I'm passing the time pleasantly, waiting for my phone to ring, which will determine the direction of my life for the foreseeable future. I have idly considered what would happen if I threw my phone in the trash; a temporary measure, I realize, yet tempting.
I do intend to upgrade my 3-stone tho - in a somewhat shocking way. I'm going to throw another 20k at it, and will end up with something extraordinarily similar looking.
@Lookinagain - in working out my percentages and statistics, I did, indeed, add 5% to my chances, just because I live in cancer-treatment-capital! Boston is the BEST for this, so I consider myself fortunate indeed! More to the point, tho - I find it hard to believe you're not working on any projects at the moment! What do you have in the works??
@mrs-b to answer your bling question, I do have an email in to Amy about a potential 5 stone and am waiting for her reply. I also picked up that M colored AVC but haven't yet decided what I want to do with it. So I guess I would say I'm in between projects, but my mind is working on them!
I'm really glad you got that AVC - they're stunning, aren't they? Especially the warm ones, in my opinion. You might remember I originally set mine in a cluster. I wasn't fond of it, to be honest, so had it pulled apart and will have it reset in calibre rubies and yellow gold. This is *not* cheap, and the rubies, apparently, need at least 2 months to be cut. I'm thinking this will be a project for next year; a few more months and we'll start the financial run-up for Christmas!! (I know - I went there...)

I don't want to make this thread about my health, so let me just quickly say, the diagnosis wasn't great, but the long term prognosis is excellent and the treatment straight forward.
On the upside - I have a meeting with Amy this afternoon to work on my next lot of 'tweaks'; a couple of charms to go on my charm bracelet, a pair of SS golden pearl and diamond earrings, a little smoothing out to the band of my 7 stone ring. Couple of other things. All part and parcel of keeping it at a level I enjoy. I have thrown away the last of my pieces I didn't want and am either setting my remaining stuff or paring it right down, selling it, or giving it away. I'm getting to the point where I have nothing I don't love, nothing not up to par, nothing unset, nothing I don't wear. This is a very good place to be!!
This is gorgeous! It looks wonderful on you, and you are in my thoughts.Well, I tweaked. Because that's what I do. The pendant was hanging too low, so I re-jigged, and I like this better. It tends to lay flat and not rotate now, and I am less concerned about catching it on something and tearing the charm away from the bracelet! It's an overcast ol' day here in LA, and these photos were taken in a blue-grey room. So the color is about as bad as it can be. But I love it and it's making me very happy. I might get it shortened some more; the tighter it gets, the less it rotates.
Dang, it's a pretty little thang! The last words in 'sparkly doo-dads'! Love it.
