Yes, bogo $29.90. Weird they'd change on Saturday.
I just sent my friend an email telling her to order her shorts. Lol. I want more! There's a new red that I like. I think I may use rewards or bday reward.

Like it better actually unless it's 40% stack with bogo laugh out loud!
Too bad no one checked last night!

Very generous of you to think that of him... I will try to simma' down and give him the benefit of the doubt. : )

About PR - that was our stopover on the way to St. Thomas. Storm + tiny plane meant we spent the night in PR. Seems easy to navigate, friendly people... when I was looking at the area I'd see lots of deals there... you might get more vacay for your buck there by not having to fly so far to Vegas.
In Vegas, they have a tram between a lot of the hotels that you could use to mitigate some of the walking. It's a long way to fly for Vegas though... or maybe I'm Vegas'd out :don tknow:

On arthritis-friendly climates - my parent's friends and my grandma all moved south from the upper midwest - Texas and Arizona. Lots of transplants there.
Obviously, you know him better than I do, but sometimes people surprise you. Smilie Plus, men have a way of downplaying things in an attempt to avoid disappointing the women in their life. I'm sure he loves you & doesn't want to upset you any more than he already has.

I'm going to spend today researching prices for SJ & Vegas to see if I should keep looking for other destinations. I know how much a WDW vacation would cost us. It comes down to which will provide us the best vacation for the money.

If we do move, it would probably be to Arizona. Nevada appears to be a good choice too. Where did they move to in Texas? I always thought most areas in Texas had a lot of rain. It really makes me depressed to think about leaving FL though. I hate the fact that I may have to give in & do that eventually. Down DH, OTOH, would love it. He's been trying to talk me into moving for years. The days when I'm in a lot of pain weaken my resolve to fight him on it.

Quote from red333 :
You're absolutely right. PR was very reasonable. I ate at amazing restaurants, drank good beer, and did all of the nice touristy things. Even my airfare was cheap. I paid less than $300 R/T from Minneapolis. I flew through Miami, so it would probably be super cheap for you. Even my excursions were reasonable. I stayed mostly in Old San Juan. There's enough to do there for a weekend, and you could take excursions a little further.
Where did you stay? I've been looking at hotels & there doesn't appear to be many in Old San Juan. Hotel El Convento looks nice, but I'm wondering if there are more, equally good options I should search prices for. I'm mostly interested in history & culture, so that's where we'd be spending most of our time. Staying outside that area & commuting in doesn't sound as appealing.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
hehe! wow, that would be an extra splurge for me! :lo l: I don't have sweets, ever and if I do, it's like...a couple times a year. I only get Sprinkles once a year. :lo l : Once a week would be :fai nt: But I like your idea of a once in a while splurge. Maybe on a bad work day, it can be a treat.
You're so good. I count the minutes, until Saturday arrives. I literally jump out of bed excited to eat something sweet. Breakfast this morning was cake. laugh out loud I made it last night to make sure it would be ready, when I got up. Teehee If I could get rid of my sweet tooth, I probably wouldn't need to diet at all.

Is it very apparent? She doesn't want to be darker for the wedding but she thinks tanning may help with the redness in her arms. I think she was just gonna try like st Tropez orsomething. Bad idea? She still has a month... So it's best the next day?
A lot of people say the Clinique Redness Solution powder works great. Has she tried something like that? If the powder got on the inside of her dress, it would wash out easily. That would probably be safer than self tanning products. At least, she could wash it off, if it didn't look right.

Quote from nerdicus :
Wait.. Wasn't the express sale bogo on shorts? It's different now.. 40% off!
Thanks

Also, they brought back the tank without shelf bra. Love this one! Gonna stock up!

Boo, I wish I didn't have so many camis already. I would much prefer them not have a shelf bra, but it seems crazy to rebuy the same colors I already have hanging in the closet. Why didn't they have these, before I bought so many camis? Sadwalk

I was in a Sheraton Old San Juan, right on the ocean. It may be a really expensive hotel, but I have no idea since It was for DBF's conference so his company paid. There were several along that strip of ocean, but I don't remember the names. Old San Juan is not very big, so anywhere within Old San Juan should be fine.

Does anyone think VS will offer free shipping on any order? I have a couple $10 mailers, but I don't want to spend anymore this month. If they had free shipping, I'd get some panties or something.

I don't think they have around SAS before. Free shipping in anything occurs almost never now, basically just around holidays, so I wouldn't count on it. Maybe they'll have free shipping in bras again.

probably start back as soon as online sas is gone. hopefully that will be soon because it's getting boring. i like playing with the code combos.

I totally agree. They have way too many rights and there are so many professional sorry asses in this country that know how to work the system it's sickening.

I just started playing WoW Faint I'm trying to prep for Blizzcon! Whee
Whaaaaaat? Horde or Alliance? Which class? Well that's great. I hope you are having fun!

By the end I had 1.5 million gold, was a GM of a competitive guild and a progression raider. I actually have met 7 of the guys I raided with IRL! I definitely don't regret my years of playing but I am glad it's over. Still a lot of fun looking back though.

They have changed some of the smilies, so don't feel like too big of a loser. Nooo I have not tried the cookie butter. It stares at me when I'm in the freezer section Teehee What do you do with it? And uuuugh EEK! your toothpick in the mouth story is my nightmare... eewwwww and owwwwww!And WOW, you quit WoW?! Holy CoW Big Grin
Haha yes! I did! Everyone said I'd be back (people always go back) but I haven't felt the itch. I'm proud of myself. Which cookie butter do you see in the freezer section? I'm talking about the one in the jar in the pb section. It's heavenly.
Quote from GoHeels :
I'd love the alfredo sauce recipe to make this weekend. Please That's one thing that never turns out good for me, regardless of what recipe I've tried. I need a new one.
Here you go! [allrecipes.com]

A couple of things- I personally haven't had a problem with thickness like the reviews say- just take it off the heat after a little bit and it'll thicken up. For just the sauce without shrimp, saute the garlic in butter and proceed. I've used fat free half and half too but now that I know what's in that stuff I'll go back to regular half and half.

Finally, the amount of sauce you get isn't enough for how much pasta is called for. So either double the ingredients or half the pasta. Good luck!!

i thought the beach was ugly too. i like white sand Teehee. i do want to see charleston. dh had to deal with work drama when we planned to go there and we have not made it back to south carolina since.
I follow the Iowa Girl Eats blog and she and her husband just went to Charlestown. I've never wanted to go there especially but her pictures make it look like such a wonderful place to visit!
