WL how can you love wine and hate cheese?! Wine and cheese is like PB&J, or peas and carrots! Blasphemy!

I can do some cheese but funky not right stinky cheese no can do. Now dark chocolate and red wine, that''s a different story. Changed my life.

Haha. Some of the stinkiest ones are the tastiest! Ditto on the dark chocolate. Been noshing on a square of 70% dark with some 10 year tawny port a few evenings this week. It''s A''s favorite ''dessert''.

*ahem* 2nd favorite you mean

POOP!

There has been a significant lack of that in ST while you were gone, elle.

Wonder whyyyyy???

In other news, I''m planning a lingerie shower/bachelorette party for my officemate, and I am so friggen excited!

Maybe everyone is CONSTIPATED! I command fiber intake increase for all STers!

Awww that sounds fun, VC! Can I come?

dude, you totally jinxed yourself on butt sniffles. just sayin.

POOP!

We haven''t broached that subject yet today have we? Everything is good on my poop front.

I feel like I could kind of poop - but it won''t be ready until later. That''s good though - because I hate pooping at work.

see! and when you were ready, boy were you ready.

Trace my birth 9 months back and you hit my moms birthday.

Trace my sister back and you hit Valentine''s Day, lol.

I was the first attempt at TTC, lol.

crap i traced me back and ended up on what might''ve been memorial day. thankfully not the same date as when i''m hoping to get married but i''m not checking that one.

most of my family are januaray babies with the rest mostly falling into late fall and winter. i was a month early so i cheated into the majority month.

The hawklet is so not going to be that cute. S/he''s going to exit my ute swearing like a sailor and throwing a mean right hook.

s/he''ll lay the smackdown on the doc that slaps her/his behind!

Jealous. I want a spaaaaarkly!!!

Okay, LIW whining session over. I really am enjoying the anticipation phase. As long as he doesn''t wait tooooo much longer.

You said next spring right? Or am I making that up?

Best guess is late March/very beginning of April during the Cherry Blossom Festival.

I very much look forward to your ''I''m Engaged!'' post!

It''ll be here before you know it. Then it''ll be gone before you know it.

Hehe. I''m looking forward to posting it!

And that whole ''it''s here than gone'' thing is exactly why I''m not minding the wait. After it happens, the anticipation is gone and then I have to start planning a wedding in a city I''ve only been to twice. *Sigh*

you could be like me and not really announce it aside from a few texts, PS, and immediate family, and just change your relationship status (with it not set to post to your wall of course). my cousin and i were chatting on the nameless site tonight and that''s when she found out

so technically mine''s still a surprise to people 3.5 months later

I know you''ve told me where before, but I have a terrible memory! Refresh, pleeease?

Do you have ideas for your wedding yet, or are you waiting until you get the ring on your finger?

Kansas City, MO.

Do I have ideas?!?! HA! I''ve been working on this shit for almost a year now.

Actually, mostly what I''ve got is a ton of venues and photogs and all that stuff bookmarked on the ''net and wedding sites, so that when we actually start planning I''ve got a list. And I know colors will be purple and green. And everything will be tied together with brass accents via antique keys.

That''s all I''ve got...so far.

hmm if you ask nicely it''s only 6 hours from me so i can see if i can con some friends into a road trip to, "sight see" and report back

in highschool due to band and club activities i ended up going places 3-4 hours away almost every weekend, so i just consider things in a 4-5 hour drive range to be completely logical to go there and back in a day. i do like highway driving though and well i know i''m odd.

LOL! My mom came with us to the drag burlesque show...then ordered 3 rounds of jello shots for us!

HAHA. My mom would totally do that. Just don't know if she'll be able to make my bachelorette...if I even have one. I'm not counting on having a shower, either. Such is the problem with being in a different timezone than your mother and over 8 hours away from both your bridesmaids.

The girls at work might throw me one, though. Who knows.

But I'm not counting on anything. And that kinda makes me sad.

I also might not be able to do a bouquet toss at my reception cuz I've counted, and there's all of like 3 single women that will be there.

ok i'm going to try this abbreviation thingy:
STG2GBP! it would be epic. (and that's BP as in bach party, not bridal, and epic as in amazing, not engagement pic

)

We returned it immediately and they swapped it for a new one. I''m kind of peeved at DH because the box had clear scuff marks on it. I would have asked for a pristine one

HAHAHA. Well, yay BB customer service. Boo inattentive hubby.

i think i saw the island of misfit toys one too many times growing up, i always take the dinged up box if it''s for myself.

Bye VC!!

HH, tomorrow can be B-pic day on ST.

B for BUTT?

I have a good butt bpic too. Photog got ''all up in my business'' as he put it.

man i don''t think i''d ever get a good b-pic in that case. my "business" must be a multi-million conglomerate. i need to get myself in serious gear so it gets down to a franchise if not to the mom & pop store goal by supposed wedding date.

So, I think this has been a thread before, but what do you guys think of posting a picture of your ring on FB when you announce your engagement? What about sending pics with a text to everyone you know?

i didn''t post anything until a couple of my friends started texting and IMing FI to get him to make me put them up

which is why the album is titled "pics for my wifey"

Someone I used to work with told her mom via a picture text. That''s not right, yo!

Morning everyone! Thanks for liking my picture.

Elle I hope your butt sniffles go away so you can eat. Bia I woke up all scratchy today too. Pumping Airborne! Pink grapefruit flavor is not as nasty as the orange.

Totally unacceptable!!! You call. THEN you send a text picture of the ring. Srsly.

PS: Morning sunny!!!

lol i texted my parents because it was around midnight so they still ''heard'' the news before i told anyone else, although they were asleep, but timestamps don''t lie!

i know i''m a horrible daughter, but i got them a wii for christmas so it breaks even, right?

OK who wants to help me come up w/ a craft the girls can do at Mini''s B-day party? The girls are ages 4, 6, 8 and 11. I''m having her party at my house so I want some sort of activity for the girls to do.

Paint jewelry boxes?

You can get little balsa boxes from Michaels for a couple bucks a pop in various shapes and sizes...

Good one VC! I could have them design a whole new wardrobe! Ooooh can you say ''BEDAZZLER''?

no wonder i knew i had to come back to ST today! and why yes, i can and will say bedazzler!

 

[Squirrly]

1.5 weeks of ST catching-up is now done. at least it''s done for about the next 4-5 hours until everyone comes back

 

[Lauren8211]

Squirrly - You are seriously a rock star!

Good morning Small Talkers!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Ouchie that hurt my brain...

 

[vc10um]
