--------The Ladies In Waiting List--------

[bee*]

Oh my gosh, hi blueroses-I was only thinking about you yesterday and wondering how things turned out for you

Don''t feel guilty at all. I''m sorry to hear that things didn''t work out in the end, but I''m glad that you have a bunch of great friends and are going out! Keep us updated!

 

[decodelighted]

BLUEROSES!!!!!!

Oh its so good to hear from you! Even though we never "met met" I''ve thought of you *often* since you''ve been away. I''m strangely relieved just to know you''re "okay" -- does that makes sense? Wishing you THE BEST & much luck & love in the holiday season & in life in general!!

(and selfishly wishing some of this "dating" stuff brings you back here sooner than later

)

 

[amyg]

Wow, I haven''t been on here in forever either but got the update from Blueroses in my email because hers was one I wanted to follow! So glad to hear you are doing well! Breaks up are so hard, and it does take along time to get over them and move on. I can totally understand how being on PS all the time could make it worse!! I have been married for 2 1/2 years now and we just had baby #2!! We got pregnant on our honeymoon with the 1st! Anyway...I wish you the best, and I think I''m going to have to start visiting more often!!

 

[mrscushion]

Hi all,

I would like to be added to the list! I''m mrscushion (obviously *not* a mrs -- was a typo and now I can''t change it

).

Thank you!

Thank you!

Welcome! You can message the mods to change your name. All you need to do is click the "Report Concern" button and then explain your situation, and they''ll get back to you.

Please let me know if you do change your name though, so the list doesn''t get too confusing!

 

[Erin]

Yay! Blueroses! I think of you quite often, and like Deco, am glad to hear you''re still out there.
I understand your need for time away, but I''m also glad you came back to say hello!

Boystown? Chicago?

Don''t wait so long to visit again. You''ve been missed

 

[allycat0303]

Blueroses,

I am so sad that I missed your post! Think of you often when I read posts on this site. Wishing you the very best, and I KNOW you''ll be back one day as an LIW. Keep us updated.

Ally

 

[Skippy123]

Blueroses, awesome to see you!!!

 

[appletini]

blueroses, I''ve missed you! I have officially subscribed to you so I won''t miss you the next time you pop in. Wishing you all the best in love and life! Please stop by from time to time and keep us posted on what''s going on with youl

 

[Aloros]

Blueroses! I don''t think I posted much when you were on here, but I always followed your posts and wondered about what happened to you. Like someone else already said, you are such an amazing and strong lady, and I''m sure you''ll be back on here again as a LIW someday soon. Heck, back when you posted I was LIW for someone who couldn''t seem to get it together, and now I''m getting married to a guy who CAN.

You just never know.

.....Helloooo? Is this thing on?

After TWO YEARS I decided to pop back to say hello. I''m sure a lot of the old regulars from my 2004-2006 PS days aren''t here anymore, but I''ve very often thought about coming back for an update, but just couldn''t do it.

The long story short is that after a decade in my relationship, almost two years on the LIW list (which was a blast, and kept me sane!), once we got engaged, everything fell apart pretty quickly. It was just too painful and fresh to come back to spread the news to the wonderfully supportive online friends here, and I had a lot of moving on to do. Anyway, things are good now. It took a good year to really begin to feel over it, and to stop believing we''d someday get back together, but we are actually sort of friends now--how could we not be after over a decade. After we split we shared custody of our little doggy Mattie who went to doggy heaven in June of 2007 at 15. I helped the ex adopt a new dog last fall. He (the ex, not the dog!) is just not cut out for the kind of relationship I wanted (and he''d convinced himself he also did)--for a variety of his own personal reasons, he just had a lot of work to do on himself and it wasn''t ever going to be right. I''ve been doing a lot of acting work in town, mostly theatre(am in the midst of a great Christmas production right now) and have filled my time with lots of teaching too. Since one show last Spring I have a whole ''gay posse'' of guys (I live in boystown!) and having wonderfully supportive friends around has made this transition to single-gal-land all the better. Have dated a few guys, but no one amazing, yet. Feeling strong and myself--it just took a while. I still love sparkly things, but it was the best thing for me to put aside my PS/diamond/engagement obsession and step away from the computer. As amazing as the support from WAY too many posters to name was, my CONSTANT presence here on PS wasn''t the healthiest thing for me. I loved it, but I think it also deepened my depression surrounding my situation.

BUT...that said, this site is an marvelous resource, and I wish lots of loving and sparkly proposal moments to the gals on the list. (My Dad used a PS discount with Whiteflash to get my mom a fabulous diamond circle pendent for their 40th wedding anniversary!) It''s not the top of MY list now...someday. So, there''s the update. I''ve felt guilty for not coming back, but know that life goes on--I bet a lot of MY LIW peers are mommies now! (Since I went away I have a new niece too!)

Peace and Love this holiday season...

xoxo

Blueroses, I have MISSED you, dear! Reading your posts was always enjoyable, and whether you knew it or not, you have helped SO MANY LIWs. We recently had a GTG in Dallas where we talked about you, and wondered where you had gone.

It''s so good to "hear your voice" and I do hope you stick around for a bit.

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh Blueroses,
I have missed you so!!! It''s great to hear from you!!!

xo,
Lisa

 

[Efe]

Blueroses, it is so good to "see" you again. I have wondered many times how you were, and am just so happy that you have come back.

 

[blueroses]

Aw, ladies--thank you! It''s easy to see how I spent so much time here with all of these wonderfully supportive online voices! I''ll come back and write more in depth...it''s late! Here''s a blurry kissy shot of my new niece
xoxo

[diamondseeker2006]

Wow, a voice from the past! I was pretty new here at the time you were last posting, BR, but I followed your story. Like many others, I wondered what had happened. I am glad to hear that you are doing well now, and I hope you stop by more often!

 

[~*Alexis*~]

I remember giving you the "honorary" number one spot when I was list keeper and I do think of you often to see what you were up to...sorry things didn''t work out but there is a ROCK out there with your name on it...even if its for the RHR!!!

Keep in touch!!

now we just need to hear from Manderine....

 

[rnbwsktles]

[stephbolt]

I guess I''m technically supposed to post here to be added to the list, so please add me

 

[ladypirate]

Freke, I noticed that you left Ms.Goggles off of the list--she asked to be added in another thread.

*Hugs* Good luck this weekend.

 

[ladypirate]

Also, #94 is "SuiteLady", not "SuiteGirl".

Hey, just stopping in to say hi and to fill everyone in on where I am now.

The BF and I are trying to work things out. We started over from the beginning, which meant not living together, going out on dates and all of that. Things are going pretty well so far. Trust is a horrible thing to lose in a relationship but I''m hoping we will be okay (I''m talking to my mom a lot--my father has cheated on my mother but they''ve worked things out and have been married for nearly 29 years).

 

[purelily]

Hi Freke!

can you add me to the list?

Ooooh. And i LOVE your wedding shoes. Gorgeous!

Hey there, taovandel, thanks so much for checking in! Glad you guys are working on things and taking it the speed you need to right now.

 

[mariewest]

Is it bad that even though I don''t post as often as I would like, I check "The List" a lot in hopes of moving up (I''m at the bottom at number 102.) Haha, I keep thinking that SO will propose quicker if I''m higher up. Silly girl, I know.

 

[lasscreative]

Number 39 signing off here!!!

Engaged 12.12.08

I loved the stay!

Aww, she is beautiful--what a smile!

We don''t know each other but you''re rather famous ''round here--quite a lot of people have been missing you and hoping for the best for you, my dear, so I feel a bit like I know you already! Welcome back, and I''m glad to hear that you are taking good care of yourself.

Got engaged on 11/29! I had a short life on the list lol

Congrats! Story? Ring photos?

Sorry, no photos yet. I took a few with my dads camera since he has a much nicer one than mine. I didn''t like how they came out though and want to try again. I should''ve posted one of those though...wasn''t thinking!

The story is pretty simple. He made up an excuse for us to visit our college campus (only about 15 minutes from his house) and we walked around a bit. When we first met (I a junior, he a senior) he used to walk with me from our class back to my dorm. We would spend a lot of time talking outside each time. We did this for the entire fall semester before we really started dating (I count our anniversary as the first day we met again in the spring semester and had our first very casual date.) I called him the "lost puppy" that always followed me home, lol. So this is how he proposed. He wanted to retrace our path from where our class was back to my dorm, and then he took me to a bench next to the small lake on campus and proposed there. He said something along the lines of (cant believe I forgot!) "After 4 years of being your lost puppy, will you marry me?" He picked that particular weekend because the campus was deserted for the holiday and he knew we''d be alone.
