One is DHs sister, so again, we will always be in touch with her. Of the other two, one is my BFF from HS and she and I are still in touch - we dont talk all the time but do occasionally and we try to get together whenever she is back north (lives in NC). The 5th BM I knew at t he time I should not have picked but I had JUST been in her wedding when we got engaged so i didnt feel like I really had a choice - it was either ask her or end the friendship then and there ya know? Well the friendship fizzled and I havent really talked to her in close to a yr... so I should have (hindsight and all) just not had her at all and saved myself the headaches... oh well!

I'm eating a Lean Cuisine Chicken Caesar Bowl right now and have to work until 8:00.
