$3.79 for regular in Northbrook (Chicago suburbs). I couldn't believe it when it cost over $50 to fill up my tank! Come to think of it-I need to fill up again! Ugh! How depressing!

Definently trying to keep the cost down! Prob around $2000. He quoted me $1500 for 4 hours.

Maybe next time. FI's Grandmother passed away. The funeral is Tues the 6th in DC and I think we are leaving on Sunday. Sounds like it will be fun though...I LOVE mimosas!

I heard about this on the radio this morning! My FI and I were laughing so hard! The dj on the radio also looked at the brides myspace page where appearently her screen name is Mrs. Tits! Classy, huh!

Thanks for the website Dino! Very helpful!

Thanks Ann. I did read that thread-I was just wondering if anyone else knew anything about him. His emails have been very promp and he seems so nice. I like his work from what I can see on the website and his prices seem reasonable.

Has anyone heard of or used Mariano Lemus for their wedding photographer?

What a good excuse to ruin the "bride diet"! You can't turn down free ice cream! I can't wait!

I figured Lauren probably just bought the dress. Hope she can still wear the shortened version at least. I don't know why I'm so concerned with her dress!

I need to run 4.5 miles today but its sooo windy outside! Guess I'll have to deal or use the treadmill.

I agree that this episode seemed more staged than in the past-especially the Colorado scenes. I hope the whole season isn't like this or I will lose interest!

The family never affirmatively knows - they don't have a body, there is no evidence to see, so there's no real connection to everything going on with them. Susie brings it up here and there, but not really in any significant way. I just struggle to see the point of having it there at all, except for shock factor. And if that was the purpose, I find it rather repugnant. I read that the author, Alice Sebold, was raped when she was in college. This could give us some insight as to why she added it to the story, but I agree that it wasn't necessary.

Ok-so I just got done watching the show. I'm so happy that I can enjoy my guilty pleasure again! I loved the Paris scenes, I want to go! I think Heidi needs to wear some more makeup during the next episode! As if her fake lips and nose job weren't enough! Sorry, maybe that was a little harsh! Oh and what about that Alberta Ferretti dress that Lauren burned? Did she buy it?

FI says he can't stand the show either! But I think he secretly watches it out of the corner of his eye instead "working" on his lap top!

Overall I really enjoyed the book. I enjoyed Susie's view point from Heaven. Its nice to imagine that someone could be so connected with their family on Earth after death. My favorite part was definently when Mr. Harvey finally got what he deserved. I also liked the part when Susie came back through Ruth and got to be with Ray again. I didn't like that Susie's mother had an affair with Len and that she left her family for all those years I glad for the happy ending when her family accepted her back into their lives. Also I loved Grandma Lynn-she seems like she'd be a fun grandma!

Almost ashamed to admit it but I've missed the Hill's girls! Oh the drama is soo good!

Can't wait to start the discussion!

I am doing it in May but I haven't trained very long. I'm running 6 miles on my long runs right now but the distance goes up every week or two weeks. I'm running about 12-18 miles a week right now. You should try it again-if you could run 10.5 miles then you could go 13! Those personal trainers will kick your ass too though!

I have been training for a half-marathon. The thought that I might DIE if I try to run 13 miles without training is pretty good motivation!

Duh! Who puts an engagement ring in a balloon? Poor guy.

Congratulations!!!!!!!I love to hear stories like these! Try not to worry too much and enjoy your surprise!

I told FI that he could plan the honeymoon since I'm pretty much planning the wedding! Although I've been dropping hints about Hawaii!

Welcome! You're wedding is going to be so beautiful! I fell in love with Mackinac Island when I was little and it was in the running for my wedding.

We had been dating almost 4 years when he proposed but he said he'd been planning it for over a year! When we're married we'll have dated almost 5 years.
