So that's what they're called! My son has these too. Every night like clockwork at 3am here he comes. He says there are monsters in his room too. Lately he has been sleeping with us and FI HATES it! Wow - I don't know what to say to help as I am in the same boat! It's like they are in this semi-awake state and nothing you can do can make them stop. I don't know. Our life isn't hectic or anything. Our little guy is home with dad days and me nights and both of us are with him during the weekend. We don't fight or argue. Quite frankly - our son is spoiled and absolutely knows he is loved because I tell him probably 8 times a day! I'm not sure Erica. When my daughter was little I made her a bottle of "Monster Spray" - (Colored water) and we sprayed it around her room before she want to bed at night. The thing is she was scared - before she went to bed. Where as I have to fall asleep with my son and then take him to his room. Otherwise he sleeps with us. Which I admit...is getting very old! I wake up and my back is killing me or my arm is numb from sleeping on it all night.

Congratulations! Now on to MEXICO!! Woo-Hoo!

Oh Marla! Great pictures! You looked so beautiful! Everythng looks wonderful! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

I think fi bought the same garmet bag at the dollar store that you bought Celina. Ha! Is it gray? I bought 3 of them. A white one, a gray w/ blue trim and a gray w/ red trim. I think the white one is see-thru so I dug deeper into the bin and found some gray ones. OMG you guys...I am trying to be good and eat some breakfast...I don't think I'll eat another thing until tomorrow - I feel like crap! I had a bowl of Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal. That stuff has SO many oats and barley stuff in it - I swear - it expanded in my stomach! Eeeww....I feel sick! Like over stuffed. Then I am so thirsty so drinking water is adding to the problem! YUCK!! So if you guys want to eat breakfast that will keep you full for the entire day, eat some of that cereal! It will totally do it for you! I can't gain any weight. That woman pulled and pinned my dress so there is NO room for adjusting. I am on a strict diet till the wedding! I was even thinking of doing a flush of some sort (sorry if TMI). NOT that colon cleanse thing that everyone was doing a couple of months ago; just something to get the system cleaned out.

Erica - everything looks great - it all came together beautifully! Gotta love all the bling and your dress is freakin' amazing! Good luck sweetie ~ cant' wait for pics when you get back!

Mom convinced her to buy him some swim trunks and a speedo. The swim trunks will be packed in her bag and the speedo in his. Mom is also giving him a thong to wear on the beach. This is sort of a initiation for any guys that travel somewhere tropical with my Mom. None of the guys that have ever got one has worn it on the beach, but they have all got one, even Larry! OMG Erica - those are hillarious! Your mom has a great sense of humor! Quote: Originally Posted by amyrak Hola chicas!! I was cracking up at all the oldies but goodies on my playlist.

Great job! Quote: Originally Posted by amyrak Oh, also forgot I ordered some earrings off of Etsy to wear on my wedding day. Here is a link to them Etsy :: kgarnerdesigns :: Pick Your Colors on Sterling Silver - Crystal Cluster Earrings We are getting legally married on Oct 31st. Halloween!! I think anyways..waiting to see if they do them that day. Seeing as we are getting married on Thanksgiving we want to keep it in with the holidays.. ha Amy - those are SO pretty! My legal day is Oct. 31st too! I'm wearing chandalier earrings and no necklace or bracelet. I've been busy this weekend! Got a final count on OOT bag stuff. Finished my straggling projects. Working on my blumeboxes. My BM's came over Friday night and knocked out some stuff with me which was awesome. I went in to get my dress fitted on Saturday. I think it will be fine. I got a smokin deal - she only had to pull in the straps and two seams. She charged me $8 per seam and my total is $16!!! I will get my dress back on Saturday! I found a garment bag at the DOLLAR STORE! Granted it's not as heavy as my other bag, but it will work. Tara - PM me your address and I'll get my bag in the mail to you when I get my dress back on Saturday. Keep in mind the bag I'm sending you is very long, white and you can't see thru it. It does say "David's Bridal" on it. I picked up a lot of odds and ends at the dollar store. OOHhh...one of my favorite finds was a 3-pack of stick up Snuggle air fresheners. I am going to put them in our suitcases - and a 2 pack of Diego playing cards for the kids. I got us all new toothbrushes and was able to sort a lot of the stuff we are taking. I am pretty much done. I can't believe it! I am waiting for a couple of things I ordered to come in, and we need to get new Croc flip flops, but other than that I'm ready! I just need to pack. Wow guys...we are next!!

YADI!! Have an AMAZING time! I can't wait to hear all about it and be careful on those infamous stairs at LC!!! LOVE YOU!

It is intriguing to watch, yet seeing someone defeated is bothersome too..you are right.

YES - they are a little see through. He will definetely have to wear a white boxer the other kind of underwear. FI has the ivory and you can kind of see through them.

FI and our GM's ordered their pants from them. FI has the ivory linen pants and the quality of the linen is far superior than anything you'll find at Macys or Dillards. I washed them before taking them to get hemmed and OMG - for linen in the dry Colorado air - they feel so soft and sumptious compared to the linen pants I bought him at Macy's.

Ha - Brooke you are rockin' those pink shoes - LOVE THEM! Congrats girl!

I would look at myself in the mirrow and thing "yeah this is enough" but then I'd take a picture and it wasn't enough at all. So taking some pictures of my face in the process of applying the make up really helped me figure out how much to use and where. If anyone looked at my camera they might think I'm nutso!! ALl these pictures of my half make up'd face! OMG Tara, that is hillarious! I do the exact same thing though. I feel like I put on enough make up, but in pics I look horrible. My headshot for work is HORRIBLE!! I look totally wiped out! Quote: Originally Posted by tvt Girls, I just wanted to say: ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!! That TOTALLY ROCKS!! Michelle - I would go pick up that kid and take him yourself. You may have to hit the clearance aisles at ROSS or TJ Max or some place like that to find some summer stuff, but you should be able to find something. What a PITA for you! If you can't take him yourself, maybe just do what Erica suggested. If you can't find shorts, maybe look for some khaki pants and you may have to cut off half the leg and just make them into shorts. I hope something works out for you. Chiquita - I am SO excited for you and Jayson that his dad is able to make it. How wonderful! Enjoy this last month and enjoy your shower. That is awesome! I've been swamped at work but I just logged on to see what you guys were doing. I'm taking off tomorrow cause I need a break!! Working 6 days a week for the past two months has gotten to me. I'm taking some work home to do over the weekend but at least I'll be home and not here.

I would say color your hair for starters and get a good trim. Texturize your hair to get some lift and leave it alone for now. Once it's gone, it's not coming back that fast! BTW - I am totally considering one of the hair styles above after the wedding too!

I managed to get a pic of my dress yesterday. Unfortunately we are getting new hardwood floors in so fi moved all of our furniture into the room where our home computer is in. So i cant get to my computer so i can attach my camera to it (the wire is in there too). Boo on me! But i promise when the floors are in and we move back our furniture i will post the pic. I cant wait to show you girls! I got my makeup done at the Laura Mercier counter this past weekend. I loved it. the girl did a great job. I hate wearing makeup, i always want to wash it off as soon as i get home. This makeup was different. I didnt even feel like i was wearing any foundation. It was great. I had my makeup done at 12 and it stayed on pretty well. And it didnt get cakey or gross. I bought a ton of stuff and it wasn't cheap but i thought it was well worth it. And now i'm going to start wearing makeup more. I only wear it for special occassions which is like 5 times a year lol. Looks like you ordered a lot of stuff Celina. I love receiving packages in the mail, dont you girls? I received my starfish for my bouquet from Alyssa. its so purdy! And Erica you got a crapload of diy projects done. I havent. I cant wait to get my computer at home back so i can get some stuff done. Yay on the makeup! I hate that feeling of a face full of makeup. FI teases me that I am a crab unless I get stuff in the mail. I'll probably have withdrawls after the wedding! HA! Quote: Originally Posted by DanielleNDerek Guys have it so easy. Maybe she's just wedding'd out. She's probably not that into wedding planning as you and I. So maybe she just needs a little break from wedding stuff and talk and she'll be fine. I know my sis (moh) always says to me, "all you talk about is wedding stuff" so when she says that i stop talking about wedding stuff. Which is so hard to do! lol YES - I agree the men have it SO easy! No special undergarments, no hair, no make up to worry about. They suck! FI and I got into a spat this morning over day passes. He was mad because I didn't tell him we were paying for 2 of my family members when he didn't bat an eye at paying for six of his family members. I swear he has selective memory. I feel like everything is on my shoulders as far as planning goes. He hasn't helped with ANY of the projects. Hopefully on Friday he can get going on some music. I prefaced an e-mail yesterday to my BM's with, "I know all I talk about is wedding stuff and I apologize...BUT" I think if others were in our shoes they would be as obsessed as we are! OH guess what? .... I got a phone call from my travel agent saying he was quitting his job in 2 weeks!! He said he should have everything done with my wedding by then. I was like Everything should be in order. He better not screw anything up! Or he'll get this

OMG!! - they have a lot of sponsors! Two months ago someone at work mentioned this to me. He said his cousin did it and they live in Vegas. He said they saved a lot of money and got a lot of stuff for free. Personally - I wouldn't do it. My initial reaction is that it's tacky. I guess whatever floats your boat. To each his own KWIM?

Four places that I go to over and over: Work, Jada's School, Grocery Store, Gas Station Four people who e-mail me (regularly): Melissa, Michelle, Irene and SPAMMERS!! (ugh) C)Four of my favorite places to eat: Tacos y Salsa, Chubby's, PF Changs, Olive Garden D) Four places I would rather be right now: At home, in Puerto Vallarta, In the mountains, some place cool with all my BDW girls having cocktails E) Four people I think will respond: Everyone. It seems like a boring day! F) Four TV shows I watch: Bridezillas, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Ghost Hunters, Dr. Phil G) List something life has taught you through the years! You can pick your friends but not your family!

We went with the travel candles. Bought them at Michaels and put our monogram on top and included personalized matches in the candle.

Cool with the pants! I ended up ordering one of the GM's shirts and as luck would have it they were 1/2 off! He totally lucked out!

Trisha - everything looks amazing girl! You did a wonderful job!

Good morning Chicklets! I'm here! I was super busy at work yesterday and I"ll be busy again today - (UGH!) I am so ready for vacation it isn't funny. Tara I sent you the menu info. I hope it helps! I am having part two of my final assembly party on Friday. My BM's are coming over and we are going to knock out the rest of the stuff I need to do. That will be a HUGE weight off my shoulders! I scheduled our appointment for our legal day. We'll be getting hitched on Friday, October 31st at 11:30am! My step mom got my son's pants done. She made him some white linen pants. They are too cute and fit him perfectly! I had a major face break out. I swear - I think it is my office phone. I have two huge zit's right were the piece you talk into hits your chin! UGH!! (Sorry if TMI) I am totally grossed out about it too! My phone headset is acting weird so maybe I'll put everyone on speaker phone - that will really irritate them! I ordered a sash and flower for my daughters dress - oh and I ordered myself a teal/peacock colored satin bag with a rhinestone handle (bling of course!) to hold my wedding day makeup and emergency kit so we don't have to keep going to the room for touch ups. I really like it. My MOH is acting weird. Every time I ask her about wedding stuff, her attitude is like "whatever". So I am going to give her some space. I know she is going - her trip is paid for, but whatever - she'll get over whatever her problem is. I think that's about it on my side. I am going to look for a new bag for my dress this weekend so I can get that bag sent to you Tara. How is everyone else doing?

I ordered a strapless/convertible bra from Bras and Swimsuits Store Specializing in Bra Sized Intimates, Swimwear, and Shapewear including Full Figure Bras and Plus Size Swimsuits It came pretty fast and OMG - it totally holds you up. I am a DDD and was pleasantly surprised with the lift! They only had granny white - but beggars can't be choosey! I was happy and the girls are up in place so I can wear a strapless sun dress!

Wow - what an amazing necklace! I thin kit will go good with your dress and the sweetheart neckline. Definitely adds pizazz. I agree to not go so ornate. The necklace will end up competing with the lace on the dress and it could look too busy.

Oooh...cute pic - great style! I say go with the flower!
