hi kali.
hope you are feeling better.
i wish i had skinny jeans i could fit into!! but that is ok, cause i know i am my own worst enemy.
about the cards: (thank you cards) what i did was, print out mailing labels, on our computer, so she wouldnt have to write almost two hundred addresses.just a lot faster that way. it went pretty fast too.
now we are just waiting for the photographers pic's CANT WAIT!!!!
there is one picture that a friend of ours took, at the ceremony, when dh was "walking her down the aisle" that i want to scan onto the puter, and then download to my spark page...also going to get it blown up, it is so beautiful. i think it is a very striking picture. hmmmm...i have the time now, maybe i will try to do it, while hubby is out bow hunting!
take care and i hope you are feeling better

Wow, you helped with Thank You cards? My daughters did their own. Thank goodness!
I've been sick for three days and still not feeling up to par. Not eating (no point) and little exercise. And the scale needs new batteries so who knows what my weight is. Actually my skinny jeans are still loose so things can't be too bad.
Hang in there!

Life is going to be really busy for a while. We have a rescue dog in our house. She's a curly-coated retriever like my other dogs and she's eventually going to go back to her breeder who lives a thousand miles away. She's not used to other dogs and my boys really want to play and be friends but they're pushy. She's intimidated by them. Poor thing.
And then in November, it's NaNoWriMo which is National Novel Writing Month where people from all over the world get together to write a 50K word novel in 30 days. Check it out or sign up at www.nanonwrimo.org. Not only am I writing another novel this year, but I'm the Municipal Liaison for my area of the state.
And we're still trying to sell our house which means lots of cleaning and maintenance - what a pain!
So I may not be around a lot... but I still love and care about you all.

Karen -- You look radiant -- almost as radiant as the blushing bride! You're so beautiful and your face looks thinner as well. I didn't see any photos of your butt, so I can't say but I know we're usually our own worst critics. I love your outfit. Brown definitely seems to be this Fall's color! And it looks great on you! And your hubby is a cutie too.
Be happy -- you did yourself proud.

whew!
hi ladies...yep, it is all over! the wedding couldnt have been any better, for what we planned. they were married outdoors, at a county park, and the weather was perfect! we really lucked out.
but we(hubby and i) are totally exhausted. we had gift opening at their "lounge" in their apartment complex today, and as soon as they were done opening them, we "hightailed it" out of there, to go home. we had been staying at the hotel where the reception was, since thursday, so we really really really wanted to get home. dh has been asleep in his chair since 5:30pm. i hate to have to wake him up, to go to bed!
i put some pics on my page, but those are from our camera, and since i didnt want to babysit it all nite, or at the ceremony, there are not alot yet, till we get some from other people. gosh, at the ceremony, there were so many people wandering around the gardens trying to get close to take pics...i felt like they were the "paparazi's" and sarah and jeff were celebs! so i should be able to get some more pictures.
oh i am so tired, cant hardly type!
just wanted to stop in and say HI!!!! tomorrow starts "back on the band wagon" or should i say "spark wagon"!! i felt like such a big fat pig, i am sick of myself. i am serious now about loosing this darn weight.
have a nice evening

Jackie -- Good to hear from you! Sounds like things are moving along well for your daughter's wedding. So exciting, isn't it?
Yes, Rachel's wedding went beautifully and we all had a ton of fun. Although I'm not at my target weight yet, I'm well on my way and a lot of people noticed and made very positive comments. Very good for my ego. And I'm much happier with the photos of me from this wedding although I know if the weddings were next year, I'd really have loved the pictures of me. Oh well.
Can't wait to hear how the other weddings are and see some fabulous photos! Aren't weddings wonderful? New beginnings, all that love and positive energy? Makes me smile just thinking about it!
Keep plugging away at those goals, ladies. It takes effort but it's worth it.

 Good for you losing 2 lbs. Jackie, I can only imagine how things are for you, well at least you have many things to look forward to, at this point you are really getting exited!!!!, Well the insurance finally OK'd my insulin pump, it should be arriving on Tues. This diabetes thing always seems to happen around my Birthday, I hope this one brings my better luck than the last milestones [diabetes].
Well I just finished my homework for college, my husband has not been well, he had chest pain yesterday morning, and pain in his arm, well I took him immediatly to the doctor, as I know what this can mean. He had a EKG and a chest XRay, in about 4 hours he will be having a stress test. He had a emotional melt down this morning. I was really scarred. He did finally get to work and worked a full shift. [8 hours] they are sending him to baltimore Mar. on Tues, but he isn't going alone, I am thankful for that.
My dad is in the hospital also, he has 3 fractures in his pelvis,and is working on getting rid of pneumonia. So I have been stressing lately.
I bet it will be nice to go with your daughter, to get her dress. [In the states you have to order your dress 7 months ahead] It will be great to have your husband home again, Better go, it was nice to chat with you. Blessings, Diana

Diana, Kali and Karen - I am so sorry that I havent been around lately - lots of reasons, one of which is that my computer works so slowly that I just loose patience with it.
I just thought I'd pop in and see how y ou are all doing - Kali you must have had your wedding by now, and Karen - isn't your wedding about now?
I haven't had time yet to read thru all your postings. How are you Diana? I am really annoyed with myself that I haven't been keeping in touch and its now going to be even harder as my daughter (the bride) has arrived from England.
Yesterday we went to a new bridal salon to see if she liked the place better than the one where she has a dress ordered and her sister went to in June. She did - and of course its more expenseive there! But she has chosen a beautiful dress. In the original salon there can be up to 5 brides at one time - here there is only one - and so the treatment is definitly better. Now I have to cancel the original place - I'm not looking forward to that and will loose my deposit - more money gone!
My husband will be arriving here on the 20th, my sister in law and hubby (from LA) will arrive on the 21st and will be staying 10 days. The English part of the family (mother, brother and his wife plus their 4 children) will be arriving the day before the wedding (26 Oct).
I have managed to loose one kilo (just over 2 pounds) in all since the June wedding. I had hoped to loose so much more, but after my hubby went to Nigeria and during the war, I just couldn't get it together and put on weight.
Diana, I'm just reading thru y our last message - what is happening with your husband? I haven't forgotten about you and really do think of you a lot!
Anyway ladies, I have to get going - I have to cook dinner for this evening now, as I am going out all day with both my daughters (what joy!). We are going to take my dress for its final fitting plus both my "English" daughter and myself need to get new glasses - and for me, that is like taking out a mortgage!! Later on we have to go up North to pick up my son in law and bring him here for the weekend too!
Love to you all,
Jackie
