very beautiful dress

I'll do a group photo for sure.... maybe send it in our thank you cards

Snow - HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! from Ontario Canada we get wacked! yoga?

Shells I have done a ton of online shopping and end of season local. FI and I go away every year, however I would only take one dress and go more casual for most of the trip. We like our trips to be down time and adventurous. Two years ago we did 3 weeks and toured Costa Rica, we rented a jeep and went places that totaly blew me away. One place we went was Malpias and this place was total paradise. We had such hard time getting the jeep there and times I thought the truck would roll the roads were so bad. It took us 2 hours to go 11 km and it was to scary. So worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen such beauty in my life. We stayed at the Monana Lodge (Not sure is I spelt that right) It was the most amazing place the room were decorated in jungle themes and only seven rooms in the complex. They were little cabins on the side of a mountian and you were over looking the ocean. Breath taking!!!! sitting sipping wine and watching spider monkeys watching us... just too kool... If you ever want to take a less rountine vacation I suggest Costa Rica. We stayed at 6 different hotels.. All very nice... So my wardrobe is mostly shorts and tank tops... Damn I went of topic didn't I, 7 hours sleep and I'll chat your bloody ears off. So I needed to buy some new clothes for this trip...

Holy Smokes!!! I slept 7 hours and there is like 4 or five pages of chitter chatter. I feel great 7 hours sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Msmoulton: first song is Il Divo "just to be the man you love", FI got the job of picking songs and he picked this song. Made me cry when he played it for me. Vdaybride, I love your dress it is stunning and you are in love with it. i can see it in your smile. Raykel< I started ebay shopping years ago when I was plus size, because there is very limited selection of plus size clothing in Canada. I found buying for the stores here if there was a really cute top or something, every chunky chic in town had the same top. ebay gave me the option to have something different. one post down lol

But, we still have it and have been remodeling it ever since. The last thing we had done was vinyl siding and it really makes it look nice considering the house was "MINT GREEN" when we bought it. The bathroom was pink, even the toilet and toilet seat!!! We built a 2 level deck on the back and we really miss sitting out there and watching nature since it backs up to one acre of woods. The one sad part we found out 6 months ago was we had an empty lot next to us which we were planning to buy when we moved back in 2010 but, it has been sold and the buyer is building a house on it. We were so bummed! Oh well, we should have bought it when we bought the house. Our dinner last night was great! We had really good chinese food! I hope you get some sleep this weekend. As far as missing Michigan, YES we miss it alot. It was hard to leave our family behind. Especially my 9 year old black lab. She was a sweetie, fortunately my mother took her and she has become part of their family. They love her to death and when I go back home to visit she'll walk over to me, wag her tail and then go sit by my mom! My mom said we can't have her back when we come home because she is theirs now. I guess we'll have to see. But, we have been working for the same company over here for over 12 years so when we moved out here they are paying for our housing/bills, transportation and 3-4 trips home a year! We are very fortunate. So the longest we've been away from our family is 4months. We just became an aunt and uncle last week so we won't get to see our new nephew for 5 weeks! So, we will be home Dec. 17-Jan 4. Okay, sorry for the long book! Better get going, I hear my FI in the kitchen attempting to make breakfast. LOL ~ Erica I drive past this piece of property about 30 minutes for my house and it is so lovely, It has a for sale sign and it looks pretty large and very well treed. I am so tempted to call and find out more details. I just need to focus on one thing at a time...... Congrats on becoming an Aunt again.... Nite chickie!!!!!!!

It is a little difficult finding stuff for a destination wedding because everything in the stores is all about winter right now I may have to resort to sewing something. Well....back to work! i am a big ebay girl!!!!! I got both of them off ebay for like next to nothing... I the stores are so full of xmas stuff and winter clothing... I can not even think about xmas. I have been very lucky with ebay!!!!

Your smile says it all!!!! Happy girl

wings - angel

facial scrub - hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they inflame my face square or round - manicure?

Well I live in Newmarket, I would be happy to post pictures in my area, if mom has a flyer ready to I can post them on the Yonge street line.

So are you guys having rehearsal dinners?? What are you wearing?? I am going to go browse the forum for answers... have a happy Saturday night!! I am not doing the rehearsal dinner, just a meet and great for people to get to know each other. Most everyone that will be there have met at some point,except for FI's uncle and wife from Montreal and his aunt from Paris France. We have some fun games planned to break the ice and be silly. I have two dresses I purchased recently and I'll wear one of them for that evening. I really like the black one I have it hemmed already and it feels great.. very causal... the butterfly one I may wear the day of the wedding, it's flowy and cheerful.. easy to slip out of.

He got the "are you serious stare." There is another one on youtube of a couples first dance and the hubby is a big bear type guy that has moves that makes your chin drop. I love watching those videos. So we're a little hyper tonite!!!!! I have done the hot tub, dinner and two glasses of wine and now on the melt down. Oh did I mention it isn't 6pm yet... So ready to sleep, waking up at 3am for 4 nights straight is killing me. China gal Erica I didn't get Chinese food, I got tiny potatoes and stuffed peppers.. Yummy dinner... I am keeping him. Hey Shells (my cousin is called after me, my second name is Michelle, her name is Michelle, i call her Shells). You ladies are my extended family your all getting nicknames... So tired and rambling on here, Oh Shells... way to go glad your fitting went well and your still in love. Vdaybride... I can see you!!! throw it out missy!!!

Take care of What?!?" and i was like sorry bad wedding dreams and went back to bed! lol hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..... I am very tired and that was bloody funny!!!!!

Very touching storey.. Congrats!!!

Stunning dress... give that chore a big whole check off your to do list

WOW.. that seems very pricey for alterations!!!!! and rude comments to boot... I'd be pissed too.

Erica you crack me up.... I am looking a real estate.... I love looking at what is for sale and what kind of decorating they have done. I am hoping to down size our home and move to a smaller house in the next few years. I'd like to do it next year, FI thinks we should wait about 5 years and have a house built. We'll see nothing has really jumped out at me and I have been window shopping (online) for about two years. I think Chinese food would be great for dinner, hummmmmmm maybe while I am working I can get FI to cook. He'll just order food/ So Erica do you find it lonely being so far from home?

It's 4.30am here and I am awake and can not get back to sleep. I really hate this because it starts the spiral of me getting run down and sick. I sent the third request of to the WC asking her if she can please give answers to a few very simple questions. Tick off to no end here, how do we get to the resort and smile and pretend that this person wasn't a royal pain is the butt? I hope you ladies have a great weekend, I am working most all weekend, oh well it's $$$$$ right!

On a happier note!!! I was working at a daycare yesterday, one of my client's, I have been helping the centre with a gran re-opening. The centre was bought out by a new company and is under gone major renovations, I have helped with picking paint and re-configuring the space to be more productive. (it's a daycare learning centre for disabled children). I was approached yesterday by the owners to manage the daycare for them. They have asked me to come work for them Dec. 1. I am standing there in my cleaning clothes I had just clean two houses that morning and I looked like the bag lady and I was offered a job. I had got a call from the one owner in the morning asking if i could drop by he had some questions for me. I am thinking there is an issue with the invoice I sent them or the work. Prepared for the worst!!! So I am going in on Monday to discuss it further and find out more details like $$$$$. Isn't that just the koolest? Not sure if I want to give up my own business though!!! Have a great day chickies!!!!!!!

Ladies same here! I do the first email and the second request email and then the TA... finally I get a response... Why the hell does it have to be that difficult? I am getting fustrated and peeved. My questions are simple "how many people can you sit at a table in the restaurant, are they round our square? (tables that is lol) daaaaaaah can you not answer that for me? send me and email with just (6-8 S) if your that busy. damn!!!! it makes me cranky!!!

You and do it!!!! you can do it!!!!
