I just am starting to accept the fact that I am lousy and for some reason I feel stuck. I need something strong to help me...for real... You really need to push yourself to go the gym. I'm not one to talk, I haven't been there in about 2 weeks, but when I do go, I notice a big difference in my energy and mood for the rest of the day. I usually walk slow when I go to class (people always walk past me) but if I have been to the gym recently I pick up the pace and feel fine about it... They say working out releases something in your brain that makes you feel good... so do whatever you can to just go there! ---I know its easier said than done!

Type it in a text box make it the color you want etc... and them right click it and "send to back" or something a long those lines.

I think I have 3. 2-3 different starfish and palm trees.

I remember when he made the original group from Making the Band walk all the way to the original Brooklyn Junior's for cheesecake... that was crazy.

We don't pay for any of those things here, so I don't even have an idea of what things cost. Sorry, I wish I could help you out, actually in this situation I am glad I don't know the answers I'm only 21, so I dont really know much about this type of stuff... but I just assumed maternity related expenses were a part of regular insurance. I guess I will need to take this into account when I start looking for a job!

My guests will be paying about 2200 per couple for 7 nights in a basic room. If they was the "preferred" room it will be $500 more. This includes airfare and accommodations. I am going to try to take care of the transfers.

I was still on my dad's insurance when I got pregnant. He works for a local bank (or a country club owned by the bank and his paycheck comes from the bank). I only paid $20 for the first prenatal visit and like $100ish for a sonogram. My stay at the hospital was covered 100% including the epidural. My son was covered for the first 30 days. The insurance was blue cross/ care first. I've heard Bank of America has really good health insurance and they have day care benefits and paid maternity leave... I might need a career change when I am looking to try for baby #2.

That is sooo exciting! I just got my dress this morning. I would say to hold off on ordering it (given that it is not being discontinued) and keep on going to other shops to look at dresses. If you just can't stop thinking about the dress, so for it!

I am all done with my BA. I really need to go back and retake classes to get my GPA up. Right now its 2.36 and I still have 1 grade I am waiting to be posted. I want to do a masters in counceling or something so I need to get it up some to apply and get 1000 hours of relevent experience (which I have none of) done so I can even apply. So I have time... I am taking this semester off. Maybe I will try retaking a class after the wedding...

And everyone worries that they will fail, its just natural, just remind yourself that you know what you are doing and that it WILL all work out! Yesterday was my last day... I don't think I ever felt so happy and thrilled to walk to my car as I was leaving campus...

I have a $500 gift certificate to Macy's Bridal Salon by Demetrios. It is only valid at the following stores: New Jersey Macy's Menlo Park - Edison, NJ Macy's Willowbrook Mall - Wayne, NJ Macy's Cherry Hill Mall - Cherry Hill, NJ Virginia Macy's Tyson's Galleria Mall - McLean, VA New York Macy's Herald Square - New York, NY Macy's Manhasset - Manhasset, NY Macy's Smith Haven Mall - Lake Grove, NY I can send more information to anyone who is interested. It expires April 30, 2009. If anyone in the NoVA/DC/MD area is interested, I am more than willing to meet up with you and even go with you to Macy's when you are ready to purchase your dress. I would love to get at least $350 for the certificate, but I am open to all offers!

Minor update on the class... My prof just really doesnt care. I didnt turn in half of the weekly assignments, I finished the 2 projects I was stressing about when I made this thread and I know there were things wrong with it (eg. a minimum probability was greater than the maximum) and I got 100% of each of them. I got a 97% on the final, which seemed like a breeze after I finished the projects... and I got an A. Great for me but its like profs dont even care any more... which at this point, I dont care either, but if I were like a freshman taking this class or something, it wouldnt put the right impression on me that I could put forth a minimum effort, wait until the last minute and not turn in numerous assignments and still get an A in a class... thats not what college should be like.

I know this is really late... but I saw a couple people post that they are going up there. I am going to try to be there by 5am and am taking a mirror so if you guys see me and need to use it feel free to! My pic and my sisters pic are in my siggy. We graduated together. Good luck everyone!

A guy from my area is on the show... theres a party going on for the premiere!

I had mcdonalds for dinner and then my dad called me to go out bc he was bored and he bought a whole pizza(yummy!) and got me a smoothie... I only had one slice.

I made a siggy!!! I started off good... and then started pushing it!

Does anybody know if you are reimbursed or given the difference you would pay for photography if you bring your own? I would hate to pay for a service I am not going to receive. How does this work? You wouldn't get a credit but they might exchange it for something else... maybe a videographer or more flowers or something, but they aren't going to reimburse anything.

We had FIOS in our old house, our new house is wired with internet that is also supposed to be fiber optic. We went from dial up to FIOS so we loved it. My dad never thought broadband was worth it til he used FIOS. He would get so mad when it was down and he had to use dial up! lol

I love endless!!! They used to have $5 off of any purchase in addition to the free overnight shipping, but they stopped that. I would buy all my sons shoes there.

I know my FI wants his grandmother to be there and if she is well enough I figure why not. I was not planning to invite my grandparents since I don't think they can travel that distance. I find with family, you either invite everyone (aunts uncles, cousins) or you kind of have to invite noone. I can't invite one aunt over another...so if I really want a small wedding, it is noone! But I do see a situation if I want to invite one or two friends. How do I do that over family? These things are so complicated! I hope everything works out...I think if it is your FI's grandmother then he should be the one to discuss the matter with her. Just my personal opinion. There is one aunt I am not inviting and she is like my mom's best friend. My mom knows better than to even ask if her sister is invited bc she knows how I feel. I don't know why I just called her an aunt, I don't consider her a part of my family. On another note, she has another sister that I never talk to, but am inviting as a formality. I hope she doesnt come and I doubt she would, but it makes my mom happy to send her the invite.

I lost 0.8 pounds... pretty good considering I pigged out a couple days and haven't been to the gym. i need to get hard core tho. Running of the brides better burn me some calories!

Here are some opinions... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t22148

This post has some sample costs listed... Prices can change drastically according to the time of the year... but it can still give you an idea of where the resorts fit in budget-wise. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2422 Another option is to go check out Riviera Maya Hotels, Resorts, Rentals: Mexican Caribbean Vacation They have a price table listed for all/most of the resorts on their site at the bottom of each page. It would also just be a comparison guide. I know I have found my resort for less than what they have posted. You could probably find an all-inclusive resort for as low as $70 per person/night to as much as a couple hundred per person/night. It just depends what you like and want.

I don't have any stories to share... but this thread just cracked me up!
