Nope. I wasn't sure if everyone received their book yet or if anyone started reading yet.

Ok I've had two versions of this sandwhich. The first is slices of rye bread, cream cheese spread, avocados, cucumbers, tomoates with either turkey or chicken breast. The second version was wheat bread, avocados, cream cheese and turkey. BOTH ARE AMAZING. So healthy and so yummy! Anyone else love these?

I finished the book last night. I have to say I really liked it. Now I have to wait to discuss it! Anyone else liking it?

Ok I LOOOVE it. I wear it everyday! It is my new makeup. I love that its organic. It has a slightly different smell than other makeup but not bad or anything. So I totally recommend it.

Yikes! I would totally call them on it. Plus if your mom hasn't thrown the shower I would cancel it. And then when SIL wants to know. Say " I didn't want to BARGE in on you" For real that is rude. I know people like that (family). They only want the favors and gifts. I'm sure when they want a break they'll ask for babysitting for free. I would decline, until she gets real. And yes your BRO needs to step up. Her parents got to hold the baby, it's his child too. He needs to grow a pair! My sister told us we should come up when she was in labor saying we could be in there blah blah. So we took off WORK and came up. As soon as we get there she tells us to leave. So we go to the waiting room and then are told NO leave the hospital. WTF? I took off work to do this. I was PISSED. My other sister did the same thing. She didn't even call to say she was in labor. Personally, I'm not having anyone come over either. But b/c that was done to me. But my MIL lives next door and she can come over whenever she wants! Your parents sound like dolls! Can I have them? HAHA. Seriously though confront them! I would!

I didn't have a bridal party. I only had both sets of parents and my DH's cousin come. While I am happy I didn't have the stress of picking dresses I did feel very alone on my wedding day. I got my hair done ALONE, did my makeup ALONE, my MIL came and helped me with my dress. My mom's plane was cancelled so she made it late and we had to stall the wedding. I felt a bit hurt b/c I was MOH and BM's for my sisters wedding and they didn't come to mine. But oh well. I had GF's say they were coming but they didn't. So I do wish I had some girls to help me get ready but I'm glad I didn't have the stress of gifts and dresses.

Ok my league drafts in the next 24 hours. Just FYI.

I think you're my other twin! We have the same dress and same color scheme! You did great! Everything looks amazing. Can't wait till you get back!

Holy crap! that's so crazy! My two sisters were preggo at the same time. But they didn't have the same due date. Thats totally awesome.

I'm so glad to see good news. Its horrible what some people will do. I was a CASA and worked with CPS and somethings I heard were horrendous. I'm glad to hear everything went good. You deserve to celebrate. I wonder if anything bad will happen to your X-sis for making false report. In texas I know you can get some heat for doing that.

Just wanted to bump so everyone knows we picked a NEW BOOK! I'm reading it and it's pretty interesting.

I'm so sorry! I too want to punch her in the face. But making false accusations can get her in a ton of trouble. I guess she didn't realize that before hand. I'll have you in my thoughts!

When we went to the South County Mall we saw Tungsten rings there. If you want to try them. ETA: I just realized you're not in STL. But if they have them it might be worth the drive. Or buying it online. Thats what we did.

I did similar to pp's. I packed my 3 vases in clothing and put them tight in the middle of checked luggage. It didn't even move. But on the way home I put the full one in my carry on.

I would make sure the beach party is on that Friday. Sometimes they don't have it or they switch the days. Ours was not on a friday when we were there. I know there is a ton of threads about what to do with an earlier ceremony I would try searching that. I didn't like the beach party when we were there but I know other girls did. It might of been just a rare occurance. I'm sure other brides can pitch in though!

My DH tried his on at Zales which is a chain store. It's owned by Gordon's jeweler. But we ended up buying it online for cheaper.

When we were moving out of our apartment we found a huge and I mean HUGE patch of wax that we didn't know dripped on the carpet. So I googled how to get it out. We placed a brown paper on the stain and then ironed it till all the wax is gone. We didn't use ice to make it hard b/c it had been there for so long. But if it hasn't been long use ice cubes to make it hard then iron off. I don't know about the color stain. I'd might try vinegar if like shout or something doesn't work. But the iron definately works. If you don't have a brown paper bag use a paper towel! Hope that helps.

Congratulations! Those shirts are cute!

I just spent a crapload trying to find a font to use and then a color! I wish you could test it out before buying it. Oh well! ETA: I just realized I'm an idiot. I could of used the font like I was writing a post! My dumb blonde moment of the day!

We also did the sand ceremony. We gave the words to Chandlyn and the sand and vases. She set it up. The judge stumbled a bit by repeating a section but it was fine. We were asked at customs what it was. We just said it was from our wedding and it was fine.

I order from this SAHM. She got back to me so fast. I ordered a necklace for mothers day and she made sure to get all seven letters on there even though she wasn't sure. Seven letters for seven kids. My mom LOVES it! Etsy :: daisymay :: Daisymay

Ok I wanted to join but it was full..so I started BDW 2! So more of us can join if wanted. I'm not sure how it fully works I'm still learning. Anyways the name of the leauge is BDW League 2 and the password is bdwgirls2 heres the homepage Fafarazzi.com - Fantasy Celebrity League - BDW League 2

Ok ya'll are gonna be shocked. I NEVER watched the show. I know tragic. I mean I've seen parts of maybe 2 of the episodes. But never a full episode. So wouldn't I be totally lost if I saw the movie?? My sister wants to know too because she's never watched it either. But the hype makes us want to see it.

I got married December 18 and got home and my reception on the 23rd. Everyone was fine with it. Though everyone wanted us to do christmas theme. UGH! We had no problem with attendance. Though everyone was headed that way for Christmas anyways. But I guess it depends. If you give enough notice people will plan for your reception and not make other plans.
