I really miss eating like that also some days. But for the last two weeks it's good that I can't eat like that or I would have gained 10 pounds. I am fully back into emotional eating again because of all the stress. Good thing I can only eat a little bit. :crying: (And I am so disappointed in myself for falling into the whole emotional eating thing again!)

I'm just glad I don't have a scoop shop here or I would really be in trouble. That is the only good thing about having a layover at the Atlanta airport- they have a Ben & Jerrys!

I know, I got an email from them saying it was going to be in the stores...I have been trying to avoid the ice cream aisle like crazy. If I get a taste of that I will be sunk!:crying:

My therapist told me this morning that I just need to quit talking to him period. He told me to be prepared for everything to escalate, to be prepared to have to call the police and file a restraining order, and basically for things to get really bad. But he was very blunt about the fact that he is obviously not going to change and that I need to do this. He also said that I should not go to NC with my mom. Go figure.

Yes, because us nurses are so catty. I hate to think what the nurses I work with say knowing that I had the surgery! I am sure they talk about how much I have lost/haven't lost.

It's ok if you do drivebys dorky one, we just want to hear from you and know you are still around because we miss you when we don't hear from you! I am totally feeling your pain about the fill situation because as I have already told you, this is pretty much how it goes with my fill doctor. It is very frustrating sometimes. Are those Vivannos from Starbucks good? I have been wanting to try one but I was curious how many carbs are in them. I keep forgetting to look on their website to see. Someone said they taste kind of chalky.

Well, you definitely have better restriction than I do right now! Congratulations!! And thanks for the opinion on the dress! :confused:

Have fun with that Paula, let us know how it goes. :confused: Make sure you say some completely non-sensical things about whoever you are judging so it is authentic "Paula-ness".

It is BEYOND time for this to be over. I am so done with this situation.

I am waiting for a check to come so I can go pay my lawyer everything I owe him so this can be DONE. I seriously cannot take him anymore-the verbal abuse, the suicide threats, all of it. It is too much.

I love that dress too! :confused:

My soon to be ex has flown off the deep end with his bipolar again. I cannot take this anymore!!!! I need to be divorced!!!!!!!!

I don't understand why my sister invited her....she said she invites her every year and she never comes and won't come this year....I was like "Surprise! She is planning on coming this year apparently!"

Oh, and Mini, the princess dress.... It is on the Davids Bridal website, and it won't let me download a picture. It is in the bridesmaid separates. It is the tissue taffeta in marine blue, and it is the sleeveless ruched top and the full skirt with the pickups/bustle on the bottom. I look smokin hot in it!:confused:

It's not even that I want to let her make me have less fun on my trip, it's that I don't even want her to go at all. That is why I am apparently an awful daughter. I just wanted to spend some time with my sister alone before she leaves without all the BS my mom brings along. I absolutely hate traveling with her and said I would never do it again after the last time, and she even wants to fly there with me. :confused:

Yes, the whole dress thing has been confusing and hard to keep up with!! The black one is actually the bridesmaid dress, but I could wear it to the ball also!! And yes, I feel the same way about the grey color. It is kind of blah. Although, now my mom wants to go to NC and go to the ball with us, which kind of rains on my parade since I am not so happy with her as of late for how she was treating my sister about reenlisting. I really don't want to spend my vacation with her. Terrible of me I know, but what can I say?

So these are the gowns I found-the black one is the consignment shop one, and I will be taking the ugly rhinestone brooch off. I think once the brooch is off it will be simple and elegant. The grey one is the bargain one from Sears. I think the top is kind of wierd. I don't know. Opinions please!

My mom said someone in her neighborhood must have had the same problem, because one side of her neighbors fence facing the neighbors yard is painted like the top picture-only in alternating primary colors and she said the technique was less than stellar. If I decide to paint it, I can guarantee it will be ugly, that's for sure! I have the guy who put the fence up coming to give me an estimate on moving it today (although he does not know my lawyer wants to sue him to do it for free). I told him if I have to move it, I wanted an estimate for putting fence down the whole side of the property line on that side. 6 foot privacy fence until where it meets my house, then 4 foot for the rest of the yard. It will least make it a pain in the ass when they mow the yard because they will have to weed whack that entire length of fence then!

No vision problems here!!!! Just honesty!!:rolleyes2:

I probably will get the prettier dress, as much as I hate to pass up that good of a bargain!! Maybe I will take a pic of the dress I bought and post it and see what you gals think...but not tonight. I'm pooped from all this silly dress shopping!! I have to say when I put on the one I liked I felt like a princess!! So you are right, it is probably worth the $200. I have thought about asking about mediation. I just don't understand the court thing. What do they hope to gain by it? The end result is going to be the same regardless-I am going to end up having to move my fence, which means I will end up having to sue the guy that built it because he won't do it for free (and the lawyer says he should), and they will have something REALLY ugly painted on their side of the fence for the rest of eternity. Why do we need to go to court for that? And WHY can't these people get their heads out of their asses and JUST GET OVER IT-it's 4 inches for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a letter in the mail from the attorney today saying that they want to take the fence issue to trial?? WTF?? What is wrong with these people? All they have to do is provide a survey, which I am assuming they will have to do in court to prove their case, and I said I would move the fence if the survey says it is over the property line. Why make things more difficult than they need to be? I guess I just need to talk to the lawyer and ask him what the heck is going on. These people perplex me. There is something seriously wrong with them. :drool: It is kind of starting to scare me. And this is still my response to them (again, of course without the accompanying smile):rolleyes2: I can honestly say I have never hated anyone so much in my life as I do these people. Actually, I can honestly say I have never hated anyone EXCEPT these people!!!!

So, we embarked upon the dress shopping journey this morning. We got to Davids Bridal, and the girl there was so snotty to Shelli (the bride) that we wanted to snatch her up and leave. Just acted like we were putting her out, was rolling her eyes...just RUDE. We sucked it up and I discreetly complained to the manager about her later and they sent her home for the day. Shelli found her bridal gown in about 20 minutes and it is absolutely gorgeous. Our bridesmaid gowns were a different story. We were told there (and at every other shop) that we would have to buy off the rack because both events are so soon in the future. We were getting black bridesmaid dresses, so you think this would be easy, right? Not!! Jen, the Maid of Honor, is pregnant, so she picked this empire waist chiffon flowy thing that just looked HORRIBLE on me. And they literally had no other dresses on the rack in my size in black. So we spent the entire rest of the day looking for a stupid dress. Do you know where I finally found one? At a consignment shop!! It is black satin, strapless with a fitted bodice, with pickups in the skirt. The only thing about it is it has an ugly rhinestone brooch on the front, but I am removing it because it is only secured by about two stitches. It looks nothing like Jens gown, but I am going to tie it in with hers by getting beaded shoes and jewelry because she has black beading on hers. $70. Not bad. And there was a lady there who said she would do the alterations for $20. As far as my Marine Corp Ball gown goes....I found one I love at Davids Bridal and they can order it for me. I looked like a total hottie in it. But then I went to another store and found a similar dress (although not as cute) on clearance for a total of $25!!! But the color is a light grey, which does not look great on me. With my blonde hair it kind of washes me out. So now my dilemma is this...do I be the cheapskate I am and buy the $25 dress, or do I get the super pretty one that is almost $200? Decisions, decisions. Please let me know if pictures would help! :rolleyes2: And all my opinions on the dresses I asked about last night ended up being a moot point because the bridal shops told me that manufacturer takes 12 WEEKS to get dresses to them!! Yikes!!

Dee, you look so pretty!! I concur with Mini about every time you post a new pic, you just get prettier and prettier. I am glad you gals had a good time.

That's totally awesome Brandy...YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes2::thumbup::drool::thumbup::wink::thumbup::thumbup::sneaky::thumbup:
