Thanks ladies!

I''m going to go take a shower and then head over there to hang out with her. I would take my homework if I could, but its supposed to be a 15 minute intensive interview with someone about DWI, translated into field notes and I don''t think my mom has anything to really say on the matter. However, I have a quiz tonight that I can''t skip out on, so I''m probably going to take my textbook and skim through it a bit.

Blondebunny, it''d be fantastic if you posted a picture of your new shoes. I won''t be getting anymore for a while, so if I could live vicariously through your new purchase, it''d be great.

ok i took some pics of some of my fav...i have been trying harder to wear heels... but its hard LOL.. :-0 I used to have a TON of shoes... but then when me and the BF moved into togther... bye bye went BBs shoes and purses...grrrr.. I will post them in my Who''s Who thread so yours doesnt get hijacked :)
 
I''d spend the time with her too Freke. Hopefully your professor will understand. Sending my best wishes to you and your mom.
 
Thanks ladies.

Turns out my prof is a breast cancer survivor, so she was really understanding, supportive and nice about everything. My mom got out of the hospital today, so I''m really happy about that. Nothing else is really going on, except I did make a rum cake, and I''ll post the picture over here too...I bake when I''m stressed. It''s comforting.

Knowing how much we look at shoes, I give you/us 1 week MAX before we get something new. LOL!
 
Hahahahaha!!! You''re probably right.
 
So FF is naughty. Yesterday I asked him to take out the stone and look at it and tell me what it looks like. So I''m sitting on the bed, and he pulls it out, looks at it, describes it, AND THEN he decides that I should see it. So he turns the little plastic box towards me, and removes his hand from in front of it.

And my eyes stayed on his.

I never looked down at it once. I think he was surprised that I didn''t. But stupid peripheral vision, so I got a glimpse of it, even though I didn''t want to. But I still maintain that I haven''t seen it because I haven''t gotten to actually look at it.

I''m so proud of myself.
 
OK Freke, how could you stand not to look at it??? I would be going crazy!!!! Are you going to set the beauty yourself?? Of is FF going to do it? I would be going nutso.

He''s doing it. I revised my setting sheet the other day and made him read it. He didn''t understand half the terms (What MA and almost Phd?) but how hard is it to figure out what flush-fit is? And a domed comfort fit shank? I guess I''ll just have to explain it all to him. I am going nutso. I''m hitting one of those phases where ALL I WANT IS TO BE ENGAGED (or married even) and NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. I even wrote this on the setting sheet:

"But really, I don''t care. This is the least important part of spending the rest of my life with you."

It''s LIWitis at it''s worst.

As for the recipe, how about next weekend? I really really need to be doing some midterm studying, but I''m slacking off on it, but those will be over and done on Wednesday. Technically Tuesday, but I still have another class on Wednesday, BUT Thursday and Friday are FALL BREAK, WOOT WOOT!!!! So next weekend?

Hiya Freke,

I''m so sorry about your mom. I''m glad she''s out of the hospital.

Dang, you can bake! That cake looks amazing!
 
Ok. I''m going to type up my E-Ring Setting Sheet for you guys to read--because D doesn''t know any terms, so he can''t tell me if it makes sense. Let me know what you think I should change (this is verbatim):

________________________________________________________________________

NOTE:The longer you wait, the more expensive this will get. The price of precious metal is only going up. Platinum normally costs about $500 more than the same thing in white gold.

For the Varna type setting:
-2 sapphires on shoulders of ring (2mm diameter)
-White sapphire sidestones
-Ring should look like a solitaire from top view; center stone should serve as an umbrella for the sidestones
-The inspiration for this is the Varna st-105 and st-122. I have pictures if you want them.

For the solitaire setting:
-Classic(ish)4 prong solitaire
-I love surprise stones almost as much as surprises

Key words for both settings: organic, flowy, fluid, soft, curvy, swoopy

For both:
-Flush fit with wedding band
-Domed shank with comfort fit
-Platinum of white gold
-Shank= 2mm
-Ring size= 6.5
-4 prongs on center stone

But really, I don''t care. this is the least important part of spending the rest of my life with you.

So???
 
Thanks coati!

If you ever need any recipes, let me know!!!!

And I''m glad she''s out of the hospital too. I hope she stays out for a good long time now.
 
Take your time, I was only teasing you. I know how busy you are. Too bad you just can''t design your own ring.
 
Me too Freke, is she eating better now???

Lol. I swear I''m not slacking!

I actually thought of a design last night, but I can''t draw worth a poo, and I''ve never seen anything like what''s in my head. But it is very swoopy, fluid, and flowy. Lol.

She''s not really eating better yet. I think she''s trying to drink more fluids but it''s hard that they don''t taste good. Plus she has developed sores in her mouth and throat that hurt when she eats hot stuff (heat and spicy) so that''s not helping anything. I''m going over there next weekend to make soups for her, and when I told her about it she got really excited. She''s already requested cream of asparagus, cream of broccoli, and cheddar with cauliflower. So we shall see how that goes.

FF was supposed to go to Portland next weekend for a conference, but when my mom went into the hospital he decided that it would probably be a better idea for him to stay here with me, just in case something happens to her. He doesn''t want me to be here by myself during Fall Break if she has to go back to the hospital or something. And he wasn''t doing anything at the conference, just going to observe because his work was going and the Federal government was paying for it.

So I''m going to recruit D as my sous chef, and I''m sure my mom will be thrilled to have him come over too.
 
I am SO proud of you, Freke, for not looking down...I don''t think I have the willpower for that!

Good luck on your exams...woohoo for Fall Break!
 
Soooo...I just received a call that my mom is back in the hospital...
 
OHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh Freke, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I am sending prayers and fairy dust immediately!!!!!
 
I am so frustrated. No one ever leaves a number I can reach them on. And neither of my parents leave their cell phones on. So I''m a bit POed right now. My dad left a message for me saying that she''s having stomach issues, so they put her in there as a precaution, and she''ll get out tomorrow.

I am going to throw a fit at my father for continuing to not leave a number where I can reach her OR him.

And then to top it off, I have midterms to work on.

Seriously. A fit.
 
ACK!!! That would drive me nuts too. Tell your dad he MUST leave his cell phone on, especially as far as your mother is concerned. It is really important.

I am glad she will be able to come home tomorrow.
 
I just talked to my mom. She basically called the cancer center, asked if she could take a certain OTC medicine, and instead of saying yes or no, they said, "You need to be admitted into the hospital as a precaution and for observation." So she went. And now she''s in the hospital again. But they put her on a saline drip because she got dehydrated again (ERGH) and she said she''s feeling a lot better already. She sounds pretty good to be honest. Almost normal. I told her to tell my dad that he needs to leave a number that I can reach them at. She''s pretty upset that they stuck her in the hospital again. She thinks they are being overly cautious. So, yeah.
 
I am glad she is OK but.................... please tell her to drink more fluids. I know it is easier said then done. I did the same thing going through chemo. Please tell her just to keep sipping on liquids every few minutes.
 
Oh Freke, I''m sorry your Mom''s in the hospital again. I hope she drinks more fluids. I''m glad you told her to tell your Dad to leave you a number. That would be so frustrating--not being able to reach them! I''m excited for your Mom to drink those soups! They sound delicious. You are a good daughter, Freke.
 
Freke, I''m so sorry your mom is back in the hospital--I''m keeping her in my prayers. She''s lucky to have you as a daughter. I''m sure she''s really looking forward to all those cream soups you''ll make her soon!

It was so good of Dale to cancel his trip to be with you--he''s a gem. Not to say you guys shouldn''t come to Portland, because you totally should. It''s a lovely city.
 
Wow, Freke...that just sucks. I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this up and down stuff with your mom. I know it''s not easy...you are a wonderful daughter for caring so much...your mom knows how much you care about her...try not to let it get you too down so that it interferes with your exams.

I am glad she is taking precautions to be safe, but I also hope this doesn''t start to be a constant occurrence...she''s going to drive you to drink!!! (Just make sure your top is all the way on when you do!)
 
Freke, How is your mother this morning?? Is she home from the hospital????
 
Thanks Ladies.

Linda, I''m sorry I didn''t see this until now. She called me this morning (I was up past two working on a midterm) and woke me up to tell me that they are going to keep her another night because a test hasn''t come back yet.

...sigh...

And I feel like I''m neglecting her because I can''t afford any time to go by there with my stupid midterms (I HATE HATE HATE school) and I''m just feeling dejected about everything at the moment.
