I just wanna say -- the random comments thread

This is bad. I'm bored and I've got an itch to buy something...

Me too - I'm all over ebay and rubylane like a bad rash.

Ridiculous, considering my newest purchase hasn't even arrived. Not sure what's put me in such a spending mood!

Wow, exactly me right now. I have been going ebay and rubylane crazy. I also have a purchase that hasn't arrived yet. Is your's FK's transitional? Mine is also an FK purchase. Supposed to arrive Monday. When is your's supposed to arrive?

Yes, it's her trannie - supposed to arrive at the latest on Tuesday. I probably won't get it til the weekend though, with the dismal post office hours here. Unfortunate...Thursday is my birthday and I would have liked it then.

What did you get from FK?

I bought her violet pear spinal necklace.

I forgot that you are in Australia and it takes much longer. FK sent mine on Thursday to arrive on Monday.

I have a confession.... I already bought two things on ebay today...

Did you give in to any temptations?

ETA: YAY almost birthday!!! You're going to be 29 right? How do you feel about that? I will be 28 in May...

Two things on ebay?! Naughty!

I rarely give in to temptation for small items. I have learned over the last year or two that I do not appreciate colored stones or small purchases very much. I prefer to save up for big things I truly adore, which means that they are infrequent purchases. A ring I posted in your thread about the beautiful pieces from that ebay vendor has wormed itself in my head and I'm thinking of trying to recreate it now. Maybe in a year or two...

I am also keeping a keen eye out for an Argyle stone that I both like, and can afford. I need to like it more than the pink I have now, as DH thinks two pink stones are unnecessary and would like me to sell the first if I purchase a second.

And yes, 29 this coming week. Feeling good about it, actually. I was unhappy around 26/27 as I tipped over the middle of my 20s and started going towards 30. Now I'm quite happy with my place in the world and reckon my 30s will be every bit as good as my 20s.

Yeah... I'll be 27 in June (day of the GTG actually) and I sorta feel like I have six more months to enjoy my youth (and yes, I know that's ridiculous!) I'm also getting behind on my Life Plan - I'm supposed to have a kid this year!

My unsolicited addendum..


Hope all the loot comes in soon!!

Oh yssie, I remember that feeling well, even down to the kid thing (think I'll be about 33 when I have one now, in the revamped version of my life plan!). I remember thinking, "Sweet Jesus, I'm officially a 20-something!" Just try to roll with it, it will pass. Hopefully the MASSIVE bonus of having a birthday GTG will help soothe the transition for you.

And I don't mean to be rude so I hope I do not offend you, but I had no idea you were in your 20s. You come across (to me) as having a lot of life wisdom, and I generally think of that as coming with age. What a great combo - the freshness of youth and the wisdom of age!

FK's necklace is actually my very first purchase other than my Ering. I don't ever buy anything either.

Which ring were you wanting to recreate? The sapphire one or the one with all the bezeled diamonds around the center?

I also don't mind turning 28. I remember I was freaking out when I was 24 and was going to turn 25.

Your necklace is going to be beautiful.

That one! I can't stop thinking about it and all of its OEC goodness. But vying for prime position in my brain is FK's Holy Grail. There's a little voice whispering to not bother with piddly purchases that sap funds away from getting a giant, beautiful, solitaire OEC like her's.

Jeez. How many large diamonds does one girl need? Poor Poppy, don't tell her I'm having such thoughts.

Oh wow, that's gonna be quite the project! A big OEC and then all those tiny OECs! It's gonna be a stunner tho! No one else on PS is gonna have it!

Oh and I toooootally understand about FK's OEC, when she got it, I think I was the most jealous I have ever been in my life! Because she got a honker of an OEC but especially because she got the deal of the freaking century! I long for her OEC... There's a possibility I might snap and kidnap her at the GTG. You wanna join me in the kidnapping?

Oh and I won't tell Poppy, cuz Poppy will be in sunny Mexico with me!

I'm so hoping I can go!! Any realistic chance at all that you'll make it?

Oddly enough I've been right on track so far - engaged at 22, married at 24, by the numbers 27 seems like a pretty good time to have a baby! But... given that I'm having a hard time adjusting to having a dog around... reality disagrees, obviously!

Now I'm wondering if your Life Plan accounted for moving across the globe

And thank you, I think?

Sorry to interrupt the world's longest quote series

But this has been bugging me; how tiny are these rings that people are selling on DB? I see rings sized 2.75, 3, 3.5

How tiny are these people?

I have worn a size 7 or 8 ring since I weighed 108 lbs, so are these like mini people?

Not that that's bad (mini people, yay!), but Lordy!

Am I ginormous and just don't realize it?

I'm not a mini person...I don't think!

I wear a 3-3.25. My grandmother had such small hands that I wear her wedding band on my pinky! So technically, our family tree appears to be getting fatter fingers over time.

True confessions time:

I'm watching The Bachelor - and I'm enjoying it!

 

[SB621]

heheh well enjoy your 20's while you have them! I turn 30 in mid june but I'm celebrating in Vegas the week ofthe GTG with all my girlfriends. I want to embrace my 30's and have it be even better then my 20's.

 

[justginger]

I sincerely doubt I will be able to make it this year, yssie. Perhaps next year, when I have more of an idea of what to expect in terms of ACTUAL studying requirements (Do I need to go to all the lectures, since they're available online? How much study time do I need a week? Etc.).

My life plan definitely did NOT include a move to Australia - and for the first few years it was a decision I regretted immensely. Now I can see it was a true blessing in disguise. I can't imagine what sort of a person I would be if I had remained Stateside - not someone I like as much as my current self, I don't think.

Sorry to go completely off topic (or is that possible in this thread), but Ginger can I contact you offline about New Zealand and Austrualia? I'm planning a trip there for next winter and I would love your input on stuff to do and places to see. Tips etc. Do you mind?

Interesting! That is the next big trip that I would like to take within the next 3-4 years. Hope you get lots of good info!

Of course, Sarah. I still have a listing on LT for a black opal, you can use it to email me directly.

I am working full time, taking two college level accounting classes, AND the Becker CPA review all at the same time. The only feeling that sums it up right now is OVERWHELMED. And I don't even NEED to be a CPA. WTF am I thinking?

Circe – I can’t thank you enough for that! Seriously, I’ve been really doubting my good judgment lately over piling all this on myself (for no good reason!). Plus, there's another component to it that I might actually do thread on, about the idea of career shifting at 42. God, I feel old even typing that... Anyway, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Cozystitches – yes! I can wear it with my tiara on days when I need that double boost!

I think if you career shift to accounting you will love it and you would be awesome!

I just want to say that the news that Canada has sold Harry Winston to Swatch is very upsetting.

Thanks for your good wishes . I have a big family and we were all crying together today .I dont know how I drove my kids to shool , I was not aware of my surroundings .my father was a very independent person .maybe it was good that he went this way instead of needing help in older age .

 

[VRBeauty]
