Flame Free Friday

Yesterday I was so pumped to go to my turbo kickboxing class....only to find out that the regular instructor was out and a substitute was teaching.  I was so disappointed.  While the sub was motivating and funny, she was confusing, scatterbrained, and her CD kept skipping.  I probably burned half the calories I was expecting to burn.  I can't wait for the regular instructor to be back.

    We've only been married for 5 months now, but I'm already wanting a baby. Brad says not yet; he wants to wait 2 years. I'm really sad today about it for some reason.

    Everytime I've had coffee in the past three weeks or so, it's made me really sick to my stomach, and that upsets me.

    Seujoanne,
    Sometimes Diet Coke makes me the same way--especially early in the morning.  I think it's my stomach's way of saying "too much".  It's saying it today and I only have about half of a large or medium most days at this point.  I may just kick that habit all together.

    Ok, I have to say this--Marlene, listen to your husband.  I know it's hard to wait, but it's the right decision.  Give your marriage some time to gel and enjoy being newlyweds for awhile.  Having a baby in less than two years at your ages--well, let's just say I've been there and done that.  And I don't advise it.  :)

    I really want to change my avatar back.  In fact, I want everyone to.  I can't get used to it and it's driving me nuts.

    A girl that I'm kind of friends with asked me to be her bridesmaid at her October wedding. I didnt hesitate when I told her no. We're not that good of friends and the thought of having to deal with all the wedding stuff doesn't appeal to me, especially for this girl. She seemed kind of put off. Oh well.

    I agree with changing the avatars back! It was a weird day when they all changed. LOL

    emimayor:  Good for you for saying "NO".  I was a bridesmaid for a bride I wish I had said no to. I was not close to her, and when she got a new job we never talked again.  After purchasing the dress and everything, she decided I shouldnt be in the wedding.  I should have said no from the start.  PIMA!

    Stephanie, deep down, I agree with you and Brad. I just get that baby fever sometimes. I know it's best for us to wait. We need our time together as a newly married couple. There's so much we need to do before we had kiddos.

    Which, speaking of....

    I've narrowed it down to 2 schools in Austin that I like best, after reading their info they sent me. I'm liking Baldwin Beauty School and Avenue Five. In late July, I'm going out there to check out both schools and talk to salons to find out which school they think gives the best training. I can't wait!!!

    I just came across a case file at work and the girls name is just like mine; pronounced Emily, but the spelling is WAY different. They have decided to spell it

    M'ileigh

    Awesome.

    Seujoanne, you might want to try a darker roast and see if that helps.  That's what I was told anyways and it seemed to help.

    Speaking of too young...I think 18, almost 19 is too young to get married.  (since this is FFF)...but that's just MHO.

    I always like it when they also add, "but I'll be XX by the wedding."  If you're worried people will think you are too young to get married, then don't put your age in the post.  It's not necessary that we know how old you are.

    So I've saved this one for a while (so anyone who posted pics recently, don't worry it is not yours)..

    Ok so I'm far from an expert here, but I've been casually following a photographer that has been recommended in the past few months or so that I think does really solid work, but WAY over edits/photoshops for my taste.  It hurts my eyes sometimes.

    I want to email them and tell them to stop ruining their beautiful work! 

    Of course it is just my opinion.

    When I read "M'ileigh" I read it as "Miley"...Speaking of "Miley"...has anyone watched her new music video?  Isn't she 16?  I was pretty shocked at how provocatively she was dancing and the way she was dressed...though I do have to say, her makeup was incredible.  I just think she's too young for all that.  I understand she wants to get away from Hannah Montana but all the little girls who still identify her from Hannah Montana will watch that video and think that's ok.

    You can't say something like that and not tell us who you are talking about but I agree... I saw one photographer being recommended a lot when I first came on the board back in Feb and I noticed a lot people looked really red or orange tinted in the pictures and it was over edited.... I wonder if we are talking about the same person?

    I thought I was ready for marriage at 18. I was hell-a wrong! That really is way too young. I'm 22 and still told I'm too young to be married.

    But hey, to each, their own!

    SoonToBeMrsHoz - Nah, I can't say because it is my own taste and I would never want to potentially affect their business because of it.  I genuinely think their work is good, just the editing drives me nuts.

    Tiffany.. I know, I was mainly kidding, but it's interesting to know that someone else noticed the same thing that I saw but again we might be talking about different photographers.

    I'm starting to see dynamics among my friends where some friends that I considered close enough to be my BM don't feel they're that close to me, and vice versa.  (I'm a BM in a wedding for a friend that I wouldn't consider that close, but obviously she views me as a good friend since she only has a few BMs.  And on the other hand, someone whom I thought I was really close to didn't ask me to be a BM and she has like seven or eight.)

    For some reason the dynamics of friendships is at the forefront of my mind this week, and in some cases it's making me feel lousy.  I'm ready for a weekend where I can rest and go back to being normal (not overthinking everything).

    I think the BM situation is a little different with friendships.  Two of my bridesmaids are friends from high school that I don't necessarily talk to every day (ok we talk like once a month), but the fact that I graduated high school almost 10 years ago, and that we've kept up all these years, and that we still see each other when we go back to our hometown for the holidays, that moved them up the "BM ranking" above friends in Dallas who I am currently close to (but who knows if I will if we move/they move?) that I've met in the last 3 years or so.

    I've been married over a year, am almost 30, and 7 month pregnant. And this may sound heartless to many, but we should have not gotten pregnant so soon. I can honestly say all of our ducks are in a row too, but its still stressful on a new marriage. I can't wait for her to be born and I have complete confidence in myself and our situation, but I'm selfish and would have loved to have done more before we started a family. I"m grateful we have traveled the globe together already, but the stress of planning for a child and being pregnant is a lot to take. I couldn't imagine it if we werent financially sound and had our stuff together.

    With that being said, wait! :) I'll let you play with my baby.

    Emi,
    I very definitely see your point.  Bill and I haven't gotten to see all the things that we want to see together (Rome and the rest of Italy specifically).  I enjoy us being able to drop everything and just go do something.  However, I'm 35 and am already concerned that I may have missed my body's prime time due to family history issues.  I don't know how long we'll actually wait.  I also enjoy not having to set aside money for a college fund, braces, best kindergarten in the western hemisphere.  I feel bad for feeling selfish sometimes.

    Julie,

    I'm just saying out loud all the things youre not supposed to when you're already pregnant. I'm not going to sit here and tell everyone how excited I am because it isn't necessary. Althought, flame me if you want, I was super bummed to sell back our trip to South Africa for the World Cup this summer! We make travel a priority so its kind of tough pill to swallow when something you love to do is taken at a stand still.

    Call us crazy, though. We have already booked a Italy trip next March with a big group of friends/family. Our little one will be taking her first international trip! Luckily, the grandparents are going. :)
