yamille

Kathy you look great!! The working out paid off. You have so much more definition in your tummy. Good for you! I am definately moticated for BL4 cause this time around I did not do my best. I played around with 5lbs somehow but in the end after weighing myself today I am at the same weight that I started. I started working with a trainer and am more focused. See you at BL4 ladies! Congrats to everyone for their efforts!

Ana they are gorgeous. I love your ering and band together. They look lovely.

How exciting Yari! It's so close!

Kim I am so sorry for your loss. everybody needs a shoulder.... I hope we can continue being some support for you.

My name is Yamille. It's pronounced like Camille, but with a Y. ya-meel. When I introduce myself to people they always say "email?", but I think it's cause I talk fast sometimes.

This is a tough yet very common issue between couples. First off- good for you for reaching out. I can only imagine that you have been beating yourself up over not feeling attractive as you said. I may be restating what others have offerred but here are some questions and thoughts that jump out at me. -definately communicate how you are feeling to him because he may be in the dark about how much it is bothering you. Let him know that sex is important to you in a relationship. - are you willing to seek counseling together? does he feel that his internet porn stuff is taking up too much time and replacing your intimate time? - how are you feeling about yourself? I only ask because it's so easy for women to blame themselves. Focus on you and doing what you need to feel good. -did you fall into a "routine"? Maybe exploring other options such as toys,viewing porn together might break it- if you are comfortable with that. - I think the main thing is to speak to him really. In the meantime

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I think I just lurk aroung these threads and don't actually get much done. But here's my list.... Done: (!) All of this decision making took me sooo long.... -Date and resort booked/deposit down- paradisus riviera -Send out STD magnets -We have a wedsite -I bought/ordered my dress -Deposit down for our photographer Matt Adcock -Deposit down for our trip with TA Next project is DIY invites. I'm scared to DIM but I have to attempt and save $$ on something I guess. ** oh and I have tons of ideas thanks to all you ladies on this forum- I just am overwhelmed**

I want it to be may 2009 now! I'm impatient.

Fanny- I thought the reception lighting was too bright when I was there. I spied on a small reception with around 15 ppl. That was just my opinion. I love candle light but it maynot be the best with the breeze. I remember there being a pretty strong breeze at night when I was there for my site visit. It's a lovely warm breeze but enough for me to question teh candle situation. Elisa did mention that the hurricane candle holders are best cause they blow out the least. In my last email to Perla I asked about this but am still awaiting her response. I asked her to send me pics of options for candleholders if she could. I will post if she sends them. She mentioned tiki torches and candle bags. Missy what are you using as far as lighting? You ladies are hardcore. I hadn't even thought about the chair situation. I kind of don't want to pay for different chairs. Is there a huge comfort difference? I thought there was a thread in the past saying that the regular chairs are pretty comfy. ?

so adoreable. what a great find!

Way to turn the energy around. Good for you. I probably would have eaten one of the batches of cookies along the way...

Kristy it's so pretty. Congrats on finding the dress. You will be a beautiful bride. We are date twins!

You looked gorgeous and it looks like everyone was having fun. Congrats!

Welcome! Isla Mujeres is awesome... Happy planning.

Joanna, I think you should go with your gut instinct no matter what. If you are feeling a little burnt out on school then maybe you should take a couple years and work until you really want grad school. I am in my 2nd year grad right now after being our of school for almost ten years. I am thinking of continuing onto a phd but this would not have happened straight out of undergrad. I needed time to have life experience and my first career which led me to where I am now. You and your future hubby need to decided what will work best in your marriage but maybe you could pursue your career and live in the work force for a bit before heading back for the grad degree? I don't regret anything. I feel totally fine about having gone back to grad school at 30. I am really enjoying it even though it took a minute to get back into my "school head". good luck!

Not that I know of. I saw the picnic episode too. He is adoreable but the whole date my ex thing on tv is so weird. It's crazy what people will do for fame. Anyway, if anyone saw the next episode or can tell me when it's on I would love it. Why did they break up in the first place? Anyone know?

Yes of course when you travel to third world countries tipping $5 makes you feel great because people really value it. My friend was in Thailand and had an awesome hour massage every day for $15 and tipped the girl $100 after his whole week there. She was happy.... to say the least. When I worked at a well known club in ny we had a lot of "famous" clients and the staff created a tipping shit list. It was funny.. You would be surprised at the good and bad. I won't go into it but here is a random sampling Jim Carey is an awesome tipper. Always. Liza Minelli is fabulous Kim Catrall made the entire female staff wish they had never watched 10000 episodes of sex and the city. Danny Glover all time worst.

This thread made me giggle. I only read some of it but you ladies are funny. Of course now I wanna be *licious* too but my name stinks for stuff like that. yamilicious yamille-icious .. doesn't quite work. Oh well happy friday

Yay it's finally here! Happy Wedding day!

2 months! You look so pretty in your dress- I agree to the veil and flower combo.

Great thread! This morning I helped one of the elderly ladies in my building in with her groceries- but I always do that if I see someone struggling. - I think an actual good deed yesterday was that I helped a man who's metrocard was empty. I have a monthly unlimited and he was foreign and kept swiping it- I was one my way out and swiped him in. He was confused but grateful.

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry he is in pain. I hope he passes the stones and doesn't need to go through anything else. Glad that they knew what it was right away and were able to help him somewhat. * as a sidenote- I saw this post after I sent you your gift....

Slade is totally still in love with her! The last episode I saw was when he stood in between the last 2 guys left for her to choose. (awkward!!) Then they show her all teary in a coming episode and him asking her if she still had feelings for him... To be continued..... I didn't even know she was singer. She wears too much bronzer on that show though. I don't mean to hate cause she's a pretty girl but she needs to chill with that makeup.

Hi All, My sister is still needing to pass one more certification test and just returned from the Peace Corps where she was teaching for the past few years. She is looking to find a teaching assistant job until she passes the test needed for NY or decide on grad school. Any ideas on how to approach this? Are there teaching recruiters out there? How did you get your job? She has responded to several posts on craigs list but I always feel that those are kind of a longshot. I could be wrong. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance...

Does anyone watch this? I got caught in a moment of weakness and watched a marathon of this trash - and LOVE IT. I want to know who she end up with - Slade Also, how did JO end up with her own show?? I know she was on "Real housewives of Orange County" but just discovered this little gem.
