Share something interesting about yoursel to help your fellow Nesties GTKY. -I have a twin sister (fraternal) who I look nothing alike! I swear you can't even tell we are sisters. Dh and I are currently still in our apartment - and DYING to buy a house - but we paid for our own wedding, which was quite the financial adventure I was not expecting!!!! Hopefully we can start the hunt soon!
I am in SUCH withdrawl with the Red Sox season ending so abruptly! I hate it...
BTW - I just had a thought as I wrote withdrawl about your other post about being boared and let down now that the wedding is over. I forgot to mention - I think it took me a solid month and a half to feel like I was back to "normal" after the wedding. I couldn't get myself on a regular schedule, could not keep myself motivated - I just felt all out of sorts! but I think as the days go on - you'll start to feel more and more like your "normal" self again!
