No HW earrings for me for the time being?

[Harriet]

Sundial,

Felicitations! And bon voyage! Which ships have you been on?

We've read cruisecritic.com thoroughly and the reviews are mostly glowing.

I have only gone on two, and one was the Disney Wonder which was lovely for what it is. Really did not have high expectations of it and it was great. Of course, we had the nicest suite on the whole ship, large and elegant, with room to move, so I was not terribly unhappy or claustrophobic, which has happened to me when I spend a while in a small area...with kids, cruises did not always seem to be a great idea, but now that they are older it might be fine.

 

[Harriet]

DF,
What about the other cruise?

P.S. Maybe I can have jackets made that look like the HW loops?

 

[Sundial]

We''ve sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Norwegian and didn''t really like the crowds and lines. We really love Regent Seven Seas and recommend the line highly. I''m glad you found all the scoop on cruisecritic!

We would have preferred Crystal and Regent, but the timing isn''t right. If we like our first cruise, we''d like to go on Silverseas sometime.

We went on a small ship that Club Med had built in summer of 1990 and it was lovely. Went on our honeymoon all around the French and Italian Riviera...and stayed in France before boarding the ship. It had a shallow draft, you could do watersports of the back which lowered and it could go into many ports because it was not so deep.

I think you could take the pearls, make a loop shaped thing in diamonds, put it on a wire and hang the pearl in it.

Bring nausea bands for sure with you, and some sort of sea sickness pill for your guy!

 

[Harriet]

I''m wondering about making a loop jacket to use with both my new diamond stud and my new pearls. I''ve outgrown the pearls I''m recycling.

 

[Harriet]

I just spoke with WF about diamond loop jackets to use with my studs. If the price is ok, I may be able to get earrings and a cruise! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

 

[Skippy123]

crossing fingers and toes. heeheee

 

[Harriet]

Thanks sweetie! I''m still waiting for the WF quote.

Now that''s the kind of creativity we like around here!!! Getting everything we want. I hope it works out.

 

[diamondfan]

I am ALL for that!

 

[Harriet]

Heehee.
Maybe I rationalising, but would the jackets be more versatile than the HW loops? I could use them with pears and other gemstones, for instance.

 

[Miranda]

Great idea! I think I like them better with a larger ''top'' stone anyway. Yay!!! I''m excited for you!

 

[Harriet]

Another reason. Yay!

Harriet,
You are such a bad influence. I was thinking diamond thoughts all day, so when my husband came home I said I need some motivation to study for the CPA exam. I asked him if I passed could I upgrade my diamond. He said yes. I can't wait, so I better pass this exam. I can't wait to see your diamond jackets. I think that is a great idea; so versatile!!! PS is very bad.heeheee

Oh I wanted to say a big hi during Johns talk but I was nervous to do it so BIG HI now; have a great evening. Talk to you tomorrow.

[diamondfan]

Miss Skippy, what did you have in mind? Good luck on your test!!!!

 

[Skippy123]

Oh gosh. You guys make me laugh.

2.2ish carat mine is a 1.5 right now. I so love Lynn B's and Mara's plus looking at all the upgrades I thought I need some motivation to make me want to pass the exam, right?!?!?

DF, thank you; you are one of the sweetest ever!!! I know your vibes will work Ms. DiamondFan.

I am sending vibes for you Harriet

 

[Harriet]

Is the exam tomorrow? If so, good luck!

 

[Skippy123]

No. Thanks though. Sorry for the hijack. You guy just got me bling happy

 

[Harriet]

No problem. When is the big day?

 

[Skippy123]

It will happen over the next 4 months; one test a month. I am taking the worst one first; I think the other ones won't be as bad.

How much studying did you do for the bar exam?

 

[Harriet]

2 months. Uggh.

 

[Skippy123]

how long ago was that? I probably made you sad with all the non diamond talk. LOL. sorry

 

[Harriet]

Not long enough to not be traumatised.
