Exactly!! That's why having a wedding and having kids are SOOOOOOO expensive!

That baby changing diaper thing is cool. I will have to keep that in mind to give out!
And it gets more expensive the older they get, trust me! Big Grin

Thanks for the info! I will def. go for the XS then. Esp. b/c I'm working out triply hard lately. I gained a lot of weight last semester due to stress-eating. :

Thanks, Alvsy! I love the bright blue and red color. They'd be great date night skirts. bounce

I really like the way the blue dress looks...unfortunately, I don't really feel comfortable in strapless. I've never found a comfortable strapless bra and since I've got the smallest of bewbies, whenever I wear strapless, I find myself constantly pulling the top up. shake head
I used to hate strapless to because of the same reason so I always try to go with something that has a halter strap. However, I've realized that really well fitting strapless dresses make all the difference and because of that, I don't mind strapless anymore. I've had good luck with bebe's strapless dresses. The tighter fitting ones

Quote from leftie :
I've been single for....too long than I care to mention! Embarrassment Blush
That's my biggest fear now, that when I do meet a guy I won't know how to be in a relationship. I'm so used to doing whatever I want, whenever I want. How to take a "me" to a "we."
I told him yesterday that I am scared to be a team. He laughed. He thinks I am being cautious, which I am. It is refreshing to be with someone who is not afraid of commitment.

Quote from GoHeels :
I made the egg, tomato, & shrimp over wild rice tonight. My DH loved it. He finished it off. It was really good. We'll definitely have that often.

It sounds like you're really happy. That's great!

Thanks for the additional info on the shorts. I'll try a pair to see what I think.
More info on the egg, tomato, and shrimp recipe please.

I am happy. Thanks!

Let me know how the shorts work out for you.

Quote from teenbean :
I am still looking for the right guy. My problem is that I'm not putting myself out there and I'm picky. I am divorced with two girls, so I only get every other weekend to go out. And then half the time the father doesn't take the girls. I have no one to go out with except my sister. I don't want to hang out in a bar by myself. Plus I feel like only the creepy guys are attracted to me.

I am no good at dating. I married my high school sweetheart, so I have never done the whole dating scene. Online dating scares me!
I would suggest learning your environment. I always hear about people meeting at the grocer, but I never see any cute guys at mine. I realized the cute ones go to my main ones after 9pm. I used to go to the Inner Harbor at lunchtime on my off days (I did not work near there) in my best business attire. I would meet great businessmen on their lunch breaks. I was considering doing that again or going to Happy Hour to meet guys before I began hanging out with nuSO. I am also not interested in online dating.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
@GH and Icey - what I Was saying earlier about life pre-hubby and pre-baby...not that I enjoy the drama or the not having an SO part...I miss draining my bank account and not caring because I didn't have other people relying on me to be responsible...I miss waking up on a Saturday and deciding what I wanted to do then and not needing plans or anything...being able to jet off for a vacation at the mere thought...I miss the spontaneity. I'm big on that.

However, waking up next to someone you love every day is pretty awesome, watching my DD smile and laugh and learn new things is great! Evolving into a different person is good too - some days I just miss the freedom. Not that DH holds me back at all, I just have passed the age where being a stupid kid is acceptable. laugh out loud
Both, being single and being involved, have their pros and cons.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Has anyone bought the cheeky swim bottoms. How much cheeky does it show Teehee?
I have two of the Cheeky Swim Bottoms that come up via search. I do not find them too cheeky, but I also loathe a full-coverage bottom. I do not wear thong or Brazilian-cut swim bottoms. That is too much exposure.

Quote from GoHeels :
I met my DH at work. It definitely wasn't love at first site for me, even though he says it was for him. He was totally different than anyone I had dated. Looking back I realize I was looking for the wrong things in a guy, before meeting him.
I have known nuSO for years. I never looked at him because he usually dates GlamAzons and because I used to hang out with his friend (in a purely plantonic way...but you never know what guys will tell their friends about us). He kept saying that he does not only date GlamAzons. I told him that he'd better not being hanging out with me to prove me wrong! Haha

Quote from Cheapeats :
I think not getting out there more is probably playing a major part in the not meeting anyone. I also only have my sister to hang out with and she seriously is only willing to go out like one time a month IF even that. I think I've been out like 3 times this year.

Lately I've been trying to just leave the house more and do things that may not be beneficial to meeting someone but they could be, You never know where you're going to meet someone so if I want coffee I get out and go get it or if I want a book I skip the online version and go to the store.

It really bothers me feeling like I don't have the chance to meet anyone because I'm never around strangers. I HATE going outside by myself but I've come to the conclusion that even if my sister wishes me the best, it isn't a high priority in HER life that I get out more so that I can meet someone and that isn't abnormal. It's my life. It's only going to be a high priority to me.

That being said, I hope you're all having better luck than I am.laugh out loud
I think you are doing the right thing to try to meet guys. The only way you can meet guys in the house is via the internet, service men, and delivery guys (<----ME!!!).

Has anyone returned any VS lotions without receipt lately? I got some Love Spell recently and I think it's yuck and want to return it. I saw online that they had two different promos, 3 for $25 and 5 for $30. I know it's the lowest selling price, and I have three, so just wondering what I would actually get back. $6 or $8 per bottle. Man! I remember the 3 for $30 days. shake head sure went down in price

My store would find the lowest price possible to give back to me. I would plan for the 5 for 30 so if they gave me more I would be happy.

He said that he cannot remember things I tell him via phone because I am not right in front of him. He said "your booty helps me focus and remember what you are saying". #SoSad

Sidenote: He also said, "get off of it", referring to the computer.

Mine gives me back whatever it rings up that day...but my SA's are weirdly nice. The last time I needed to go in store to get something my daughter got fussy and two of the SA's held her and played with her while I finished my shopping and checked out. Noooooo....I totally don't spend too much time in there.

One day we went in and one of the SA's ran up and gave me a hug. My husband informed me something was wrong if the girls at VS were happier to see me than my family laugh out loud

Sorry I don't know. I don't usually use them. I can send it to you and if you have a need for it use, if not I wasn't going to use it anyway. Wink

I don't know if anyone with a nail polish addiction is around right now but Good Morning America has a Deborah Lippman deal going and it's today only so it might end at midnight.

There's only 6 polishes being offered. The prices are $6.40 - $8 and the shipping is a flat $8.50 Click the link and enter promo code GMA
