OMG, Amanda! $300! They are beautiful shoes, but I just can't get past the price tag. I think my DH would have a coronary if he ever found out I spent that kind of money on 1 PAIR of shoes. He already insists I'm going back to work when Krystina starts school in the fall . The way I see it, I don't NEED to work but I do NEED to be available for my DD and her school .

Well, I know I haven't posted in a couple of weeks but trust me I have been keeping up with the DRAMA! (remind anyone of Days of our Lives?....... I also follow that thread ) This morning when I saw the latest posts I just wanted to . DH would've been very upset with me though because it's his laptop I'm using this morning! Anyway, if I don't post later today, everyone have a great weekend! And KNOW that (even if I don't post)" I AM WATCHING YOU" .

PS: HI, Ladypoo & Dzne!!

 

[EEYOREFAN1969]

Dzne , thanks for thinking about me! Things are settling down around here. Ron has been buried. The funeral was very hard for me but it was something that I had to do. His parents are back in Massachussetts and are taking things very hard. It has to be so sad for them.

Amanda, I LOVE the shoes!! I would buy them too but my DH would have a stroke! I would get the shoes and scrimp on the dress. But then again, I am someone who spends hundreds of dollars on purses........ I love them in the gold too. I just bought a pair of Coach sandals. ........... I guess the first step is admitting that you have a problem, huh?????

 

[taeja71]

well, there's fast free shippping. Amanda, you are in a position of your marriage (no kids, maybe less debt) that you are able to buy more expensive things. I remeber before kids I had a beatiful wardrobe and now I find deals where ever I can b/c I have other members of our family to buy for. What is Zappos return policy? Will they expect you to pay shipping if you return the shoes? I think the shoes are horrible, they don't compare to your beautiful smile. I think you still have a tough decision to make. Will you wear these on your cruise???

Besides think of the additional expese you will have. Getting a pedicure to keep your toes nice and pretty and then the waxing to make your legs nice, oh then there's the gym to make your body better, and then your hair to compliment your face (have you gotten your hair cut yet?), and then of course there's your nails to go with the rest of your body.Then, last, there's the wardrobe.... Just kidding!

 

[ericamanda01]

Well I do my own toes, no waxing, I don't enjoy the pain, and I am cheap with my hair. So I guess I could do it without too much guilt. It would be a once in a lifetime purchase, because I would never spend that kind of money ever again. And I would wear them to every special occation for the next ten years. But for some stupid reason I just wanna get them. And I actually could get them cheaper at Nordstorms cheaper. (insert smile biting lip here!)

Besides they are soooooo ulgy that I think I should buy them just to save someone else from having to wear them!

Good morning ladies! Well it's supposed to be a beautiful day here. How I don't know, it's only 36 right now. But we'll see. Eric is taking Mason with him golfing, so I will have the house to myself to get some homework done with out the cat/dog chase game or the dog-take-me-out-every-five-seconds game. I do find it a little ironic that I am so sick of the cold and yet Eric and I are going to look at air condititioners later today. Ahhh life, sooo funny.

Well it's official we are on the baby train. Man, that sounded dirty! Anyway, I have an appointment with my OBGYN and I am gonna get all checked out and then we are gonna try full time (much to Eric's excitment ) to get preggers. I am actually ready. Everyone told me that I would know when I wanted kids, but I had no idea that it would hit me like an episode of Emeril, BAM! I really hope it happens right away, but I am being realistic. I have seen too many women that have gone for year, so I don't want to get my hopes up. I know it's not really up to Eric and I but God and when he wants us to have a baby, hopefully a boy, then he will send him to us. I just hope that if it does take a long time that it's not to hard on Eric.

We decided not to tell his family that we are trying. I really don't want that kind of pressure. We alredy hear about it and they have no idea that we are trying. Can you imagine what kind of advise we would get if they knew. Good lord, I would have to take the phone off the hook! As a matter of fact besides eachother and my mom, your the only people I have told.

Wow, sorry to unload so much on you all so early. I guess my coffee kicked in while I was typing. Have a great day!

I love babies! I can't wait for our newest Rossman groupie to arrive. And all the more reason to go to DL or WDW. It took 9mos for me to conceive our oldest and we were an active couple. Then bam! Bam! came the other two.

If you are actively trying, be sure to get to the dentist and your optomistist (god I can't spell w/o my glasses). Both won't look at you while preggo they say your hormones mess every thing up. So, get that done too.

Soo happy for you! Have fun!

AMANDA: Congrats (on "officially" trying!)!!!! Let me just say that it is an HONOR that you chose to share that with us! Not trying to get too personal, but were you on birth control for a long time? How long have you been off? When I finally decided to start trying, I had been on BC pills for about 3 years. When I went off of them, my dr said it would take about 6 months (on average) to conceive. Well, a year later, still no baby. Two years, still nothing. Finally almost 3 1/2 years later we moved to the Dallas area & I found a new DR & told her about my dilema. Well, she did all sorts of tests & even sent me to a fertility specialist to make sure my tubes weren't blocked, etc (not a very comfortable procedure, either!!) . Anyway, turns out my thyroid was outta wack! All those years & my original (stupid ) dr had NEVER even checked my thyroid!!!! Needless to say, after 3 months of being on the thyroid meds, BAM, I was pregnant with Krystina . It was very difficult for me during those 3 1/2 years. But you are right, it will happen when it's supposed to. During those 3 1/2 years I had so much going on & alot of stress over an auto/pedestrian accident that I had been involved in that it wouldn't have been the best time for me or a baby. As soon as things were resolved (and I found a NEW dr), it happened. Don't worry about it too much, but HAVE FUN trying!!

Edited to add: T: I LOVE your siggy line!! So appropriate!!

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I caught Eric looking at stuff about conciving online this morning. It was really cute. He got kinda embarresed and changed the page. He is excited too. I talked to my friend about it and she asked me what I would do if I got pregnant before WDW and all the rides. I said with all the food there that would be a ride in it's self!

 

[taeja71]

Oh, get that book called Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy. There's stuff in there your close friends won't even tell you. No kidding! It was a really funny book and true! I'd start laughing and my dh would look over. Even I was embarassed to show him the parts I was reading.

here's the book link from AMAZON

 

[EEYOREFAN1969]

Congrats, Amanda!!!! It will happen when its darn ready too. The trying is fun though!!! I was actually on the other end of the spectrum. I got pregnant twice while on the pill!!!! I call my DH Aquaman!!! he he he Good luck to you both, parenthood can be stressful and trying on occassions but most of the time its the best thing in the world! Priceless!! Especially those little moments like when your baby smiles at you for the first time, says Mama, says "I love you", etc... You'll be a great Mom. And kids LOVE DCL, so you'll have plenty of them in your future! Get the shoes!! You'll regret it if you don't. Better get them before the baby gets here like Taeja said.

That's just what my mother said to me this morning!

Hey I took the cutest picture of Mason today. What do ya think?

Oh yeah baby, I got em!
I put them on to take the picture, then I quickly put them back in the box and on the high shelf in the closet. Eric was so cute when he saw me with the bag from the store. He said "Ok, let's see what all the fuss is about." He said they were very pretty and that he was happy that I liked them. And that was it. I got a great hubby! Either that or he has secretly taken up drinking when I was out today!

Well, if he ever has any doubts about those shoes just bat your eyes wearing your birthday suit and every thing should be just fine. Your shoes look better on you than in the pic from the website.

**side note- how's Mason holding up?

 

[Krystina'sMommy]

Amanda: GREAT pic of Mason! Oh, yeah, I LOVE the shoes, too! I can see you sporting your shoes while wearing the cutest little MATERNITIY dress ever!

PS Pokie says she's with Mason all over again!! BTW, do you know how much he weighs? He seems to be more of the classic stocky Boston while Pokie is the leaner, taller Boston. Oh well, they are BOTH just the CUTEST!!

 

[ericamanda01]

He is weighing in at a whopping 18 lbs! He's mommy's little piggy. We were worried that he was fat. Next to his sister he really looks like a porker. Then after church on Easter sunday the breeders came over to see him, and said that he looks great. Stocky and in great shape just like his dad and granddad. So happy day, he's not fat!

T, great idea with the birthday suit! I didn't even think of that! By the way the look on Mason's face in the picture is the same look on Eric's when I told him about the shoes. Puppys really do look like their parents!

 

[taeja71]

NO ONE KNOWS WHO OR WHAT I AM HERE EXCEPT very few in the three circle community. I like being a mystery. I wanna see how long it will last before I spill my own beans.

Well, the IT has hit the fan over there. Amanda is helping to dig me out of the it.

 

[EEYOREFAN1969]

Amanda, I LOVE the shoes! What size are they?? 6 ??? Huh ???? They look great on your feet. Mason looks happy that you got them and Kudos to Eric for not having a hissy. He IS a great hubby! Hold on to him!
