Ugh, same with my DH... can't even order a freaking pizza!
Same here. All take out orders are all placed by me. He even hates ordering them online. Even worse is drive thru. I think his blood pressure goes up a little every time he has to go through one with a family order. shake head

Quote from kurips :
2 $20 tops. I used a tier with FS. $25 for 2 tops.
top1 [thelimited.com] top2 [thelimited.com]
previously ordered [thelimited.com]
Cute tops! I especially love the blue butterfly tee! I don't know why I am so drawn to the cobalt this year. Girly

Quote from Taryn :
Random question: I have a spinning bike I'd like to sell. (We're moving in June and I don't want to lug it with us.) I'm wary of Craigslist, but how else could I sell it? I just don't like the idea of a stranger coming to pick it up at the house.

I know that probably sounds paranoid. : embarrassed:
Not at all. When I've used CL in the past I only ever sold things that I could pack up in my car or husbands truck and we would meet in a public parking lot. One time I sold my stepper and I was worried about some nut showing up. But I sold it to some really nice college age girl who came with her boyfriend to pick it up in an apt I was moving out of. If you have access to a truck and a person willing to help move it you can always meet them somewhere. Otherwise make sure you have another person with you if they come to your home. Preferably a man. Wink


Quote from GoHeels :
I like the way the halter tankini fits best too, but I wanted a variety. I don't want them all to be the same, but different colors/patterns.
I never really got into swimsuits so all mine are tankinis in black. But since coming here I want to branch out. laugh out loud

Quote from GoHeels :
RPR is fine. The rooms are smaller. The pool is more for families with younger kids. We also don't like the onsite restaurants as good. It just didn't feel as deluxe to us as the other 2 do. The major negatives are walk was further than HRH & it isn't nearly as nice as PBR. Those things combined make it less desirable for us. It's a personal opinion though. Many people really like RPR. I'm sure you'll have a great time. We can be picky, when it comes to hotels.
We can be picky too. I hear the grounds of RPR are beautiful. The walk won't bother us because we take the boat to the parks and park to park is the same distance no matter which hotel you stay. I know once we've stayed PBR suites RPR is going to feel like LaQuinta. laugh out loud For restaurants we planned to go to Mama Della's. Ever try that?

Quote from GoHeels :
As far as the upgrade at HRH, we take our 4-legged baby girl with us to UO. We're limited to rooms that allow pets, so our potential for upgrade isn't good.
Ah I know what you mean, they have certain rooms blocked off for pets. But it is awesome you can bring them isn't it?

Quote from GoHeels :
We signed up for HRH All-Access many years ago. This was when HRC was new, & we wanted to take advantage of priority seating. The last time we ate there it was awful, so we probably won't return anytime soon. UO has too many excellent restaurants to choose from.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks HRC is below par. I don't get why my DH likes it, I think the memorabilia is what draws him there. Cool

Quote from GoHeels :
I really like the 2nd skirt. What do you wear it with?
I haven't worn the second. I'm stuck on the first because it fits better and DH prefers it. Wink I usually just pull things from my closet. I've worn a sequin tank and little blazer that looked really cute, a tank with and a cardi over top, off the shoulder t's, I've even done a VS t in red
 [victoriassecret.com] and my leather jacket when it was cooler out. You can dress it up or down.

Happy Birthday Sheena!! Happybday


My package arrived today too!! Never received a shipped email but the package showed so I guess I have no complaints. DH is going to love his bday gift. Wink

That would be super awesome. Thanks! You never know when colors are online only or they mess up the REAL lighting so bad to distort what it really looks like. Why VS; why?

I probably won't get around to ordering it until I can try it in or towards the end of the month so take your time Smilie
I know, the color on my screen looks so pretty! When you pointed it or i thought it was a perfect color combo as well. Hope you still like it - i like the teal less than what i thought it would look like.

Off topic, but I need some quick advice from you ladies with kids Smilie

My daughter has been terribly fussy all week and I really am at my wits end. I finally got together with her day care provider (who she will start going to Monday when I return to work) and she wants me to bring her tomorrow morning so I have a day of dropping her off before I go to work. Well, I was finally able to make a hair appointment and I can finish some shopping I need to, so I am thrilled.

Well, apparently my inlaws caught on to my irritation with how swamped and stressed I am right now and called my husband and asked him if I was OK. (Apparently they FB stalk me. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)) Well, they want to take my DD tomorrow afternoon and keep her until Saturday so me and DH have some time alone and I can get my first full nights sleep since I had her (and just two days before I go back to work.) However, DD is 10 weeks old today. I feel so incredibly guilty leaving her somewhere for a whole night at 10 weeks! In fact, I started to cry just thinking about being away from her. I really could use a nice night with my husband, but is 10 weeks to young to be with grandma and grandpa for the night? My hubby thinks I'm a moron (well, he looks at me that way sometimes) for worrying about it so much, I just am not sure. How do you all feel about that?

TIA!

You're not a moron for feeling that way and don't let him make you feel like that (my dh would do the same thing). If you trust your in-laws with the baby then it would be nice for you to have that time. There is really no right answer. It's just what works best for you and what you're comfortable with. Don't let them make you feel guilty about whatever you decide. If you don't want to leave her, I totally understand. I didn't leave mine either. Leaving her with someone you trust for a night doesn't make you a bad mom either. Mom's need downtime too.

I usually like to have 5 or 6 swimsuits I like at a time. My DH loves the beach, plus our place in Miami is w/i walking distance. Plus, our 20th anniversary is in Oct., so I'm hoping to have a longer getaway to wear them then.

The view from our room at RPR was beautiful. It was very lush. You will love the grounds. I hope I didn't curb your excitement for your trip. If I'd known you had it booked, I wouldn't have mentioned it earlier. Frown It's a very nice hotel. It just wasn't our favorite. Many people stay there every time they visit UO, & wouldn't stay anywhere else. People just have different preferences. If you like taking the boats, you'll like it even more. We like to walk, which is why we prefer HRH. We often walk over & ride a few rides, then go back to the resort for a swim. My DH & DS will get in a few rides, while I get ready for dinner. The way we tour makes a short walk a must. We literally go to the parks 3 or 4 times in one day, but only stay for a little while each time. The walk from RPR is a little far for me, when I'm not feeling great. For healthy individuals, it's not too far at all. We have walked it several times. I just wear out faster than most people would. Plus, the boat dock isn't far from the rooms, so it's very convenient. It's as close as the boat dock is to the other hotels.

Mama Della's is excellent. It's a great choice. The salad is wonderful. Try to save room for dessert. Although, that's hard to do, because their food is so good

Unfortunately, I don't have much to choose from in my closet for mix-n-match. Between the swimsuits I've already gotten & the ones I have ordered, I now have more bathing suits than summer clothes that fit. Blush I'm bad to go on clothing binges. I decide what I need, then buy the same thing like crazy. shake head Last month it was bras. This month I switched to swimsuits. After I order one more tankini, I'm finally moving on to lingerie I think. What I really need to be buying is clothes. Embarrassment When I decide I want to buy clothes, I usually buy $800 to $1,000 at a time, then not buy any more for months. It's like I have a one track mind that focuses on only one thing at a time. Doh I need to work on that & buy a little at a time when I can get the best deal. I'm going to try to make myself do that this year.

Happy birthday to him. Teehee

If she was acting like she did last week, there would be no doubt no one would be taking her. However, for some reason this week she started being gassy and fussy ALL.DAY.LONG. and she is only sleeping 3 - 4 hours again. I know if she goes over there, she will be held and cuddle and loved on by his parents and his sister all day, and right now I am about to lose my mind holding her.

However, it kind of irritated me that the only reason they called was because they saw me bitching on FB about how stressed I am and how overwhelmed to a friend of mine. I don't have anyone to help me and I wish they could have called anytime in the last two and a half months. I feel bad because it is right before I go to work, hell, I really could have used them for the last ten weeks.

I do trust them to take care of her, I just wish I didn't feel guilty and rushed for the day that they want to do it. Thanks for the answer though Smilie I appreciate it!

I agree with alvs. You should do what you feel comfortable with. We took our DS on our honeymoon, when he was 8 months old. You can tell how I felt about leaving him overnight. laugh out loud Believe me, my DH wasn't happy about the idea at first. OTOH, it's very nice of your inlaws to offer. Mine never did. I would do what I felt comfortable with, regardless of what anyone else thought. If you think you & your DH need the time, & you feel comfortable leaving her with your inlaws, there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your time with him. Bottom line is I wouldn't let anyone talk you into doing something you don't want to do, regardless of what that is.

That is annoying and I understand it is hard with a young child without much support.
Whatever your choice is don't feel guilty. Sometimes it is nice to get away and clear your mind and have some me time.

Hmm has anyone ever sent an exchange in only to have VS do a return instead? I put down the item I wanted to exchange for in 2 different colors and it's still in stock in both of those colors so I'm confused.

They listed it in the exchange section but instead of saying "all items shipped" it just says "complete" and that they've refunded my card.

hey miss ccj! you have used the words guilty, rushed, stressed, unsure, bad, and irritated. it sounds like your gut is leaning away from leaving your daughter in your in-laws care. and that is perfectly fine. if they are interested in spending time with baby ccj, & i'm sure they are, they will plan a nice visit or offer to care for her again at some point. it's not a now or never situation. it is no insult to them to have them wait for an opportunity when you are calm, collected, and comfortable about your daughter spending an extended period of time with them Smilie maybe you or hubby could be the ones to reach out when you're ready for some couple time & it meshes with your emotional state of mind hug
