Too early for an evening thread?

I'm looking forward to the Sleep Number bed!  Haha.  Angel, was it you asking about the sobakawa pillow too?  So far I really like it.  Better than the cloud one, for sure.

That's true, Mica, but I know it gets old for you guys!  Thanks for humoring me, ladies.  You're all awesome

pokepoke27

J - it sounds like today was better than yesterday!! You must be so super excited - it's great to hear about it : 3

Angel - Yes it's kind of like b-pics. It's all retro and cool though, it was awesome.  http://www.pinupgirlcos.com/  <--- if you want to see some samples. 

J&K10910

Haha, my H is upstairs singing while he packs.  I'm dancing while I pack, so I guess together we're probably a pretty comical show.  Especially since he's singing country and I'm dancing to Pitbull and Ying Yang Twins, et al.  Ha!

J&K10910

That is really cool, Poke!  I always wanted to do b-pics.

pokepoke27

J - I'm picturing it right now and laughing so hard. And you should totally look into it. But make sure that you find someone really good - the ladies I was with were so friendly and made me feel so relaxed. 

mica178

I love that you are doing pin-up b-pics, poke2.

J -- I have a funny image of you and your H packing right now.  You make quite the pair.

Yes, it was me who asked about the pillow. How exactly does it help TMJ? I haven't decided if I want to do bpics. Price is an issue, plus I'm not quite as toned as I'd like to be for something like that.

pokepoke27

Well they're like b-pics but I'm totally covered up in 90% of the poses. I will probably AW one or two of them when I get them - the appropriate ones obviously ; )

Thanks, Poke!! FI and I are fighting, ugh. I was in a mood and I came in being a cvnt and I wish I hadn't bc I likely ruined the night.

J&K10910

Angel, I'm not sure if it just helps support my head and jaw properly so that my jaw can be relaxed and I don't grind, but I definitely noticed waking up with fewer headaches and sore/stiff jaws.  I also noticed less sore tongue (my tongue always manages to get caught when I'm grinding, so I wake up with the sides of my tongue raw) and teeth.  So I have no idea how it helped, but it helped! 

I was at my parents house for a weekend and I forgot my pillow and used their regular pillows, which I used to LOVE, but I woke up with a stiff jaw and a tension headache every morning.

We just found out that rent is going up 200 if we renew in July. FI who is currently snoring next to me. Looks at me and says "okay, let's just buy a house". Is it weird that it made my heart all fluttery for him to say that? In a good way.

Ugh, I hate that.  Can you take a little while to yourself to relax and then apologize for being a butthead?

pokepoke27

I think if you just take a deep breath and apologize for being pissy he'll get over it. That's how my FI is anyways. I'm sorry you're fighting though - are you over at his place?

Dude, that's a huge jump, unless your rent is like $2k a month or something.  But still.  I'd try to negotiate it, unless you guys are definitely ready to buy!

Angel - I wasn't in great shape, kinda flabby in spots, but a good photographer knows what poses will stretch what needs stretched etc to make you look your best.  My photographer was awesome!  I got together with 4 other girls on my local board and we booked a marathon session with the same photographer, so she did 5 sessions back to back to back that day with maybe 30 minutes in between each of us to reset the room.  It saved us all I think $50 on the sitting fee.

So, technically, they're only raising it 100 but we lose the deal. I don't think we'd be able to find a house or even decide what part of town to look in in the next month, which is all we have. When he said that though, it made the relationship feel so much more real than the engagement crazy. Okay, that sounds wrong so I hope y'all get what I mean.

You know what goes well with packing and dancing?  Wine.  Yes it does.  Wine makes everything better.

Loopyseven

Wine, packing and dancing sounds awesome.  Or wine, unpacking, and dancing when the time comes .

Sleepy - that's nice that your FI is ready to buy.  Realistically, even if you found something tomorrow it would take at least 30 days to close.  Would your complex let you go month to month so you could start looking but not sign yourselves up to a full 12 months at $200 more than you're used to?  What would buying a house do to wedding planning/paying for?  Downpayments are expensive and as much as houses can be "turnkey" ready to move in, there's ALWAYS something that you want - curtains, different/more furniture, drawer dividers/liners for cabinets, extra trash cans, etc... it adds up.  

angelstar975

I did apologize but I think the fact that he hasn't slept in 48 hours isn't helping him feel very forgiving. Yeah, I'm at his place. I'll probably go home to be drunk by myself soon, lol. I think I will look into bpics in the fall. It's good to know they airbrush and use flattering positions.

chelseamb11

Wine does make everything better! I agree.
Holyshit I think I finally put the songs together properly for our dance off. Heck yes! That only took a couple hours....
(We're having a dance off, boys WP vs girls WP, at the reception, each side gets a song.. or in my case, a buch of 20 second snippets put together into a song)

pokepoke27

J - all i've got is tea. I am jealous now. 

pokepoke27

Haha chelsae - that sounds so entertaining!!

Angel - it sounds like it's not just you. Finals are almost over right?

Sorry my posts look weird on my phone. Loopy: they probably would let us. The only thing it might affect would be the honeymoon. My insanely generous parents are paying 90 of the wedding. And I'd gladly give up a honeymoon for a house. It's just that Houston is so big I don't even know where to look. Have to take school districts into account and we work on opposite sides of the city. So now I just feel overwhelmed.

I think house trumps honeymoon ;

Poke, he's done finals and law school! on the 8th. Then there's the bar exam, lol. So it's going to be tense like this through July.

J&K10910

Haha, I just found a 23 page paper from grad school...and promptly sat down on my closet floor and read it.  Nerd.

Sleepy, it sounds like it might be more stressful to buy now.  Could you do a 6 month lease, maybe? 

pokepoke27

J - I have done that many times haha. It's amusing to read old stuff. 

Angel - Well, not too much longer and then you'll be marrying a lawyer! So are things any better yet or is he still being cranky?

He's being cranky and miserable. I'd kind of like to go home but I'm not in a position to drive right now.

J&K10910

Poke, it IS amusing.  Especially since I got a really good grade on it, and as I was reading through it I was like "Ugh, this is terrible, wtf??"

Yay for law school almost being done!  Hopefully the next couple months fly.

pokepoke27

I'm sorry Angel - men can be so dumb. It sucks you're stuck there for a while, but maybe you can take a relaxing bath or something. It's what I would do - ha.

J - if AP Lit in high school taught me anything it's how to turn 3 pages of information into a 12 page paper. Yay BS skills.
