*Heather*

Welcome! I'm getting married in Oct 2009 too, and we chose the Fiesta Americana Imperial Suite. Let me know if you want any info about it or pictures.

Where are you planning on having your guests stay? Why can't you all stay at either one of those resorts?

I'm also wondering how come he just didn't buy more minutes for his phone? Even just like 5 mins so he could call and quickly say "my minutes are gone! I'll call you again as soon as I can!" Or what about an email? Could he have emailed you?

I'm glad you finally talked to him. Did he say when he's going to come home?

I didn't run this morning like I should have (I'm aiming for every other day). I have had a brutal headache for 2 days in a row now, and trying to get me out of bed when I have a headache is pretty much impossible I hope it goes away ASAP so I can get up and run tomorrow!

So I ask you this: what are some local sayings or pronunciations or language quirks from where you are from? I'll start with two from Montreal: -Instead of saying terrace people say "tare-ass" (tare pronounced like care") -Any combo at a fast-food restaurant is called a trio, not combo. For some reason this bugs me! Ummm...how else do you say Terrace? Is there another way to pronounce it The biggest ones, being Canadian, are "eh?" and of course the way we say "OUT" and "ABOUT" and "HOUSE" (more like owt, abowt, and howse)

That's a great article! I relate to a lot of those points. Thanks for posting

Awesome thanks!

But I totally can't remember what character she played. I remember her going crazy and almost killing someone in a car...Dawson? Best show ever, why can't I remember?!?!?!

I don't think Cabo is ever really directly hit by a hurricane, but sometimes it might get some of the rain effects. The "rainy season" ends in mid-oct so you (and me!) are right on the tail end. I was in Cabo the last week of October in 2007 and it was SUPER hot and gorgeous and sunny every day!

In my opinion, with Great Lengths (glued in), you can't really not shampoo your hair. Maybe this is just me because my hair is thin, but when I woke up every morning my hair was pretty flat and you could see the bonds everywhere. I had to shower and blow-dry to cover up the bonds. But if your hair is thicker maybe you won't have this issue...

Oh, and you do shampoo like normal but you have to use a special brush to brush your hair. At least with Great Lengths you do. Hope that helps

I've had Great Lengths extensions twice. They last about 6 months but I had mine taken out after 4 months both times because they got too annoying and I didn't want to bother getting them "cleaned up." They didn't ruin my hair at all but they get to be a big pain in the butt since you have to always style your hair if you don't want the bonds to show through. i.e. you can't have a lazy day and put your hair in a ponytail without seeing all of the extensions around your head. The only way to be lazy really is to wear a hat. If I were to get them again I think I'd look into the clip-in ones (but get them made/done professionally) because the real ones are a big commitment and they get pretty annoying! But they do look good

I went for another run yesterday! It was a small victory considering I ate about 7000 calories this weekend while camping. S'mores, Jiffy Pop, hot dogs, bacon....mmmm. At one point we were even taking the toasted marshmallows off the stick, stuffing them with M&M's and waiting for the chocolate to melt before eating. SO GOOD! But yeah...it'll take me about 50km of running to burn that off.

GG was soooo good last night! I love love love it!

Wow, thanks for that info! Her work looks great. Where was the loft you rented/how did you rent it? Are any of you Toronto ladies interested in using Lisa Mark instead of Tait? We should add a poll...

Your hair looks great Leia! Maybe I should consider this. Did you style your hair in the pic or does it kinda just dry that way? My hair is naturally wavy but they are horrific frizzy crazy waves, not nice at all. Maybe if I got something like this it would calm it down...?

I'm so sorry you have to go through this You totally don't deserve it, and it's NOT ACCEPTABLE behaviour! I would kick Matie's ass if he did this, and then I'd run far, far away. It's not the type of behaviour that a marriage should be based on. Be strong! If you stand up for yourself, you WILL find someone that deserves you, I promise!

Definitely do it! It's SO worth it. While you're in Europe you should see as many countries as possible and the train is the best way!

Hey Jen! Check this thread for a Toronto BD discussion - not sure if you can join in since your wedding might be a little soon, but there is a link to the photographer's site on there Toronto-Area Girls: BD Marathon? That photographer isn't based out of TO but we haven't really been able to find any good ones that we like yet, so we're trying to get them to come here for a marathon session. I'll PM you if I come across any other good ones... H

Tara those pics are awesome! I love the ones of you on the bridge with the bike riders, and the one on the floor with your photographer's yellow Chucks in the shot - so "hip." Love them!

What's Club 96? Is it part of the Palmilla?

Yay congrats! We just got our new car last week...it's so much fun! I love new cars.

She definitely got her nose and boobs done, she had an article in US Weekly about it (she's openly talking about those ones). She hasn't admitted to lip injections but I think it's pretty obvious! And her hair is all fake too. It's so different from season 1.
