    Kat, you need to sign up for a photobucket account and upload pictures there. then you can post them on the thread using the IMG code. Kim and I will help you. we post pix all the time.

    I am home sick today and probably tomorrow. Trying really hard to come down with a full blown head cold and I know the stress factor at work is partially to blame. I had a full on panic attack yesterday just walking from the car to my cubicle. And I proceded to get sicker as the day went on. So I am at home this morning and I made a big batch of pumpkin pancakes. :bigsmile:

    Ohhhh, Robin :smooched: I hope you bounce back quick, maybe a couple of days off is just what you need. Or, a hitman on your boss. Opps, did I post that out loud. :blushing:

    SoCal, good luck with those zeros. :smile:

    Ugh, I have been up since 4:15 this morning. I made the kid's a huge breakfast, pattymelts and pork bulgogi. I'm debating about barre yoga and if I really want to work that hard. :ohwell:

    Forgot to post on the booze front. Due to this new social drinking application the husband has actually been drinking during the week. So I had wine last night and then he came home and said what beer should be try? It's kind of nice not "drinking alone" haha. He's started earnings at work so he'll be late home for probably the next two weeks so I see drinks and drinks and drinks but I'm going to be good with food and water because even though the wedding is over I love how slim I'm feeling and I need to fit into my size 2 costume wedding dress for our Halloween party! My face is better so I'm looking forward to Monday and working out again :bigsmile: The break has been nice but I love my work outs plus they make me feel better about my booze calories haha.

    Kat,

    You will probably have to resize the photo. So, click on the photo. Then hover at the top of the photo until the drop down menu appears. Click on resize to about 320 or the next one higher. Save.

    Then, copy the IMG code and past to MFP
    Change the capital IMG to lowercase img
    Post

    Sometimes, it's a butt and doesn't work properly. Try not to get frustrated with it.

    Here's one of my favorites despite me talking and not being ready haha. It's me with my best friend since 2nd grade/MOH and my cousin who's more a brother and who walked me down the "aisle" :heart:

    61185_10151278834998488_629157085_n_zps7c117ef7.jpg

    I am short but he just makes me look even shorter since he's 6' 8" haha

    We had some good family photographers there :wink: I'm looking forward to the professional ones. I was worried about my make up because I had a break out due to Aunt Flo but so far it's turned out okay in the pics.

    Beautiful Kat! I love how different your dress is! I love the dark purple bridesmaid dresses, looks similar to the color my best friends wants for her wedding next october that I am MOH in. Oh and your cousin is super tall!

    Kat, I like the way the bridesmaids all have the same color and different styles on top...you and the mama pic is adorable...dress is stunning...ummm, boy is HUGE & handsome

    OK, after seeing Kate holding the drink in her hand, I've decided to go for happy hour with hubs. I must celebrate her wedding :drinker:

    Thanks Chloe =] I loved every minute of wearing that dress even though I'm not big on staying dressed up for long. I did switch into my black velour Mrs. LaBarre track suite with orange writing and green design for the after party. I wanted a sort of spectrum starting with the aubergine bridesmaids and then my MOH having a few shades darker than my dress and then mine and the same for the guys though theirs doesn't quite show up as well. But I love that the husband and I BOTH stand out not just me and that our MOH and Best man stand out aside from the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The one random orange lily in my bouquet is for my Grampa, it wasn't exactly a tiger lily like I hoped but he had planted tiger lilies all around our house so it was in memory of him. I actually had a picture of he and I there with me that day and someone took a picture of it :heart: I couldn't look at it at first because I immediately started to cry and I thought I would be a mess when the song for the dance with my uncle (my father/daughter dance) came on since it was also for my Gramp but I only teared up a few times that day and didn't need tissues at all :smile: The song was "Over the rainbow" by Israel IZ Kamakawiwo'ole ... makes me tear up every time I hear it. My MOH also said she started tearing up when my song for walking down the aisle started, I thought I would but I was actually ok, just loved hearing the song and seeing my guy, who I could actually just zero in on because the doorway pretty much blocked everyone else out.

    Hahaha, yeah. Thanks for the help with the pics!! I'm 5' 2 and a half I think haha and my husband is 6' 2" so I feel short anyway but walking down with my 6' 8" cousin was just too funny and was probably one of the things that kept the tears at bay. Though when I first saw him in uniform I teared up, I'm just so proud of that kid and found out he's moving home!!!! I cannot wait to hang out with him lots when he's back :bigsmile: Not to mention watch some Packer games like old times.

    Happy hour sounds great right now! Think I may wait a little longer or just wait until my show is on but we'll see.

    Well, went to happy hour in honor of Kat. Thought of Zip while watching the Yankees and the Cardinals at the bar. And, strangely, wondered what number Zip would report tomorrow.

    Super duper lushy night tonight...zeros for a long time.

    That must've been a lushy night kim. I don't think the Yankees even played :wink:
    I haven't figured out if Zip drinks more or less when his team wins. We shall see.

    0 for me tonight. Back on track.

    0's on Monday & Tuesday but yesterday I decorated 85 Halloween cake pops for my stepdaughter, who is having a bake sale for her volleyball team so I had to drink wine to get through all that work! :drinker:

    Happy Thursday lushes!

    Tonight I have prelogged a couple vodka and diet tonics and a couple beers. Its rest day today and we are going to a friends house for chili. I will be over in cals, but I created enough of a deficit the past few days to make up for it. I am off work tomorrow, yay! But, my goal for the weekend is to stay under cals all 3 days!

    Awwww Mama Lush :heart: thank you :smile:

    Faith I hope you feel better soon sweets :flowerforyou: I don't know what's worse, head cold or stomach bug. Think it's head cold for me because I hate being stuffed up and can't sleep at all when I am. I'm lucky enough though that I seem to have a titanium immune system and very, very rarely get sick.

    Thanks SoCal :smile: I hate pictures of myself but actually didn't think they all looked terrible.

    Thank you so much amancanzo :bigsmile:

    No dinner last night since we haven't been able to grocery shop and a little too much of the sauce haha. I'll be good tonight :wink: even though the husband will be late late :ohwell:

    0 for me tonight. Back on track.

    I think the number is higher when they win for some reason...I remember seeing the Yanks and they were crapping on with interviews

    And, yes, super uber lushy
