@uwhuskygirl so sorry about your ring, but congrats about the new job.
I got into work at 6:45 as I had a 7 am conference call, only to find out that the call was cancelled at 6:40. Grrrrr. Junior is going to camp today, this is his first time going to a structured setting since he moved in. Fingers crossed that we don't get a call after an hour that we need to go pick him up.
@aellasbeth - ekkk I'm so excited for you. Have fun. One of our friends is getting married on Saturday too. @uwhuskygirl - that darn ring. You know, you are gonna go through all the fricking paperwork and then two days later the ring is gonna show up, right?
I'm tired, and cranky. I'm helpful a girlfriend out with her wedding on Saturday and she is like the crazy control freak that won't tell anyone anything so people are like wtf is going on all day. Like I've been texting with the bridesmaids about what to wear to the rehearsal tonight. MOH was like we should wear dresses so her pics will look nice. I'm like "Who is taking pics?" It's like she hasn't thought about the details at all.
@uwhuskygirl - I'm so sorry about your ring, I would seriously be losing my shit with these people. Did you have it insured or anything? monsterz - Fingers crossed for a smooth day for junior today. @aellasbeth - Don't stress and enjoy the time (easier said than done, I know), and remember that small things will likely go wrong - you'll be the only one that knows about it, so don't worry. Also, things end up out of your control and you just can't do anything about it...take it in stride, I'm sure your day will be great regardless.
Morning! Things are good this morning so no complaints here! Just working today and then trying to decide a few things that I need to get this weekend - new purse, Lorac Mega pallet, etc.

@uwhuskygirl I am so sorry about your ring. The Norwegian and British shipping people are a bunch of rotten douchecanoes and I hope someone kicks them where the sun don't shine.
@aellasbeth Sending you all the non-stress vibes I can! Enjoy the end of your engagement!
Good morning! The bus guy didn't bunk it up today, so I made it to work on time. minion, I didn't make a complaint, because I think it was an honest mistake, but if he was a repeat offender I probably would.
I think I'm coming down with a cold. I'm going to try to live in denial and OD on Vitamin C. I'm about to start my vacation, and I don't want to miss any of the fun things I have planned!
I guess on the plus side they're refunding the duty charges now and we're fighting paying the shipping charges as well. #silverlining (I'm trying here!)
Monsterz in sending vibes for a great first day of camp with junior.
I'm technically on day 32 of the whole 30 but wanted to share my results here to encourage others to do it. It's great! I'm excited to keep it up throughout the holidays as much as possible to keep the weight off.
I put on a lot of weight after I had Blb. I think in the 9 months after I gave birth, i gained as much weight as I did when I was pregnant. Easter of 2013 I was 225 and could barely fit into my size 16 clothing. I started doing cross fit on my lunch breaks and following weight watchers and very slowly lost about 14 pounds between then and this summer. I started whole 30, 32 days ago and have lost over 12 pounds! And it was easy to stick to the plan! Lots of work in preparation and cooking but really there was no mental challenge for me. It's not like I ever even wanted to eat anything off plan. I'm below 200 pounds for the first time in 5 years and I even fit into some of my size large tops and 12 bottoms that haven't fit me since I moved here from Maryland. My hope is to settle in at 185 pounds which historically has been a perfect weight for me. I'm a size 10-12 at that weight and I felt good and I can maintain that with little effort. I just need to be really conscious of what I'm putting in my body during the holidays.
Also, I have basically not been exercising at all. I want to get back into my cross fit lunch workouts since they really transform my body.
@uwhuskygirl I am near crying fat hot tears for you. It's your wedding ring for gods sake. I hope it's tracked down soon.
Best of luck to monsterz jr at camp today!! Is he in school yet or not quite old enough?
@aellasbeth I know you hear it too much from us old people and probably will continue to do so, but my wish for you is that you're able to take deep breaths and truly enjoy this time. It's goigg to fly by and, no matter what, you'll be married before you can blink! Be sure to delegate Everything. Give your phone to someone if you need to and whatever ya do don't answer it. Focus on you and D. That's all that matters you're gonna be a gorgeous bride and I'll hop off my geriatric soapbox now.
Tiff can't wait to see what you buy this weekend. I swear you find the best makeup!
I'm doing a whole lot more of nothing today. The local anesthesia seems to have mostly worn off so my foot isn't totally numb any more, but so far so good for the pain meds. The only discomfort is laying down all the damn time. My h is being completely amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect- he is a sweetheart and always has the best of intentions but also has adult ADD and isn't always in tune with what needs to happen. He has blown me away. Totally attentive to everything. Watching the clock for my icing schedule, setting multiple middle of the night alarms for med doses, bringing me food, helping me get between couch/bed/bathroom and not holding it against me that he's probably totally bruised from my death grip on his hand getting my IV in. He is wfh today and I'm so grateful to have him home.
Enough sap for now. Hope everyone has a good thursday!
@legalbritt I am soooo happy for you!! My experience was very similar - the planning and prep was a lot of work, but otherwise it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. I think removing those inflammatory foods really helped my body to let go of the stubborn extra weight. I think it's great you're able to extend yours. Add in cross fit and you're gonna be the fittest mamma around! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your encouraging results!

Geriatric MY ASS!!! lol
I am actually surprisingly calm. I am not really worried about anything. I am sure that everything is taken care of. If things go wrong, they go wrong, I will still be married at the end of the day. I am excited to be on a plane to Vegas on Monday.
As soon as I have pictures I will definitely be sharing them with you guys!!

Uw- that sucks great big monkey balls about your ring.
Could use some vibes/t&PS .it doesn't need a separate thread but this quarter has been so freaking difficult. I am stressed to the max and am super worried about my midterm today. Please send me good grade vibes around noon!!!
ilovebed: that's awesome! I really like I'd & it was much easier than I thought. I haven't stuck to it as much as I should/could, but I'm still slowly losing weight.
Meeting my mom after work today w/ E for dinner & whatever. Need to finish a video for my dad & step-mom's surprise anniversary party Fri.

He started K this year and he requires a full day program which isn't common here. The local school has said that their program is full and they aren't sure if he can be accommodated. We have a meeting with the district on Tuesday to figure out where we can send him. They are on break this week so we have been trying to find ways to keep him occupied and out of trouble so he is in camp today and tomorrow. He now goes at least 2 more days before he can start school - arrrgh. Not a good first impression for our local school so far.
Oh and I forgot to mention that the schools budgets are set on October 1st based on the number of students enrolled at the time, so most schools don't want to add more students after this point as it negatively impacts their budget.
Sorry for the rant but this has me oh so frustrated.

Rant away! That does sound so frustrating and I'm sorry you are dealing with it. Sending lots of vibes that you are able to get him in very quickly and without it continuing to be a hassle.
I am taking a small break before H gets home and we have to go drop his new commuter off at the shop to get written off on our paper, so that we can then go back to emissions testing and get a waiver for the car not passing the emissions. Lame.
Went to a consignment sale this morning and to the store for the week. Came home and instead of doing a work out I mowed both yards for my cardio- should have just done my regular cardio instead.

Late check in for me. Super busy day getting ready for bkbs birthday tomorrow plus h is going out tonight so I'm on my own. Bkb woke up covered in pee, then barged up her breakfast in the car this morning. Fun times being a mom.
