you know your a PS''er when....

[honey22]

You know your a PSer when you find a picture of the perfect solitaire setting, run screaming into the other room to tell SO (who has significantly less enthusiasm than you), run into the wall and BREAK YOUR TOE!

And still manage to limp back within the hour to check it out again!!

It''s healing nicely by the way, still a little numb but I can bend it almost properly now! All good!

SO reckons we use way too many emoticons, so I guess you know your a PSer when you can''t help but use a little smiley face every time you type

 

[marcy]

These continue to be great - I nod my head at so many of them.

Ouch for breaking your toe, Honey22. Too funny though you were back looking your photo so soon.

Great ones Pandora.

Your know you''re a PS''er when you give you friends with dirty jewelry a jar of jewelry cleaner

You know you''re a PS''er when you know which restaurants have the best lighting for diamonds

Your know you''re a PS''er when you walk in to a B&M jewelry store and you know why they have dark and yellow lighting

Ok...What is a B&M Jewelry store? DOO DOO? I am seriously asking.

 

[Harleigh]

Brick & Mortar, meaning an actual store.

 

[Deelight]

You know your a PSer when you go to load google and the first link in your history is good old gold

You know your a OS PSer when you start obsessing about exchange rates so as to maximize your budget for your perfect sparklie

 

[Selkie]

...when you change the channel during those sappy Kay and Zales ads and threaten to divorce DH if he ever buys you jewelry from there

I have never done that before..

This thread is hilarious!

You know your a PSer when you look at photos/avatars with rings and know exactly who it is without seeing the name.

This is so me!!! When we were secretly organising my ering (no-one knows yet), I was stressing every day about the US dollar versus the Aussie dollar - my friends at work were like - huh! since when do you care about the foreign economy?!?! Well duh, if it has to do with sparklies I do!!

Honey you have just about summed up me in a nutshell I like check daily obsessively, I almost had a fit when I thought the exchange rate was a dollar for dollar but then I realized I was checking the AUD against the AUD *shakes head* unfortunately for my BF has this recorded on a voicemail, the shame he on the other hand thinks it is most hilarious.

LOL! That''s so funny! When we bought the ring, the dollar was at 89c, so we got 88c exchange rate. I nearly died when two weeks later, it was 93c or something stupid! I think it has gone even higher, but I have stopped watching (for now

), no more sparklies until it''s time to talk wedding bands. I think I will let BF get over the shock of spending so many $$ on the ering first.

 

[bem3231]

I''m joining this thread late but have one to add based on how I spent my afternoon today...

You know you''re a PS''er when you return home from having been out of the country for three weeks with a 24 hour turnaround before leaving on a business trip tomorrow and spend the afternoon taking photographs of your new ring to post on your SMTR thread rather than unpacking, doing laundry, repacking, etc...

 

[bem3231]

One more...

You know you're a PS'er when you overhear your FI describing PS to friends as, "sort of like Facebook for the diamond-obsessed".

Oh, and also when you carry a baby toothbrush in your purse.

 

[Sparkalicious]

You know you are a PS''er when you are flipping through TV channels and stop on the Shopping Channel b/c the person presenting whatever it is has a gorgeous ring on and you want to know more about it ... you watch and wait to see if they will do a close up, even if what they are selling has nothing to do with jewelry ... you still watch and wait.
Maybe, just maybe, they will get close enough and you will be able to tell the diamond shape and be able to guess the carat weight.

You eventually continue to flip through channels, annoyed now b/c they finished selling whatever the heck they were selling, you still don''t know what it was that they were actually trying to hawk but you know that you never got a good enough shot of the gorgeous ring that the presenter was wearing to satisfy your bling obsession.

 

[marcy]

You are thankful you are a PS''er when you are waiting in the car for your DH to be finished visiting with this buddies but you don''t mind because you''ve got the Sun shining on your wrings, sapphire / diamond ring, sapphire / diamond bracelet and diamond bracelet. It''s fun to watch them sparkle in the sunlight. "Ooh there''s a great fire shot - where is my camera?"

 

[gemgirl]

I''ve done so many of the things mentioned.... I''m laughing at myself. I''m often beeped at lights because I get lost staring at my sparklies in the sunlight. Most often I know MUCH more than the person showing me a piece of jewelry in a store. I always notice womens'' rings standing on line in department stores, the bank, the pharmacy. Most recently a women caught me looking at her ring and all I could think to say is "hey, another pear girl" which prompted her to start talking about her ring. She asked me what I clean my ring with because it''s so clear, bright and sparkly. So I told her. She went on to say that she was going to start cleaning her ring every morning before work. (What I didn''t mention is that her diamond wasn''t dirty, it was completely included and she could never scrub that away. Poor woman, I felt so bad for her).

But the ultimate indication of being diamond addicted is........... When you trade your tenth anniversary/second honeymoon trip to Sandal''s Royal Caribbean with free double room upgrade for a trip to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas to dig for your own (hopefully) D flawless. Yes, my husband is actually also into this and has asked me to find us a nice place to stay. Being the most competitive person I''ve ever known, he''s promised (?) that we will NOT come home empty handed.

You know you''re a PS''er when you don''t care about the strange looks you''re getting as you ride the elevator up and down your hotel staring at your ring sparkle.

You know you''re a PS''er when you wish that they would create a blackberry friendly version of PS so you''d never have to be without it.

OOoh PS for blackberry - now THAT would be amazing!

 

[Catmom]

You know you''re a PSer when you get stopped by a LONG freight train and the first thought to pop in your head is "cool now I can play with my rings" cuz it''s sunny out!

 

[Ellen]

I haven''t read every response, so sorry if I''m repeating.

You know you''re a PS''s when you and hubby are riding in the car, and hubby reaches over to grab your hand and you say, Don''t touch my ring!!

Poor guy, he still hasn''t learned that.

Oh I know that! I always give him my right hand to hold--I won''t let him hold the left! When we go for walks I''m always on his left.

 

[emilina22]

sometimes in church my ERING is what M plays with because of the awesome lighting...

You know your a PS''er when you purposly take the elevator up to the 2nd floor becasue you like to look at your ring through the ceiling mirrors (so freaking cool...i swear its like a ball of fire)

 

[Sparkles22]

You know you''re a PSer when you get mad because the sun won''t come out for your photoshoot of your jewelry (not because you want to enjoy the nice weather)

 

[Lynnie]

You know you''re a PSer when:

You chase the cat off the sunspot on the floor cause you know you''ll get a great shot!

My poor cat loves to sit in the sunspot - I have a small apartment and if it''s sunny out, it shines on the living room floor at about 2-3pm. I feel bad about chasing him away! Oh, well - thats what treats are for

ROFL!!! LOL or push their curious nose out of the way LOL!

 

[emilina22]

haha you know your a ps''er when your at your friends house and you offer to do the dishes and you accidentally happen to spot her wedding set (which is dirty and makes you sad) and you clean it for her while she is in the other room....

 

[just_looking!]

Tee Hee! The ultrasonic solution recipe is sooooo true... I''ve even got a friend who bought an ultrasonic because my jewellery is sparkly and now she has her own special recipe. Even friends who don''t have US are in on the hot water, windex, vodka secret.

You also know you''re a PS''er when your husband saves a downloaded car programme so that you can stare at the president of Nascar''s amazing bling and so that you can also see that Scotland''s best Nascar racer is married to Ashley Judd who just happens to have a Leon Mege ring!

Your a PSer if you''ve changed all the available light bulbs in your house to be sparkle friendly!

I have been meaning to do this! What sort of lighting do you suggest!

 

[Harleigh]

You know you''re a PS''er when you try to convince your FI you MUST now have season tickets to the Sacramento Kings (even though they stink lately!) because the overhead lights in Arco Arena do INCREDIBLE things for your bling!

We went to a game the other night and I was so busy checking out my ring and everyone else''s jewelry around me that I have NO idea what went on during most of the game, which the Kings actually won AND we were right there smack dab in the front...I had no clue!

I tried to point out how gorgeous my e-ring looked to my FI, but he didn''t really seem to care...

Time to petition the government to switch to driving on the left perchance?
