6. Anything interesting going on this week? Working on our house, client wedding this weekend. Not too much going on.1. Did you buy a high school class ring? Do you still wear it? i did, and i wore it until halfway through senior year when somehow i flung it off in my sleep. my mom swore up and down i'd lost it and didn't want to admit it..but i knew i went to sleep with it on, and woke up with it off! we found it when i was packing for college. i haven't worn it regularly since then, but i'm still really glad i have it...maybe i'll bust it out on a necklace one of these days
2. Did you buy a college class ring? Do you still wear it? no, it seemed silly. plus, my parents bought me a nice iolite ring for christmas in college, so i wore that on my right hand until a stone fell out, now i have a small diamond ring i wear when i'm not wearing a big chunky fun ring.
3. What is your favorite non-wedding piece of jewelry? omg, i am a jewelry fiend, i have gobs and gobs of necklaces and rings and earrings and bracelets and all sorts of goodies. but my fave is probably the cocktail ring i got from my grandmother, it was my great aunt's. it's white gold, and it's got probably 60+ small diamonds all over it...it's about the size of a walnut. it's sparkly and gaudy and amazing...and i'm the only one in my family who appreciates it
4. If you could redo any room in your house, which one would you do? Do you have any plans to remodel it? i HATE our kitchen, and it's most definitely on the list of remodel projects...down the road probably. we'll be putting in new cabinets and drawers that don't suck, knocking out part of a wall to make a bar, and putting hardwood floors in, and stone countertops.
5. Do you use Pinterest? What do you like about it? obsessed with it. i LOVE being able to see so many things in one place, diy ideas and food stuff and fun outfits....i always browse the food section if i need a new recipe.

5. Do you use Pinterest? What do you like about it? No. I signed up, but haven't really done anything.
6. Anything interesting going on this week? Not really so far...
1. Did you buy a high school class ring? Do you still wear it? I did. My parents bought it "early" (sophomore year) because they knew I'd stop wearing it after HS, which I did. I loved it - it was one of the big styles with a blue stone and you could see an eagle (our mascot) under the stone. I still have it.
2. Did you buy a college class ring? Do you still wear it? I did and I wore it fairly often until it got too small. I need to start wearing it again. It's really simple and doesn't even look like a class ring. I can't find a pic, but it has a green stone (both a school and birth month color) with very fine writing on the sides.
3. What is your favorite non-wedding piece of jewelry? My 3-stone diamond pendant. It's shaped somewhat like a snowman, little on top to bigger on bottom. DH spent a lot of time picking out each stone individually and having it added to the existing pendant for Christmas 3 yrs in a row. I'm stopping at 3 though.
The next one to add would cost way too much! Second would be my "Caribbean/rainbow/mystic/whatever" topaz pendant I bought in St. Martin. I get so many compliments and it goes with a lot of my clothes.
4. If you could redo any room in your house, which one would you do? Do you have any plans to remodel it? ALL OF THEM! We'll be stripping border and repainting the bedroom this year. I hope to get new living room furniture and paint it next year. If I'm lucky, I can start on the kitchen next year. I figure I can at least get the 6 freaking layers of wallpaper down and repaint, even though I want new flooring, etc.
5. Do you use Pinterest? What do you like about it? Nope
6. Anything interesting going on this week?
1. Did you buy a high school class ring? Do you still wear it? I bought one junior year and wore it in HS, but pretty much stopped after that. I'm not even sure where it is now.
2. Did you buy a college class ring? Do you still wear it? Nope.
3. What is your favorite non-wedding piece of jewelry? Pearl earrings my parents gave me before I left for Russia after college. To me they will always represent my parents' faith in me and their support of my wanderlust. I look forward to passing them on to Baby K with the same message.
4. If you could redo any room in your house, which one would you do? Do you have any plans to remodel it? Probably the living room. But we rent, so no remodel plans here.
5. Do you use Pinterest? What do you like about it? No.
6. Anything interesting going on this week? Not really. I'm finally getting an eyebrow wax on Friday (it's been 10 weeks!). Can't wait to look like a normal person again!
