"I love the passion, wouldn't want it any other way" LOL Hell yeah, sister! No, thank you, I just found a room to live in, moving in the last week of this month, and everything is peachy!!! Well, I mean there goes the worry our of my mind and I feel like the adjustment will be ok too. I'll take it as it comes. Thanks for the compliments, LOL!! Nice dress! Yeah that bow is a little weird. I hope your emotions will smooth out soon--mine just recently did and I'm grateful for that, sheesh!! I was like, crying every night for a while there......
Val I'm so happy for you! Yeah I hate that freakin bow! Thank you, I totally feel better today, I'm sorry you had such a rough pms. I hate how it messes with my emotions. I'm a mess as it is, really don't need any assistance from my period
I would have to say that as far as bridesmaid dresses go, this one by far is the best I've seen in years!! I like the top part, how cute! I bet you are going to look fantastic in this. I better see a picture of you in it too!!! All dolled up! AHHH How cute!! You may have to end up taking it in even further by the rate your going down in size, WOW, you are doing so good! Any more beach time in the future!! I would be there all the time if I lived close enough to get to one. Enjoy your evening!! Oh and on the pineapple slice off top, slice down sides carefully and cut into chunks, that's what I do. Good luck!
Kim Thank you for the explanation, I LOVE the pictures! Tomorrow I'm going to slice and dice like a local

YES I'm hitting the beach tomorrow as well! I know I have it good, being so near to the ocean. Oh I'm certainly going to post pictures of me in it, let's just call it another progress pic. But my hair will look fabulous, I've already decided to leave it down, like beach hair. I think wavy hair is so sexy
Nice one Kim. The pictures make it all the more interesting.. (Note: I already know how to cut pineapples) Just remembered a recipe I made for friends using pineapple. I sliced it all up first, then in a mortar I crushed some mint leaves and sugar, and then sprinkled the mixture onto the pineapple slices. Then bung it under a grill (or into the oven more like!) for a few minutes till the slices get all brown and caramelly..Delish...of course it's used for sweet n sour chicken as well, but I shouldn't be going there...
Rho Damn that sounds good, I'll just add it to my list of all my impending cooking excursions.
I agree the dress is beautiful. I really love the color, is that the color that's being used? When is the wedding? Keep us posted on what happens with the poor bride's dress. How's the Leigh Plan going these days? Hope you're doing well sweetie

.
Blancita It is the color! It's called
Tiffany Blue, which works for me

My friend tells me that it's a bit more turquoise in person. August 11th is the date and I really hope the seamstresses can turn a size 8 into a size 12 for my friend Lisa. Leigh's plan is going well, but I seriously feel like someone is holding a gun to my head when it comes to weights. I hope I learn to love it like you and Cym
Sorry Sara, didn't see your response. Yep, I guess naff is an English thing.. Naff, crap, wack...These expressions just creep up on you, don't they.. The poor bride's going to be hard pressed to outshine her bridesmaids, so her dress must be out of this world! (Ever since my friend's wedding I've been mildly obsessed with wedding dresses and for the first time in my life I have even thought of my dress might look like!!) I hope the dress issue gets sorted out, cos August's just round the corner! Ah well, it always turns out alright in the end, even if there are blood, sweat and tears on the way there.. Hope you're having a nice evening Sara.. I'm still busy working on the research methodology chapter of my dissertation *joy*
Rho I love that English thing. I would sound ridiculous trying to use them so I'll leave it to you, but I really wanna use naff. haha BRILLIANT! I'm going to post a picture of her dress, it's quite lovely. Again the only thing I don't dig about her dress is the silk bow, but I think that's just me. Bows piss me off. I would love to know the topic of your dissertation, you write so well, I'm sure it's amazing.
Hey, sorry I didn't come on sooner to help cheer you up from when you were feeling down. I just wanted to say that I just went through that. I didn't want to do anything, not cooking, not eating right, not even going on the computer to come on here when I had a spare minute! It really sucks being in that kind of state but as long as you can get out of it then you'll be fine! That dress is so pretty! I remember going to my sister's wedding and I was upset because I was the fat one and they (all my sisters) looked so good in all their dresses and then there's me, fat with the big arms, etc etc. I hate looking at any pictures of me like that. I want to lose the weight so that one day when I get married, I won't feel like that about my own pictures! Well, I wanna lose the weight for more reasons that just that, but that's one of them, lol. Anyways, good luck with your exercising, I know you'll do great you always do!
Risty Ohh thanks

It's a bitch when you want so much to do well but sometimes we aren't ready to handle the enormity of this process. I feel much better today, and I'm happy that you're overcoming it as well. I know what you mean about feeling like the fat girl in the wedding! I hate that my arms are still going to be pudgy, but I have to accept it and just have as much fun as possible. Thanks girl
