Also, if your dad cooks, Williams Sonoma has the awesome colored paring knives that come in a few different colors and have covers on them to protect the blades. That''s what''s in A''s stocking this year, along with some high-quality chocolate.

My parents have too many knives already!

So far I''ve got him some jelly bellies, altoids and chocolate but I wanted some ideas for things that were not candy. I love the flashlight idea. I think maybe between that and some socks, he''ll be set.

OK, ladies, I need stocking stuffer ideas for my dad! He is the hardest person in the world to shop for. Maybe I''ll ask my mom if he needs socks???

you''re so cute

Haha. We have a ton, but one of A''s paring knives that he loves went missing. (How a knife goes missing I have NO CLUE...but it''s gone...) So I decided to get him a new one.

Big T- Ooooh pretty dresses! I like the 2nd one even though that bow would take over my 5 foot frame! I''m going to go shopping after the first of the year sometime. I''m back to not very excited about wedding planning again. I just need to get through the holidays and then I''ll get my mojo back.

Wedding planning is awful.

BUT... dress shopping is fun.

I wish I was 5 feet!

Ugh. That''d be my worst nightmare.

I don''t have that particular girl gene. The creative/crafty/party planner gene. If thats even one gene. Could be multiple.

Oh yay! Someone else who got the party planning gene!

I''m helping my officemate plan her wedding right now and I''m on cloud nine.

It''s especially fun since she and I met our men the same way, only about 2 months apart (her first).

VC my SIL and I are going to start a wedding planning biz one of these days.

Last week I was watching SYTTD with DH and I told him I we had to renew our vows every year so I could get a new dress. I meant to say every 5 years...Freudian slip.

 

[CNOS128]

I felt like I was such a disappointment to all my vendors because I didn''t know exactly what I wanted...
I loved my wedding, but I was so happy not to have to plan anymore! I was way stressed out. If I hadn''t had other stuff to do, I might have enjoyed it more!

 

[winelover23]

Weird thing is I used to love wedding planning but now I despise it.

VC - Quit your job and plan my wedding. I pay in wine, coffee and FUN!

LOL. DH suggested it to me also, so I can get a new dress.

He also suggested that if I get a new job, I can get a new pair of super nice shoes... ie louboutins.

Dude. If I could pay my rent with any leftover coffee (cuz goodness knows I''ll drink all the wine and have all the fun!) I''d totally be RIGHT THERE.

But I''ll help as much as I can on PS in my spare tiiiiiiiime!

J wins.

I''m getting loubies for my wedding. And a cheap dress b/c I''m going to climb trees in it and jump in the Engineering School Fountain in it (BUT NOT THE SHOOOOOOEEES!) for a TTD with ladyciel''s photog.

I want pretty ones that I can wear every year on our anni with a LBD (or a little black something else

)

NO but I''m feeling like I need someone by my side for the next 9 months so I''m going to need someone that can quit their job. I''m going to try and win the lottery this weekend so I can afford that kind of wedding planner. I will pay them $1 million dollars to be my personal beyoch for the next 9 months.

I wanted super nice shoes for my wedding, but I just couldnt imagine forking over a grand for shoes when my parensts were footing the bill for everything else.

Ohhh I can''t wait to see the photos from that TTD, VC!!!

I like the idea of wearing the shoes every year! Wish I had thought of that!

FI and I are the same height. When I wear heels, I tower. When he wears boots and I wear flats, he''s perfect!

 

[winelover23]

Don''t throw anything but...what the f, and when I say f I mean firetruck, are loubies?

I''m 5'' and J is 6''.

Do you wish he was a baller?
Do you wish he had a girl who looked good so he could call her?
Perhaps a rabbit in a hat with a bat with a 6-4 impala?

Thanks Skee-Lo!

 

[Lauren8211]

Yeah I hate being tall.

Yes, it has advantages (like I can put on 10 lbs, and no one would notice) but I SERIOUSLY hate being taller than other people, particularly guys.

I feel huge.
