Im a May 2009 bride and sent them about about a week and a half ago- just to get people to start thinking ahead...

I'm impressed ladies! Fi and I feel like we are the only people who recycle in our building cause all we see in there is our stuff and we recycle every piece of cardboard not just the big ones. I sort of feel like our super hates us but oh well! I don't really have any new ideas to add and I already do several of the ones mentioned in the past threads. What I can do that I read above still is: - get rid of all harsh chemicals ( I still have some left, some green stuff tho) -unplug power strips when not in use. (been meaning to do this) - we are mostly organic but not 100% yet Thanks!

Morning ladies!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I went to the gym and did 10 mins on the treadmill and 30 mins on the elliptical. That was all I could muster up though. I have been having a real hard time getting up early since my internship is taking it's toll so I'm glad that I have support here. Here's my plan for now... Breakfast: 1/2 cantaloupe and 1/2 cup n/f cottage cheese and some melba toast crackers. In WW land that's 5.5 points Lunch: salad with a little tuna ( trying to keep it low- meeting a friend for dinner) Snacks : apple/carrots *since I had wine last night, I will have to excercise some discipline and not drink tonight so that I can eat! We can do this!

I agree with Laybar. Based on your spreadsheet I would go with Stanton Social. It's a cool spot and good location. Blue water grill has great food but not a fun atmosphere at all. More stuffy and sort of an older crowd at night. I am trying to remember the name of a spanish tapas place where I had my borthday in the meatpacking district and I can't. Starts with a K... really cute and they move tables and have someone spinning and people dance after 11. If i think of it ill let ya know! It was a while a go

Planning on doing 40 minutes of cardio tomorrow morning around 6 am along with abs. Not looking forward to it and i hate the scale especially since i have my monthly visitor. I ate healthy all day and counted ww points but then dinner went to @#$t. I had 2 glasses of wine and way too much pita bread at the amazing greek place down the street. Tomorrow is a new day. On the upside my weight should be down next week because I usually gain around 3 lbs this time of the month. Good luck ladies!

I am too Missy! I get a little shot of anxiety when i don't see a review- like things went off or something. They are prob just swamped, but I hear you! ...ladies are you out there?...

jaime- I completely forgot about envelopes too and because I was in a "rush" to get them out I just bought craft paper weight #10 envelopes. For me the magnet idea was done to be simple and cute so it worked. If you feel that the magnet is "flimsy" which I didn't really.. you can put a piece of cardboard in the envelope with it. All my guests received them and everyone has commented on how cute and what a great idea it is- and also the size. They like that it's bigger than a business card and on their fridge. I was thinking it might be too big. Glad you got the sale! good for you.

Hi Lauren, Ruby Foo's uptown and times sq are pretty much the same except that the crowd in times sq. is more touristy. Personally, I don't love it there though. You named off some cool places and Ruby's doesn't have that same vibe. If you would consider something off the beaten path -Williamsburg- try Planet Thai. Very cool huge place and they have a dj spinning. Half the menu is japanese and half is thai at mega affordable prices. Great drinks too. That would be a really cool not right in the city spot. But I think that the whole point was to have it right in the city so that may not be what you want... Sushi samba is fun and prob the vibe you want. I don't see it being much less expensive though. They also have a rooftop bar. If I had to choose location for Sushi samba I would do the one in greenwhich village but both locations seem to be full of attitude with no reason in my opinion. I need to keep thinking cause you named off my pan asian type pics. Are you open to other food options or do you want to keep it asian?

here you go http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/gall...ndex_designs=0 There is a vertical or horizontal option on the top. Let me know if this works for you.

You can absolutely create your own for only $4.99 to upload your own photo. I''m certain of that becuase I think I only paid something like $70 for the entire order and I had a few other shipping costs on there for some of their "free" stuff. I want to say that the large size comes to like $1 per magnet. I thought that was inexpensive. I never checked the prices on that other website that you mentioned though. I'm also guessing that if you need more than 50 you save money- that's usually how these things work.

Hi JaimieLynn- I made a STD magnet from vistaprint. I created one with a picture of our feet in the sand that I had from when he proposed. I used the large size and I really like the way that it turned out. We have gotten nothing but compliments. Here is a screenshot of it because for some reason the link doesn't work. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...avethedate.jpg Hope that helps in your decision. I'm also a Memorial day weekend 2009 bride!

Hey Kelly- The day pass fee is $95 and I want to say it's from like 5pm-on. There is a half day pass for something like $65 and that is only up until 5pm or so. You may want to double check with Perla on those exact times though. I'm positive that there are two prices though.

I'm sitting this one out guys. I have been too crazy with school and that reading but I'll be back for the next one. Enjoy!

Congrats on finding the dress! I'm so happy for you. I love the detailed beading.

Congratulations on your legal day! You make a sweet couple. You look so pretty and happy.

They are great. i love them!

Well done! I am super duper impressed by all your work. It's going to be a beautiful wedding and your guests are sure to enjoy everything you have done. Yay!

Hi Kisa, We are set for 5:30. I agree that 3pm might be mega hot but if you are in a shady spot won't be too bad. You also may want to check with your photographer- mine requested later in the day for better lighting which I agree with.

Hello there Bianca my date twin! From NYC that is really low. I paid $550 rt when I went in June for a site visit. But yesterday I checked it just to see what was going on and it was $480. That's pretty good! flight attendant friend of mine tells me to check prices on Mon and Weds. Also, if you can flyout on those days cause they tend to be less expensive.

Wear it. You look so pretty in it. When else will you get the chance?

Kelly- are you flying out of NY? wow. I just looked it up today out of jfk and lga and it was way higher for May- which is supposed to be the "low season". Good for you!

Welcome!

Good for you. Way to find a job that you are "creating" so to speak. I think if it;s a new position at the firm then you have a lot of freedom to make it what you want it to be. good luck!

here are my faves: girls: Mia, Chiara (pron Keyara), Gabriella, Giselle Boys: Matteo, Tucker, Jake

Fiber one. Crazy amounts of fiber - but make sure you drink tons of water with it or else you might get a belly ache.
