I ordered through Sams Marketplace over the holidays only because they had free shipping. I was extremely unsatisfied. We ordered Christmas cake some seasonings and a christmas CD at the beginning of Dec. It didn't arrive until the 22nd when they told me it would get there on the 10th. Then to make things even worse the CD wasn't there. We finally got the CD in the middle of January- who needs a Christmas CD in January!?!?! Our account was never updated online and I never got email responses. I finally had to call ( in my best JA accent :P ) and let them know I was furious...nothing came from it though.

I am outta here ladies...have a great weekend :dance:

It is sooooo dead in here. It's quite sad actually :(

1.5 more hours til I go home for the weekend.

Anyone with weekend plans?

Preparing for a blizzard :angry: Fortunately it's scheduled to come in over the weekend and not during rush hour or work hours.

Best wishes to all with upcoming weddings next week; we know that planning a wedding in 90 days is hectic to say the least. (L)(L)

Can't wait to see pictures of all of the "puppies". I'm hoping that my next move will allow me to get a puppy. I had a Rottie who's gone now and I still miss the big baby.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Hello everyone. We are also preparing for a snow storm.

Mindy and Jamie, what did you order from Sams Markplace? I want to compare prices at our local Caribbean store.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Mindy~

We will have the comcast bill (cable and Internet) in both names. I am gonna try to get the house phone back on in his name. Not sure about any of the other bills. I added him to my savings account at the credit union....did anyone else's fiance have to fill out a W-8 to add them to an account...something about because he didnt have a greencard??

I went to pay some money at Davids Bridal for my layaway (dress and shoes) I ended up buying more stuff and putting nothing more down on my dress. I got a veil, tiara, gloves, and a bra for $177!! I have a strapless bra but when I originally tried on the dress I was wearing one of their EXPENSIVE bras so I figured I better go with what I know works with the dress. I am looking for a salon that does extensions around here. I want my hair to look nice :)

I guess that is all for now...hope everyone has a great weekend!! Shemanya I miss talking to you and I will hopefully have a house phone soon....try to stay out of that snow!

Blessings,

Rita

Good morning everybody :luv:

Rita, it looks like I just missed you. I don't think anyone else is awake this early on a Saturday! I'm at work or else I'd still be home asleep in my nice warm bed :yes: I didn't really want to work today but my boss told me to come in and I really need the money. We're leaving for Punta Cana in 17 days and even though it's All-Inclusive, we need spending money for shopping and water sports and such. Only non-motorized water sports are included.

I hope some of you will be on here today. I'm bored and lonely already :crying:

Hey Rita, I know what you mean about the "special" bra from David's Bridal :yes: I bought my dress there too and tried it on with a regular bra when I got home and it was not gonna work! Their bras are great (if you got the same one I did) they come all the way down to your belly button and keep everything nice and sucked in so you look smooth in your dress :lol: Tony called it my girdle :lol: Refresh my memory, when are you guys getting married? You're coming up on your 90 day deadline arent' you? :o

Also, I didn't even put Tony on any of my bills. I just added him to my checking & savings account and my health insurance coverage at work. I think I also printed a paper showing him as my emergency contact for work. They didn't give us any problem. Oh, and I had our vacation itinerary for our future trip to Florida that we had booked showing us both traveling together.

Hi Ladies,

Congrats to the wedding dates coming up in the next couple of wks. Please post pics soon. It's snowing here too in Chicago but I'm glad I'm in the house.

Well, as for me I took out all 4 of my wisdom teeth yesterday so i've been laying up doing nothing but absorbing the pain. I'm the biggest baby when it comes to the pain, I swear at times I surprise myself esp when I had my daughter. I'm in so much pain it ain't even funny I've been crying all freaking day :crying: My daughter has been real helpful, she made breakfast (scrabble eggs & french toast sticks) for her and my cousin she's 7. Yes I'm sick and I'm still stuck w/other ppl kids. :angry: My daughter got up and cleaned my face plus fed me a yogurt. I just took some Vidakin (sp?) so I know I'm going to be on cloud 9 in a few. :thumbs:

I'll be checking in throughtout the weekend since I'm home until Tuesday. I hope everyone else enjoy the weekend and dress warm.
