Also, I decided to quit drinking Cokes cold turkey and I haven''t had any since Friday! I usually have 2-4 a day and I''m doing a-okay. I switched to iced coffee and it''s working so far. Yay me!

Can youplease explain to me how every, yes every freakin person I know who drinks coke by the litre is so skinny??? HOW do you do it?! I kid you not, I know 4-5 people irl who drink bucketloads of coke everyday and they''re all super slim!! As in, not an ounce of fat!

Heh, maybe we''re getting a lot of calories from soda and not fattening food?

My one side effect of kicking Coke is that I am STARVING since I don''t have my Cokes to give me empty calories! Or maybe the caffeine keeps the weight down? Or maybe people with high metabolisms drink regular Coke because they know they can get away with it? Those are my hypotheses!

Oh what the hell. I''m taking up smoking and drinking coke starting tomorrow!

Atleast I didn''t say snorting...

HA! Girl I was REAL skinny when I used to smoke. I mean one time my mom cried because I was so skinny! True story! Buuuuut I quit that too. I have no addictions left! I don''t even shop that much anymore!

I have never been so tired in my life.. Dealing with a sick grandmother, celebrating graduation for a cousin, and two different birthdays, as well as my parent''s anniversary has been more taxing then I could imagine. Oh, and I have to move out of my house this week.

I wish I could have someone sleep for me.

I bought my very first diamond, and I''m so excited about it!!!!

Beautiful, MTG!!! What are your plans for that lovely diamond you got there?

 

[AdiS]

Hey, guess who''s back!

How''s everyone doing?

More to the point, I just wanna say that I''ve had the craziest couple months in my life. I quit my job and I''m staying at home for a few months. The best decision I ever made. I''m feeling better than ever, sleeping like a baby for the first time in years and hubby and I are preparing to move into our very first own home in a month maybe. Hubby got a raise at the same time I decided to take some time before starting another job, so we''re just fine. Plus, my best friend is getting married and she''s pregnant and I''m going to be the maid of honour.

Feels good to be back though. I missed everyone here at PS!

 

[Loves Vintage]

Welcome Back, AdiS! I''m glad to hear that you are doing so well and are enjoying your time off. Have you selected your house already? I''d love to hear more about it. Pictures too, if you feel comfortable posting them.

Thanks, LV!

Well, it''s actually a condo, we live right in the heart of a capital city. We gave moving to the suburbs and buying a house a thought, but hubby and I were both born and raised in neighbourhoods close to the city centre and we decided we''d miss it if we are to leave it. So we found this pretty apartment, just a few blocks away from the place I grew up in, with french windows and a view and we snatched it!

I''d love to share pics, but there are still wooden floor boards and granite pieces and bags of cement and what not lying about. Right now even I''m afraid to look at it! lol Here''s hoping that next month I''ll be able to show off our home in all its glory!

 

[Loves Vintage]

AdiS - It sounds lovely.

Is it in an old building? I''d love to see some pictures when the time is right! My favorite tv program is House Hunters International. They follow buyers around while they look at three homes and then show which one they decide to buy. I just love seeing the different styles of homes in Europe and in Asia too!

 

[zoebartlett]

MTG -- I love the diamond!

Adi -- you''ve been busy!

 

[dragonfly411]

I seriously hate money.

 

[jaysonsmom]

I ate too much for lunch......AGAIN!

We do think it''s lovely, even more so as it''s the first home we own together! Happy times

The building is not really that old, which is just as good, as very little work was needed with plumbing, electricity and all.

I love these house hunting shows too, and since I''m from Europe, I''ve always been more curious and intersted in the USA style of houses and living arrangements. There are so many differences in the lifestyle and culture, which I find absolutely fascinating!

Zoe, hey, nice to see you again!

Yeah, the irony is I''ve actually been way busier after I quit my job and was supposed to get some rest. lol It''s all good though, the things I''m busy with right now make me happy so I''m not stressed-out in the least and I''m not complaining.

 

[Strawdermangrl]

I got told today by the barista at Starbucks.

me: "Can I have a venti unsweetened iced green tea with 3 splendas, please"
Barista "Classic iced green tea with 3 splendas"

* let me explain why I stress the UNSWEETENED thing, they automatically sweeten the tea and it adds like 300 calories, so I make sure to put an emphasis on it. *

me "Oh, ok, that means unsweeted with 3 splendas, right?"
Barista...raises hand in ''sha-nay nay'' fashion, cocks head to the side and practically YELLS at me " CLASSIC venti green iced tea with 3 splendas"
Me:

Then I am sure I blinked at him for a few seconds. "if that was your way of trying to train me to order it with the correct verbiage, it didn''t. I don''t respond well to loud noises and hand gestures, perhaps next time you can try and draw me a picture and make a cute little story to go along with it"
And? Like I am surprised, my order was wrong. LMAO.

 

[dragonfly411]

strawder - I''d report him to management. Someone did that to us at Moe''s once. The guy insisted that we call the salsa whatever name they use and my SO was like "SALSA, THANKS"

Hey Luckyshe,

I''m in conversations with Patrick Irla to put it into a one of his hydrangea pendant designs. I''m using my benitoites as accesnts. So excited!

Haha, I''m going to be the first Pricescope with an I3 clarity pendant!

 

[yssie]

FI got me an expert IS and light for my birthday!

 

[charbie]

I now think I have an unhealthy addiction to Snyders Hot Buffalo Wing pretzel pieces. They taste like real buffalo wings.

 

[laine]

My ring is done and I just wired the money for it! I can''t wait to see it!!!!

 

[charbie]

I just ruined a pineapple upside cake I was making for a cakewalk at work. I ruined it on "the flip" and for some reason it was too watery. Now I''m going to make lemon cupcakes instead.

This has been the thought in my head every day since last Friday/Saturday and probably will be until...... well, forever! I''m lucky and happy to be alive, and I''m very grateful to have a hand full of loving and caring sincere friends who have been with me through the worst that life has thrown at me.

LV -- I love House Hunters and House Hunters International (and really, anything on HGTV). I especially love seeing homes in other places.

 

[zoebartlett]

Adi -- I''m glad you''re happy and not stressed, even if you''re busier now. It''s funny how things work out, isn''t it?
