Re: SA Wednesday
Stephiehall -- oh, I should've mentioned that I definitely wasn't the only one on this board using B-12. I just figured I'd throw it in there as an option specific to the TOTM issue. My DH swears he read somewhere that it can reduce pain from cramps (I didn't see anything like that when I looked, so I'm wary about that claim).
BSN - I know! I was so sad when I saw that ... they were like the only salon I saw with a reasonable price, then of course they had to increase it before my actual wedding. I had already booked them for my RD hair/makeup, and I was crossing my fingers they wouldn't charge me the wedding rate. (I'd already told them it was for my wedding rehearsal). Luckily, they did not.
Oh no, I was just letting YOU know in case you hadn't seen us talking about it. Fatigue seems to be a big problem for many of us. It will be interesting to see how we all do!
I got a pretty bad headache very suddenly earlier. Don't know what that was all about.

Just do it!
What kind of toy would a 16 month old like to have? I'm going to visit my nephew this weekend and I'd like to take him something. I don't get to see them very often so I don't really know what he likes to play with.
Sara - I've had a dream like that before. My teeth were really loose. I could wiggle tham with my tongue and then they fell out. The first thing I did when I woke up that morning was make sure none of my teeth werre loose.
It was such a creepy feeling.
This is always my go-to for that age--I remember Mel loved hers.

Thanks Stephie! I've been looking at the Toys R Us website, but there is so much to choose from. It's a little overwhelming.
Sometimes it's good to ask the parents if you can. Otherwise they are walking at that age so anything they can push or ride is good. Balls are always great too.

Unless of course you're my uncle...He gave me a Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumpers Barber Shop. My mom hated that toy. She used to joke that she was going to give the cousins a drum set in retaliation. :-) I always ask what they like, what they're interested in and what they would prefer that I not give them.
I was also looking at a riding toy train that has alphabet blocks and makes sounds. He is walking, and I know he some kind of push lawnmower toy but it's not a riding toy.
I had something sort of like this! I LOVED it!!!!
When I was little my uncle gave me one of those push toys with balls inside that make a loud popping noise when you push it. I'm not sure if they make them anymore. My mom hated that toy. It must be an uncle thing.
Vendors seem to cycle in and out. Not that I pay much attention to threads these days on TK or keep up with everyone's vendors, but I hardly hear (even a year ago) about the vendors that were being used when I first came on.
I was going to suggest a push toy--but the one I saw on Toys R Us got bad reviews so I didn't suggest it.

This is the riding toy I'm looking at.

That is what I did for my wedding last year (in May) and my make up was fine several hours later. She used extra primer & different products to help the make up stay.
Have you looked at Ikea? Or HomeGoods?
Oh, gotcha. Yes, I saw some of the conversations about fatigue/B12. In fact, it was the first thing I thought of when DH suddenly started talking about it randomly last week. I was like ... wait, are you reading TN or something? Haha.
I've been taking B12 for the last 3 weeks on the advice of my doctor, for fatigue. While I haven't noticed a huge difference in the way I feel during the day, I have noticed that I'm sleeping a lot harder, and waking up feeling more refreshed... so I'll take it!
Kirklands too! .. and surprisingly... Lowes has some very affordable ones sometimes (around $80-90) that come with lamps.
I think I might jump on the B12 bandwagon especially with how I have been feeling lately.
Sarah- how is the new job going?
I could only play with it outside. So I never really played with it.
Thankfully, I had the popper thing too. I'm pretty sure Santa gave it to me and I loved that toy!!!!
I did check Homegoods last Friday in Flower Mound. They were pretty picked over, but I might try again this week. That place is so hit or miss.
Tiffany- I never thought of Lowes. I will check that out.
You also might try a different HomeGoods. For example, I can go to my normal location in Allen and then go down to Richardson and it's like walking into a completely different store. Double the shopping.
I saw Nate Berkus make a really cool console table out of repurposed material on his show last week, but I can't remember what it was. I'm going to see if I can find it, I really liked it.
ETA: It was a shutter. It could be fairly inexpensive, I would think.
