Im just ordered all of my canvas bags for my oot bags from LandsEnd. I think there is a sale - save 9 bucks if you buy 3 or something like that! I should be getting them maybe in a week. I think your bm s will use those bags year round unlike the straw bag. LLBean also have lots of totes! I got my FIL's oot from there. Its water proof.

So SEXY!!! I loved the one of you laying on the bench!

Please let me know how this goes through since you do it before me... I assume if you survive I may have a chance I graduate July 18 (in the UK) fly to Japan July 19 Fly to Fiji July 24 Marry July 30 Fly to NZ Aug 3... whew!!!

Thanks for the info. Sadly I dont think I will be able to bring on that many bags. I am thinking about wearing a lot of stuff over and over... I have to pack for Summer (fiji) and Winter (New Zealand) weather... Sucks huh? Thinking I could just buy clothes when I got to New Zealand.... Denise, you dont have to do OTT bags! Lucky You! Im mailing out a bag (travel bags) prior to the wedding and giving them one when I get to the resort.

Seriously, I don't think you need to do much other than tone. You can lose some inches and still enjoy the food you love. Adding excersize and cutting your portions is the key. I'm realistic. No way can I deprive myself long term, so I find its easier to compensate by working out a little bit more. I'm just now getting into my excercise regimen, but its coming along and I'm being patient with myself. Also, keep in mind...as Afr. Amer. women, some stuff is a given. We tend to have more dense muscle mass, and as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. From your pic, it looks to me that you carry your weight beautifully and no one would ever guess the actual lbs. Thats the only important thing. Stop looking at the scale. It is not your friend, in fact, its a downright enemy to all of us trying to get a better body. Stick to a tape measure and moniter your progress every two weeks instead of every week. You'll be boosted by the results you're getting because they will be more dramatic opposed to if you were checking every week. Above all, stop dogging yourself! You are beautiful, you are sexy, you are FIERCE. Screw that damn scale, girl. Youre so sweet Savannah! You may be right about AA muscle mass... I told one of my friends how much I weigh and she looked at me in amazement and said " Why do you weigh so much more than me and you look smaller than me?" I wear 2 sizes smaller than her and I am 20lbs more than her!!! Crazy!!! I think its all about were the weight is distributed...

I loVe Gardenridge Pottery!!! Ever since I was 8 I always said that when I grew up I would stay home and shop at Gardenridge everyday! lol Now I am grown up - Im too far from Gardenridge and I guess at 8 I didnt know much about money! lol

Good Luck with the move!

Not at all... I have a DW specialist that organize the people that book. I also got online RSVP emails back from my website but when people started to inquire - they all changed their minds because the trip was too expensive for them.

Congrats!!!! I cant wait to get home and view your photos!

I did two things: Charity Registry first because I didnt want gifts but people start to ask you if you are registered and if you say charity - they may look at you wierd (like they did us) So we registered at an Airlines. I really cant imagine getting anymore crap for the house. If so, I would end up scanning stuff I really wouldnt use... Thinking about it... I got so much stuff that I dont already use!

Its hard...Im sure my gpa has dropped.
