Evening

That's a cute dress Angel. Purple is our main color but it's a darker purple than that. I like the African Violet color.

[QUOTE]I'm glad I'm not alone J. Sometimes I will just be standing still and then start to tip over. Not good balance over here. I stand and lean in doorways a lot at work. Somehow I never manage to clean the door frame when I turn to leave. I am fairly pale and so my bruises are usually noticeable.

I do too! (tip over for no reason)  But, I have really good balance when I try, which I don't get.  But my lack of grace explains why I hated ballet and loved hip hop ;) 

Angel, I love that dress.  Unfortunately, something like that looks awful on me, so I have to admire them from afar.

Two of my BM's wore dresses the color of Petal's sig dress, and the other two wore really light purple. I love purple.

Have you a picture?  I love different colored dresses, but I'm 100% biased.

Erin - my dog tried to eat the pump that came with my air mattress.  She got two small pieces of plastic off of it before I realized what she was up to.

Guys, my H is going to be home in like 15 minutes, and I'm debating making him assemble my massage chair before I let him eat.  Am I awful or what?

I bruise like a damn peach and i'm clumsy. 

I probably should have considered that before getting a short wedding gown.

Oh well.

But I have awesome balance.

My dog keeps eating chicken bones... it's to the point where we can't buy bone-in chicken anymore because some moron doesn't dispose of them properly and they end up in Max's stomach, which is really bad for him.

Make him assemble for his supper!

Front like dinner isn't quite done and could he please do this while you finish it up?

Did you cook him dinner? If so, then that's a perfectly fair trade off.

July - I am not as good as you and would have opened the gift. You can tape it back up so your FI can open it later and feel surprised too.

J - I also have good balance if I'm focused. So weird.

I hated purple & pink after the age of 8 growing up. In college I started loving pink and it is in my recent years I have really begun to embrace purple. I have wanted purple BM dresses for years now.

how is it already after 8pm?!?!?!

I didn't make dinner, but I did pick it up and pay for it.  That counts, right? 

Erin, I love them!  People thought I was nuts with my dresses when I would tell them, but I loooove the way they turned out, and I got so many compliments on it.

PetalPockets2012

That looks good Erin. It's a cute pic.

ETA: J - I remember seeing the different colors in one of your sig pics. I think it looks good. I just am not creative or enough of a visionary to pull it off.

I started to cut one side of the tape and then stopped myself :)

Oh, J&K! I freaking love those dresses. That's a great color combination. My sister (and MOH) was really upset that I wasn't having all the girls wear the same color and style of dresses. Whatever, she dealt and looked cute.

angelstar975

J, yes that definitely counts.

Erin, I love those dresses and you looked beautiful! I really love your bouquet.

I was really set on doing a brooch bouquet but lately I'm kind of considering fresh flowers.

J&K10910

I had a moment of panic about a week befor ethe wedding that they were going to look awful (I hadn't yet seen them all together) and everyone was going to think I was crazy and Crayola threw up on my wedding.  Like, I seriously actually cried about it.  Ha, I feel dumb admitting that.

<div>You are only awful if you then sit in the massage chair while he makes his own dinner.</div>

My MOH kept trying to convince me that I would hate having non matching dresses. We are having same color, material and length but they can pick. She kept trying to push me to make everyone match (I'm sure since she had us all match at her wedding) and I had to just say this is how it is.

[QUOTE]Do you like historical fiction.  Have you read Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett?  I LOVED it.  it was my favorite book I read in 2011.  It's super long but SO good.  It took me about 100 pages to get into it cause there's a lot of character introduction in the beginning but then I didn't want to put it down.  There's also a sequel to it called World Without End that is set in the same location but 200 years later and has descendants of some of the original characters in it that is pretty good too.

That sounds like a really good book! Thanks :)

Angel that dress is really pretty! Thats actually the colour I think im going to get my girls to wear as well.

Who is it that has the gorgeous broach boquet in their sig right now?

J&K10910

Ohemgee, Dileni, your dog has gigantic ears.  I love them.

musicalsunlight

Erin you are so ridiculously gorgeous, you just glow. 

My brother just had a flat out fit. It was kind of amusing, actually. My mom and I wanted to watch American Idol, and apparently this just was not ok. Because my brothers normally have 100% control over the main tv in the house, so almost every night is some form of sports game or TBBT reruns. Which, while I hate TBBT, I don't mind twins games of course. But for whatever reason, the fact that he has to miss ONE twins game is the end of the world. My mom told him to stop being a jerk and go watch it in her room if he wants to so badly. 

He is such a drama queen, he started stomping around and banging things. lol. My mom never gets to watch the tv she likes on HER tv (since i mean she did buy it), in all the 50 inch glory, so I am glad she stood her ground.

I love Dileni's puppy. 

J&K10910

Good for your mom, MuSu.  How old is your brother?

Winnertag1

haha thank you! See is adorable.

I have 2! 

559167_10150935754299465_506559464_13047796_715527941_n.jpg should show them both the love haha

Haha sounds like my sister, although WAY less extreme since there's no punching or threatening or screaming at the top of his lungs in the story.
