Calling Old Guard...

oceana919

So, it feels like it's been forever...how are some of our "old guard" ladies doing?

Wedding planning news (for the engaged ladies)? Any new baby making? How is married life in general, for our married ladies? Snarky observation of the week?

I'm not gonna lie...I miss all my uppity biznitches on here...

We NEED a mass text, when you find out.  I'll be squeeeeing at my desk. lol

Married life is going great.  We had a great trip back home for the holidays - it was amazing to wake up to a White Christmas and sit around the fire place all day in our new pj's and eating walnut apple sticky buns MmmMmmMmm...  Now unfortunately I'm battling the worst cold/flu EVER and feel like death. 

Oh, and my New Years present from work is that they cut my hours and raised the cost of health insurance.  Not good at all.  I'm currently looking for a new job.

How did my post get way up there...?

Thats what I was wondering Paige - TK has gone nuts I think.

PaigeMcC

Wurd up, homeslice.

No news. Just posted my necklace and dress.  You know the rest;)

What's up? Where's your DIY AWing? I DEMAND DIY! 

oceana919

I just posted a couple links in your jewelry thread. We need to find you some jewelry, so you can help me find some jewelry. I'm still a big fat ZERO in that department, and my wedding is like, three months out.

Argggg...forgot to take DIY pics last night. Will take some tonight...BM is coming over to help me finish my invitations.

Married life is great and DH and I have been able to spend some good time together this week since my work schedule is good. We're thinking of heading up to Austin this weekend to visit some friends so I'm pretty excited about that!

On the baby making front my m/s is coming and going. I have good days and bad days but it's been minimal the last couple of days so I'm enjoying that. My next doctor appointment is on February 2 and I'll be having my gender scan! I can't wait

Hey Oceana! I do so miss the Old Guard sometimes. (However, I love that BSC was invented even before I showed up and it is still used. Often by people who themselves are BSC, but that's part of the fun.)

All is well here. I traveled for work for most of 2010 (explains my absence) but finally spent some time in my "new" home starting mid-November. I start traveling again next week. Not too soon either - aside from loving the time at home with BF, this place kind of blows.

Work is steady but not particularly interesting at the moment. I should just be happy I can keep paying my bills! But a little mental stimulation would be good. Maybe it's time for a new class...

And yeah - where's the DIY AW?!?!?

PaigeMcC

Oceana what are we looking for? I'll go shopping!

Saph - Gender scan...so soon?! ZOMG exciting! I vote girl;)

sapphirebaby926

I can understand having a hard time finding that one piece that stands out to you when there are so many to choose from

This is a really pretty pearl necklace that might work - I love the little flower on it. I'd probably buy it just because but I really like pearls

I also like this bracelet

A necklace that'd go with the bracelet

This is pretty too but it may be more detailed than what you're looking for

And why is TK being all screwy??

sapphirebaby926

It's a fact.  Mutley had Mr. Man now you are having Lil Miss.  Although another Mr.Man would be AWESOME as well!  I'm so excited for you and DH!

oceana919

WTF is going on with TK today?!?!?

oceana919

LIL MISS ALL THE WAY!

Saph, you seriously need to send me the results of the scan ASAP. I keep seeing adorable little girl clothes that I want to buy and I can't until I know for sure. Internet aunties love to spoil.

I'm looking for silver/white gold jewelry with clear crystals/stones and/or white pearls. Given the amount of detail/beadwork on my dress, I'm trying to find something delicate...thinking earrings and a necklace, but I'd be open to a bracelet. I've seriously scoured the interwebz for months and haven't found anything I liked.

sapphirebaby926

No worries Auntie Oceana her internet aunties will be the first to know
I'm thinking another mass text is in order once I have the results?

I confess I have bought a few clothes already but I've been trying to keep them gender neutral. I'm sad though because the Old Navy in town is closing right before the gender scan

Overzealous newish reg snark is the suck. I don't know if it's b/c it's gratuitous (IMO) or b/c they're just not as good at it as Mutley. But it's kinda chapping my asss right now.
