:coverla f: just the 1 for now, tho i am hoping the 34C will have a tad more coverage. not sure where to get ther 34C - i don't think i saw one at the store, and online it's B/O'd till may. Sadwalk i guess i should order it now...

i'm hoping swimwear will go on sale. it's kinda $$$!

this one [victoriassecret.com] - i actually just tried on the top for him. that was enough. :lo l:

i think it costs more in store than online! i may have to return the set i got from the store and order online - and hell, i may even use a tier and get a 2nd top. i've never spent so much on a bathing suit before but this one is so lovely! (and i have all this SRC credit)

i've only deposited the checks from the angels card (from huntington bank) but those are fine. not sure about the ones from vsd. hopefully alvsy will chime in.
I'm hoping for a swimwear sale or code too. I've already ordered a few. Unfortunately, some of those have to be returned. Naturally, those are the ones I got on clearance. There's still more I want & they're full price at the moment.

Iagree free shipping and returns on swimwear. they used to do that a lot, but I haven't saw one lately.

It's taking mine a long time too. They must have gotten overwhelmed with orders the past few days. I have an order from Sat. that is still says "in process".
Phew, that makes me feel better! I hope it ships soon. I got the palm print bikini top today, just waiting for the bottom to make its way to me!
Quote from longislandgirl :
alvs, anni & porda, is it ok to deposit VSD checks now ? I must have missed it if you girls posted anything about it after alvs said she deposited those checks.
I deposited my Delware bank ones 2 or 3 weeks ago, it was fine! Sorry, didn't realize you were still hanging onto checks! I think the issue has been resolved

That's awesome! Good to know it costs more in store...Man! I still need to make my way to a VS with swim! laugh out loud

I hope there will be some swim codes soon! I have 2 bikinis I want and 1 coverup!

My orders are taking forever to ship. VS was probably out hunting eggs this weekend.
My checks didn't bounce so I guess they're safe.
Cute pics of your DS BTW. Super stylish, must be because of mommy!

I didn't realize you had a bad back too. I hurt mine again early in the week. We had to change our plans too. We were going out to eat for Easter. Instead we're getting Japanese take-out. Nothing says Easter like sushi. I hope you get better soon. hug Bad backs are no fun. Frown
Thanks GH, I didn't know I had one either until now Sadwalk I'm sorry you have to deal with this so often. I've pulled muscles in my back before- but it was nothing like this. I'm on day 5. I seem to have injured it somewhere near where my hips connect to my spine because while the pain originates at the low lumbar/sacral region- it radiates out to my hips sometimes. I'm beginning to wonder if I should see a doctor since the Ibuprofen/rest regimen is taking too long to heal. You sound like you have a lot of experience with back injury, penny for your thoughts?

Ouch, sorry to hear about your back. You'll just have to go somewhere special so you can wear those heels when you are feeling better. Wink. . .
Thanks Tizzy. I will definitely do that Girly

It was! Now I'm paying for it bleh. It should get crappy out in a few days though.
Quote from annicus :
i was about to toss my udpp deluxe sample from the naked palette, but decided to cut it open to see just how much i was actually going to waste. i had heard many bloggers do this so it's not like i came up with the idea all on my own. but i was floored at how much i was about to waste - i took a little spatula and scraped out what i could into a little sephora sample jar. it filled up half the jar. Faint i can't believe i was going to toss that!! shake head
I can't believe they haven't changed the container yet! shake head

nod Agree with the other girls- deposited almost all 2 weeks ago and have been fine. They should have bounced by now if there was a problem.

I should have a serious case of the "Monday's" today. My in-laws are coming over for a BBQ and I can't clean up anything! Shocking They say they don't care, but you ladies know how it is- it matters to US. Poor DH, I have to show him how to hide our clutter - oh the newspaper, VS shipping bags, etc... laugh out loud On a more fun note, I hope you ladies are entering the giveaways at SD. After months of entering, I won an Xbox 360! woot

Ha, I couldn't boil them the day I bought them if I tried. I've been so busy AND lazy lately. Back to work next week so that will all change and I have to become a PRO at time management. I have to leave the house no later than 6:45 (more like 6:30) and before I had her, I never even got up until 7!! LOL!

We were supposed to go to the in laws today. They live an hour and 15 minutes away without traffic, and dinner isn't until 5. Mind you, no one has come to visit us since my daughter was 3 weeks old and we keep going out there, so yesterday my hubby got irritated and just doesn't feel like driving. (I don't blame him, he even worked yesterday!) So we're giving them some BS story about DD being up all night fussy and not feeling safe to drive on no sleep and I'm making ribeyes and hanging out on the couch Smilie Yeah us! Sushi sounds SO good.

I'm sorry it isn't what you guys wanted to do, but try to make the best of it!

Hope everyone else is having a good easter - my DD says "Happy Easter" to everyone:






I saw that on a few orders last year with SRC's and I never had an issue - hope everything works OK for you!
love the pic!

thanks alvs (or should i say, no thanks!! my wallet hates you).

i just ordered - nords has the DWL makeup lesson for 42.50! perfect for the gwp. Smilie

man, i can't believe i just spent close to $100 (well, over that if you count tax) on EL stuff in the last 4 days. i can't remember the last time i bought anything from them before this.

i'm in between colors on DWL but i ordered the darker one. i'll probably just mix a lighter foundation with it until i get around to tanning.

Quote from GoHeels :
The Chinese/Japanese restaurant is Ichiban. It's a buffet. You pay for takeout by the pound or you can eat there for a set price. I had only eaten there once before, when we first moved here. My DH ended up there out of desperation. Stick Out Tongue Our usual Chinese place wasn't open either. Confused It wasn't bad it just isn't as good as the a la carte place we planned to order from. It's located on Hwy 54 approximately 10 minutes from Wiregrass Mall. In case you didn't know, Hwy 56 becomes Hwy 54. Let me know, if you decide to give it a try. I can give you directions that wouldn't take you so far out of the way.
I think I've heard of that place. There is another buffet across from Wiregrass that has good reviews, I think it's Chinese/Mongolian Grill/American but can't think of the name. I'm going to drag my hubby to the new Japanese place that opened up next to Panera in New Tampa Sushi Cafe [sushicafetampa.com] it's my turn since we've had Chinese 2x in the past 3 weeks. Wink

Quote from annicus :
i'm not sure how many options you have other than bandeaus. here are a few at nords that look like they'd do the job:
lace bandeau bra [nordstrom.com]
print lace bandeau [nordstrom.com] - this one goes down lower
bandeau [nordstrom.com]
fuller lace bandeau [nordstrom.com] - this one goes down much lower
.
Those are sooo pretty! I wish they gave support. Frown

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Are anyone else's orders on VS taking a long time to ship? Maybe I was used to their fast shipping, next day or the day after, got spoiled. My order from Thursday/Friday is still processed, waiting to ship!!
Yes, my last order is taking forever to ship! I think I'm on 4 days now. Usually they ship the next day for me.

i tried on the gorgeous bikini for DF. his jaw dropped. guess i am keeping it! : lol:
I would say that is a definite indicator that it's a keeper. laugh out loud

Unfortunately, it could be so many things, I couldn't venture to guess. A pinched nerve, strained muscle, or damaged disc are a few possibilities off the top of my head. Hopefully, it's one of the first two. A damaged disc is a bigger deal. If the pain is debilitating, you should definitely go to see a doctor. They could give you stronger pain meds. or a round of steroids to make it heal more quickly. It would probably be best to see a doctor anyway to assure it isn't anything you could cause further damage to by not treating it properly. I hope you heal quickly, w/o any lasting damage. I'm sorry I can't be more help. hug

I don't think I've noticed the place across from Wiregrass. There's a Chinese buffet where you enter TRU, Outback, the theater, etc, but I'm sure that's not what you're talking about. We go to the mall from different directions. Is the Chinese/Mongolian place on Bruce B Downs?

I don't think Ichiban is worth the drive, unless you really want a Chinese/Japanese combo. There's definitely better options around for Japanese & Chinese. I just don't know of any other places that offer both of them.

Let me know what you think about the Sushi Cafe. We may have to give it a try.
