I bought myself a cartier trinity today, for a significant birthday ... in Paris!

Love it...I did the same last year...sans the BD excuse! Which Paris location??

cheers--Sharon

I didn't get the trinity but I got the Cartier Love for a significant birthday. I adore it and it hasn't come off since. For my next significant birthday I would love to get another one- though plain YG so it won't be too matchy. I have a feeling if I try it on in the store it will switch from a want to a need as well ugh only problem is I'm sure it will be at least 25% more expensive then it is now by the time that birthday milestone comes around.

DF congrats on persuing your yoga instructor!!! That is awesome!

SB - Thank you for the link to Vivint. I am going to be showing it to SO TONIGHT!

MinousBijoux and Yssie - thank you for the support. Do not apologize, any support is helpful!

To expand a tiny tiny bit, someone died. That person's children are now trying to gather his belongings, which is fine, but they sent a tow person to our home this weekend while we were not home, and without us giving them our address, which is not fine!
They were looking for a borrowed tractor, which we returned to SO's mom's house last night and have told them we did. We are expressing that we do not want to be involved in any way, and they are not to contact us anymore. We'll be putting up no trespassing signs today, and I told SO, front fence line and a gate are now HUGE priorities. Bigger than finishing our bathrooms. I am just reeling. I was so anxious last night, every noise made me jump. My acupuncturist provided me with bach flower sleeping remedy which I finally went down and took and I was out like a light after that. I'm trying to seek natural ways to remedy my anxiety and sleeplessness. Bach therapy seems to be helping, as well as acupuncture, and I'm on daily yoga as I am SIGNED UP TO BECOME A YOGA INSTRUCTOR and that seems to be helping as well (sorry for bad grammar with the smilies). We had really hoped that our weekend vacation (which was planned for months) would be helpful, but it really got ruined by this new nonsense. We were trying to be nice and helpful, and they violated the little trust we had in them. We're just exhausted. I hope that this will be the end of any involvement for us.

In that hope, after this post, I'm posting all positive stuff. So let's talk about how I get to be a yoga instructor!

Whoo HOoooo! Congratulations DF!
You will be an amazing yoga instructor!

As for the rest of your post, I'm sorry it is still going on. I wondered if it were something like that in which case I can see the whole family having a LOT to work through. The man's family is probably dealing with their own emotions right now. I hope they are able to work through their own stuff and come to a healthy place. BUT -- they need to leave your family alone.
Do get that security system ASAP. That was one of my big healing moments. It is well worth the expense and any time off to get it put in. The one we had put in this house took less than a day to get up and working. (LOVE the monitored smoke detector too -- adds about $10/month but saves us about $6/month on house insurance and it is wonderful knowing our animals are safe while we're out)
You may also want to check into security cameras. Entire sets go on sale for $150 or so (6 cameras plus all other supplies needed). You might put them at the gate to your front and back yard and then at each of the entry doors so that you know who is there without having to go out.

Thanks guys, I am SO excited about the instruction course. It is the 200 accredited course. I will probably do the further advanced course once I finish up with my degree. The center is only 15 mins from home, and they* have free Friday classes I'll be attending. They are an Ayurvedic center, and offer cooking classes as well as other wellness programs. A friend of our family is finishing her acupuncture licensing and will be opening a center for cancer patients and wants me to teach yoga there!

For the security systems, I didn't realize insurance can be affected by smoke detectors and what not? I like the idea of having mobile access to the system. Also, SO's grandparents had given us a gate monitor, which alerts you when anyone comes up the drive, BUT they seem to be VERY sensitive to motion.... like... they pick up if a lizard walks by. Has anyone had experience with these? What is the best way of using them. We plan to put a camera on both front and back of the house I believe. I'll feel much better once we have these things in place.We have the dogs, but let's face it, they growl at the armadillos. They'd growl at the wrong kind of shadow. They growl at a squirrel. I can't place my faith fully in them growling.

One of the packages for vivent comes with a camera so you might want to hold off on purchasing anything till you decide what system you will be purchasing.

Yssie I will totally start sending you light tampons if you want. I stock up when they go on sale at the comissary for $1 for 18. I'll send you a box full if you want I'll just buy the light/ regular mix and steal all the regular outs and transfer the lights in. I knew I should have been involved in politics. I'm amazing at this stuff

Send 'em on over!!
I'll pay the shipping - avoid the trip to CVS and the ten minutes glaring murderously at the clerk ringing up nine boxes (yeah, I bought everything they had because I always run out at the most inconvenient time and you'd be glaring too if you'd just dropped $55 on the things)

Or was that a manifesto promise?

Of course I was being serious!!!!! Oh ye of little faith! Next time they go on sale I will grab 10 packs for you and don't worry about shipping! I still owe you for the earrings!

I've always wondered about this as well. I mean, really? As Kenny would say, people vary. Their tampons should too.

WHEW! PS is back!

Or was it just me who was unable to connect last night?

 

[Cozystitches]

Yes, it was down. There's a post at the top talking about it. I was so sad...lol had to suffer with Pinterest humor last night.

I resorted to facebook... went searching for PS'ers to see if anybody was chatting about it being down and instead, re-connected with a former PS poster! But it was a bit of an awakening to see how discombobulated I felt not being able to check up on PS!

 

[justginger]

PS was down all day - I got so much studying done for my immunology mid-semester test next week, lol.

 

[dragonfly411]

I honestly didn't even know. We went to a local pizzaria and I had the best bbq chicken pizza EVAR! I did laundry and read a little then we TRIED to go to bed, but spent the evening being further harassed. Police report now filed. Here's how I feel -

I am going to make skillet chicken lasagna tonight hopefully. The recipe looks so yum!

My kitchen cabinets look like quilts with all of the color swatches painted on them. I thought I was being so smart by wanting to go with white, yanno, nice neutral that you can accessorize any which way. Yeah, well, since when did white become so complicated? A gazillion different shades that change depending on where in the darn kitchen the light falls most/least. Sheesh. I wanted simple. What happened to simple? The guys at the Sherwin-Williams store call me to check if I'm ok if I haven't been in for 2 days to get more samples. How sad is that.

I'm liking the "Dancing WIth the Stars" cast - I think it's going to be a fun season!

Assuming at least a few of them can learn to dance reasonably well, that is!

LOL. Well, I've got a few samples coming in the mail so I can check out the color of the copper and brushed nickle and test them against the frontrunner white. The knobs & pulls range in the $18 to $28 range so depending on which I like best, I'll either be able to buy a killer 4c tsav this year or wait until next.

I am completely addicted to the UK show 'The Inbetweeners'! DH and I saw 2 seasons on Netflix Instant, and we bought the 3rd season on Amazon video. We also watched the movie on Netflix. OMG! I have literally NEVER laughed as hard as I did while watching this show. HYSTERICAL stuff!!! Now I am eagerly waiting for the 2nd movie to come out!

SB - am I old enough to be your mother?? YIKES!!!

Well, little lady... I hope your room is tidy and your homework is done....if not, no friends over this weekend until your school work is finished!

 

[pandabee]

Bill Nye?? on Dancing with the Stars? That's so crazy!! He came to speak at my school a couple years ago. It was so awesome. Maybe I will try to keep up with it this year. The only other season I was interested in was when Kristi Yamaguchi was on it but she seemed to have quite the upper hand having performed figure skating routines haha.
