[karpouzi]

Hi everyone!

misskitty, would you please add me to the list?

 

[CourtLynB]

woooo, already moved up 3 spots!!!! Let''s keep it going!

As a side note and I don''t know what this means, but the BF keeps joking around and fumbling for a ring everytime we''re in any place remotely romantic!! He did it last night when we took a walk after dinner down by some docks. Soooo not funny!

 

[Bagel_Bandit]

Hi! I''m still here, but I''ve reverted back to lurker mode. I started at #115 on the list and am now at #30. Please, keep me on - I''m curious to see what number I''ll reach before SO proposes. Thanks!

~Bagel

So glad to see you checking in! You may absolutely stay on the list

 

[crossmyfingers]

I''m at #36 now, and I''m kind of hoping I don''t make it above #30. And there are several ladies above me who might get bumped off soon. Maybe I''ll be at #30 sooner than I thought... *and* maybe I''ll be off the list completely before I thought!

 

[Collee]

I enjoyed my stay but can you remove me from the list? Somewhat ironic as I am currently #67 and was proposed to with a 1.67ct AVC. Proposal date was 3/27/10.

Thanks for all your hard work, MissKitty and sending all the LIW lots of proposal dust!

List Update Time!!

Big congrats to FutureMrsMRS (#101) and sapphirepulse (#114)! All the best to you and your new FIs!

Belated congrats to pickydiamondlover, who got engaged back in November! We missed the news in LIW, but it turns out that she posted in SMTR

.

Welcome HappyNewLife, entitledpearl22, hisspecialk, jenlev, and anela!

And....it''s spring cleaning time. If you''ve got a date next to your name, it means that you''ve got a week to check in (anywhere on PS) before you''re dropped from the list. No hard feelings, just trying to keep the list neat and tidy (and, let''s be honest, it''s been a bit too long since I''ve cleaned this place up). As always, anyone who is dropped due to inactivity may rejoin the list when they return to PS!

The LIW List

1. Galateia
2. nebe 09/17/09
3. Dreamgirl
4. Lexie
5. IloveSpinel

I''m still lurking around.

No progress to speak of though!

 

[isaku5]

Nebe, I''m so happy to see you''re still here! It''s been awhile and I''ve missed you.

Even if there are no ''relationship updates'', is there any other news about school, family or what you''ve been up to?

 

[Jessie702]

wow......i cant believe im at number19!! Just checking in.........

 

[luckynumber]

woo hoo, i''m at 54!

i would really like to break into the 20s at least, as that will mean some the long-timers have gone off the list

 

[mickeyva]

Hi! I''ve enjoyed my time on the list... But, can you please remove me? I got engaged on Saturday morning (4/11/10). Thanks!!

 

[Luckyeshe]

Holy moley!!!!! LuckyesheFSIL is still waiting for her ring. Unfortunately she knows that the ring has been made so it''s not as big of a surprise anymore. But, that may be the reason my brother has not proposed yet. He may be waiting until she somewhat forgets about it to actually propose so that it would be a surprise again. So I am hoping she''ll be off the list at some point this year!

 

[Loz88]

Could you please take me off the list, my now Fiancé proposed last night.....

 

[misskitty]

List update time![/b]

Lots of movement in this update

I''m so happy to remove Collee (#67), mickeyva (#112), and Loz88 (#63) from the list! Congratulations on your engagements, ladies! (and, of course, if you haven''t already, please post a thread telling us your story!)

Welcome, karpouzi! I hope your stay is short and sweet

Thank you to everyone who''s been checking in! I''m glad to see that some of you are still lurking around the list. Those of you with dates next to your name, you''ve still got until the 14th before the list gets cleaned up, so come in and say hi!

hi everyone! Misskitty, can you please add me on the list?

We got the diamond 2 weeks ago. My bf is ordering the Tacori setting tomorrow.

Now, I''ll just wait for the "surprise" proposal.

Love your bird, Beezy! What is his/her name??

 

[hisspecialk]

Whoa!! Look @ Me!! #119 already!!! YIPPS!!

 

[beezygal]

thx elle! Her name is BB.

She used to have a mate. They look exactly the same, but that one died a few years ago.

 

[dawnabee]

Hiya to my companions in waiting,

Please add me to the list too!

I''ve been lurking on PS for a couple months now to get an idea of the kind of ring I want and its been super helpful! This is my first newbie post so I hope I''m doing it right and I also plan to be engaged by October 2010 so I will post more and keep updated.. Who knows what will happen its all so exciting!!

Good luck to all
Thanks,
Dawn

 

[merbear1215]

Hello!!

This is my first post (and I have actually only been frequenting the site for about a week since my friend at work suggested it).

I can be added to the ladies in waiting list! I love the idea.

Can''t wait to get to know you all better!

Nebe, I''m so happy to see you''re still here! It''s been awhile and I''ve missed you.

Even if there are no ''relationship updates'', is there any other news about school, family or what you''ve been up to?

Hi Miss 5!

I missed you too! Ohhhh jeez, what hasn''t happened?! My nephew is 7 (omg!), my parents live together again but didn''t remarry (?), I just found out I can get my B.A. in nursing for $0 and my M.S. in Midwifery for $90k from Yale; annnnnnnnnd... in the last nine months I moved out of the condo (milk for free, anyone?), in with my uncle (a quadriplegic, to work as his PCA), got MRSA from him, and moved back in with FH. We''re currently riding the domestic bliss train, but no ring to speak of. He does talk about it a little bit though, more than I do. I''m pretty focused on just going back to school rather than babbling on about it- lol.

How are you? Your family? What have I missed on PS? Anything juicy?

Hi Nebe!!!

It''s soooo good to hear from you!!!

You have LOTS of news!

First, the B.A. in nursing for $0.

Loving that! Unless the M.S. in Midwifery pays one heck of a salary, I''d pass on paying $90k even if it is Yale, JMHO.

I''m so glad you moved out of the *free milk condo* for a while to help out your uncle, but kind of surprised that you moved back in. Unless that boy was showing me a blingalicious ring with my name on it, I''d be moving on to greener pastures, JMHO though.

I''m not surprised at your parents getting back together, but not remarrying because it''s just an easier relationship without re-doing vows etc. I doubt that they *want more children* so what''s the point? This way they can have fun, share memories etc. without the ''strings''.

A few things have happened here, but nothing too dramatic. DH and I went to Cancun, Mexico for a week in February and had a great time.

Our older granddaughter is doing well in her first year at high school. This week she''s slacking off, though, for a vacation in Samana, D.R. with her parents - 5* all inclusive - tough to take, right

? Last September she stayed with us while her parents went to Jamaica. We were all good with that, and our DIL has asked whether we''d be willing to look after Steph again. I''m not sure this time around because now she has a puppy love sweetie

which might cause some ''issues''.

April 6th was our 47th wedding anniversary. No big celebration - we just went out for a lovely dinner....

That''s all I can think of for now, but do check in more often, okay?

That''s all I can think of for now, but do check in more often, okay?

The M.S. from ANYWHERE will get me about $75k in the door in my area, but if I were to relocate to a larger city I think the name may get me significantly more down the road. I went to an open house for a more local program that ran about $30k but is not eligible for Stafford loans and won''t carry the same prestige. I''ve got time anyway. We''ll see!

When I first moved I thought *seriously* about moving on, but it really didn''t feel right- and we ended up back together. When I got sick, he just sort of scooped me up and took care of me. At the end of the day he drives me nuts, but he makes me happy. Our four year is in August and if nothing happens by then, I may begrudgingly reevaluate. It''s a huge choice to make, complicated by the fact that we love eachother and we know we live together so happily. My parents situation doesn''t really surprise me either. They were married for 30 years, so they sort of don''t know how to live without eachother. My nephew is taken much better care of when they''re together, so it just sort of works.

Congrats on your (almost) Gold! Did you exchange any exciting gifts, or was the Feb vacation and dinner it? Are you planning anything for your 50th?? I would be so excited! It''s nice that your children took their daughter with them this time! My parents took my sister, me and my (then) BF on a cruise in 2005 and I was super happy to go, so I can imagine how she feels. Be careful about that boy though

 

[isaku5]

Nebe, I totally understand that when FH scoops you up and takes good care of you when you''re sick that you''d go back. Four years is not very long to be together either. For some reason, I''d thought it was longer and that was why I made that comment.

I would hope that our two kids would arrange a dinner or party for our 50th. Luckily, both are doing very well so they could afford to do something nice. We''ll see.

Take care of yourself and check in more often, okay?

 

[PavePrincess]

Hello Fellow Ladies in Waiting!

I would like to be added to this list please.. My bf just picked up the ring, but school has put us in a long distance relationship (my choice.. boo). So, I''m hoping my stay on this list will be relatively short, but I guess I''ll have to see when I go home in a month. Good luck to all of you ladies. I''ve definitely been having fun the last couple of days reading the posts.
