Just anything. Everyone was all about the baby and didn't seem to care about me. Even my parents.

:highfive : So glad! Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, that's my motto :nod :
Hmm... but even with that input, you still kick yourself for not getting the one you initially wanted. What if you had gotten the one that you wanted... would you kick yourself because it wasn't the one that he was best? :scratchh : I'm beginning to think we should only ask what they think if we secretly want the answer to be no :bulb :

Haven't had any luck with clearance swim stuff working with the tote code either. :annoyed :

I'm not entirely sure. She said "pick your dress and we'll get them all hemmed to be the same length". 1 of the dress choices was clearly 2" above the knee, another was just above the calf... I'm thinking unless I actually want mine hemmed, I'll just hike it up as much as I can and say it was hemmed :evil : I agree with you. I think she was trying to do her BM's a favor, but this kind of stuff takes away from that. I also need to stop googling the style #... I keep finding it for $130... $109... :facepalm :

Sounds like you helped polish that wedding up a bit :girly : Let me know if you have any questions about the technique. It was initially intended to work with rubber stamps and clear ink.
Ohh, good one. I need to add lighter color belts to the wardrobe summerization list. Currently I have: Coral color top, nude T-strap pumps, neutral day-night purse and still need skinny pants in different colors.
Finding the dress for so much less just adds insult to injury. Sorry about that. hug

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Warning about the return labels:

Remember when they had this with shoes (or was it jeans?), wasn' there was some text in the label about how it could only be used to return the item required (shoes/jeans) to generate the label and nothing else or you would be charged? I don't remember if VS followed up on that...but just keep your eyes peeled for it.
Thanks for the warning. I wouldn't have read the find print. Embarrassment I would have been really unhappy with myself, if I paid to return items that I could have taken to VS instead. Returning from home is so much easier, but I don't want to pay. Hopefully, this return label won't be so restrictive.

Saw this on a couple of the mommy blogs on fb. Take survey for $5 plum district code. Code expires on the 18th so its not valid that long.
Thanks for posting so many deals. I may check out the smudge sticks. I don't have any.

My favorite thing I got was an "It's a boy" mug with flowers in it. It wasn't so much for the flowers, but I loved the mug. I still have it. I plan to add flowers & pass it down, if my DS ever has a boy. Where I'm from, most people don't bring the baby gifts in the hospital. They buy for the baby at the shower, & buy for mom in the hospital. If they didn't attend the shower, they bring a typical shower gift to the hospital for the baby. Mom still gets a gift. I had bundle loads of stuff to take home (flowers, balloons, signs for the door, mailbox, & yard, chocolates, etc.). Another thought, if you're really close to her DH, someone bought my DH bubble gum cigars to hand out. It wasn't that people just loved us. Stick Out Tongue It's the same for all moms there that have a lot of family & friends.

The Stila Smudge Sticks had a GWP yesterday. They removed it today. It would have been a great deal, if we could have also gotten the GWP. I wish they would hurry up & start using Shoprunner. I'm usually to cheap to order $50 for FS.

I would like to buy some Smudgesticks but they irritate my eyes and F up my contacts Sadwalk

Alvs I haven't used that dry shampoo but my fav is this [ulta.com] one. It seems to be the most invisible, others can make my hair look dull and grayish. I have tried 3 of the scents and liked them all

I'm always looking for suggestions on the best places to go around here.
well howdy neighbor! wave

I'm probably the last person to ask. We moved back to Florida from up north. We've only been in the area a little over a year. I'm from the east coast of Florida and Philly areas so I'm more familiar with them. I should be asking you!! I have to say we haven't ventured to far out of chain restaurants. Cheesecake Factory, Maggiano's, Kobe Steakhouse, Shula's, PF Changs, Outback, Bahama Breeze (nice patio area on the water for drinks while you listen to music - gets very crowded), and not a chain but we like Liang's Bistro. There was a good sushi place we liked, Sushi Ko, but the last two times we went wasn't great so we've moved on. I'm sure I'm missing places too. For just drinks we've been to Whiskey Joe's, World of Beer, Brass Tapp, and a couple places I can't remember the names of. Dh's friends brought us there and they were some late nights so I can't recall names at the moment. LOL. Embarrassment

Guess that's what counts. I'd still buy the other tho. Teehee

you know, i think it might irritate my eyes too, when i use it on my waterline. that may be why my eyes tear up and then it disappears. but i've read that they used to make it with something that irritates eyes but they changed it or something. i need to go back and read more about them but they def did change the formula at some point.

thanks for the dry shampoo rec!

Thanks for the help. It wasn't either of those. I hope I haven't waited too long to use it.

We have a World of Beer here. We haven't tried it, because one of us would need to drive. Technically we could walk, but I don't see that happening. laugh out loud Would you recommend it? We could get our DS to drop us off & pick us up.

We don't do a lot in Tampa either. It's rare for us to go out, unless it's for a weekend getaway. Most of those are in North Miami or Orlando. We need to get out around here more often. I'm going to look into Liang's Bistro. We've been to most of those chains on getaways. Shulas would be the exception. We haven't tried it in Orlando thinking we would go to the one here. Obviously, we still haven't done that. Hopefully, we will soon.

I don't see Bonefish Grill on your list. You should give it a try. Also, have you been to Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City? If not, I recommend you add it to your list of possibilities too. Some day we'll try Bern's Steakhouse. It's been on our list forever, but we've never made it there. I'm thinking we need to book a hotel in the city for one of our weekend getaways to experience more of what Tampa has to offer. We're always too cheap to eat at the most expensive places, like Bern's, in our daily life. Blush

In case I'm not the only one that buys stuff & forgets where I bought it, the Bloom voucher was from Gilt City.
