[QUOTE]I'm pretty sure none of my family lurk here and if they do and see what I complain about I really don't care. My mother has been driving me crazy the last couple days. She wants to go have dinner with us next Saturday to celebrate Edmund's birth, her birthday and my birthday. She was constantly texting me last night hounding me about it. Where we wanted to go and what time. I didn't respond and she said that we didn't have to make a decision right away. Then today she texted me and asked if I really wanted her to come visit or if I wanted her to wait until later to visit. She's just very impatient. The day Edmund was born we sent her a text letting her know he was here and she sent about 500 texts asking where her picture was. He hadn't even been born for 10 minutes yet.

Whoa, after 10 minutes?! Well, I guess she is a very anxious grandma. I can imagine it might be frustrating to be across the country from your (first?) grandchild. Either way, that would be annoying for you though.

Meg--- I'm watching!! After buffalo, Detroit is my favorite team so I totally have it on and am super excited.

Meg1036

Yay ggirl!

I am still very mad at them for getting in a 3-0 hole this series.  But they still have a chance to redeem themselves.

I don't have another final until Friday and I'm more confident about that one so I am twiddling my thumbs trying to think of what to do for the rest of the night. I'm all strung out after being upset. I haven't been that upset in a LONG time. I don't deal well with being mad. I'm usually pretty levelheaded so it is a strange feeling.

ggirl2001

Yeah, that's ridiculous. But, if they do redeem this series and win they are going to have a tough time against Vancouver.

So I kind of want to buy this necklace for the wedding:

It's hard buying jewelry online for a dress that is in a bag 2 hours away though.

These are the earrings I bought as reference:

Andy are you still around? A night like this would make letting out some steam via Shouthouse style very enjoyable. Damn storms/it being a Tuesday.

Ohhh that is a gorgeous necklace, birdie. :) I love it. I want pearls too. I think it would go great with those earrings since they are small and not too dangly.

Ciaram22

She's not even across the country, but she is 300 miles away on the Eastern side of the state. She hasn't expressed any interest to me in being grandma and actually told my sister that she hoped never to be a grandma.

Birdie, that necklace is amazing! What does your dress look like? 

ggirl2001

I like it Birdie! What's your dress look like?? I love the pearl look, but I am not doing it for the wedding. I'm wearing family jewelry.

pantherRN

Birdie, I like the necklace. Is the bodice of your dress heavily beaded or detailed? I might just worry about it being too much...

I will say you can't really trust my fashion judgement though. I wear pajamas for a living, lol.

Birdie1483

I'm thinking so too! Do you think both of those would look ok on this dress in white?

Meg1036

Eh, we'll deal with vancouver if/when we get there.

Birdie - I am actually considering the exact same necklace!  But my dress isn't even here yet, and I'm having a hard time figuring out if the broach will be too big for my style.

Birdie1483

Panther, that's my worry. However, the model in the dress has a little bling so I don't know.

Ciaram22

I really like that necklace birdie!

ggirl2001

I loooveeee your dress. I can see the necklace/earring combo working. The necklace would be a total bold statement piece.

Ghoti

Oooj Birdie I've looked at that same one! We should totally go in halfsies. 

Birdie1483

You have good taste Meg!

pantherRN

Birdie, I think you'd be ok with that necklace. The flower details match really well!

laurenpm

I say go for it, Birdie!

Ciaram22

I think it will all look great together birdie!

Meg1036

thanks, birdie.  I definitely think it works with your dress!

Etsy is a crazy place.  I love it, but I get lost on there sometimes.

Birdie1483

Thanks guys! I"m going to stew on it, and see what I think. I fell in love with those earrings as soon as I saw them. I bough them the next day. I'm trying not to have buyers remorse now. I think I just need to find a good necklace to go with them.

Birdie1483

Just because I'm an AW, here I am in the dress (pic courtesy of LVB).

I feel a little self concious about my broad* shoulder/upper boob area, so I thought something like that necklace might be nice.

*typo. Damn wine.

ggirl2001

I can see the necklace working now.

Meg1036

Birdie, I love you in the dress!

And your shoulder/boob/arm area looks fine to me!

ggirl2001

and I just love that dress. Earrings and necklace would be perfect.

Birdie1483

Haha thanks guys. And those tan lines? Are from 4th of July last year. That sunburn would rate in the top two of the worst in my life. Sunblock is your friend! I have a lovely criss cross shape on my back and LVB was like WTF dude??

ggirl2001

 stupid tan lines. I have to watch it this summer because of the strapless dress.
