Who LaurenThePartier!!!

[LaurenThePartier]

Back to cars, my very first brand new car - I bought a VW Cabrio when I was 21.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I always wanted a Jazz Blue Cabrio - this bright blue colour that VW introduced the year after I bought mine, and I found the perfect one in 2002, so I bought it.

Me with the car. God, I miss this car!

I heart your Audi!!!! I test drove one and loved it, but decided its not too practical for Wisconsin and giant mounds of snow and ice.

Its lovely to get to know you better Lauren.. so if you like all things english you must like me!

Of course, Maisie!!!! Aside from what I can only assume is a lovely accent, you''re already my MySpace friend, and that''s saying something!!!!

So, I have a hilarious story about a British man I met over there, and I may have told it here once, but when I was living in London, I was working for a company called Micromuse. I lived fairly close to the office in a flat off of St. John''s Avenue and the High Street.

There was this bar across from the office, the Queen Adelaide, and I met a gentleman there. He was an Electrical Engineer for Ford UK, and had the most posh accent ever! I could listen to him for hours, but he wasn''t . . . much to look at.

He kept asking me out on dates, and finally I relented. We went to Hampton Court Palace and some French restaurant that night. He was a bit too . . . forward . . . on the date, so I decided we probably wouldn''t see each other again.

Except, I was young and didn''t know how to gracefully say, ''no, thanks'' to another date, so I just started avoiding his calls and emails.

I hadn''t heard from him in about 3 weeks, and he sends me an email to my Yahoo account. There was nothing in the body of the email, but there was a word doc attached. So, I''m sitting at work, open the attachment, and there is this 4 page doc talking about how wonderful I am . . . and then there is a 2 page gap with nothing but arrows pointing down.

And then - he proposed! By Email! After ONE DATE!!!!

I''m pretty sure he was just looking for a green card, but I never did email him back.

I''m not sure about the accent being lovely.. I live in the north east so I am far from posh!

I can''t believe that man proposed to you! Talk about rushing into things! That is just plain scary!!

I know the feeling - I feel like there''s a reason I should know you, but I can NOT place it!

This may sound weird, but have you ever had a Ford Contour or a Subaru?

Oh, and I wanted to post another pic of my car. To those of you trying to find me in "other" places, I may have a hint for you in this pic.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Since nearly every pic of my in here is old, thought I''d upload a newish one. I think I''ll still have hair this colour for the GTG, but who knows!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

Were you in a sorority?

Were you in a sorority?

Nope, and I went to school in Las Vegas, unless you call my Engineering club a "sorority".

And I''m a bit older than you - 33 on SUNDAY! Oh noes!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

Work in education or aviation?

Gorgeous! But I love red heads...

 

[coatimundi_org]

I''m 33--it''s not so bad!

Oh Lauren, you would have an amazing time in gem school! Wish you were in my class! Though it could be dangerous--we might enable each other a little too much!

You have such a love for gems and jewelry--you''d make a great G.G. If you have any questions about the program, just let me know! I graduate November 14.

You have an absolutely beautiful family!
No surprise--look who it produced!

I do too! You look really natural as both a redhead and a blond! That''s pretty cool.

Hey Lauren! Thanks to you I found this site and have been lurking and posting since! I lurk and use my bf''s account on OT! I love all the advice that you give all the guys on OT about e-rings. I tell my bf that we should seek your advice when he is reading to get my e-ring!

I think you have great taste and love all the advice you have given.

Coati, dear - you are just stunning! No one would EVER guess you are in your 30s - I would have guessed mid-20s at the oldest! Oh, and can I call you Erika here?

I actually do have loads of questions about the program! How long have you invested in schooling, and have you been doing it full time? Would it be possible to go through the program while I was working full time, or would you not suggest that? Congrats on graduating so soon! That''s so incredibly exciting!!!!

Thanks, Jodi! I''m naturally kind of a strawberry blonde, so the freckles work either way.

Yay! I''m so glad you found PS through OT!!!!! There is so much misinformation there, so I''m happy I can contribute when the threads pop up.

So, you have to tell me, who''s your BF on OT?

 

[mtjoya]

LOL...your the best Lauren! Well, my bf rarely posts...so he is an OG lurker since 01. He is alexj187. When he rarely posts, he posts in the car forum. But, I got into lurking and started to search and then I found you there and got into diamonds and such.

I tell him that when he is ready (hope soon)

I tell him to message you!

 

[joflier]

I know theres a thread in the hangout, but thought I''d post it here too - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

[geckodani]

The cars... the travel... the jewelry... the hobbies... Can I life swap with you for a week? LOL! Just kidding, I like my life, but yours sounds like a whole lot of fun too!

I love the shadows on the beach pictures! What a fun idea! We buy a small silver charm/pendant everywhere we go and use them as ornaments for the Christmas tree.

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Lauren: You''re one of my favorite PSers- I always enjoy reading your threads.

I had a blast reading your who''s who. THANKS for the pics and stories. You''ve led an interesting and fun life. Kudos to you!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

I am going to meet you in T-10 days!!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

[iwannaprettyone]

[Linda W]

Lauren, I love that picture of you. You are so adorable. I see you have on your gorgeous ring too.


Iwanna. Love the shadow pics of the Harley. My hubby really misses his. He keeps bugging me to get another one.
