What migraine meds are you taking?  I get them regularly and my neuro put me on Topamax and Verapamil. They both work well.  I am very sensitive to meds and I have never had a problem with these two. I take Maxxalt as needed.

Rant: I don't really have one!

Rave: It's Friday, We are ordering our inserts for our invites from Costco today (we're getting them printed on photo paper), I'm off work in 3ish hours! I just found out I'll have from April 2nd until April 11th off!!!!!! It's very bitter sweet though (Not paid time off but a good chunck of time to do wedding stuff!) Last rave...I learned the art of coupon-ing last night and I can't wait to start!

sarack

Rant: My back is killing me! I'm feeling overwhelmed by stuff and frustrated at the same time.. I'm trying to be less stressed and breathe but things are just getting to me lately.

Rave: Paperzone is having a sale so I can buy the paper products I need for my wedding and not feel like I'm spending too much because I'm not getting it from online. This means I can start my invites this weekend! CRAZY! that means this wedding is really happening!

Archel

Rant: I'm having such a hard time sleeping lately. And thus, sleeping in (while the alarm is going off) for 20-30 mins every morning.

Rave:  This week passed by quickly! I'm excited to go to that wedding show this weekend and hopefully get some checks done!

Surprisingly, there's nothing to rant about today, but tons of raves.

Raves: After everyone's advice regarding registries and how people will get us stuff regardless of whether we have one or not.... We're going to try to put together a registry at C&B this weekend. Try being the big key word! I figure with one of those scanner guns and cocktails or mocktails and food it might be a lot easier to get over inhibitions to just add things.

We're also going to go try cakes at Creme de la Creme. Mmm, cake.

We might also go get our rings ordered this weekend, since our legal ceremony is coming up in June (pending visa).

Our wedding planner did awesome things this week which means FI and I have a lot to discuss about what direction we want our wedding to go in. After all that freaking out, I am so glad we hired her.

I was going to buy this dress for a friend's wedding and thought they had my size but realized they really don't, not anymore. Not since I've lost so much weight lately, which made me want to cry of happiness. It's too bad they don't have my size, but it's good that they didn't? Heehee.

I booked a ticket to go to New York for 5 bucks (frequent flier miles for the win!), to meet my sister (maid of honor) and my mom for a fantastic weekend of dress shopping, shoe shopping, and just general New York fun and food. It'll be the first time my family's seen me since I've started losing weight and the first time anyone in my family will see me in a wedding dress.

I don't know about you guys, but I love Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives on FoodTV. So the FI and I went to Bizarro Italian last night (which was featured on the show a long time ago), and the food was fantastic. So happy. I love good food.

Best of all, the FI is here visiting for the weekend and hopefully our visa interview gets scheduled soon so he can move down and we can, at least, get legally married. ^^

Rant: I have been feeling SOO stressed as the wedding is only 2 months away and I feel like I have so much to do but don't really want to do it... I'm just sort of over it... eeek is that bad?

Rave: We are going out to my parents this weekend, I am going to DIY the hoodies, we are going shopping for my Dad's suit and I have my hair trial!

I just got prescribed Topamax and it has been a lifesaver.  I was on axert for years - it just had stopped working.  Good luck!  Migraines have to be one of the worst curses ever!!!

Rave - I'm finally almost done with my program.  Or - the rough draft of my program.  This has taken me forever and I'm hoping to get it done this weekend.  We also finally chose a rehearsal dinner venue.  Checks make me so happy!

Rant - the Husky game last night was pretty sad.  Also, payday for me is on the 31st.....and i would like some money now to get some more stuff done this weekend!!

jennuinne

Dreawinds:  We love that show too and have gone to some places on the show.  Yum.  There's place in the U-District, Pam's I think, that is carribean food.  Yum.

Rave: Its my birthday tomorrow!! WOOT WOOT!!   Also looking at houses tonight!!
Oh yea...and the huskies lost!!  

Rant: traffic was so bad last night that i didnt get home unitl 6:30, when I left before 5 and it usually takes me 20 mins to get home!! UGH!!

BrandyL10

Rant: Really wish I had some extra cash flowing in, but I'm not a kid fan and I don't care to mow lawns, so I guess I'm just shiit out of luck... :P
Feeling overwhelmed, not just wedding things, but have some sort of appt. every freakin day and I haven't had a chance to sleep in for two weeks. I am not a big sleep in person, but when I have to wake up against my will, I'm not happy.

Rave: Gma's birthday tomorrow, so I get to see my family. I always have fun with them! FI and I are going to his Dad's for a delicious dinner they are both preparing that they learned in a cooking class together. Woo hoo!
And it's the weekend, which I am very happy about in general.

I hope all you ladies have a great weekend! Try not to stress, any of you!

RAVE: The weekend is finally here and we are going to the westside for e-pics (pray for good weather), meet with our pastor, to check out the rehearsal dinner place, find a veil and jewerly for me, check out the venue with FI's parents, see my BM new house, and maybe check out the area we will be moving to when FI hears back about his job! So many good things, just looks like a busy weekend,

Rant: I guess that FI is not off work yet and we have to drive over 6 hours and we are still waiting to hear back from a job interview (even though they told us it would be a week or so. it's so hard to wait when your whole future depends on it. Deciding which job, area, rent or buy, my job, ect. -So much. Not that bad I guess..

Another rave...

I left work early today to spend time with FI, so we went to finally get me a new pair of pants to tide me over until I stop losing weight. I am down one more size than I thought I was. ^^ It's always a really great feeling.

Kahalagurl

Rave: Got to walk two hours while watching the baby, yey for working out and and making moolah at the same time. Excited to dogsit for a friend starting Sunday, my puppy will get a playmate for a week.

Rant: Haven't spent much time with FI this week since sis is in town and starting work.  Oh and he just vetoed my idea for 1st dance song (Have u ever really loved a woman) He totally has legitimate points, but i think it sounds beautiful on guitar which is what we are having at the wedding.

My rant/rave this week is more like sad/rave.

The sad:  Last Friday, a small plane crashed near Milton.  The pilot died.  The lone passenger had massive injuries & was taken to Harborview.  The passenger was my roommate that I lived with before FI & I moved in together.  She and I had a falling out a couple years ago, but nevertheless, I feel terrible that this happened to her!  I can't stop thinking about it.

The rave:  She's alive.  She's been transferred out of the ICU, and is on the road to recovery.  It will be a long one, but based on her interview on the news, it seems she has a real fighting spirit.  I am sending all of my good thoughts her way & hope that she recovers as fast as someone can who has just lived through a plane crash.

Rant: the day is almost over, boo

Rave: Got a lot accomplished today! Get to have sushi with my MOH tomorrow. I haven't seen her since the wedding. So excited.

tvgal1971

Rant:  I am chilled to the bone and annoyed with FI because he is super picky about how we decorate the house.  He thinks he's making suggestions, but is often criticizing my choices.

Rave:  I took today off, got a mani/pedi and had a great e-pic session at Pike Place Market and Post Alley!  I can't wait to see them!
