My2... when is your wedding date again? I am sure you have said it a million times... I am not good with dates...

[sus 70]

My2, so sorry to hear about the people backing out, I can imagine that it hurts. But what is most important is that you are marrying the man that you love, and your day will be beautiful - it's there loss, not yours!

Hi All, Just checking in to say hello, nothing new to report on this front, hubby still job searching and me trying to be a good wife and not a "know it all"

JG, much love, been thinking about you lately. Hope all is well.

Hi Dillon, you and your family continue to be in my prayers. Stay Strong!

Sus, How's school going?

Ells, How's the hubby?

Finesse, Hang in there and I am proud of you and anyone who has multiple births. Lawd knows I will be clowning if it were me.

Dada, I hope you are behaving yourself!

My best wishes to everyone else....I'll go back and catch up sometime soon.

Peace, out.

Hi SG. All is good.

You need to stop in more often. Miss you!

The baby? It's usually pink or gold. Whoever gets the baby is supposed to bring the king cake the next time.

The ones I brought to work had strawberry & pineapple filling, but the most delicious king cake I ever had had praline filling. Cream cheese ones are also popular.

ROFL @ crabs.

Love the cream cheese ones. You should see them here at work....tightwads.....they will cut these teeny tiny little pieces, so they don't get the baby, and then fill their plates with the little pieces. It's so stupid.

I am having a hard time believing so many people don't know the Mardi Gras traditions. St. Louis is HUGE into Mardi Gras. They say we are like the 3rd largest Mardi Gras celebration behind Rio & New Orleans. We start next weekend with the Barkus Dog Parade. The 13th is the Big Mardi Gras Parade with all it's drunkeness and a whold section of the city shut down to party. I'm bummed cause after planning this big day on the 13th, found out yesterday my fun isn't going to start till after like 5 pm. Everyone is so drunk by then, it's really no fun for those of us starting out. Learned this the hard way last year.

we tried to find a rental place they want 17 dollars a tablecloth

Have you thought of just going to a fabric store and pricing some pretty patterened fabric?

My2... How many tables? Can you go to a fabric store and buy inexpensive cotton or something by the yard? Or.... my mom gets fabric from Goodwill sometimes to do her projects.

Check Craigslist under arts-crafts or materials... I once hit the motherload and found a stage company getting rid of all their old fabrics.... Tierra has gibs of fabric to do her projects...

Ha ha.....peas in a pod, Irie. Didn't see your reply when I said the same thing.

Stop talking Ells...this will only take one maybe two times TOPS. Open a new tampon...wet it with water...leave it in the middle of the bathroom floor...and when he discovers it...say "Oooh is that where I left it? What the heck...we are leaving stuff all over the place anyway." Shrug your shoulders indifferently, and walk out of the room. Let him figure out what to do with it.

The next step (if you can manage without laughing your butt off)...place wrapped tampons all around the house in odd places...under his pillow...in the kitchen cabinets/drawers...next to the tv remote...wherever you can stick one. When he starts bumboclaating and rassclaat...this and that. Calmly say..."I see you agree that there is a place for everything...yep everything has it's place honey."

I accept Paypal for payment of my services rendered. Thanks.

Damn, that is so evil. God, I love you Jawi!

You should set the ringback tone for her number to "I Got Your man..."

Hey sis...you know I'm the original VJ nut. I laughed just typing it and picturing Ells doing it with nuff attitude. So, Nat no update yet? Why does this keep happening?

We had to order BC too because A lost his...he had our daughters' but not his own. We paid for expedite and sent the AOS package off without it. They came in 3 days...we just included one with the RFE for the I-693 because they never sent an RFE for the missing BC.

A's youngest daughter is scheduled for heart surgery on March 15th with Doctors Without Borders. Her status must have gotten progressively worse because there is an extreme waiting list in Jamaica...and she didn't even qualify for the list last year. The doctors with the organization only visit once a year to perform heart surgeries for free or minimal cost. I have to try and find a way out of no where to get us down by then...it is a blessing from God that we got approved for AP soon quickly. So, at least that is not an obstacle.

We are in this wait again together...let's keep each other encouraged.

Hugs and Prayers, Jawi.

Morning *JG*...I don't know what it is but that little baby does scare me a little bit.

Sorry your fun doesn't start until late...I'm sure you will make the most of it!

Whoever got the baby yesterday just left it in the box. I was like, dang, the cake was only $4.95. They don't even charge tax on it.

QUESTION: If someone (new friend) invited you somewhere, but you couldn't afford it, what would you tell them?

Exactly that - "I would love to go but right now it's just not possible"

[DedicatedWife 4]

Ditto what Sus said!

They really could've picked a cuter baby to put in there....a Kwepie doll or something.

[*JG* 2]

Yeah, I agree with Sus. Was just invited to Vegas in May over Christmas and have said the same thing. I would love to go, have to see if I can afford it.

[DedicatedWife 4]

Y'all I have a million things to get completed today and I'm so not in the mood to get it done! Ughhhhh....

[*JG* 2]

I'm with you, Dens. I'm wishing this day away.

[TAMH 2]

Morning yardies!!! Hope everyone have a great day.

Dens: 5 more days and your man will be home
