I won't be here with you girls tomorrow but I am really going to need prayers to get through next weekend. My ILs are coming. I already want to shoot myself.
Re: B&M Monday
This weekend was interesting. So much to B&M about....I find the most interesting people. I had a booth at a flea market this weekend and only sold 2 things. The next space over informed me that he used to be a police officer, but now works doing things that are illegal for police officers to do...CRAZY and not the good kind. It was in a creepy way.
@juliebug, sending good vibes your way, and hide your gun! LOL!
MLandCJ, I love going to flea markets! Have you gone to Antique Alley in Cleburne before? Its amazing!! Its 20 miles(or more) of garage sales, vendors and lots of food! It happens twice a year. September and March, I believe.
My only B&M is that I got a $180.00 cable bill in. Sheesh. For only tv with DVR, that is outrageous.
Julie - Best of luck!
I've never really had a train scare but Friday there was a creepy guy who was dishonorably discharged from the Army for Violence trying to get my attention. Lucky the conductor was there and I've made friends with him because he might have literally saved my life.
Not that it compares, but MY family made some really rude comments about my weight on Saturday. It was bad and DH is quite pissed at them. I guess it's the motivation I need to get back in the gym!

Julie - definitely will be thinking about you. You know I sympathize with IL drama. Worst comes to worst, fake the stomach flu and scare them away.
Deepthi - SCARY. I'm glad the conductor was watching your back. I'm a public transport wuss.
No real B&M here. I got to shoot my best friend's engagement portraits last night, and I just cried all the way home because I'm so happy she's happy. She's one of those people who just deserves great things, and I'm so thrilled to pieces that she finally has them.
Good luck this weekend Julie.
I talked to DH about going away for a short cheap trip to Hot Springs next month but now he is listing out alternative places we can go. One reason I suggested Hot Springs is because we enjoyed ourselves last time and I don't have to do much research. Now my time will be filled with researching where to go.
I am nowhere near finished with the book club book and it is going to be turned back in tomorrow.
Why is it that when I wake up on time, I run late or I wake up even earlier and I'm running even more behind? Today I woke up a little late and was way ahead of schedule.
Julie, good vibes to you so you can handle the IL's
Deepthi, scary on the train thing and that just makes me sick about the comments on the weight. Partents are supposed to be supportive and it just kills me when they say things to make their children feel insecure.
My B&M is just about all the emotions this whole thing with my mom has dug up. I spent so much time on Friday and through the weekend feeling 80 million different ways. I feel bipolar because I just cant get my mood to stabilize. Good news is her CTscan is today at 2 and we get the results real time so by end of day today we will know the next steps that need to be taken either way which is great because I dont do well with uncertainty, obviously.
Also, I looked back on my wedding pictures this weekend and I got a little sad. You guys know some of the drama me and my MOH went through and we were still a bit blah at the wedding time so we dont have a ton of pictures together. Really the only pics we have were the posed pics because the real moments just didnt happen so there were none to be captured. Now we are good to go and I so badly want those pictures.
We're still praying for your mom! Please keep us posted on the results of the scan.
AND... isn't your MOH getting married soon? Maybe there will be a better atmosphere at her wedding, and you can get the huggy giggly pictures together!
They are getting married in a helocopter in Vegas and no one is invited. She has never wanted a big wedding so its not surprising at all. I am honestly thinking about trying to book a photo session around her coming down here to visit next year or the year after. Its crazy because we are huge photo girls, we probably took 100 photos the month before I moved so it just makes me sad that there was this odd funkiness around the time of my wedding.
I felt like an Extreme Couponer at Lowe's this weekend, even though I didn't have any coupons and got more than an 80% discount due to an error.
Now, I feel guilty.
Oooh, heli in Vegas sounds fun!! I know it's a bummer that there were weird feelings on the day of the wedding... I dealt with that personally as well. Try to just focus on how nice it is to have everything back to normal now!
Yeah the vegas thing is 100% her and thats what really matters! Yeah its nice to have it all back to normal and my mom is like her second mom so its been nice to chat with her over the last couple days but sucky she is so far away.

Good luck Julie!
I couldn't sleep last night because of shooting pains in my lower back. I'm really hoping the icy hot and aleve will start to kick in because it hurts.
Bio Good Times
BL: It was more my cousins and my aunts then it was my mother this time. I just can't stop thinking about it.
Your mother is still in my prayers and I hope everything goes well with her scan today.
Maybe you and your MOH can do a TTD session after her wedding!
Jaymi - I still haven't finished the book yet either!
Brianna - Try getting your new doctor to call them and request it if they are willing to do that. It might work a little better.

I am going to do that as well, but they asked me to try. Apparently the old doctor's office is kinda known for this stuff! It was on the reviews online too. Ugh.
Bio
I wonder if your old Dr. is the same as my old Dr. I never did get my records from them, and finally just gave up.
I'm being nosy, but what kind of stuff do you sell at flea markets? Do you go to them often?
Julie - good vibes to you... I hope your week goes very smoothly!
Danielle - I'm intrigued by Antique Alley, and just found a website for it. Thanks
I don't have anything to B&M about today... two more weeks of craziness at my week, but really this week will probably be crazy, and next week should calm down. I can handle that! I finished the book club book this weekend, and loved it. I spent most of our two hour drive yesterday telling James about the book (he's not a reader) and he kept asking me what happened next. Then I read some more after we got home, and at bedtime he wanted to know what else had happened - it was pretty funny.
Are they in Bedford? It's an OBGYN.
Bio
Nope, in Grapevine....but it was an OBGYN.
BL and Deepthi - continued T&P that things improve for both of you.
Michelle & Michael
Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
Yay, positive pants! And yay that they're fitting better, too - that always helps
I have never really decorated for fall before, but I really want to... the problem is that during the week I've been working too late to pick up pretties, and we've been gone a lot on the weekends recently... and I feel like October 15th is too late to really decorate, but that's when I'll finally have time to do it.
Good Positive pants! Where are you guys going? I want to start decorating but only have a few things. I'll probably put them out in the next few days as well. Thanks for the T&Ps.. I have to lose 5-10 pounds before my left knee will support actual running, but the eliptical and me are best friends right now.

That's not too late.
Plus, fall lasts through November. So, you don't have to take it all down after Halloween.
Julie, I hope things go smoothly for you with the dreadful ILs.
BL, I will be thinking about you and your mom. And regarding the MOH, I like Deepthi's idea of a combined TTD session!! (If you wanted to TTD)
Leslie, is it already that time again?? My body hates me these last two months! I'm on CD 48 and still nothing.
Great, I am switching to an OBGYN in Grapevine. Who is it?!
Bio
This happens to me all the time!

In Denton County? We handle Denton County's appeals. They have really tough juries out there!
