I thought it was until the 16th- Thanks for the heads up.
I need to get on getting a dress for the Angel Bsll.
Has anyone gotten their's yet?

I've been looking but haven't bought anything yet. My mom is trying to get me to alter an old wedding dress that I had from the ex-marriage (I had 2 dresses - long story). But it's so *huge* and bulky and it will be July and I want to be able to move around and mingle and dance without a train. I'd hate to cut it up for the ball when my niece wants it to be married in someday. So I'll probably go to the sale but wow, bad timing when most of us are pinching pennies from recovering from Christmas! I might wait a while to shop - hoping to lose weight before July.

I'm waiting till the last minute to find my dress-hoping to loose a lot of weight after Makayla is born

Doubtful I go looking this month. I'm aiming to take off a few pounds first. I'll probably try to make a purchase in March. For now, I'm going through www.theknot.com and looking at all the dresses on there and saving the ones I like. So far I'm really liking Mon Cheri Destination dresses.

Admitting a goofy issue I have.....

I always wanted to wear a red dress to my senior prom. Long story to short - my mom found a blue one on sale and that's what I wore. For *years* I dreamt about trying to find a red dress for a dance. In these dreams I went through bridal shops, departments stores, flea markets, swam across ponds to get to stores..... yeah, I probably should have all that analyzed. LOL. So I finally went out and bought a red dress 7 or 8 years ago and the dreams stopped. Until I quit smoking and gained 30+ lbs and didn't fit into the dress that was in my closet and the dreams started again. Went out and bought another red dress (which I love and wore to a formal Christmas party this year).

Now guess what? Same dream, white dress. Almost every night this week. I'm going to have to go buy one fairly soon and get it so it can be altered if I lose weight. I can't take 7 months of a white dress nightmare!

Yes, I know I'm strange. LOL. Just thought I'd share this, not even sure why!

[Corin Nava]

lol, thats too funny. Dreams are so odd sometimes. I guess you really want the perfect dress

I am not trying to plug for any particular weight loss remidy BUT I wanted badly to lose weight after Shannon died so I could be healthy my next pregnancy. I went to Jenny Craig. Now, it is a little exspenive, but it's just my husband and I and we have the extra cash, anyway. . . it's about a hundred dollars a week (cost of food), 20 to join. I ate all Jenny meals the first two weeks and lost 12 pounds. I exercised everyday, I walked maybe about one or two miles. Here I am like 6 months later and I have lost 30 pounds. I only did Jenny for like two months and lost 20, but, I really know how to eat and watch what I eat. I really don't trust weight loss pills or anything, I watch what pills I put into my body since we don't know what happened to Shannon or the miscarriage, I get paranoid! Just some "food" for thought since we were talking about losing weight!

Kate- I completely agree with you on the diet pill stuff. I won't touch them, mainly thanks to my husband. Nate is a dietitian, and every time a new "miracle pill" or crazy new fad diet comes out, he looks into it and after telling me how they work and all the side effects, I'm not tempted anymore. It sucks, but the only healthy way to loose weight is the good old fashion balanced diet, portion control, and exercise. Thats what places like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers are all about. I did weight watchers a few years ago, and was really successful on it, its all about portions. I think thats probably what I will do again this time.
