It's more the ones where the rings look like they are squeezing the life out of the fingers they are on... maybe I wear mine too big, but I hate the look of finger bulging out around rings.

i wish i had snow! granted, no one in *PNW can drive in snow, but i still wish we had some!

*some can drive, most cannot. I blame it on the lack of consistant weather.

I''ve got no problem driving in snow. It''s just the ice, hills, going, stopping, and turning that are the problem....

So are you going to give anymore deets on your trip, B?

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I HATE sausage fingers!!! I have the worst problem with this and pictures make it look so much worse than it is IRL.

Oh me too! Tight rings make me so nervous. I think it''s because I have claustrophobia or something.

I have giant hands so I hate putting up hand shots too.

TP how are you feeling today? Are you over the moon?

Whenever I see too-tight rings, I panic and have to take my rings off immediately. It makes me queasy!

Yeah! It makes me feel ill.
I also can''t stand when people''s watches are really tight on their wrists (I wear mine loose).

of course!

what would you like to know???

First of all, if you all want to go to PR for our GTG, I am 10000% down! It is awesome. No spiders but I did see geckos, tons of birds, TONS of roosters/chickens, stray dogs, an iguana, lots and lots of tropical fish...

Also, we didn''t get to the El Yunque because we were all the way on the other side of the island and it was getting sort of complicated (talk about DRAMZ...not with us but with my FSIL and her husband and FI''s parents...we stayed out of it).

what did I eat: mofongo (yum), arroz con habichuelas/gandules, tostones, empanadillas (yummmmm), pastelillos de guayaba, great cafe con leche, ensalada de carrucho (conche salad)...and much, much more.

So funny you say that because I can''t wear my watch tight either and it''s been spinning around on my arm and driving me crazy this morning. I might just have to take it off.

I am however sporting a hello kitty bandaid that matches my pink pinstripe shirt perfect. Thank goodness for having a mini!

Feeling amazing. So excited.

Even spilling a hot cup of tea all down the front of myself (I''m still damp) didn''t spoil my mood.

YES, we ate and drank...A LOT.

Went to the beach almost every day. Went into the local cities and towns. We stayed in Rincon but we went into Mayaguez (3rd largest city in PR) and visited the town my FFIL is from (Añasco). I met FI''s aunt and cousin for the first time, that was really nice. Got a great tan. Had fun with FI''s nephew. Went in the hot tub and saw a lot of sunsets. The only thing we didn''t do was go to the rainforest which we really wanted to do and we also didn''t go into San Juan. Next time.

Oh, and we went snorkeling!!! We bought the equipment on our own and just snorkled around the beach...that was really cool. I took a lot of great shots too...I''ll post some here or maybe on FB.

Feeling amazing. So excited.


Even spilling a hot cup of tea all down the front of myself (I'm still damp) didn't spoil my mood.

Wlll... is it? Is it??

That is the one. The picture really doesn't do it justice. -- We looked at a nearly identical one that was 1.5 ct (right about .7ct centerstone) and it just felt too big on my hand.

I got a nice close look at the two they had in stock so I was able to compare diamond quality and pick my favorite. It'll look amazing with a 1/2 eternity band next to it. (I hinted -- maybe for a first anniversary???)

The best part:
Every ring we looked at fit me just perfectly. (I guess I am a size 6?)


ETA: This is exactly what I wanted WF to make for me.

 

[sunnyd]

Can you guys help a sista out with her resume? How do you list multiple positions you''ve held within the same company? Any recommended sites for resume building? I feel like such a tard at this.

The ones I''m looking at suck. You have to click on 3463 links to get to something useless.

 

[Squirrly]

Bia, my gmail was acting funny this morning, but my intranet was also down. Unrelated. Gmail is working fine for me now.

Anyone want to take my algebra midterm for me? Please?

I''ve been doing great with stuff. No trouble with homework or quizes. Now I''m here reviewing stuff and my mind is blank.


I''ll be fine. I''ve never had a problem with test nerves. A little more review and some oatmeal - fig cookies and I''ll be ready in plenty of time.

 

[Lauren8211]

I''ll take it! I <3 algebra!
