Rue La Lilly.

Oh man... did anyone hit up the Lilly boutique at Rue La La this week? Definitely had one of those "I wish I could be irresponsible" moments. Some killer deals for sure! If you snagged anything, tell me about it so I can live vicariously through you! I'd been after Rue La La to do a Lilly boutique from the beginning... and of course by the time they do it, we're on a tight budget and I have to restrain myself! OH well... next time maybe!

Readings, Recipes and Rambles said...: I had to restrain as well but you should be so proud of yourself...you have been so dedicated to the budget and I think its wonderful!; February 11, 2009 at 8:15 AM
Sarah said...: Good for you for showing restraint!!! I know it's hard, I've put myself on a tight budget as well!; February 11, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Lulu said...: I am with you, I had one of those moments as well. But, I didn't purchase one thing! =(; February 11, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Suburban prep said...: I went, I looked, I put things in the cart, I left the site and came back three times and didn't purchase either. I was so tempted but I don't have the extra money needed for these.
Great things though.; February 11, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Anonymous said...: I'm so jealous. A Lily sale ar Rue La La -- I wish I could take advantage. How do I get a 'membership'?!; February 11, 2009 at 11:28 AM
The Marden Family said...: Um yes, I am glad to hear I was not the only one being slowly tortured as I flipped through all of the CUTE items in that sale! I knew I shouldn't have looked at it!; February 11, 2009 at 12:46 PM
The 5 Bickies said...: Our local Lilly store had amazing deals. A navy shirt dress is singing to me for $59! Haven't budged, yet.; February 11, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Muffy said...: I got the pink Jacqueline dress! YAY! I really wanted that fiesta sweater too....wasn't it darling?!?; February 11, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Preppy Pink Crocodile said...: I snagged a cute sweater (well almost two but one was gone by the time I went to pay- drats!). But it was free minus shipping because I had a bunch of credits. Yay for free Lilly!!; February 11, 2009 at 2:52 PM
What Kate Wore said...: You know what Miss Buford Betty? We actually made our very first purchase ever at one of these online boutiques at the Lilly sale. We are blaming it all on the Fashion Herald for alerting us to its happening, as we never even open the emails from all of the "invite-only" places.

But the total was minimal, so we are giving ourselves permission to enjoy said purchase.

Now if you want to win some free Lilly stationery, we are having a Giveaway should that tickle your fancy!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

cancersucks said...: I got a crisp white wrap shirt and a thin white v-neck sweater. Lovin' the rue la la lately. Also got the slimming tummy tank..forget the name a few days later for half price. Am proud of you for sticking to your budget!; February 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Polos & Pearls said...: I didn't get anything either....; February 19, 2009 at 9:24 AM

The Skinny

I grew up (and still live) in Atlanta suburbia.
I'm a Georgia Bulldog! I met my husband at UGA in Geology 110 and the rest is history.
I'm a CPA, working as a tax professional at a local firm. But I'm also very creative and artistic. I use both sides of my brain.
I'm a Christian and I like to talk about God stuff.
My husband and I are smack dab in the middle of working our way out of debt. We drive old cars and brown bag it.
I'm a huge Dave Ramsey fan, so if you don't like him, I'll probably annoy you.
I love to talk about money and I love helping people with money problems. I'm working towards becoming a personal financial counselor/mentor through our church.
We have two dogs, Belly - an 11yr old border collie mix, and Gertie - a 6yr old lab/pit mix. They're our little loves!
We are members of Buckhead Church and volunteer as 2-to-1 mentors (the church's premarital program).
My husband and I started TTC our first child in November 2005. After a long battle, we finally gave birth to our son, Samuel Nolen, in January 2012!
I want to write a book on my struggles with infertility. And I talk a lot about our journey on this blog, but in no way do I let my infertility define me. This is not an infertility blog; I just want to be an encouragement to others fighting the good fight!
I absolutely love life and wouldn't trade our journey for the world. The struggles we have faced have made me the person I am today.

Infertility ain't for wimps.

Jan 12 - Samuel Nolen arrived! Now the journey really begins!
May 11 - IVF Cycle #2 (FET) -- BFP!
Apr 11 - Starting Lupron for first FET cycle in May
Jan 11 - Surgery #3 - septum successfully removed! Residual deemed "clinically insignificant."
Dec 10 - Enjoying the holidays while gearing up for a 3rd surgery in January. Planning to do a frozen IVF cycle in May.
Nov 10 - IVF Cycle #1 (+ Moo Goo) - chemical pregnancy
Sep 10 - IUI Cycle #4, on Femara (+ Moo Goo) - BFN
May 10 - Trying acupuncture/herbs/diet for 3-6 months. I call it my Moo Goo plan.
Aug 09 - IUI Cycle #3, on Femara - BFN
Jul 09 - IUI Cycle #2, on Clomid - BFN
May 09 - IUI Cycle #1, on Clomid - chemical pregnancy
July 08 - Decided to cool our heels for a while on TTC. Not preventing anything, but not quite ready to move forward.
May 08 - My OB/GYN recommended acupuncture. Definitely going to try this in conjunction with IUI/IVF when we're ready.
Apr 08 - Still on doctor hiatus and TTC on our own. Trying to figure out which cycle we'll start our first IUI on... prob May or June.
Jan 08 - For many reasons, we decided to wait on IUI and try on our own for a few months. On Clomid for this cycle...
Dec 07 - The hub's boys are a bit low volume-wise, so RE wants to move forward with IUI.
Nov 07 - RE set out a plan for us: Try on our own for 3 mos, then move to Clomid and IUI for 3 mos. If no luck, we move to IVF.
Oct 07 - Had a follow-up HSG, which showed there is still a small, residual septum (so not quite all of it was removed).
Sep 07 - Surgery #2 - Septum is successfully removed. Minimal traces of endo. were found and removed.
Aug 07 - Depot shot #2. And the hot flashes insued...
Jul 07 - RE started me on Depot Lupron shots for the purpose of softening the uterine tissue for surgery #2 (although the shots are typically given to treat endo.)
Jun 07 - Surgery #1 - Stage III endometriosis discovered and removed, ovarian cyst removed; "weak area" discovered on my uterine wall - septum couldn't be safely removed
May 07 - more and more bloodwork, a renal ultrasound (to make sure I have two kidneys - and yay, I do); surgery is scheduled
Apr 07 - We meet with the fertility specialist (RE) for the first time
Mar 07 - MRI confirms that I have a septate uterus
Feb 07 - HSG shows uterine abnormality
Feb 07 - My progesterone levels are reportedly low, I start taking supplements; the hub has his boys tested and they look fine
Jan 07 - start initial infertility testing with my OB/GYN
Nov 05 - Dec 06 - TTC with no luck
Nov 05 - off BC
Nov 02 - The hub and I get married!
