for now, i take smaller steps and try not to land too hard on my heels when i walk in heels. it's easier on my knees, and keeps them from hurting so much. it also minimizes the cluck-cluck-cluck of walking in heels - i hate making so much noise when i walk so that's an added bonus. when i'm jogging, i slow down/walk when it's a decline, otherwise my knees tend to hurt the next day. i also started trying out barefoot running [wikipedia.org] - it's alleviated a lot of pain on my joints i think, but it works out my calves a lot. (i don't run barefoot - i use minimalist shoes)
I definitely don't run when I can help it because it makes my knees hurt and I suck at it.
I thought about taking stuff to help the cartilage in my knees (glucosamine), but hesitant about that. I guess it's a lifestyle change I've gotta make. Thanks!

G-luck and let me know if you want names of any of my other online vendors.
She just figured out that she can't do it the week before the wedding? :faint :
I do all kinds of crafty stuff so maybe I can offer some ideas. You could wire 'N' & 'C' separately and dangle them from the bows like charms. Also, I've been starting to work with flat-back rhinestones. They come in a lot of sizes- at about ss16-25 they would be small enough to eek out a nicely shaped logo. Cut out your logo shape on cardstock of the same blue shade that your rhinestones will be, glue the stones on and voila. Michael's carries ones like this [michaels.com] . Depending on how many you're going to do, you could buy cheaper/non-swarovski through your local craft store OR I've been using DreamtimeCreations. They have a wealth of options including 1-day & 2-day shipping. These dull-blue [dreamtimecreations.com] ones look about right for your purpose, their crystal glue is incredible (these are hot-fix, but I wouldn't depend on that). 1440 stones/10gross should cover any major project. Good luck!
Thanks so much for the logo suggestions. The ribbon arrived about an hour ago, so I can start making the bows. I'm going to send my DH to Michael's this evening to look for those bead. This wedding has been a strange experience to say the least. My sister, the groom's mom, had to pay for the reception decorations & food. The bride's family now says they're making flower arrangements to put on the church pews. She says they're making cones out of paper & putting 3 roses in them. There's 21 pews. They ordered 48 roses & that's supposed to make the bride's & maid of honor's bouquets also.
Materials:
- inkjet printer
- white cardstock (Off-white will distort the color), preferably with a sheen to it- ink will sit on the top and pick up more powder. Do not use construction paper.
- clear embossing powder (you could try clear with glitter, but IME, it just looks dirty), $3-4
- heat tool, ~$12
1) predetermine the size of logo needed for your job.
2) Setting your printer to it's highest ink setting, print the logo out.
2) As the image exits the printer, drop embossing powder on the image. <--most important part, if ink is totally dry- powder won't stick!
3) Shake off excess, then use heating tool to melt the powder, revealing your image, now raised and glossy
4) cut logo out and adhere to bows
All materials can be found at Michael's or JoAnn's. I did this for our wedding invitations- results were amazing.
This is the only YouTube video I could find on it. [youtube.com]
:teehee : I thought it is about when your child starts asking you about "touching"
I guess my parents kept telling me these problems happened when I would go to school with shorts in the freezing cold morning. I did so because it got super hot later in the day. I've noticed my knees hurt when I'm out in shorts when it's super cold, so I've stop that now.
Have you been able to do anything to manage the knees? I can't give up heels!!!!!! :sadwalk :
Sorry to hear about your knees, I know you had mentioned some various issues, but didn't realize your knees were affecting you so much. I'm going to definitely take care of my knees and will get them checked out if it gets worse. I can't imagine swollen knees!

I hope everything comes together nicely for the wedding!

I bought this is black. It's so hot!
I've been obsessed with one shoulder dresses and tops for the past couple of months. Makes total sense since it's winter
Too bad nothing like Nordstrom's rack is around me! But one of these days, I will make it to the one in Brea or regular Nordies just to try them on!
Lady, what are you talking about? There's a Nordies Rack across the street from the mall we met at last time!
hmm i cannot wear steve madden pumps. i tried 1 on for like, an hour at a club (switched with friend whose feet were killing her) and omg i wanted to chop off my feet. so maybe we have differently picky feet, hehe.
