gbissi — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:02:39 +0000

I am looking to get a spray tan for my wedding because I don't tan really well and I don't want to use a tanning bed. I don't want to use a machine because it doesnt spray even and I ened up with really organge spots on several places on my body. I am wonding if anyone knows of a person or company who does the tan by hand (airbrush). I can go to them or they can come to me but I live just south of Dayton. The only company I know about is Nice-Tan.

NWR: Education Job? Slight vent;)

utegoggles — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:26:23 +0000

I'm a nanny, I have been for 4 years. I've been with one of the families for the last year and a half. They are extremely wealthy, have four kids. I do all the laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking, and watching the children when I'm there. Yesterday I was there cutting food before the mom and kids got there and the dad called, I answered because I saw it was him. He said, "do you have permission to answer the phone? (laugh)" I was livid. He's always been nice to me, I'm thinking he was drinking - but I'm still pissed.

I'm working on my degree in early childhood education at UC, but I'm SICK of being their nanny/housekeeper/MOTHER and I'm looking to quit in Novemeber. Does anyone have any suggestions of pre-schools in Cincinnati that you know is hiring?

PSA: Bridal and Formal in Reading.

utegoggles — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:55:04 +0000

*Begin Bridezilla Rant*

I went with my MOH to pick them out, found them on the first trip. She ordered hers and the rest within days. No big deal, B&F were a lot of help.

Then I went to pick them up, they were beautiful. I dropped them off to the BM.

THEN I get a call from my MOH. She said the dress was huge and she could fit both fists in the breast area and it was still loose.

Second BM calls with the same problem.

Third calls (whom we found out she was pregnant a few weeks ago). Hers fits, but HUGE in the boobs as well. AND the sash is falling off.

Fourth calls (daughter of the third, she's 8) and hers is too long and the straps are way too long and guess what, big in the chest. Eight year olds don't freaking have boos..

I'm calling bridal and formal tomorrow morning and then calling the manufacturer (Forever Yours) to see if anything can be done. I expected some will need alterations, but all of them? They measured them in the store, shouldn't they have made it according to their measurements?

*End Bridezilla Rant*

Anyone of you ladies had issues with them?

And to top it off my boss could care less about my wedding and now she is making me go on a business trip two weeks before....and she asked if I would go on another trip a week before that and I had to say no...she was like "oh yeah I forgot...the wedding"
I'm sorry I've just never really vented to anyone...thanks for listening!!

River City Grille in Mason?

aor9487 — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:12:20 +0000

I'm helping FMIL look for places to have a family dinner before the wedding. We don't really have the need for a rehersal so it's going to just be a "family dinner". Most of our OOT guests will be staying at the Marriott in Mason, and for logistic purposes, we've looked at having dinner at the River City Grille attached to the hotel. Has anyone eaten there? What was the cost range? I pulled up their menu online, but there aren't any prices listed.

Thanks in advance!

Attn: Rustic Chic Brides: ITEMS FOR SALE

KJ42008 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:35:57 +0000

I got married September 12, 2009 and had a very rustic chic wedding that took place in a barn. Many of my items would be great for all you fall brides or anyone going for a rustic theme. I still have many of my decorations and need to get rid of them.

I am selling:

1. 18 pieces of burlap that were used to go over my tables. I had Ivory linens and used burlap to go over. Each corner went right to the end of the table and slightly over.

2. 6 Apothocary Jars. I have two different styles, three of each. I used on half of my tables apothecary jars and on the other half silk plants.

Apothocary Jars measure about 17inches in height. (picture shows them with the filling I used) I used pears, twigs, stones, peacock feathers, and moss to fill the inside of the Apothocary Jars.

3. I have the filling available for sale

4. I have 6 silk plants available for sale as well

5. I have 6 yellow 16inch paper lanterns (not used) available

6. I have 30 battery operated tea lights. They were only used for about 8 hours so they have plenty of life to them. (I believe they had around 60 hours of life)

7. I also have 20 4/6 picture frames that were stained and used as table numbers.

Here is a link that will take you to the pictures. If you have any question please email me at k m s 157 at hotmail dot com

http://www.flickr.com/photos/30470453@N08/?savedsettings=4122471949#photo4122471949

Also, I realize I left out some measurements. I didn’t have some of the Information on hand but if you interested, write me and I’ll let you know all the details.

Dress advice

alyss21mom — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 03:32:33 +0000

Hi Ladies
I will be attending a wedding in Dayton in mid October. The wedding is late afternoon. I'm from South Florida and it's still summer weather here and will be until mid December. I'm wondering about what to wear. I was just at a wedding here last week and most of the dresses were sleeveless, or cap sleeves. Most women wore cocktail dresses. I was surprised at the number of LBDs I saw. Anway, is it likely to be cold in October? Do people just wear sleeveless and cover up with a coat? I really have no idea of what to expect. Any help would be appreciated.
