlier.

haha well now we have similiar hair. I'm thankful we don't live close to each other. People would begin to wonder! She is really cute though. She gets hit on a lot by the kids she works with- IN HIGH SCHOOL. LOL

And Chelsea Lately. She CRACKS me up. Her show is hysterical yet so informative of celeb gossip.

I think so Alyssa. It's a stretchy material so it has a lot of give. My mom liked it so much she went and bought one right before we left so we looked like twins. LOL She always does that!

And as someone who can't contribute much, I really appreciate all viewpoints. I haven't even started to think about this portion of my life, so it's nice to see both sides. If this discussion weren't as productive and more geared towards name calling, so many people wouldn't have the benefits of the discussion and all points would be lost. I love this forum too!

While this really really sucks, it's better you found out now what a shitty person she is than later when you really needed to count on her. She sucks- period. Even if she had ANY point to what she was trying to say to you, she acted immature and ugly. You are better off without her. I totally feel for you.

OMG- i just reread the article. I thought they were talking about the mother's 50 yr old mother- not the mother being a 50 yr old. SICK.

LOL. I love the title- almost like it's not even possible. Ugh- he bothers me and I think he is super fake. I read some report right after he won AI how he was a complete bitch backstage during Regis and Kelly. Plus that whole crazy scene between him and Kelly when he covered her mouth with his hand. GROSS!

Xhilaration® Dress Coverup - Turquoise : Target I bought it in pink and black. This is what I wore while getting ready for the wedding. It was so comfy!

Anyway, if you really try hard to stay awake...keep your eyes open (while laying in bed with the lights off). I ALWAYS fall right alseep when I do this! I hoep you can get some rest! Very interesting trick. I notice I start to fall asleep on the couch watching TV and I fight to stay away to finish watching a fav show. Then I'll go to bed and I'm wide awake. I get so pissed off. Maybe it's the trying to keep my eyes open that makes me tired. I'm going to try this!

YAY! It so cute. Congrats Heidi and Reggie.

LOL- well whoever named the store must be a few fries short too. Shopper's world- haha so silly. $4? THat's a great deal. Alyssa- I got the terry cloth cover up at Target. I loved it. You should get one of those too becuase it's so cute to just wear around with flip flops.

I third that. now you girls have me worrying about a car wreck for next season. The writers couldn't be that cruel right?
