So, my best friend of 13 years is getting married in July and I am her MOH... I have to go order my dress Monday for the dress to come in on time. I technically have reached my first goal of 10 pounds and am pretty happy with the results. I thought last week that I might like to lose 3 to 5 more pounds. Then I thought…

World Cup UK vs USA
June 12 is the game between US and UK. Would love to hear some comments from my UK friends. I am conflicted. Rooney is one of my favorite footballers, but I gotta root for my home team. Won't be too disappointed at any outcome. Hoping for a draw though. Personally think Brasil or Argentina will win the World Cup. Thoughts?

He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced…

Any history buffs out there?
If there is any history buffs on MFP, I have posted some pictures of a church that was built back in 1815. You can see the finger prints of the slaves that built it. I was there today and it is very humbling. If you look at them I need to explain some of them. The two pictures that look like stains are the finger prints.…

Breast Implants
Ok, so I am getting ready to have my first consultation for breast implants. I was just wondering if anyone has them and how the experience went. Has anyone had to have more than one surgery? How long did it take to recover from the surgery? Any problems with the implants?

About two years ago I tried watching football w/ my hubby. I had no previous knowledge at all. My dad never watched it growing up and I didn't go to games in high school or anything. But hubby works out of town Mon-Thurs. and Sundays are spent watching football. So I figured that if I was going to spend "quality" time with…

the elusive 'magic' water bottle
I have somehow managed to convince myself that if I could just find that water bottle that was cool enough I'd be able to drink all the water I'm suppose too. :drinker: (for those of you struggling to drink your daily water... so far this method has not worked. :) I did finally resort to setting an alarm on my phone to go…

I have a nice place to walk outside at work and while walking I noticed several pine cones laying on the sidewalk. There were 12 pine cones laying on the sidewalk near a tree and nine of them were sitting upright. That kind of amazed me. Then when walking near my home I noticed a similar thing for another pine tree. Both…

It's been over a year since I finished grad school and I finally found a good job. It's not temporary. It's not generic office work. It's not a sacrifice in pay or benefits. It's not a scam. it's not an internship. I can finally get a paycheck, a desk in my own office and room to grow. I can pay my bills and contribute to…
