I recently implemented an allowance for my husband, as he has a serious spending problem. I take care of the finances, but we had the joint checking account, and if he saw money was 'available' he would often spend it without thinking it might be for a bill. Needless to say, money has been an issue for us for a few years,…

You've got to follow your heart. Sometimes that means making the hard choice to leave the comfortable and embark on the difficult. When I was 25, I was working on my PhD, and everyone expected me to get that degree and get a fancy job. But after years in school I realized I really didn't like what I was doing. So I quit…

haha, thanks for the validation, but I'm a grown-up, and a very short one at that, so the 1200 cal thing doesn't bother me :)

I was weird, I had all the period symptoms minus bleeding at the time I was supposed to. I thought it was a bit odd, but since I wasn't only birth control, I had kind of irregular periods, so I brushed it off. A week or so later, I had an old college friend come for a weekend visit, we had a few glasses of wine, nothing…

So what's the background on these people? Did all of the adults live together and then get these pets in the 2 bedroom apartment? Did they combine households, bringing all of their individual pets with them? Did they at one point have a better living/financial situation? Just from personal experience, people don't…

Used Turbotax online for the last 5 years and have been very satisfied. Easy to use, good returns. My husband thought we were getting screwed last year because it wasn't as much return as the previous year, so he made us take all our stuff to H&R Block. They were going to give us about $500 less in refund and charge us…

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, words can definitely hurt. My ex-husband once said that he was no longer attracted to me and that both of my best friends were way hotter than me. It really broke me down, and the worst thing was, I wasn't fat at the time, I had gained maybe 8-10 lbs since we had gotten married. It…

When I was a kid I begged my dad to take me to the ABC store to buy some books. He laughed heartily and said no, but never explained why. I was probably in high school before I learned that ABC stood for 'Alcoholic Beverage Control' and people buy their booze there rather than their reading materials... :laugh:

the original type to command version of this game taught me how to spell. If anyone has played this game, you know just how very wrong that is...hahaha

I was beyond thrilled when I finally got to see my collar bones again and the whole definition of my shoulder area returned to a normal/healthy shape rather than just being roundish...

I have a 2 yo and work full time. I have tried to include him in exercise routines, but it never really works for us, about the best I can manage where I actually get a benefit is going outside and chasing balls, or me putting him in the stroller and going for a walk to the park (about 1/2 a mile away) and back. What I do…

For cheaper jeans that are mid-rise, I will second the 'sweetheart' style at old navy and style '4' (I think, but they describe the styles at the store) at Target

wtg!! Those NSVs are definitely the thing that keep you motivated in the long haul! Also, there's a thread at the top of the success board about how to post pics. I think the only thing it doesn't mention that I had to figure out on my own, is 1) once you've uploaded your pic to photobucket, resize the picture to about 500…

Two Weeks Notice

Well, my toddler was super pissed at me this morning before day care. Who knew that it was a requirement to sit and make funny faces at him while he ate breakfast? I'm about to piss off my house contractor because they're really falling down on the job and I'm going to call them out on it and demand receipts and itinerary…

Wild Things

it definitely hasn't been a 'motivator' as I don't really have plans to see any ex's again. But hey if I decide to go to high school reunion at some point, it would be nice to not be ridiculously heavier than when I was in high school eons ago :)

Check out my pinterest page, I have several great crockpot dishes. The one below is my family's favorite. The only thing I change from the stated recipe is that I just throw in a can of canneloni beans rather than going to the trouble with soaking dried beans. http://pinterest.com/pin/162059286562869193/

Nope! I got mine when I was 19, and yes it is the cliche tramp stamp. But honestly I did put a lot of thought into it since it was a (mostly) permanent decision. I chose a place that wouldn't change much with pregnancy, weight gain or wrinkles. I also chose a place that is easily covered so I would never have trouble…

It's frustrating, but our bodies do change after having kids, I know I can't lose weight at the rate I could pre-baby. However, it sounds like your muscles are probably retaining water from all of the exercise, which is common when you change your exercise routine. Also make sure you're eating the calories you burn from…

I'm 5'1", not quite done, but it's definitely a big difference At the beach in 2011 and 2012, 194 to 150ish Christmas 2010 in 190's Christmas 2012 at 145

haha, I saw that thread yesterday and I just sat with my popcorn.... from a client with big fancy degrees - "You're grammar is atrocious"..... okay.....
