Oh no... that stinks!!! I hope they''re able to get it to you then. My ring is suppsed to be finished at Ritani sometime between tomorrow (11/19) and Friday (11/21), then will be overnighted to Pearlman''s, then overnighted to me. Soooo, I''m having it shipped to my mom''s work since I''ll be in MI on Saturday and no matter what I''ll have it by Monday at the latest.

Thanks Dani! I''m excited to see your new band.

I was bad though and I did buy something.

It doesn''t really sparkle though. I bought a plain rose gold band on ebay just for fun and because it was so cheap. Shouldn''t have done it but oh well. I bid, left the house, came back and whoops, it was mine!

So are you ''waiting'' kelli? Need some ice cream to help tide you over?

Here you go.

LS

Thanks LS!!

I am waiting on all the horrible house stuff to get done so we can MOVE!! Buying a house is SUCH a hassle! It will DEFINITELY be worth it though. I was waiting for that rose gold band to come but they sent me white instead. I liked it so I kept it and asked that they also sell me the rose gold one for the same price, so hopefully by tomorrow I''ll have a nice pair of plain bands to stack. They''re silk fit bands and the one I have is so smooth and comfy to wear. I know they''re not sparkly but I really like them!

So sorry to hear about your prolonged waiting Dani!

I know that''s terrible!

How''s your pendant coming along LS? I didn''t miss it, did I?

 

[geckodani]

Yay for stacking bands Kelli!

And laurel your wait is almost over.

I - am bummed.

I''m glad WF has such attention to detail, and that they didn''t send me a flawed ring, but dang I feel like I''ve been waiting FOREVER for my set to be complete!!! *sigh*

LS - Yeah, what about the pendant?

 

[LostSapphire]

Hello Kelli & Gecko

Yes, I have the pendant, plus 2ctw studs which just arrived yesterday as a surprise gift from Sweet DH related to the info below..

They are my "15th birthday present" for November 8, which is the 15th anniversary of a brain tumor surgery I had done (Miracles do happen!).

I haven't been bragging about them because the 'blingfest' is somewhat tainted by the fact that I've just received a diagnosis of a possible 2nd brain tumor. The docs are now trying to confirm whether I've grown myself another one like the first, or a new, 'improved' version.

Geez, my medical file has to be brought in on a truck these days!

I haven't posted this in Hangout or Health because I don't know if I'm ready for the onslaught of postings that may result....so I'm just gonna be quiet here over in coloured stones, if that's ok with you guys.

So thank you for asking, yes I have them on and they are wonderful. Funny thing though, when a Neurosurgeon tells you that kind of news, the amount of bling you're wearing means squat.

Keeping my head up but damn it's hard.
LS

 

[geckodani]

Oh LS. ((HUGS)) Hugs, thoughts and prayers coming your way. If, God forbid, it is another tumor, you''ve beaten it once, and technology, science and medicine have come a long, long way in the past 15 years. ((HUGS)) I can''t imagine how you must be feeling right now.

 

[misspinky]

Oh LS, I''m so sorry. Keep your head up my dear. I know that all the lovely sparkly things in the world mean little in comparison to your health and well being, but hopefully they lift your spirits in the darkest of times. I''ll keep you in my prayers--don''t lose faith because miracles happen everyday

 

[laurel25]

LS - I''m so sorry to hear about your medical issues. You''ll be in my thoughts & prayers.

 

[stepcutnut]

LS-you are in my thoughts and prayers!

 

[LD]

Oh LS sending you huge amounts of ((((hugs)))). Try to stay as positive as you can but we''re here if you need us. xxxx

 

[LostSapphire]

Thank you everyone. I''m trying....is there a smiley emoticon face for someone with half a smile and half a frown?

That''s what''s happening with my face: half of it is frozen so I can''t smile straight any more. hmmmm maybe this one

LS

 

[swimmer]

LS, you have such great spirit and attitude, qualities even more impressive than your blueberry. And that is really saying something. Sending you good dust.

 

[dancingflame]

LS- Our thoughts are with you. Keep your chin up!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Aw LS, you are in my thoughts and prayers are coming your way!

 

[LostSapphire]

OK my friends....go back to having FUN

Can SOMEBODY serve me up some ice cream though?

LS

 

[geckodani]

 

[laurel25]

Here''s another one!

 

[LostSapphire]

Thank you Laurel and Gecko.

*burp*

LS

 

[poshpepper]

LS just wanted to send some good thoughts your way, you are a big asset to PS and I will be thinking of you

Hope you can enjoy your new sparklies soon!

 

[LostSapphire]

thank you posh

I'm doing ok. Just trying to sort out rush MRI and neurosurgeon's appointments. The pain is excruciating but not all the time....working on that....

The new bling is here. I just tried photographing it, but it came out kaka. I think I'll wait to get some outdoors.

In the meantime, I'll just have ice cream.
LS

 

[Kelli]

I''m really sad to hear your news LS and I''ll be thinking of you a lot.

 

[geckodani]

they all turned out looking just awful....then I realized it was the indoor lighting.

I *promise* to get my parka on (it's chilly up here in Canuck-Land) and take outdoor shots this weekend.

I hear you all on the winter stuff.... it was 3 here in MN overnight! 3!!! Not 30, or 23, or even 13, 3!!! Brrrrrrrrrr......

 

[geckodani]

Winter is the devil.

 

[dancingflame]

Yay! To alleviate the waiting process on my e-ring, I've been very, very naughty. Let's say I had to order more gem jars to hold my new pretties.
