Okay, girls and boys, I have a few pics to add to this bling delight. It''s so funny, but Al had the BEST camera, and KT and I deferred to her expertise. I did manage to get a few. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did taking them. One of the best parts of the blingarama came when we got nervous and put the jewels back on. We didn''t put our own back on. Being true PSers, we wanted to see what other people see when they look at our hands.

I wore KT''s mongo bodacious set. KT wore Al''s stunningly jaw dropping set. Al wore my lovely halo. It was so cool!!!!!

I think the other diners thought we were nutso. The place could have burned down and we would not have noticed. It would have been "Oh, Al, see how the fire flickers on the bling. Get a pic."

We were so awful. Al and KT were just incredible to meet in person. I felt as if we had known each other forever and just were getting together to catch up. Trust me there were no awkward conversational pauses.

In honor of PS, we had to order the lemon cheesecake with raspberry sauce and REAL whipped cream. I know there are those among us who will say that it''s not true lemon pie. However, it was delicious and as close as the Cheesecake Factory could come to the real PS deal.

The funny story about the garage is that it''s a good thing Al had a great spot and drove KT and I (especially me) to our vehicles. I would still be hunting mine.

To say I am parking lot challenged, would be to understate the case. Al was so patient and I was panicking. My DH had to be at work for 3 and at 2:35 we had just found my van (after 15 to 20 minutes of looking). I still had to get out of the garage (at least a 15 minute endeavor) and make it home. I think there are probably still two people cursing me for almost running them off the road. I made it though, and so did honey. I thought I was parked stateside, and I was parked cityside. I would like to say that was an easy mistake to make. Well, I''d like to. LOL

Thank you all for sharing our day vicariously. Without further ado, my puny few additional pics.

This is my favorite one. It shows all of ours on KT''s hand. The big picture window was behind us. She was seated next to me on my left.
