A couple of updates

[flex]

1)  My "pick out any bling you want" appointment is scheduled for next Thursday afternoon.  The owner left town today and she's already booked up for when she gets back.

2) I've gone to the movies once with the nice guy.  We're planning on going to see Iron Man 2 this Wednesday.  He's a great guy and its clear he likes me.  We had coffee yesterday and I warned him that my heart was broken 10/07 so I'm not guaranteeing that we're going to be a couple or anything--I just felt compelled to get that out in the open.  

He appreciates my honesty, so we'll see where this goes.  But it can't hurt--it's not like I have guys beating down my door.   (hot)

Yay!

Sounds good! And you never know, this guy might surprise you.

What's cool about this is we came THIS CLOSE to becoming an item 11 years ago. It was right before I met DH.

I often wondered what happened to him, and then our paths crossed back in February. How cool is that?

I've gotten kind of used to the independence "aloneness" brings so hopefully I'm not too standoffish. lol

When I talked to the bling lady to set up my appointment, she asks "Well, do you have any idea of what you're looking for?" And I'm like "Umm er uh!"

I'm not used to "pick out anything you want!" I'm so used to having a budget. lol It's a bit overwhelming really.

I think both Thing 1 and Thing 2 will turn out well.

My fingers are crossed, gretch!

Sounds great! That's cool you have a background story with him

[annyong]

Double yay!

Great updates!

And you probably "don't have guys beating down your door", because they are too intimidated to approach the lovely flex ;-)

I missed some backstory. How did you get to pick any jewelry you want?? That sounds like so much fun!! You should try it all on and have a photo shoot montage like in the movies!!

Yes, you must take a Phoebe pic like when she is (supposed to be) watching the ring for Chandler.

Anyway, I like this update.

I got a gift card from my MIL last Saturday from a jewelry consignment store.  The amount of the GC is "priceless" which means I can pick out any piece of jewelry I want!  I'm not used to carte blanche so it's an exciting prospect, but also a bit intimidating.
