Re: Say Anything part 27
1 BM dress = $99
1 pair Spanx to make dress look somewhat ok on = $40
1 new strapless bra to put the boobs back where they belong = $50
1 new pair of shoes to match said dress and make my legs look thinner = $60
Alterations to actually put dress where it belongs = $60
Tanning/Spray tan to look better in a gold dress = $50
Probably still not liking the way I look in the dress = $359
aw! *hugs* I'm sure you will look fabulous! Don't beat yourself up so much!
Position and ability to move has a major impact on the success rates for natural, unmedicated birth. I get that that's not your interest but there's no reason to be upset that it's someone else's. Good for her for taking an active interest in her health care to achieve the birth she wants. Changing doctors and hospitals does not "risk" her or her baby's health in any way.
LOL, not "upset" just annoyed. I probably get way too annoyed with many women's decisions regarding childbirth. To me, it is a medical procedure and should be treated a such. This is coming from someone who's child's life was saved by Texas Women's professionals....not MY doctor. (by neonatal team) I DO get that some women don't think the same way as me...but I can still get annoyed by the way they think ;-)
Don't beat yourself up. I bet you are going to look fantastic!
Crazy Christmas Kids!
Ditto. You're a very beautiful woman.
Just curious, what color shoes did you end up getting?
Thanks...I really need to just buy all of the stuff listed above and get it altered. That will help a TON!
HP - I haven't. We're doing gold/metallic but I haven't been shopping. Last night I realized the dress is much more gold than champagne also. I need to physically shop because I don't know my shoe size (it varies a lot) and I am not sure on the heel height.
I agree BUT her post was very melodramatic. I mean, I didn't have to lay down. Where did she get that information? Rumors and heresay? I just take exception to the "having a total meltdown because of these rumors." I mean, try talking with your doctor. Or ask nicely for other options. I get really annoyed by the hysteria which is fed by misinformation. Others will see that post and freak out and it just perpetuates.
eh some people are melodramatic but yes you are right, there is a lot of misinformation on all sides and it does not help.
sweets, you are going to be gorgeous! Don't be so hard on yourself!
I can't wait to see!
DH & I signed up in January as volunteers for the youth group mission trip this summer. We were so excited about it. And the kids were excited b/c they were going to have "cool young chaperones" for a change.
My cousin got engaged about 3 weeks ago & set her wedding date. It conflicts with the mission trip.
I just had to e-mail the youth group director & back out. I'm trying very hard not to cry at my desk over this one.
If you find anything that would go with a gray bm dress let me know.......... I HATE shoe shopping.
Crazy Christmas Kids!
I plan on making trips to DSW during lunch, since it is so close. I'll keep an eye out.
my cousin just booked our house for Concan... i am so extremely excited!!! we didn't think it would be a reality this year, but enough people are going that each family only has to foot the bill for one night. we'll have a pool in the backyard and a golf cart : )

i can't wait to get my big pasty white butt on that freezing cold river again. i'm so excited to spend time with my family (yes, we'll annoy each other, but isn't that what life's all about?).
WOO HOOO!!!!

Mia has decided that she wants Mark to hang out or help with her and Micah so all the "no tonsil" people can be together.
I'm not sure if I should feel excited or discriminated against.
bahahahahaha! That's awesome. Kids are so funny!
Shut.Your.Face. There is nothing wrong with Choo Choo Soul.
I hate it with a red hot passion. The only thing awesome about it is DC because he's hot.
I have a cd/dvd if you want to borrow it : P
To be there are much worse things. We used to have to listen to that cd every time we got in the car.
Crazy Christmas Kids!
i think we've all done this...lol. glad yours was a positive outcome and not a "but i thought we had another 1000 dollars in there?!?!?!" outcome. have a wonderful anniversary dinner!!!!
ok. i don't really understand what is so be-all, end-all about Uverse. we have comcast. my mom has uverse, so i have used/watched it before and stuff. the way people foam at the mouth for uverse you'd think it does the laundry for you while you watch tv.
my photography blog
U-verse totally does my laundry.
Really though I love it for several reasons. One, we had crappy DirecTV. They said they couldn't hook it up to where we could DVR one show while watching another show. We could only DVR what was on the channel we were watching. Defeats the purpose, IMO. Also, we lost cable every time the wind blew.
I also love that UVerse has so many kids shows on demand. Mommy needs to cook dinner without helpers - wow, look, Yo Gabba Gabba is on.
Well, first off Comcast used to go out on us all the time. I'd spend up to 2 hours on hold before they'd finally talk to me & schedule someone to come out. And then I'd have to wait 3 weeks for them to get there. I've had a problem with AT&T once and they had someone out the next day.
And, since U-verse allows us to watch the DVR'd programs from any room in the house, DH will fold the laundry in the bedroom & watch his recorded programs while I watch what I want & work on stuff in the living room. So it essentially does do the laundry for me.
Amen.
I just realized my new bathroom needs 40 new knobs/handles. I'm scared to count the kitchen & other bathrooms.
I may need to start whoring myself out.
