Everyone who recently became engaged!

It seems like there were a lot of engagements over the holiday weekend so I just thought I''d do one big congrats, as I''m sure my boss would prefer that I get some work done today.

Congrats, you lucky ladies !!!!!

 

[Bliss]

Thank you, Snickerdoodle!

That is my FAVORITE COOKIE! If I had a puppy, I would name her Snickerdoodle!

 

[Dreamgirl]

Yes, congratulations to all the lucky ladies!!

 

[snogirl17]

I love that phrase in relation to engagements. Make me imagine the guy whipping out the ring to propose and all the women fainting in response.

Another one bites the dust.

Expressions are funny, aren''t they. Until you pointed it out I hadn''t really thought about it.

The list keeper really is going to have a hard time with all these changes lately, keeping her on her toes.

 

[Bliss]

Or how about: poppin'' out like buttercups? LOL. OK, that was lame.

FAIRY DUST TO EVERYONE!

And I pass along to you beautiful ladies...

THE ULTIMATE LIW SURVIVAL KIT:

1. Mom, sister and best friend for purposes of venting & endless speculating
2. Map to closest spa for manicures -- wet nails prevent you from tearing out your hair in frustration!

3. Pretty RHR -- to stare at and secretly put on your ring finger to see what the e-ring would look like!
4. Sunglasses -- to put on when you feel like giving your FI the evil eye
5. Gum -- to chew (better than biting your tongue) when someone asks when it''s your turn
6. Gym membership -- for sanity. ''Nuff said.
7. Padded room -- to bounce around in screaming WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN??!!!
8. iPod -- for power songs to inspire you to be a bigger person, confident & sexy
9. LOVE -- because the more you give, the more you grow
10. Gold stars -- for all the times you remember just how lucky you are to have an awesome guy who loves you. (I have a friend who just wants someone to love -- and it''s been 4 years since she''s found anyone special! So just think how lucky we are to have found The One?)

Gold stars for when you walk in feeling like you''re "all that" and confident in your relationship. Gold stars when your heart gets bigger and you wish the newly engaged happiness with all of your heart... because it''s all coming back to you in spades! Gold stars for when you realize that waiting is the greatest gift of all in a sense, because Life was giving you a little more time for you to get to know and love yourself. GOLD STARS FOR THE BADASS IN EVERY LIW, because you are all amazing!!!!

 

[Mannequin]

Congratulations to all you lucky ladies from me too!

Bliss, I love your LIW list! LOL

 

[Snickerdoodle]

"4. Sunglasses -- to put on when you feel like giving your FI the evil eye"

--Too funny! I love it!

You could add to the list: An oven mitt for when you feel like giving FI the finger!

 

[Bliss]

HAHAHAHA!

I love the oven mitt!!!!!!!

How about... pencil skirt for when you want to kick FI in the butt!

 

[Snickerdoodle]

Hee hee hee!

Or a pair of fabulous Christian Louboutins for when you feel like throwing a shoe at him.

Oh, better make those Louboutins stilettos for when you feel like running him out of your life.

(Speaking of fabulous shoes, I get to go see a sneak preview of the Sex and the City movie tonight! Yay!

Sorry, I just had to share that with some people who may actually care. I work with men and they just aren''t quite as thrilled about me going to see it as I am!)

 

[cutiegirl84]

I''ll jump on the bandwagon too--- Congrats Everyone!!


I''m a firm believer in the gum and wearing the RHR on my left hand I love this place!

 

[claireabelle]

Congratulations, ladies!!!! I loved reading all about your sweet stories!!

...now keep your fingers crossed for me, this weekend. And if there''s any left over fairy dust, send it over!!!

 

[luckynumber7]

yup, congratulations to everyone who got engaged recently.

i enjoy reading your sweet stories and love looking at your rings.

hopefully, you''ll be congratulating me soon as well. hehe

 

[honey22]

Me too - congrats to all you newly engaged ladies.

I havn''t been posting in LIW much - trying to curb my LIWitis. It''s not that I don''t love you all, but I needed a little time away from reading these threads and posting but I get a little worked up and I go over things in my mind too much sometimes. The ring has been in the house for three months (OMG, I think it''s actually 3 months today) and I have been going to little crazy, so I thought a little space would be good. I am trying not to vent in frustration and say silly things that I don''t mean that are written down forever for me to look back on say - what an idiot I felt like that.

So, I am still around, just lurking around the LIW page a bit more! And, trying not to get my hopes up as we are going on holidays in two days! Staying somewhere nice for three days just the two of us, then meeting up with his family. Yes, it sounds too perfect doesn''t it fellow LIWs, but I just REFUSE to get my hopes up again - it will happen in good time. Yeah honey, if you keep saying it, you will believe it right...................

Hope you guys are sharing the dust around hey!

Ditto I can''t keep up with them all so Congrats!!!
