Hello brides!
As many of you know I am finishing up with nursing school and will be graduating in June with my RN-BSN. I have been super busy and stressed with studying for my state boards and I have not been on the thread as much lately. I love our thread and still want to be a part of it. But sadly it is becoming a little much for me each week to keep up with. I am wondering if there is anyone else willing to take over the thread and make the weekly initial posting and to “moderate” the thread???!!! I would ask that it be someone who has been apart of the threads for at least 2 of the 4 months we have been together (Since they would then know the most about how the board goes). Anyone interested please let me know by message or on the thread. If more than one person would like to take over…not sure what I will do! I hope everyone can understand!
How to upload a photo: Go to www.photobucket.com, it’s a free service, and upload your photos. Copy and paste the IMG code (there is a list of codes, easy to find on the site) onto your message post. Change the capital IMG code at the beginning and end of the code to lower case img. Your photo will appear when you make the actual “post.” (I will post this each week.)
Week 17 challenge: Who has Easter leftovers around? Are they tempting you? Let’s try this week to not binge on the holiday leftovers. Limit yourself and if you can’t handle that…get rid of it all! Didn’t celebrate Easter….avoid the ice cream in the freezer or the bag of BBQ chips in the pantry!
