The voice sounded familiar
I als think that major in the town is gonna team up with Hawkins and others. I think he realizes hes being used. I hate that Ravenclaw guy.

Reavenwood guy...very bad... did you see in season one where he and his guys took out an entire town?
I am playing with the possibilty that ravenwood might be responsible for the virus.. or at least spreading it. Only thier vaccine is legal
Sounds like they are deciding which towns live and which die.

The mysterious caller is either someone we haven't met or the major. I think the major left that code for Hawkins to find... I think the major knows more than he is telling and may be inbedded undercover himself. One thing I do know... he knows more than he is letting on.

I love Jake! I love how intense he is and how much he has grown as a character in the show!!!!

What did next weeks preview say? I missed it because my news cut in and I didn't get to see what will happen next week

With the BM... I re'd to you but it might have gotten lost. I am pale as a ghost so my shade is pretty easy to find
with the starter kit, it comes with 2 similar shades... some people mix them to get the color they want. Luckily I didn't have to as fairly light works good for me.

I don't actually like the new ones for this year either. I had a great strapless one with underwire from Land's End, but it is all worn out from 4 years of wear. I was disappointed they are all starting to look too "Mom" for me. (Not that that is a bad thing, just not for me.)

Ooo, I like that VS one. I have a small lower body, so that may work for me. I am going to go to Macy's next week because I need to find one soon so I can bring it to San Antonio next month. I will let you know that they have.

Have a great day, ladies. I better get up and take DD to school! Oh, and maybe give her some breakfast. She is wearing a dancing costume right now, hot pink and black with silver sequins and I don't think that will pass for her uniform.

Let me know what Macy's has, it might be worth it to take a look. My in laws live at Pelican Point (gonzalas) so MIL and I usually hit the mall in Baton Rouge when I visit.

Your DD is in private school to? Mine are in Private school and I love the uniforms!!!! So easy to pick from each day. Maybe that is why you and I are always looking for cute outfits for our DD's. We are always seeing them in school uniforms and its nice to see them in something else... that and we don't have to buy a ton of clothes ...just a ton of uniforms

I used to work at Macy's in the swimsuit department . For tummy issues, a little bit of rouching (sp?) pulled toward the hip or one side of the waist on the suit can really do wonders. The pic from Victoria's secret looks like that has some rouching pulled to the side. That type of suit made a lot of ladies look much thinner in the tummy department.

Triplefigs, such good news about your son!

Good morning girls! Jojo just got on the bus.

I just bought myself - after too much pain this time around - a Lands End suit....I kind of liked it and it was comfy enough that I just ordered it in another color, too.....It is very momlike though. I HATE my spring break body...so pale and icky so I definitely wanted something to cover as much as possible. It has a halter top and then a skirted bottom. It is cute though in turquoise and then in pink so it's not dreary at least. I know what you mean about this years LE styles...I have a stash of suits I ordered/tried on and need to send back because they are AWFUL....one said it gave good support but it was an underwire SHELF bra!!! Total uni**** look haha.....nasty.

I have 38DD too ...Eddie Bauer has some cute suits this year that offer more support. I ordered one, but I don't like the way the bottoms fit me so it's going back....you can order diff sizes top/bottom - but I am 6 ft tall so that is another issue.

Denise, I am so happy about Rees. Wow 46 lbs.....Jojo is 72 and she is NOT fat just very solid and miss athlete. I can't imagine her 25 lbs less. I hope the good continues. And what is this about RESCHEDULING your trip? I thought you were a go for April?!

GrannieMinnie - I think you sound like me about the make up. If it will work a miracle in 5 minutes I am all for it, but otherwise I don't know. I am the Target makeup girl.

 

[Lives4Disney]

what do you guys think of this for my Hannah Montana fan?

She would wear it with her jean jacket and leggins. I think Jo would like it because she still likes skirts and she is sassy.

 

[praline3001]

see that patch skirt is really cute!!! Good use of color and a nice mixture ...not well... we wont go there as I dont want to get into trouble

Very cute!!!! Leggings would be adorable with it so she wont have to worry about getting in and out of rides... modesty and all that

I for one think she will be adorable in this little outfit!!!!

Now all she needs is the blond wig

 

[Lives4Disney]

oopssssss

 

[Lives4Disney]

Nix on the blond wig!!! I was SO GLAD when she dressed up as Ariel that she thought the orange wig was cheesy! That would be so nasty.

Jojo is a very secure brunette....she only likes the dark haired princesses. She only likes the ones that look like HER. She is sassy.

Ya, I thought the skirt was fun. The top is kind of ok but the skirt is cute. That is how the Eeyore skirt was suposed to look - something like that. Hahaha...did this thread get started due to that godawful skirt?

Hey, I was thinking about who else is hot...haha......I LOVE the Rock - Johnson. What a hunk. Also....I think Wayne Brady is so cute and fun. But nothing comes close to a Scottish guy in a kilt.

OMG....Oprah has a show on today with some weird people on it.....Freegans are the first....they garbage pic for everything - including their food. Oh ick. Can you imagine? I don't like to dig thru my own trash for something I mistakenly thru out.

Oh...did anybody see GMA this morning with the mom that secretly taped her daughter's 1st grd teacher talking to the kids?!?!?!!? she was saying stuff like "You're all just a bunch of stupid kids"...."Stupid stupid....." OMG....I am not surprised. We have had some real winners. Most good, but some real witchy ones, too. Not the girls particularly but my son. He suffered in school.

 

[spacec47]

Lives4Disney- very nice outfit! Much better than that hiddious eyore skirt

Praline, I will let you know what Macy's has. Yes, DD is in private school in Metairie. Up until this year, she didn't wear uniforms (just started PK this year), and now I am super selective about what I get because I know she won't wear it too much and I want it to be unique.

I used to work at Macy's in the swimsuit department . For tummy issues, a little bit of rouching (sp?) pulled toward the hip or one side of the waist on the suit can really do wonders. The pic from Victoria's secret looks like that has some rouching pulled to the side. That type of suit made a lot of ladies look much thinner in the tummy department.

My threadbare LE one had ruching. It did wonders. Actually, tummy is smaller now, so not so much of a problem anymore, but I can use the help! I like a lot of the tankinis in Target actually, but can't wear the tops because NO SUPPORT even in the larger sizes.

Channing, bright colors are nice. I didn't mean Mom suits are bad. I am a Mom after all, I just don't like to wear a suit that my 65 yo Mom would wear!

I like the HM outfit. Very sassy with leggings and a jean jacket. I have to make sure Hannah doesn't see that one on the screen. She is still asking about the Mary Poppins one from last week's discussion!

 

[Lives4Disney]

Hey guys...just wanted to share this w/ya. I found out the Skechers dot com is having friends and families week....use code *93* for 50% off. I haven't tried it yet, so no guarantee, but I am going over to see! DDs could use some new tennies.

Edited to add - the code works - it takes 1/2 off and you get free shipping!

Oh, I know...some mom suits are OK. It isn't an OLD LADY suit. It is a *cute* mom suit.

Happy day,

Channing

 

[irisbud]

Channing, that skirt is MUCH better. Vary cute! I think it will look GREAT with the jacket and leggings!

 

[Lives4Disney]

I ordered this a while ago for my sassy Jo. I am nervous now, haha....I think it is totally her though. She has ATTITUDE.

This is the same lady that is making the toile Eeyore skirt and the Kanga/Roo top for DD11. From her emails and her other items I think she will be a good one.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Good morning girls!!!!

Denise, I am so EXCITED to hear how much better Rees is doing!!! That is a terrific weight gain and even better news about the tube. This is going to be some GREAT celebratory vaction once you take it!!!!

Channing, I was to Ulta early this am to grab my well rested for eyes and the cleanser. They are having an event on Friday 4/11 where someone comes in from Bare Minerals for a free consultation and you get a free gift. I signed up for the 10am so I can be done before I have to get DS from school at 11:30. PM me if you are thinking of going. This is a TERRIFIC time to go have it done and learn all about it...

As for the bathing suit talk I certainly don't have the upper issues ya'll have (I am a 34 B). Mercifully after gaining 60+ pounds with DS I was able to lose it in under 4 months time so I am still a size 4/6 (depending on the store). I am 33 but not above being a hoochie mama!! So I still still stick with my Ralph Lauren bikini's for now... I really like the VSC on that was posted!!!

I have to run and get DS- talk to you all later!

Kristin

ok...channing I will hold her down and you beat her with a certain Eyore skirt

I am serious...with my 3 angels now my tummy looks like a roadmap

Kristin, your so lucky you dont have roadmap gut

OMG....Oprah has a show on today with some weird people on it.....Freegans are the first....

I saw this on my digital cable (pops up with a mini info about the show) and was like what the heck is freegans? I was thinking it was like veegans but well they only eat free or wild animals

and now I am super selective about what I get because I know she won't wear it too much and I want it to be unique.

Me too... I am able to spend the extra money on a really cute outfit because I don't have to worry about clothing her like that every day
Mon-Fri she is in uniforms.

Ya, Praline, you hold her down and I'll wack her with the ugly skirt.

OMG>....Kristen, I don't think I have been that size EVER!!! At my best I was a 12. You lucky ducky. There is no way even thru diet and excersise - see I can't even spell it haha - I have ever been so tiny.

I will think about the Ulta demonstration. I swear though it totally indimidates me. Maybe I will just go buy the Loreal just the base so I can see what it's all about.

Oh...the Freegans are ill. So nasty!! I am so surprised they aren't sick and have food poisoning....would you eat ground beef out of some stranger's trash?!?!?!!?! I feel bad about the soccer/stripper mom. She is doing a great job I guess.

Talk to ya later,
channing

$200 later....
Got the kids all new sneakers and sandals for this summer. Gee thanks Channing... I think ...

 

[Cinderumbrella]

OK, I checked out the sketcher sale and actually DIDN'T buy anything (I guess your evil influence isn't working on me today like yesterday!! )

Please don't tie me down with that skirt!!! I spent a lot of money on LASIK a few years ago and I fear seeing it in person will make me go blind!!!!!!!!! (Just kidding, Lucy, I know you liked it!!)

I guess I am lucky to be thin, but I work really hard at now to stay that way. I don't eat carbs in the warm months and keep my daily calories to under 1500 otherwise (Except at WDW- I can consume 1500 calories at breakfast alone!! ). I think I got lucky with stretchmarks while I was pregnant since I gained 2-3 pounds EVERY week starting week 8 or so. So I never got a big "pop"- I just kept getting consistently bigger and bigger Plus I slathered shea butter balm on my tummy twice a day religiously!!! I was really nervous about losing it afterwards since if you look at my family, I am destined to be big. But I was very disciplined for those 4 months about watching my carbs and exercising.

Channing, seriously, I will go with you to Ulta. The ladies there are TERRIFIC and not at all scary. If you want to wait and go to the consultation, make the 10:30 appointment and we can do it together!!

I can't remember who asked about the price but it is on par with any of the mall make up (Clinique, Estee Lauder etc.) It seems expensive at first if you hog wild like I did and buy ALL of it (Face, eyes, lips etc.) But if you just start with face and then gradually add in the other stuff its not so bad. Plus, once you get all the brushes it is just a matter or replacing the powders, and I think they last a long time (at least 4 months)

 

[praline3001]

Hey if anyone gets any discount codes for Lands End ...give me a hollar.

There is an adorable skort I want there plus a bathing suit and a pair of shoes for the pool.... anyway, I want to hold off on getting them until I can find me a discount code. They have so many sales and deals that there is no sense in buying something now with no sale going on

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I almost forgot... who saw Rock of Love this week???????????? This season is SO much better than last year! These girls are such tramps- I love it!!!

DH and I were watching and he thinks Brett really likes Kristy Jo but is scared to death of her baggage. He thinks he will end up with Ambre since she is older and more of a complete package...

What about My Fair Brady?? Those 2 cry a lot!! I am still confused as to who wants kids and who doesn't since it seems like every week it changes

And lastly, Scott Baio at Costco with all those diapers was killing me!!!! I love that show!!
