Office for sure - you'll never realize how much you use Microsoft stuff until you don't have it anymore!

I've learned to get more than one quote for EVERYTHING! Travel, flowers, cake...everything.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll have to try a regular converter next time (as if I go to Europe all the time or something)

Damn, CHI's are less than $200? I think that's what I paid...crap. Just a warning also - my CHI did NOT work in Europe, even with the proper outlet tool thing. My friend brought hers, I think it might have been a GHD (she's from Australia and got it there) and hers worked fine. So if you do a lot of travelling you might want to look into the GHD one instead. My CHI worked fine in Cabo though.

You definitely need Ceramic, and I use CHI. Ceramic straighteners are the best thing that have ever happened to me! The one posted above is ceramic plated which is still good, but if you need serious straightening, you probably want one that is pure ceramic the whole way through (usually a bit pricier, but worth it!)

LOL I NEVER want to relive our fights so I can't even imagine having a redo to get it on tape. Then again, I'm not a reality "star." I think it's more like "how can we get more time on the show? Oh I know. Let's pretend like we hate each other. Then I'll kick you out and I'll go to Vegas and you can chase me there and try to get me back. It'll be awesome!" I mean the whole time they apparently hated each other and didn't live together, they were doing photoshoots in Taco Bell and filming horrific music videos on the beach. Sick.

I can't help it, I still love Lo. I think they're just editing it weird and there could be a lot of stuff that we don't see. She was the funniest on Laguna Beach and even last season she was hilarious too...I hope the rest of this season will show her in a better light The only other comment I want to add is that I think every single thing about Heidi and Spencer is fake, and that they completely invent their own storylines in order to "be interesting" and stay on the show. I read online yesterday that Lauren wants this to be the last season probably, but that Speidi want it to go like 10 more seasons...they're so pathetic! We all know they don't fight that often...they're always seen in photographs around town all kissy kissy and talking about getting married on tv. They're such losers. I think if we saw their "real life" we'd be bored to tears so they make everything up. Sorry but I just can't stand them!

Those pics are great! I love the one where he's licking his lips - so cute!

Wow, that dress is GORGEOUS! I agree that you should go and try it on before you start to consider ordering it on the internet or getting something similar made...sometimes you can love the way things look, but then they don't look that great on you. Also, if you DO love it, they may let you buy the sample off the rack for half price or even cheaper. Some places do that. Good luck! It's a beautiful dress!

Ha! Looks like you guys had lots of fun! I love the wind-up on that first slap

That link didn't work for me But this sounds really cool! Is it crazy expensive?

Wow, your photographer did such a great job! Those are awesome pics. I love the one of the little guy passed out in his chair after eating dinner...too cute!

I would love to be a part of this, as long as I can use the nike system with different shoes (i.e. my adidas ones)? Does anyone know? I'm going to try to pick up the system this week. I've heard it's super motivating!

So good Maura! I love your hair and make-up. And I love how you grab your hubby's face when you're kissing him...so cute!

So unique! I love how everything ties together.

I was finally able to take a good pic of my ring! Even still, pics don't really do it justice as I'm sure you all know Here it is!

Oooh I love them! Way to go!

Congrats Maura! I love your pics so far! Can't wait to see the rest!

Thanks! What are their prices generally like?

This was posted on the Fox News website 2 days ago: Mark Consuelos to Marry Howard Stern Wednesday, August 13, 2008 By Roger Friedman Yes — Mark Consuelos, the actor and husband of Kelly Ripa, is getting ready to marry Howard Stern. That is, to Beth Ostrosky. The wedding is set for October, although sources are buzzing that Howard and Beth may have some kind of civil pre-wedding this weekend in the Hamptons. There’s been talk that this might happen, but stunning blonde Beth confirmed it for me at Saturday's Mercedes-Benz Blue Star Jet Polo bash. This was the Polo party of all time, since there was no Polo match — it was cancelled — and no one noticed. More people than ever came just to have the weekly party. Katie Lee Joel was the guest of honor. Dina Lohan brought her two younger kids. A few horses grazed in the field. The funny thing about Consuelos is that he’s a good actor who’s kind of gotten overshadowed by Kelly’s success with Regis Philbin. Mark had a long career on "All My Children," has appeared on other shows and is starting to film a new character on "Ugly Betty." Good for him. Beth told me on Saturday that Mark is an ordained minister. He may have become ordained just for this reason. Who knows? Will Regis be in attendance? Beth said, "It’s not that kind of thing. It’s spiritual." So the answer is, having Mark perform the ceremony is not to get publicity. They’re going to get it anyway. For the record keepers, Howard’s last wedding was 30 years ago, in 1978.

I say wait - there's a pretty good chance you will change your mind. I've only been looking at dresses for 2 months and I've already changed my mind a bunch. Plus have you tried it on? I was in LOVE with one dress, and I tried it on and it looked like complete crap on me! I think it's better to try a bunch to find out what looks best on you before you order something...that's just my opinion though

OMG I LOVE Zoe! SO cute! If I were to get another dog I'd totally get a frenchie. But there's no way we can get another one....one dog is more than enough! How is she to train? Is she a pretty good pet?

I've been speaking with Lola as well, and I'm going to book her. Her prices are great, and I had her put together a mock centrepiece for me and take a pic of it, and I like what she did a lot. She's SO good at responding too! So far I've had a great experience with her.

Cool site! Thanks!
