So as a side note, I have a lovely small group of close girlfriends. We share similar lifestyles, have young children, share vacations and weekends together. But NONE of my close girlfriends have any interest in jewelry, handbags, or fashion related items. I have a passion for that kind of stuff and really enjoy it! But I have no one to talk to about it in real life. This is why I enjoy PS so much. But it just sucks when I get really excited about a purchase or something new and shiny and have no one to share it with IRL! (besides my DH who just listens, nods, and smiles)
So today I am standing in line at a deli waiting for some subs. I notice a woman in front of me probably in her late 40's. She has on probably a 3ct MRB engagement ring that was sparkling like mad. Now, where I live that is a very large stone. Most stones here are in the .5ct center stone range. So while waiting I complimented her on it and she was so delighted! She told me all about her upgrades, and how she is actually married to a member of a well known locally owned family jewelry store here, and how she is saving her old ER's for her daughters down the road. She loved my set too and we stood talking even after our orders were ready. We seemed to hit it off!
I walked out of there with a total girl crush! It sucks not having anyone who enjoys these things with me in real life. Does anyone else have this same issue? I would love to attend a PS GTG at some point to meet some of you ladies. The Vegas one is just not going to work for me for awhile as I live on the East coast and have two young children. But I really liked DS's idea of having a possible one NYC at some point!
