Dilema

Heidi's wedding is on May 9th...9 days away. Eek!!

This is my dress:

Obviously, I can't wear a regular bra because the front is too low cut.

If I wear something like this, you'll be able to see it, still.

The leading adhesive bra for millions of women worldwide for over 18 years.

Light, airy, comfortable, water-resistant, and absolutely reliable.

Our exclusive lace-like material breathes and molds to your individual shape. Unlike similar products, it has air holes - keeping you comfortable regardless of the weather.


This says it lifts, but I just don't see how that's possible, plus it would still be visible.

A Breast Lift without Surgery.
A substantial uplift without cosmetic surgery.

In just mintues, you will have a Beautiful Lift and a new you!

Brings up your breast and hides the excess skin, giving it a round, full shape and creating a perfect cleavage.


I could try this, I suppose, but it doesn't say anything about "lifting" the girls. While I may not be ginormous, or even large in the boobage department, I don't want them drooping to my knees!

The first truly BREATHABLE clear adhesive bra Clear Reveal has thousands of tiny holes that allow for exceptional breath-ability and comfort.

No other clear adhesive bra can make this claim and Braza has applied for a patent using this unique hi-tech medical grade technology. Micro-porous, non-sensitizing, disposable adhesive bra.

Since Clear Reveal Bra is invisible, no one will know you are wearing a bra, even if your skimpy dress or top shifts when you walk, dance, bend or exercise.

HELP!

What do you suggest I wear with this dress? I can't just go free-balling free-boobing!

Rated 'G', It Was Not

So this is the recap of the personal shower / bachelorette party.

A warning: if you are under age or uncomfortable with 'adult' things, you may want to step away from the post now.

Because we were worried about one girl in particular, who is a self-proclaimed 'prude', I made a little speech once everyone had arrived.

I said that this was not a rated G party. More along the lines of R. Some of the girls laughed and said, "Only R? Are you sure it's not rated X?" lol I said that this was all meant to be fun and I hoped that they would take it all in the spirit it was meant for. The whole night, it was difficult to tell if this particular girl was having fun. We think she was, but she was definitely uncomfortable.

Because we had reservations for 7 and not everyone got to my house until 5:30, we crammed a bunch in in about an hour or so at my house.

As a side note: I suggested to everyone that they wear black and Heidi wear white so that she would stand out as the bride.

First, I eased them in with a survey I had done with Heidi's fiance, Chad. For every question she got incorrect, she had to eat a piece of gum. Altogether, she got 31 questions wrong. I had also told them that they were not allowed to say wedding or Chad. Heidi did say Chad and one of the girls caught her so I made her take a shot. Then when she got the 31st question incorrect, I made her take a shot again because I was out of gum. heehee So evil. She definitely had a mouthful and it was hilarious watching her chew and try to talk.


Then I told Heidi that she had to do a blow job shot and her friend Tiffanie did one with her. I told them to do it with no hands but they were afraid they'd get it all over themselves and since we were going out they didn't want to ruin their shirts. Oh well. I tried.

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I purchased 9 bottles of liquor last week (plus I had a couple bottles already). These girls didn't want to take any shots or have any drinks!!! I suppose they may have if we'd had more time. But we were kind of rushing things along. (The next day Kyle asked where all the alcohol came from. I just told him that we had some and I bought some. heehee He didn't need to know I bought 9 bottles! Then he said that everything we had on the counter was enough to get the entire neighborhood messed up. lol)

After that, I told them we were going to play Pin the Macho on the Man and to go and pick their penis. The one girl told Heidi "Oh gosh, I don't think I'd even know what a penis looks like." And then I told them to put their names on them and she was hesitant to do that. I just had to chuckle to myself. (She's actually been a huge burden to Heidi during this wedding planning and she's only having her in the wedding because they used to be best friends and she doesn't even know if they'll remain friends after the wedding...stressful situation. We roll our eyes at her a lot.) The game was funny. And the person that got the closest to 'the mark' was the pregnant chick. LOL




After the game, Heidi opened all her gifts. She got lots of cute & sexy things. As the gifts went on, they got more risque. One of her friends got her an 'after sex' towel and the book "Tickle His Pickle" and "The Guide to Getting it on". And of course, mixed in with everything was the lingerie.

My mother-in-law surprised Heidi by having a gift there. She (my MIL) was so excited about her gift. She had it layered. The first layer was Hanes her Way undies. Then it was a tank and shorts. Then a couple of different see-through tanks with "up the butt do-dads" as she calls thongs. The last layer was a bustier with thigh highs. A sexy little thang.

From me, she got a Victoria Secret nightie / teddie / whatever the hell it's called thang. Then I gave her an 'X-Rated' bag and in it was a gazillion condoms (Buy 12 get 12 free - Woohoo!), his and her edible undies, Astroglide, massage oils and on the very bottom I put in a vibrator AND another vibrator that the guy at Love Zone gave to me as a "promotional item". LMAO! Oh man! Her expressions were HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! It was perfect!

I put this picture {above} in so you could see my lame attempt at decorating. Those are her wedding colors.

So as soon as she was done opening everything, we had to accessorize her. Got her the bachelorette sash, penis whistle, veil with penises all over it and a garter with a penis. Her friend got her the blinking penis tiara. Oh and a button with annoying music that said to buy her a drink. I bought "Caution Bachelorette Party Wild Women" tape that the rest of us wore as sashes.

Heidi didn't know where we were going but she had guesses. I wouldn't let her tell me till later and she had guessed correctly. Bummer. Oh well. She said she was glad and that it was a fun place so it was all good.


If you don't remember or haven't been here before to know where we were going, I took them to Chopstix, a dueling piano bar and restaurant. I had never been there before, but it was huge and it got packed! It took awhile for our waitress to take our order and then it took forever to get our food. It didn't help that I was already starving and then had to wait almost an hour to get our food. But once we did, it was delish.

We got there at 7:00. The show started at 8:00 and we were planning on staying till 1:30, but it got D-E-A-D around 11:30. We hung out for another half hour to an hour or so just because one of Heidi's friends didn't even get there till about 11pm cuz she had to work. It would've been not so nice of us to just pack up and leave right after she got there.

During the evening, there was a table with a couple of older, very drunk guys, right next to us. One of the guys kept on looking a couple of the girls up and down and making lude faces / gestures at them. SO, one of the girls kept yelling at him, while pointing "NO! CREEPY! GO AWAY!" Any time he would come near any of us, she would all of a sudden be right there guarding us and yelling at him. "NO! CREEPY! GO AWAY!" Oh my word. She had me almost rolling on the floor. She was HILARIOUS! I certainly appreciated her protectiveness, but I could NOT stop laughing.

Heidi was petrified of having to go on stage. When I very first started planning this night, I promised her no microphones, stages or strippers. Her friends on the other hand, had not. SO I told them that if they wanted to plan something, it was not on me and totally up to them. Heidi knew they were planning something because they kept on whispering and they had their heads down writing on the request forms. The same girl as above, drew a picture of a sunshine and a heart and write Heidi on it. Every time Heidi would look at them and start whining about then planning something, this girl, Amanda, would hold up the picture to Heidi and smile real big. And when our waitress came by and the girls were talking to her about their request, Amanda kept holding up the picture for Heidi. It doesn't sound very funny writing it out, but it was. She was such a little stinker and just kept us all laughing all night.


This request came later in the evening. There were two bachelorette parties (and the other Bride-to-be was quite the spectacle to watch. She kept us entertained for sure) and a couple birthdays (there were actually a lot, but two for this instance). They had the four girls go up to the stage and do the hokeypokey . But of course, they piano guys changed the words to dirty them up. It was funny, but I was quite surprised at some of the things they said. Then they had the girls go and grab a guy from the crowd. The guys then had to do the hokeypokey. And that was definitely dirtied up, especially when they had them put their "3rd leg" in and their "3rd leg" out. Oh man!


Throughout the night, Heidi and Tiffanie had A LOT to drink. A LOT. Heidi had had three shots before we even left my house and then she had probably another five or so shots and a drink or two. She was GONE! And so was Tiffanie. They are so funny together and add in some alcohol and it's very funny. According to text messages Heidi received the next day, Tiffanie was up puking all night. Not surprised. She was downing the drinks like they were juice, but she's also a total lightweight so it did not take much. Heidi didn't puke at all, but I think it's because she said she'd been eating heavy foods all day plus, she got chicken and pasta for dinner and took the entire night to eat it. lol


Shot of Wedding Cake {above}

Telling her how to do a bomb - it was citricy. Don't remember the name.

After we got home, I had a "sex talk" with Heidi till 2 am (she brought it up)! She is very naive and I had to fill her in on everything to expect. I'm pretty much the only one she'd feel comfortable talking about it all with so I'm glad I've better prepared her for what is to come. Glad I could fill the "big sister" role for her, since she only has brothers.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton, but suffice to say, it was an awesome night filled with lots of fun!




This book is waterproof! We had fun looking at it. lol {and she had it at the restaurant cuz it was from the friend that wasn't able to come till 11pm}


Ok, seriously falling asleep at my computer, but I wanted to get this posted so now I'm going to hit publish and go to bed.

Not Me! Monday



So while MckMama and Stellan are still in Boston, it looks like Stellan is doing pretty good, considering. MckMama does a lot better job of explaining everything that's going on so I'm not even going to try. How about you just go on over and visit the creator of Not Me! Monday and continue to send them all your prayers.

This was a very busy and long week. Because of my sister-in-law's personal shower / bachelorette party on Saturday, I did NOT have A LOT to do!

Monday did NOT start off with me going to the gym (yay me!) and then I did NOT go to get my oil changed. It was NOT WAAAYYYY overdue. I did NOT think it would only take about half hour and it did NOT end up being closer to an hour and a half. While I was waiting for my car, I did NOT walk around town. Walking along the main street is fine, but walking around the side streets is NOT fine. I was NOT uber paranoid and walking quickly, especially when a group of guys ended up following me for a few minutes. Ugh! I do NOT hate that paranoid feeling! When I returned to get my car, I did NOT have to sit in the "waiting room" for awhile. There was NOT a lady in there snapping her gum and I did NOT want to ring her neck and tell her to frickin STOP IT ask her to please stop snapping her gum.

I did NOT get home from doing errands to find that Milo had puked in four places downstairs. On the carpet. WHY is it ALWAYS on the carpet? I did NOT ignore it and pretend not to see it. Kyle was NOT irritated when he got home and saw it and I did NOT continue to pretend to not know anything about it. It was NOT totally disgusting and I did NOT end up cleaning it up later, even though I really didn't want to.

I did NOT spend a butt-load of money on Heidi's shower. Nope, I certainly know how to control myself, especially when I don't have a job. However, in my defense, some of that money did NOT come from my mom, who so graciously, pays me occasionally for watching my nephews so she can work, on the days my sister is in school. I did NOT buy a ton of really fun, naughty things for her, though. And I will NOT be telling you all about the party tomorrow, so definitely do NOT come back for that.

I did NOT post two posts today so definitely do NOT forget to scroll down and see the other one that is NOT about National Infertility Awareness Week.

You know the drill. What have you NOT done this week?

NIAW: Infertility 101

NIAW2009-Banner



National Infertility Awareness Week is a movement to raise awareness about the disease of infertility which affects 7.3 million Americans

Infertility 101: Get the facts

Myth: Infertility is a women's problem.

Fact: This is untrue. It surprises most people to learn that infertility is a female problem in 35% of the cases, a male problem in 35% of the cases, a combined problem of the couple in 20% of cases, and unexplained in 10% of cases. It is essential that both the man and the woman be evaluated during an infertility work-up.

Myth: Everyone seems to get pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Fact: More than five million people of childbearing age in the United States experience infertility. When you seek support, you will find that you are not alone. Join RESOLVE, a support group, or talk with others who are struggling to build a family, so that you won't feel isolated.

Myth: It's all in your head! Why don't you relax or take a vacation. Then you'll get pregnant!

Fact: Infertility is a disease or condition of the reproductive system. While relaxing may help you with your overall quality of life, the stress and deep emotions you feel are the result of infertility, not the cause of it. Improved medical techniques have made it easier to diagnose infertility problems.

Myth: Don't worry so much -- it just takes time. You'll get pregnant if you're just patient.

Fact: Infertility is a medical problem that may be treated. At least 50% of those who complete an infertility evaluation will respond to treatment with a successful pregnancy. Some infertility problems respond with higher or lower success rates. Those who do not seek help have a "spontaneous cure rate" of about 5% after a year of infertility.

Myth: If you adopt a baby you'll get pregnant!

Fact: This is one of the most painful myths for couples to hear. First it suggests that adoption is only a means to an end, not an happy and successful end in itself. Second, it is simply not true. Studies reveal that the rate for achieving pregnancy after adopting is the same as for those who do not adopt.

Myth: Why don't you just forget it and adopt? After all, there are so many babies out there who need homes!

Fact: For many, adoption is a happy resolution to infertility. But choosing how to build your family is a very personal decision. Learning about all the ways to build a family can open your eyes to options you may not have thought of as a possibility. Education is key to finding resolution.

Myth: Maybe you two are doing something wrong!

Fact: Infertility is a medical condition, not a sexual disorder.

Myth: My partner might leave me because of our infertility.

Fact: The majority of couples do survive the infertility crisis, learning in the process new ways of relating to each other, which deepens their relationship in years to follow.

Myth: Perhaps this is God's way of telling you that you two aren't meant to be parents!

Fact: It is particularly difficult to hear this when you are struggling with infertility. You know what loving parents you would be, and it is painful to have to explain to others that you have a medical problem.

Myth: Infertility is nature's way of controlling population.

Fact: Zero population growth is a goal pursued in a time of world overpopulation, but it still allows for couples to replace themselves with two children. Individuals or couples can certainly elect the option to be childfree or to raise a single child. Infertility, for those who desire children, denies them the opportunity to choose.

Myth: I shouldn't take a month off from infertility treatment for any reason... I just know that this next month will be THE one!

Fact: It is important periodically to reassess your treatment and your parenting goal. Continuity in treatment is important, but sometimes a break can provide needed rest and renewal for the next steps.

Myth: I'll be labeled a 'trouble maker' if I ask too many questions.

Fact: The physician/patient team is important. You need to be informed about what treatments are available. What is right for one couple may not be right for another, either physically, financially, or emotionally. Don't be afraid to ask questions of your doctor.

A second opinion can be helpful. If needed, discuss this option with your physician.

Myth: I know I'll never be able to stop treatment until I have a pregnancy.

Fact: Pregnancy is not the only pathway to parenthood. You may begin to think more about parenthood than about pregnancy. You may long for your life to get back to normal. You may consider childfree living or begin to think of other ways to build a family.

Myth: I've lost interest in my job, hobbies, and my friends because of infertility. No one understands! My life will never be the same!

Fact: Infertility is a life crisis -- it has a rippling effect on all areas of your life. It is normal to feel a sense of failure that can affect your self-esteem and self-image. You will move through this crisis. It is a process, and it may mean letting go of initial dreams. Throughout this process, stay informed about the wide range of options and connect with others facing similar experiences.

So, if you read those, you should be caught up. For the past year and a half, we've done zip, zero, ziltch. And yes. It sucks that we're at a standstill. Hopefully one day soon we'll be able to move forward in whichever way we're supposed to.

Please just remember those of us that are going through this and either don't say or word things carefully because even though we may put on a brave face, words can really tear us apart inside.

Praise & Worship Sunday: Draw Me Close


Draw Me Close
Michael W. Smith
(Click the title to go to the YouTube video)

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire No one else will do
Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You’re all I want
You’re all I've ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near

Above All
Michael W. Smith

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

I included both of these songs because Michael W. Smith sings both of them in the video. I'd never seen this video till I went searching for the first song and I just love watching musicians totally get into their music. And he's such a great worship leader and song writer. I loved it.

I'm sure a lot of people can say that they grew up listening to Michael W. Smith. I certainly can. I LOVE him. He is probably one of my very favorite Christian artists. His songs are just amazing and he has a song for every emotion you may be going through. These two songs are ones that I could listen to and sing over and over and over. And if I'm feeling down and out of sorts when I sing / listen to them, they'll likely bring me to tears, too.

Join Brittany at Sweet Nothings for more Praise & Worship Sundays.

If someone could tell me how to include the videos in my post without having to link to YouTube, I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks!

Six Word Saturday:

As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's ranch. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband NEVER to touch it.

For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash.

He took the box to her and asked about the contents.

"My mother gave me that box the day we married," she explained. "She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you."

Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice.

"What's the $82,500 for?" he asked.

"Oh, that's the money I made selling the rest of the doilies."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar loudly.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the front. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was near tears himself by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

Aloha Friday


It's Aloha Friday over at An Island Life!

Answer my question and make sure you post one on your blog!

After that, go relax because today is Friday!!

Because my sister-in-law's bachelorette party is tomorrow, I've been thinking about bachelorette parties a lot this week. So...

Question for you this week is:
Tell me about the best or worse bachelorette party you've ever been involved in.

My answer:

Among my friends, they've all been very tame. Dinner, comedy clubs, dancing clubs...tame stuff.

At my bachelorette party, I was dressed up in a shirt with lifesavers sewn onto it. I also had a sign put around my neck that said "Suck for a Buck"

Then I was taken to the mall where the very first person that came up to us was a 17 year old gay boy. He was trying to find out what we were doing and then WHY I was getting married SO YOUNG. THEN when he "sucked for a buck" he went right for my boob.

I said, "Oh sure, go right for my boob will ya!"

And he says, "It doesn't matter! I'm gay!"

Mmm-kay.
I don't think this is the 17 year old. I think the camera wasn't brought out till we had walked through the mall more.

10 Reasons God Created Eve

  1. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because men hate to ask for directions.
  2. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote (Men don't want to see what's ON television, they want to see WHAT ELSE is on!).
  3. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him.
  4. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor's appointment for himself.
  5. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.
  6. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle childbearing.
  7. As "Keeper of the Garden," Adam would never remember where he put his tools.
  8. The scripture account of creation indicates Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
  9. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone."
  10. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head and said, "I can do better than that"
