Thanks for the Suggestion! I don't watch TLC, don't think my family does, so I don't think that will have as much popularity appeal for the price (seems to run about the same as Charm City). But they will deliver within a 5 hr drive. I figure if I don't get a CCC, it will be because I am able to find one cheaper that can do that pattern I want. I'm going to check out some local places and ask about flavors, design, and pricing. If one sounds good, I'll actually make a tasting appt and go from there. Since most cakes are 1/2 the price of Charm City, I figure it isn't unreasonable to hope to find one in that 1/2 price range. Otherwise, will probably go with CCC.

Soon-to-be MIL want to invite way more people than I expected. I don't really mind, because they will have to pay for their guests, but I am wondering where all these people I have never heard of (and all the local people who will probably attend but I have never met) came from.

I know! I am ready for the taste testing! Especially the cakes

The fiance was also talking about this really good caterer and how they make several tasting appts so you can okay everything and know exactly what you are getting... Where do I sign up?! Planning sounds like the fun part, especially when there is plenty of time to sit back and try all the food!

Yeah, we'll go there for the cakes but I'll meet you at the champagne tasting bar!

^^ Sounds good! Come on over! I need to find these champagne tastings of which you speak!

Sorry I didn't post my pics yesterday, ladies! My meetings took WAY longer than planned, and I didn't have enough time to take everything out between the end of the meetings and when we had to leave for dinner. I'm going to get them posted this morning!

OMGosh! I was at the outlet and a S.A had a bag on, it's a crossbody bag that someone posted a thread about over the weekend...anyway I saw it, grabbed it and was like OMG! I want this...she looked at me like I was plum crazy and opened the bag...holy crap it was her personal bag! I wanted to crawl under a rock...I laughed and said OH! well I love you're bag!

bahahahahahahaa

BTW since when do S.A. walk around wearing their OWN bags?

cz22 · Jun 17th, 2009, 01:28 PM

Nina, that is too funny! I'm sorry it actually happened to you - sounds really embarrassing! But it is a great story!

I laughed so hard my husband asked me why. I have to explained to him. That was so funny. I could really imagine myself doing the same thing.

ilovepapayamilk · Jun 18th, 2009, 01:44 PM

It makes me laugh so loud !

Nina_B · Jun 18th, 2009, 04:27 PM

Ah it's ok...the story makes me laugh really hard too! I swear I do that kind of stuff all the time!

OMG I would have done the same thing if it was something that caught my eyes as well.

I was at the outlet today and found a patent green (medium) zoe. Should I keep it or return it and get a chocolate one once my outlets get them? Or get both? I can't decide.

Hey there! I can't believe I've never read this particular thread! Silly me!! This is so fun to read! I didn't go all the way back, at least not yet, but what I have read has been so cool! Random chatting is fun!

Okay, so the real reason I landed here is b/c I've been searching & searching trying to find out where I can post picts. of Coach I saw in Better Homes & Garden magazine but can't find where to post them. I found threads about posting purses that tpfers wear out in the wild, but none of what I'm looking for. I don't think I'm crazy but I tought there used to be a thread....

Anyone know? TIA!!

BTW - cz22, keeping your family & friends in my thoughts & prayers.
